Stops My Heart

The smoke that leaves your lips
Stops my heart.
It eats my mind.
It consumes my thoughts.


The venom you spew
Stops my heart.
It spreads through my body.
It prickles my skin.



The lies you sling
Stop my heart.
They block my air.
They clog my veins.


The way you look at me
Stops my heart.
It chokes my words.
It forces my eyes open.


The love you steal from me
Stops my heart.
It stops my heart.
You stop my heart. 

The Blurry Page

Staring at the blurry page, 
I don't know what to write.
I feel no motivation now, 
But I'll write just in spite.


I'll tell a tale of dragons
Knights, and Quests, and Blood.
Or a tale of Romance:
A woman and her stud.


Do you want to hear of mystery?
A man in a tall cloak?
The Cowboys and the Indians
Disappeared in a puff of smoke. 


A princess who needs saving
Helps a boy become a man.
A villain is defeated, 
They stopped his evil plan.


Listening to silence, 
I don't know what to write.
I'm feeling rather sleepy now.
For now I'll just sit tight. 

Hate and Love are Fire and Ice.

Love can not be defined in passing.

Some think it is rather quaint.

They don't understand the bigger picture:

That your heart- It will easily taint.

Hate has a larger significance

Than what we try and give it.

There is a deeper, darker part

One can't always acquit.

Hate and love are fire and Ice. 

As different as different can be.

One is happy, the other sad:

Wouldn't you agree?

But that is not the case.

They're closer than you think.

Go too far one way, there you are! 

They actually interlink.

Love and Hate take so much effort

To truly do them well.

You deserve so little from me.

Apathy is all I'll dispel.

Beauty

Beauty is formed through the loss of perfection.
So why do you cover your face?
That pimple, that blemish, that scratch and the scar
Are charm no blush can replace.


Forget about the magazines,
They use computers and lies.
I much prefer the light of the moon
And the reflection in your eyes.


Your beauty is found in your smile.
Your grace is in your heart.
There's so much more in this world
Plus it doesn't hurt you're smart.


Embrace your idiosyncrasies.
Embrace your "faults" and "flaws."
God made you with a special plan.
Good things: you'll be the cause. 


Beauty is found in the loss of perfection,
But maybe not in your case.
For you were perfect in my eyes
Before you covered your face.
