The Rhymes in My Mind

• Dark Angel
• High-fashion Clowning
• Clock on the Counter
• Butterfly Kisses
• Scared
• Compass
• Pandora Box
• Wrong Number: Bee right back
• Seek and Find
• Bogus Utopia
• Cut Me Down
• Optical Shower
• Greenhouse
• Cocoon vs. Core
• Message in a Bottle

Scribble of Riddles

• Happy New Tear
• No Vacancy for Crazy
• High Chair
• Victim Chant
• Whip It

Puppets strung up with deception
Dancing to a staged perception
Stumbling and twisting for the lead
Playbills listing all that will bleed

Out came the first stone
Not wanting to dangle alone
In a coma I missed our only chance
Or maybe just a delusional trance

The shadow of my relationship
A constant blip trying to make it flip
Making your presence known, but never wanting to own
Misreading your tone, not realizing I would end up alone

Laid out on trail for all to see
Love lost, lies spread, questions stoning me
My heart exposed as ruby red
Beating like I had washed up dead

A candle burned the flame of shame
Only that glimmer gave it a name
Altering the mood in every room
Residue of accusations dripped with doom

Smolder remains of the shadow I made
With each breath it will some day fade
Never meant to burn and destroy
Now we know love isn't a toy

No encore for this tragedy
The strings were just imaginary
No hand above to animate me
Only one to set me free
