ARTIFICIAL

Artificial

angry, is my poetry
my rhymes, ne-ver complete
lashing, out against him
as i, call in the fleet

why, does he go back
to a girl, he does not deserve
he, broke her heart once
in pieces, it was served

i, am ready to
just, get up and fight
over, this one girls heart
show off, power and might

angry, i turn to wolf
in face, of the big full moon
emotions, begin to swirl
crea-ting a typhoon

i now pick up a piece
of her shattered heart
hold it in my hand
as i'm tearing him apart

blood is turned to ink
as i spread, it across this page
reveal, my bloodstained claws
as i make, the world my stage

he, tries to win her back
close, but no cigar
he, still has her heart
but this, won't get him far

it's the, actions he takes
which will, define his course
wea-ther her heart will break
love is, a powerful force

but can, she overcome
e-motions towards him
save, herself the tears
remove, artificial grin

all, this just for him
smile, for so long faked
this girl's heart was de-li-cate
just, like a snowflake

but, on this one day
he, turned up the heat
evaporated love
reducing, it to sleet

now it's nothing more
than, just a cold rain
able, to hide her tears
but obv-ious is her pain

i, know how she feels
i, can look past the lies
in, the form of smiles
within, the twilight

now, tears come from me
as i, see her heart crack
shat-tering apart
and forming holes form black

once, again tick tock
time, just passes by
with, some feelings
that can-not be denied

but, will she go back
this, will be his fourth shot
fired, in the dark
from, a heart outfought

but ulti-mate-ly
the choice, comes down to her
weather, she stays with him
or finds, a guy she deserves

but just, like i said
the, choice is not mine
i love her to death
but that, won't stop decline

in my final words
things, get heated up
a story, to be continued
but for now, just be starstruck

SOLDIER GIRL

Soldier Girl

soldier defined by her claws, warrior woman with a cause

in this house and through the streets, all she does is make a beat

for the kids and all to hear, under smile, she sheds tears

Soldier Girl, he did you wrong, baby trust me, come along

soldier defined by her claws, warrior woman with a cause

lives by sword, struck down by grins, all of this because of him

slick smile, with blade at side, turn your back, no-one sees lies

hidden behind all their backs, his head turned, begins attack

soldier defined by her claws, warrior woman with a cause

she always struggles to fight, not in bron, but in hearts might

he is outweighed by a ton, Soldier Girl has grabbed her gun

but she points it at her head, why not shoot at him instead

soldier defined by her claws, warrior woman with a cause

you see Soldier Girl wears mask, her shield to keep away gas

but lately it's sprung a leak, inside neuro-toxins seep

she panics, what can she do, to expel this deadly brew

soldier defined by her claws, warrior woman with a cause

every word meta-for-ic, time passes, clock goes tick tick

pulls that gun away from head, survived abuse, won't end dead

now the barrel points towards him, tables turned, destroyed is grin

soldier defined by her claws, warrior woman with a cause

after so long, she cares not, conse-quences, past that thought

pulls the trigger, bang bang gone, last moment he knows what's wrong

as the bullet enters head, he realizes what's been said

soldier defined by her claws, warrior woman with a cause

she stands, stolen is his grin, a bloodspot she wipes from chin

empty gun, tosses to ground, final shot was one big sound

revolution in new world, bang bang so begin the swirls

soldier defined by her claws, warrior woman with a cause

she did not have much to say, her breaking point slapped away

now she reaches end of life, escaped his grip but grabs knife

slit her throat with single blade, last impression he has made

soldier defined by her claws, warrior woman with a cause

as i slow down this here beat, soldier crashes from her feet

one last word for all to hear, this world is consumed by fear

please enjoy it while it lasts, keep in mind Soldier's in past.....

REGRETS

Regrets

my tears stream
as i reflect on the past
an ocean has been wept
for one moment, so fast

memories are so clear
hell i remember his glare
she stood against the wall
terror in her stare

i walked onto the stairs
but she dare not twitch
still against the wall
held back by that bitch

this was my chance
i could have stopped it there
but it was not my place
to interrupt this pair

how much i regret
now one year in the past
something i could have stopped
if courage had been massed

i just walked away
leaving her to be bruised
crying against that wall
with a boyfriend who abused

i love her to death
she is now my best friend
but he's left her with scars
which she cannot mend

when someone gets close
she just pulls away
her fear often returns
with a look of fray

now even to this day
tears still come to my eyes
i can feel her pain
and emotions she cries

we are one in the same
this is our bond
i only care about
something which is so fond

she is my little sis
she is my heart and soul
she is my fucking world
but in my heart remain holes

each a black spot
for every time he touched her
something i could have stopped
had i not been deterred

now my heart is in pieces
how could have i left her behind
pinned against that wall
alone and in a bind

everyday how i wish
i could turn back the clock
just go back in time
and take away her shock

but this cannot be done
forever will my head swirl
everlasting are my regrets
in this infinite world
