Metal and rusted with age You set me out on the balcony You light the candle in my heart Cars are whizzing by below us I think you're crying but I can't see My face is pointed outwards My windows grow hot with flame You're warming your fingers on each pane The nighttime threatens to swallow us Let me be your light in the dark A lantern to have and to hold Not to guide you but to be beside you Let me be your light

Little girl Worthless little girl Sneering at the world because she was told to Little girl With little hands Tried to bruise her knuckles on the others Little girl With mature form Had her face laughed in by a younger girl Little girl Biting her lips Hasn't been little for five years Little girl Makes her threats Is ignored and laughed at forever

On nights when I sit in bed and stare at the digital clock When I hit delete and rid the sentence of all I meant to say Unbidden, tears well up behind closed eyelids for no reason The city seems so quiet at night, but it's certainly at its brightest I watch the multicolored lights dance through midnight to the coming dawn I pour myself another drink and light up a smoke to watch, two habits I never wanted Watching life seems so much easier than imitating it Observing makes for a wonderful story, but hesitating rids you of your own Out of shame I hit delete and rid the sentence of all I meant to say When I say I'm going to sleep and then to

When we were young We gathered pine needles in the backyard We pretended we were gathering wheat We had our own little world When we were young You'd drink nothing but chocolate milk Dad would pretend to put hot sauce in it Because we both loved how cute you were when you yelled Last week We found your stash of pills You were so neat and organized like always You knew just what to do, to go on your way Last week I noticed just in time You left to heal and the skies opened up I let the rain do the crying for me When we first met You looked perfect and prim and proper I never knew you'd look back at me When you did my heart leaped up and s

Honey gold and blushed with pink--a cooling poison nice to drink Lift the bottle to my nose with soft grim delight Breathe in the scent of a love affair and a housewife's plight I want to taste the memories that were so long ago weaved within Every moment where she traced the glass with a finger and grinned I can taste it from the scent of her breath and a goodnight kiss On the forehead of a little girl oblivious to her drunken bliss If I sip this now and sup my potion with secret tact Would anyone notice the self control that I lacked? Might I ponder the grip of such a vice better if I knew it's delights? Just one sip now, not too much

Brave warrior god Allow me to tread behind you Walk in your footsteps and carry your blade Father teach me What true sacrifice is Teach me the ways of justice and war Fierce sky lord Let me kneel before you Please accept me as I am and make me strong One handed king Bind the wolves of my dreams Make a warrior out of me so I might make right Great law upholder Aid me when I protect the weak Help me seek out injustice and make it fair Powerful high one I offer you my blade and strength I shall follow you in battle and follow you in law
