Difference?

Touch my skin

Feel its bumps

Tear me apart

Feel my insides with your tongue

Rip me apart

Separate my skin from my skull

Switch it with yours

I bet it fits so snug

So what is the difference between you and I

Our skin might be different but we both have eyes

Liar

Liar you liar

You promised

I promised

How could you

How would you

Squeeze my heart

Now there's blood on your hands

I reach for a knife

While you start throwing cans

'Til death do us part I say under my breath

I'll love you even whatevers after death

Candy

I suck you like candy

I drink your lies like brandy

Dissolve under my tongue

Stop your struggling for I've already won

Fall apart for all I care

Melt until nothing but sweet goo is there

Candy doesn't last long in my mouth

My teeth crush it 'til there's nothing left

I kick the chair and struggle to breathe

Ah finally

Sweet release

Burn the Witch

I'm tied

I cannot move

I beg for mercy though I already know my fate

I feel the heat spread above my feet

This is my punishment

May god forgive me

May god forgive them

They hate not knowing the possibilities

I was a healer but they saw me as death

Burning me will release the plague found in all human hearts

hate

Unsafe Sex

You kiss my neck

You reveal my body to your light

Tell me I'm the only one

Then I figured out I was one of some

I felt dirty and unclean

How could a soul be so mean

So cold

I miss being warm

I should of been safe

I should of noticed his lies

Flower Petal

You're beautiful

One of a kind

You float with a kiss from the sky

Finding a new destination

and blessing those whom you come across

But you can't say for long I know

I wish you could stay forever

But I can't be selfish

Good luck on your journey

And thank you for coming
