Set Me Alight Burn me with your fire, Heal me with your touch, You're all that I desire, Never wanted anyone so much, Lost in your embrace, Your heart beating next to mine, As you trace my face, Somehow I find you so divine, Lose me in the pyre, Freeze me to the bone, As long as you admire, And I am not alone, My heart escapes from me, It thumps in urgency, Doesn't want to pay the fee, When you no longer love me, Cast me to the fire, Burn me to the core, Leave me in the pyre, I long for death evermore.

Electronic Façade If the computer could look back at me, I wonder just what it would see, Would it grimace, gawp or gasp? Be horrified at a gormless mask? If the computer could talk with me, I wonder just how it would speak, In binary or numerals? Robotically or human-esque? If the computer could walk with me, I wonder just how it would move, Jerkily and slow? Gracefully and swift? If the computer had a personality, I wonder just how it would be, Someone kind and friendly? Different or akin to me? If the computer could blink and breathe, I wonder just how it would be, Full of truth and honesty? Staring up so innocently? If the computer could speak and see, Walk and breathe alongside me, How would we ever know, Who was human, Who wasn't so? To think this came into existence purely because my brother shouted "The computer is staring at me!"

White Lies Look me in the eyes, Tell me all we had was lies, I know this isn't smart, There's a target round my heart, Look me in the eyes, Tell me all we had was lies, You crumple and fall, Resolve broken after all, Look me in the eyes, Tell me all we had was lies, Enclosed in my safe arms, I'll keep you from harm, Look me in the eyes, I can see your little lies, Tell me the truth, I just need a little proof, You say, "I love you, That's why I've got to go." I say, "I love you, That's why I've got to follow."

Within Don't trust me, Because I'm just not what I seem, I'm broken inside, Lost a hold on my sanity, Can't just be glossed over, Hidden in a corner, When my mind snaps in two, Maybe I'll come for you, I look healthy, I act fine, There's nothing wrong, It's all a lie, The outside doesn't reflect within, It's keeping my lies safe, What a terrible sin, When I implode you'll know the truth, A knife through my chest, Leave me to rest, Put a bullet through my head, I'd rather be dead. I'm a time bomb, Listen for the ticking, Even I don't know when I'll go off, I just know it won't be pretty, Implosion of my mind, Explosion of my heart, It was all there from the start, A catastrophe within.

Frost Bite Snow, Surrounds, Cold, Ground, Tears, Freezing now, Blood, Slowing down, Once pure and clean, Now tainted red, Ruby snow, My #life has bled, Broken limbs, Tattered skin, Frayed and battered, Mind and body fractured, Eerie howls, Growing sounds, Feral beauty, Of the creatures who will finish me, Snowflakes fall, Covering scars, Hiding torment, Flurry of white, My body more ice than fire, My cries more animal than human, My blood more black than red, My heart less alive and more dead, That mournful melody, Taunting and lamenting me, A song of eternal sorrow, Keening for a lost tomorrow, Scarlet snow, Red tongues, Crimson hands, Dead pulse. Inspired by the line 'red tongues and hands' in a song - though can't remember what song.
