Truth and Lies
There are lies in truths
And truths in lies
The problem is working out which is which.

My First Heartbreak
Before:
Hey Molly! Guess what! I got a date today!
Ooooh, who?
Will Blood.
Later:
And when I saw you, kissing that girl, my heart, it shattered...
So I went to my wardrobe and threw away the colours,
Because wearing black looks mysterious but it didn't impress my mother.
My friends all said "Whatever, you'll find someone better and I heard she did some really nasty stuff, down at the park with Michael..."
But when I saw you, kissing that girl, my heart, it shattered...

Chocolate Kisses
I need chocolate kisses
But I need blood too
I like how you taste
Even when I don't bite you.

Dead Weight
You were a dead weight
Dragging me down
You cheated and lied to me
Even when I saw you with her
You denied it.
You smiled and I would come back, begging for more.
God, I was a masochist.
No more.
You are nothing to me now.
I will never look at you again.
I'm moving on.

I wrote this from experience

Winter Trees
Everything is so clear in winter
Thats why I love it so much
No leaves to hide the bleak beauty
All the world can see it
Nowhere to hide,
No secrets veiled by leaves
Just bare branches.
In summer, the trees hide
Under leafy dresses
And blush as Winter
Strips them of leafy dresses once again.

Dying
Life is a chaotic whirlpool
Death is peaceful
Its just the transition thats troublesome
In the end, everybody dies
So let yourself let go
And face the greatest mystery
You will ever know
With an open mind.
So when Death stretches out his hand
Go willingly
And in a dignified fashion.

Guilty Innocent I plead "Not Guilty"
I was drunk
I was mad
I was changing
It's not my fault...
He should have stayed away from me!
I knew I had done it
I had stabbed him
I remembered the blade sinking sickeningly deep into his stomach
His blood pulsing out
Across my hands
Instinctively, I raised them to my face
And licked them.
So I was guilty
So I was innocent.

this is a v. random one

Pain and Pleasure
Pain and pleasure
Go hand in hand
Forever linked
You cannot have one without the other
Pleasure and pain.
Pain and pleasure.
....Where have I heard that before?

Friendship
Someone once said that friends were people who walked in on your life when everybody else walks out.
Friends are special
Everlasting, eternal
Treasure every moment with your friends
Because you're a long time dead.

Knife
I looked at it
In my hand, graceful and shimmery
And wondered
Why so graceful?
An instrument of death, of blood and killing?
So sleek and beautiful?
Why is the easy path the darkest?
I walk in the light, yet my soul is in shadow, thinking such thoughts as this...

Parted and Joined in Poppies
So long and good night
My darling
My lover.
Where you have gone, I can't follow yet.
I'll join you soon
In the bloody poppy fields
Where snakes wind
And wolves howl to herald arrivals
An honour guard of wolves
For you, my sweet.
You, clad in blood red poppies.
I'll join you soon.
