Ghost of a GirlI close my eyes at night
and pray that I won't see your face,
at least until sunrise,
but dreaming offers no escape.

Sunlight pours from the blinds
and shines through all this dusty air.
A flood of floating diamonds
illuminates what you left stranded here.

Every hallway mirror
is a liar playing tricks in the light;
holding my thoughts captive,
conspiring to keep you in my sight.

The walls seem to whisper
every laugh and word that meant the world
to one lost little boy
fighting shadows with a ghost of a girl.

Time TurnerEvery little thought running through my little head
is a stream of consciousness dammed up.
The words all go unsaid.
As you pretend you don't like talking,
I'll Mr. Mime what I can't say.
Instead of moving forward, we'll rewind the pain away.
Holding hands on a clockface,
turning time counter-clockwise
'til Sleepless in Seattle becomes one more peaceful night
where we both dream of genies
with big smiles that show our teeth
and I don't have to wake and watch you count electric sheep.

Every little word whispered in my little ear
is another goddamn cliche,
but it's what I want to hear.
You just pretend it's not a problem.
I'll c

The Looking GlassI put all my thoughts down in scribbled pen and ink
so years from now and miles away they'll form a chain that links
all of my ideas into a tapestry
of all the names and places that bled and ran from me.

I've got books full of pages full of ink that never dries
forming my collection of self-indulgent lies.
I made myself a victim, I've got myself to blame.
Lost again in dreaming, nothing's really changed.

I welcomed in a monster and shared with them my bed.
"Above and below: equals", that was what we said.
Blood left on the contract where she made her mark:
a deal well-sealed with kisses and a knife-wound in the dark.

Ever

The AnniversaryPerhaps this is a mystery best left unsolved.
Please put Scoob and The Gang back behind your walls.
I'll just take these boxes and rebuild my fort,
then draw up the bridge 'cause I don't need support
-- and definitely not from you.

So lash out, then back down, then come up with fists.
You're crazy. It's over. Look, we were just kids.
So lash out, then back down, come swinging again.
There's no way in Hell that we can stay friends.

Maybe you should stop jumping, leave this princess unfound.
I'm not as worthwhile as you make me sound.
Just save all the memories that you keep so close
to the heart you put on paper between a

ShadowThe words I've always longed to hear,
a thought still ringing in my ears:
"she loves me."
The stillborn dream of kids too young,
but we're not fooling anyone;
there's no such thing.

Come, young Darkness, and take my hand;
wreak your havoc, and salt these lands.
I left you to become a man.
I've grown some since then,
now I understand.

She smiles at me and she's my Queen.
I know we'll outlast everything.
"Yes, I do."
She needed me, I needed her;
but was she real? I'm not so sure.
It's nothing new.

Run, young Princess, refuse my hand;
burn my bridges, and take a stand.
I thought you could be my woman,
but you've grown so dist

Utopia At SeaChart me a voyage
To an island in the sea.
I'll be alone there
On my island just for me.
I'll write my thoughts down,
figure out what I believe.

So raise a flag for me
and my utopia at sea.

I'm dropping anchor.
This is my new island home.
I'll set my house up
where the waves and thoughts can roam.
I'll find my bearings
and learn to love myself alone.

So raise a flag for me
and my utopia at sea.

I've got a lot on my mind;
so many answers I must find.
But I've got my paper,
and I've got my pen,
and I've got to find a way to redefine "sin".

So raise a flag for me
and my new cathedral by the sea.

It's very simple: just lines painted over a picture. I used some gradients ad textures afterward, but that's it.

The WIP pictures I posted in the description show what I painted in more detail, if you're still curious.
