    The Crimson

    I feel it welling up inside and Robert Smith lied, boys do cry
    and with blood tears in my eyes i'm an Anne Rice novel come to life,
    i can't hide the monster anymore
    one can only feel desolate for so long until one starts to change into something the mirror doesn't recognize,
    I metamorphosize, the darkness has been biding it's time to claim it's latest victim, fresh meat for carnal desires, to become what i became, i viewed the sun for the last time.
    Will you still hold me when you see what i have done?
    Will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victims blood?
    so crimson and red i feel it flowing from your lips,
    my heart is dead and so are you.
    And it pulses through, the desire to change, to deconstruct all of my past failings, but where to begin because when you live in sin it's hard to look at saints without them reflecting their jet black auras back on you.
    And all i have is hope, and all i need is time, to bury in pine under six feet of time
    the lies i told me about myself, claw my way out pick the splinters from under
    my fingernails, i won't lose hope, i won't give in. Just live and breath try
    not to die again.
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt
    ----
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

    i know what you are doing,and i'm glad for it.


    but hey,i saw rainbows last week in skies that hadnt seen rain for weeks......



    i didnt even know that was possible......

    in time you will realize a lot of things are possible that dont seem so now.


    such as a killer smile on your face matched by the most important smile,the one that is in the eyes....


    take care my friend....


    out....

    i can make it reach the face if i have to...i don't believe it's hit the eyes in a while.

    thanks for the bit of rainbow today.

    My Sanity On The Funeral Pyre

    Paranoia is the insect worming it's way through my subconscious thoughts,
    it's the larva of my self doubt, gestating in my heart as i spiral down and
    everything i touch is breaking and it falls to earth in splinters and i
    shiver as every splinter finds it's way underneath my skin, and after 22
    years i can still make my skin crawl, every shortcoming a pitfall, on my way
    to making amends within myself to be what i became. Sometimes it feels like
    the whole wide world has made itself my enemy, but i will stand upon my own
    two feet and raise my head up. I lick my wounds trying to cleanse the
    infection, rabid and diseased reality fades away, when i pushed myself too
    far, a dream of emotional perfection has left a wounded heart, trying to
    perceive the gifts inherent inside me it's like squeezing the trigger, it's
    like opening fire on everyone who's let me down, on every beautiful lie that
    is only fiction for the first time, i'm losing control and i like it,
    freedom feels like the noose is gone.
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt

    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

    Dilated

    Yesterday I forgot to breathe for like the 6th time this week.
    maybe it was the pink cloud strafed sky that changed my mind and brought me back
    seems like every day it's kill or be killed...
    with all this anger there is no time to inhale and progress
    and catch the smell of something that you once knew.
    have you ever stopped raised your face up to the sun and screamed
    let it out exhale the pain
    that strangulates your soul, when will I be free
    my lungs take in the fragrance of remorse, what is the cost, am I living,
    if you let your lungs fill up with pain then you will drown in your own regret.
    my arms feel so numb my heart palpitates missing a beat.
    the blood freezing in my veins. the taste of rust in my mouth.
    But today I just threw it all away
    though the light burns my eyes I will not be blind,
    if you blink you could miss so much. please don't ever close your eyes
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt
    ----
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

    Subterranean Homesick Alien


    The breath of the morning
    I keep forgetting.
    The smell of the warm summer air.

    I live in a town
    where you can't smell a thing,
    you watch your feet
    for cracks in the pavement.

    Up above
    aliens hover
    making home movies
    for the folks back home,

    of all these weird creatures
    who lock up their spirits,
    drill holes in themselves
    and live for their secrets.

    They're all uptight, uptight,
    uptight, uptight,
    uptight, uptight.

    I wish that they'd sweep down in a country lane,
    late at night when I'm driving.
    Take me on board their beautiful ship,
    show me the world as I'd love to see it.

    I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
    They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
    I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
    They'd shut me away.
    But I'd be alright, alright,
    I'd be alright,
    I'm alright.

    I'm just uptight, uptight,
    uptight, uptight,
    uptight, uptight,
    uptight, uptight,
    uptight.

