A Poison Tree
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears,
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright,
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,–
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears,
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright,
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,–
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree
Choose Yourself This Time Instead
We all broke our rules for someone unkind,
Lust and pretty words can make you blind.
Sometimes echoes of past mistakes will slip beyond the dark line,
Do not cling to old memories while making new ones this time.
Begin to trust that your instincts will guide you true,
Decide to choose yourself instead of letting others choose you.
Don’t break her heart
Don’t break her heart.
I know she and I don’t talk anymore
and that she was fine with breaking me
to be with you.
But don’t break her for me.
I could never forgive myself.
Belong
Sometimes I feel I don’t belong
And wonder, is it me who’s wrong
Should I lie in order to change
Or would I rather seek revenge
Fight for my life and my true side
That’s been hiding so deep inside
Or just decide it’s not worth it
That maybe right, was the culprit
What is the path I should follow
For what to choose, I do not know
Hero or foe, what will I gain
For in the end, one shall remain
Cook The Liar
Did you think… that he meant
All the things… that he said
Do they replay… in your head
Did you fall… for the lies
Pulled the wool… over your eyes
Did you believe… it all
Dreams Die
Edward Schall
All your dreams like clouds so high,
My words are wind to help you fly,
For all the tears you’ve made me cry,
I came this far to watch you Die.
Devil Is A’Knocking
The devil is knocking’
cracking up whilst you’re talking
all your words are gettin’ slurred
too bad your pleas of mercy shall not be heard
You’ll pay for all the hurt
you’ll sink down in the dirt
“Curse you devil!”
down with you
down to the herd
of all the other evils hell bears
Beware Of Dog
I feel my teeth rattle loose in my skull.
Fingernails whittled down to rounded stems.
But evermore is the vile spew of rage from within me.
Although my incisors give way for your beating flesh
I still wrap my jaw around your gullet.
The feeling of your pulse on my tongue is elating.
Feel the way it rises and falls with every clench.
Like a beaten dog I gnash these blackened teeth.
Forever perpetuating the harm that has been done to me.
No Longer A Calm Sea, I Am Rage
In the beginning…
I remember that once I was a calm sea
I had always let others dictate how my life should be
But thanks to you, I’ve awakened to the harsh realities
That the only person who has my best interests at heart is me
You may run your mouth, spew your hatred behind my back
Your trivial nonsense will get no rise out of me
For I am now a wrathful storm hell bent on revenge
So I bring with me the power of lightning and thunder
And with the promise of never returning
I pull you under
Now that you see who I really am
Should you test my limits once again
That will be the last time you ever see the sun
Because I am the rage you created…
And I am done.
