when evergreen fades to brown
(i can't breathe without you now)
and sultry mist crosses arid hills
(the less it aches the more it kills)
the sting is bitter after it's sweet
(our hearts prove to be discrete)
like the energy to force a smile
(has been depleting for a while)
after you say we're over and done
(you used to tell me i'm the one)
you leave, and i leave the world behind
(but still it haunts my tattered mind)
your smile was bright but now it's gone
(and I meant nothing all along)
you said we needed to take the time
(but your lips proved it all a lie)
now some other foolish lover

There is a quiet blood that seeps
from the corners of my atria that
you are missing from.
I had four chambers wide yet
i could not hold you in one
you wanted to erase the line of your lips
from mine.
Torn from you it's a wonder
how these alveoli still do move
in not moving with the rhythm
of your breath (it wasn't enough--)
inhibition kept my lips sealed
but now i cry out for your touch
expectations had me reeled
but now have left me dry.
Do you think of me? I
am terrified it's not so
are you happier, are you
better off without me?
Please say no, no, (no!)
I never knew how much
I'd need you (I need you),

When he looked up at him he felt himself freeze, every drop of blood that coursed so vigorously through his veins coming to a sudden halt, the very breath from his lips pause, words lost on his tongue. It was very unlike him to be the one paralyzed in another's gazeusually the roles were reversed, eyes locked on him in fear as he brought the blade of his bone saw closer to their necks. But there was something distinctly different about this situation, the Medic noting that his muscles were arrested not in horror, but in an apprehensive excitement. And when his breath remembered him under the gaze of those pale blue orbs he felt a grea

There was once a chance I did not take
There was once a chance I did not take
Once a blank headline on the gazette
Once I spun the chambers in its roulette
There'd always a grip I could not break.
There was twice a woman that I loved
Twice another reeled her in before I
So twice the blade took away their life
But twice spilt blood was not enough.
There was thrice a prison that I escaped
Thrice a time I had to change my name
Thrice I was forced to take the blame
And thrice framers' bodies limply draped.
There was never a moment I did forget
How I never held her under the stars
How I never erased these mental scars
And always cleaned my gun with regret.
sickly sweet his muttered breath
stinking of rain and rum
nicotine that stuck to his sweat
and monsters between his lips
they start to slip--
casualties of carcinogens
sand paper made of tired skin
peeled away
sliced off
cut in
slipped away
--addictions forgotten how to stay
their sweet poison the only company
and bittersweet, missed opportunities
and how you've slipp

"Scout."
Spy knocked on the door again, but there was only silence. He let out an impatient sigh.
"I know you are in zere," he stated. "Please. I can explain."
"Fuck off," he barely heard the muffled voice speak.
"All right, fine zen," Spy said with a shrug. "Let's do zis the hard way." From his coat pocket he pulled out a paper clip, which he unbent and used to pick the lock in quick precision.
"You are not ze only one who knows how to pick a lock," he said.
"Wait, you knew...?" Scout looked up at him.
"Did you honestly think you could trick me, of all people? The next morning with a bottle missing and ze door unlocked, it is p