    Sometimes I think I'm scared
    Sometimes I know
    I feel like making love
    Sometimes I don't
    I feel like letting go
    Maybe not
    I feel like giving up
    Is all we got

    Sometimes is all the time
    And never means maybe
    Sometimes is all the time
    Maybe

    And I'm moving on
    And I'm moving on (Sometimes I feel alone)
    And I'm moving on
    And I'm moving on

    Sometimes I make believe
    When we're alone
    Machines have taken hold
    Can you get me to a telephone
    It's just the little things
    You used to see
    Am I still that man who makes you who you want to be

    I never noticed
    How lovely were the aliens
    Lovely were the aliens
    I never noticed
    Lovely were the aliens
    Lovely were the aliens

    Right Side Of The Bed

    And I can see her now, dancing around, her drink in hand, all her baggage in tow.
    i just want to forget and let go of all the joy, all the pain.
    i took your guilt and placed it into me, and now i kiss it goodbye, our last dance ended fatally.
    Who's sleeping on my side of the bed tonight?
    Have you ever cried so hard? Baby you just died. And there she goes again, another masquerade in flase circumstance, she'll fuck you just for the taste.
    I just wish that i could replace all the memories of what makes my blood run cold,
    and as your blood flows through me, I say goodbye to what we had.
    She came and went , I gnawed through my lip, makeup smeared in her eyes, each sob is a reason to say goodbye.
    Sometimes when you’re holding on you'll never see the light.
    With flowers in her hair gazed upon with dead lovers eyes, she never looked so good
    and I never felt so right. I felt so wrong.
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt

    Who Died

    Who died in the systematic procress that we call life
    each indiscriminate event leading itself to the total destruction
    the total annihilation of the beauty and spark of mankinds history
    each failure is so symbolic of whats past and what yet left to be
    un-dead or am i reall dying
    whos to say that this is eternity
    devoid of serenity
    brings us closer to a label of hell
    here we go are all we all dead
    whats the stop, wheres the end
    whats the stop, where do i end
    save me from my sins
    save us from the demons within
    with another gone in this war to stay afloat
    in this turmoil known as daily life breaking human spirit
    lack of love abundance of dusgust
    whos dead am i dead
    what is death
    whose to say that this is life?
    Oh god the pain of the response
    no reaction or are we indifferent
    well whos will save us or are we already saved
    well whos to say we need to be saved anyway.
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt

    My Desire

    What I see, is it real
    Or just a stroke of my mind
    And no one sees what I feel
    She could be my fate once more
    The bright light in her eyes
    Could guide me through the darkest night
    And the strength, she radiates
    She must be one of my dreams
    I can't describe what I feel for her
    She is my incarnated phantasy
    She must be a descended angel
    Her seductive beauty makes me blind
    Days without her - days without the sun
    Like a desert without rain
    Like a rose without its scent
    My desire - someday passion
    My desire - someday depression
    She makes me feel, like I never did before
    In every second she's the one that I adore
    In lonely nights, I dream about her
    And everyday I miss her caress
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt

    Love and Seduction

    I feel this longing so strange and so bizarre
    Until I will find you I'll keep it in the dark
    A blaze bizarre burns in my heart
    Brighter than the flame of fear
    It feeds my wish to reach your love
    To touch you in our dreams
    When everything is withering
    You're still my bleeding rose
    And neither hate nor death can divide our love
    My mind writes serenades for you
    Like melodies of silence
    Your shadow is trembling when I
    Touch your skin and kiss your fear away
    It's not easy to conceal
    Fear with a masquerade of joy
    Tears from a bleeding rose
    Even purity can't wipe away
    Sharing both, pleasure and pain
    Sometimes passion is the same
    Addicted to emotion, love and seduction
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt

    Long, lost words whisper slowly to me,
    Still can't find what keeps me here.
    When all this time i've been so hollow inside,
    I know you're still there...

    Watching me, wanting me,
    I can feel you pull me down.
    Fearing you, loving you.
    I won't let you pull me down...

    Hunting you i can smell you... Alive.
    Your heart pounding in my head...

    Watching me, wanting me,
    I can feel you pull me down.
    Saving me, raping me.
    I won't let you pull me down...

