Cast the First Stone

I don't want to believe
Everyone's guilty, but
No one's exactly
Innocent

Who hasn't lied?
Who hasn't cheated?
Who hasn't stolen?
Who hasn't hated?

Who's never surrendered,
Given in to desire?
Who holds no regrets,
Never wanted to take
Something back?

Who's never felt
The raging fire
Of Wrath,
Our Anger?
Who's never drowned
In the waters
Of Sorrow,
Despair?
Who's never felt
The frigid winds
Of solitude?

Is there innocence?
Are there innocents?
Do we only dream of better?
Can I hope?
Should I hope?

WTF

You laugh at me
Point and laugh
But quickly shut up
And pose innocent
When I come near
If you're going to mock,
Ridicule me,
At least do it in my face
Or stop acting like I never saw you
Because you can't hide in the light
Do you laugh at me
To make yourself feel better?
Are you so insecure
That you have to put me down
So you can rise up?
I posed no threat to you
And yet you attack me
Is it because you hate
That you're living a lie,
That you're plastic, fake,
And can't stand in the sun
Lest you melt?
At least have some integrity
Some responsibility
To account for your own actions
But I guess that's rare these days
I have done nothing to you
Save for this
But this is reasonable
Retaliate to retaliation with retaliation
Or so the world goes...

Unforgiven

Don't pity me Father
I don't deserve it
Don't look at me, Father,
I'm no son
I've done something
So horrible
I can't possible be forgiven
I doubt mercy can save me now
Don't believe in me Father,
I'll only let you down
Don't worry about me, Father,
I'm not your son
The guilt is killing me
I've found no comfort
I've fallen too far from grace
Down is the only way left
I'll leave you
I'm sorry
So very sorry
But I know it's not enough

Don't Want to Forget Her

I don't ever want to forget her
So I'll dedicate this words
Record my memory
Tears are only temporary
But the sadness lingers
And the heart begins to heal
Slowly but surely
I have my pictures
Of her face
Of those eyes
That I could drown in
Of her smile
That made me smile
Without fail
But I wish I could hear her laughter again
So contagious
I wish her wings
Of white feathers
So she can fly all she wants
Feel the wind beneath her
Touch the clouds
Stare at the sun...

Numb

The cold sets in
And my limbs numb
But it feels so comforting
So familiar
To not feel anything, anymore
I wish my heart could numb
So it could break
It could shatter
Into thousands of million of pieces
And I wouldn't feel a thing
I could bleed my heart out
And I wouldn't notice,
Wouldn't flinch
Would it be best
To be numb?
