"Garden of Nails In a Bed of Roses"
The brutal dance
Of keeping life in a trance
An elegance
With each painful step
Driving the nails deeper
With such a grotesque snap
Yet, you keep a smile
Almost as if painted
Onto your tortured face
But I can see the tears
Running down
Your weathered cheeks
Showing me that true beauty
Only comes
From heartbreak
And defeat
For only roses grow
In your shadow's golden glow
Death is Art... TeePublic.. More designs...

"We Were Both Pretending"
The feelings we shared
Were fake from the beginning
We used each other
Until we got what we needed
Leaving black holes
Where our hearts once were
"Masks We Wear"
Being nice to a stranger
Or a smile for a friend
Hiding away the monster
We all have within
Eating away
At our subconscious minds
Hoping one day
We'll finally let them win
"Tea Party"
'I wish you were a girl'
Is what his mother said
'Put a gun to your head'
That's what he thought she said
'Put on the dress'
His reflection screamed
He picked up a gun instead
Eyes red
Tears bled
A bullet in his head
'Why didn't you love me?'
That's what his note read
"Tea Party, pt. 2"
'Why did you come here?'
Her question rang
As cold as the snow
On their son's grave
He didn't answer
He just blankly stared
At the name
They had to engrave
Then without even a word
The gun was in his hand
'I love you'
He whispered
'You will never be alone again'
The words danced
From his lips
With an elegant twist
Before he kissed the stone
He lifted the gun to his head
But shot his wife instead
Painting the snow a crimson red
Then without a second thought
All he saw was black