    Pull me down
    You ask me to enter

    It is a pain to see the plague produced by apathy.
    To see you locked and bound, you plead. To see me grasp the key.
    Compassion is foreign while the tears of the broken lavish me.
    Souls in anguish die, and only hell they find.
    The truth to bring the peace they seek is haunting me.
    I'm haunted by the fact that I neglected every time you cried
    I'm haunted by the fact I concealed the truth you need inside.
    I'm the one to blame.
    Will I grasp the reality that my comfort has blessed the killing?
    My own eyes agree of my numbing to society around me.
    I can't take this; you're dying. While I watch you trying.
    Every breath you heave proclaims the rejection I've conceived.
    I'd hate to be the one that's not there when you cry in sorrow.
    I'd hate to be the one to watch you die tomorrow.
    I doubt that you are strong enough to
    survive forever, inside forever.
    I'd hate to be the one to watch you die.
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on

    Illusion

    The words left scars
    After they had silenced
    To see something grow
    Only to die away

    The illusion of you
    Always so intense
    Your absence of emotion
    The illusion of you

    Together with your kisses you dried away

    All these lonely times
    Gathered deep inside

    The illusion of you
    Always so intense
    Your absence of emotion
    Always so intense
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on

    This falling Veil

    I saw angels - fallen from the sky
    I saw immortals - afraid to die
    Time is just a moment in eternity
    But every dawn seems like the last one
    With silent cries my life is passing by
    Like echoes from the past that slowly fade
    If love is a lie, what is all for
    Remember every tear I've shed for you
    Still you deny what you feel for me
    Your eyes can't lie to me
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got

    Heart Laid Bare

    The love we share is infected
    A passion bittersweet
    Dissolving to the music
    A romantic act of tragedy
    Moan and sigh entwined
    Pale and sick and tired
    In violet light embedded
    Flowers greet the death of the loving

    There's a beauty never known before
    In this beauty we're deformed and sore

    See the pain of a heart laid bare
    In the strain of a heart laid bare

    Dream of death, presentiment
    Under a tragic sky
    I close my eyes and dream away
    To another year in another time
    Illusion veils the face
    Sleepwalkeyes of the loving
    Features in melancholy
    Flowers greet the death of the loving

    There's a beauty never known before
    In this beauty we're deformed and sore

    See the pain of a heart laid bare
    In the strain of a heart laid bare
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt

    this could go on forever...
    i'll end it now, its not helping anyway.

    i'll miss you always.


    Rachel, thanks for listening to my cryptic bits and pieces.

    Unseen, thanks for showing up with stories and words.

    I wish I could have followed/been what you guys wanted me to.
    Its not in me though.

    Love you both, remember.

    heya heya :)

    I was clipping this off the "under a tragic sky" line from the words above.

    Now, I'm thinking I should've gotten some Fun Lovin' Criminals... (it's you, it's you, it's always been you, it's always been in you...) But hey, you know what? We are what we are! 1/2 the living glory of getting old is (funnily enough)... NOT trying to change so much as learning how to stand up for ourselves. Warts and All (but that's another band, entirely... tee hee). But not just for ourselves, but for ourselves TO ourselves... we being our own worst critics and the like....

    You have been my friend when no one else could have possibly understood or appreciated what was going on. You've kept me sane when no other could. This goes way back now, doesn't it? Damn... can it be four years? Holy SMOKES. More than four! You put up with me going on and on and on and on and on and on and ON about myself and my life and my love and my X (even way back before he was my X).

    If you ever want to run away from all that... you and yours welcome here. And... just a side note... the desert is wonderful for a girl's hair... you can wear it straight or curly, lol... no worries on humidity or other such meteorological nuisances... rain... shit like that...

    So hey... just be kind to yourself. You're all you've got and life is too f'n short to go around bummin cuz you ain't something else. Like I said, I love you. And I wont ever forget yours, either.

    Peace, mi jita

    Rachel




    New Year's Day

    All is quiet on New Year's Day.
    A world in white gets underway.
    I want to be with you, be with you night and day.
    Nothing changes on New Year's Day.
    On New Year's Day.

    I... will be with you again.
    I... will be with you again.

    Under a blood-red sky
    A crowd has gathered in black and white
    Arms entwined, the chosen few
    The newspaper says, says
    Say it's true, it's true...
    And we can break through
    Though torn in two
    We can be one.

    I... I will begin again
    I... I will begin again.

    Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
    Oh, maybe the time is right.
    Oh, maybe tonight.
    I will be with you again.
    I will be with you again.

    And so we are told this is the golden age
    And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
    Though I want to be with you
    Be with you night and day
    Nothing changes
    On New Year's Day
    On New Year's Day
    On New Year's Day



    you know... lol.... in a totally platonic kinda be-with-you way ;)


    hugs
