Ten steps into another disaster.
Ten smiles that fade away faster.
Ten pieces of a heart to break.
Ten more reasons to hide the pain.
Ten songs we sing in the car.
Ten tears that fall too far.
Ten nights of perfect laughter .
Ten kisses that always come after.
Ten moments of paradise.
Ten little secrets in your eyes.
Ten cravings for your touch.
Ten fingers that are never enough.
Ten glances at your lips.
Ten seconds into your kiss.
Ten ways to say good night.
Ten more if you count a fight.
Ten memories that we will make.
Ten replacements for our mistakes.
Ten fantasies inside our heads.
Ten words never left unsaid.
Ten Ten Ten

A Song for the Broken
Turn your smile over to me.
I won't share it with anyone.
Like fingerless piano keys,
I'm longing for your touch.
Strum me like guitar strings
and sing your song for us.
Open your eyes for me again.
I won't reveal your secrets.
I'm all out of breath again
and screaming for your heart.
From the top of my empty lungs
and into your open arms.
Come back before I break.
I won't recover without you.
I'm here reaching for your face
and falling for your kiss.
The first step to my disaster
was loving you like this.
Fill your voice with melodies.
I won't forget to sing.
I'm everything when you're next to me
but I'm nothing all alone.
My life is like a music box
and you're the only song I know.
Read the diary of my life.
I won't leave out a single word.
With every promise that you find,
I hope you understand.
The only time I feel alive
is when I'm in your hands.
Sing the song of forever.
I won't take it for granted.
I'm just a box of old love letters.
I'm here for the memories.
Open me up for the smiles
and unfold the world for me.
Return the fire to my eyes.
I won't give in to darkness.
But if my heart still divides
and I can't make it through,
when it comes time to say good bye,
take my breath with you.
The worst thing we can say is good bye
I don't even want to say good night.
Let the words fall off your tongue
for the beaten and the broken
and the victims we've become.
We sing our song one last time.
Pray the dance goes on forever
and the music never dies.
I won't share it with anyone.
Like fingerless piano keys,
I'm longing for your touch.
Strum me like guitar strings
and sing your song for us.
Open your eyes for me again.
I won't reveal your secrets.
I'm all out of breath again
and screaming for your heart.
From the top of my empty lungs
and into your open arms.
Come back before I break.
I won't recover without you.
I'm here reaching for your face
and falling for your kiss.
The first step to my disaster
was loving you like this.
Fill your voice with melodies.

and the music never dies.
The Mascara Massacre
You wear a cross around your neck
but I see hell inside your smile
because hidden in the corners of your lips,
the devil waits to steal my grace.
Your eyes shine a beautiful brown
and your hair is dark as demon wings
Still I crumble to pieces in your presence
because my downfall is your face.
And I will fall again to my knees
because as evil as you are,
you're still heavenly to me.
You speak with a dark charisma
like an angel filled with malice
And you know the wickedness in your voice
just renders me free of breath.
You're a mascara massacre,
a cyanide kiss I have to taste
and now I'm lost in this twisted love
as your heart beats me to death.
Still falling, crashing to my knees
because as evil as you are,
you're still everything to me.
but I see hell inside your smile

The Corpse of Us
While sifting through the ashes of all my dreams
just like a beating heart torn apart at the seams
I saw you drowning in all the space between
our very first kiss to our very last scream.
You burn me up with the wicked souls
just like the hands you long to hold
or the blades you stain with blood so cold
you rip out the pages of a story untold.
In the back and through the heart,
I'm bleeding out your love.
Say good bye to alibis
Your knife wears my blood.
Send a hearse for my heart
a body bag for my trust
Bury all that remains of me
Burn yourself to dust
because there's nothing left of us.
Bury me in memory
There will never be a you and me
Bury me eternally
I'm as dead to you as I'll ever be.
Hold me down with all the weight of my mistakes
Just like an angel's eyes trapt in a traitor's face
another lie is born with every breath you take
and you hide inside the cracks of all the hearts you break.
Next to you I fall asleep keeping an open eye
just like an open coffin to see you one last time.
Innocent like a doll the moments you close your eyes
but deadly like a murderer the moment you come alive.
Around the neck and through the chest
Your love is bleeding through
As I die inside your eyes
The killer in me is you.
Dig a grave for my love
Fill a coffin with my hopes
In this haunted home we built
We've become the ghosts
with empty hearts and souls.
Bury me in memory
There will never be a you and me
Bury me eternally
I'm as dead to you as I'll ever be.
just like a beating heart torn apart at the seams
I saw you drowning in all the space between

In the Still of Starlight
Cryptic paragraphs she writes
Lyrics of a parasite
Hidden agenda lullabies
Folded notes of suicide,
but no one believes her.
Notebooks filled to the brim
With secrets of her suffering
Outside forever looking in
Through the glass of her own skin,
but no one ever sees her.
Endless pain she feels inside
She finds herself an exit sign
Running through the bluest lines
Mapping out her last good bye,
and no one's there to stop her.
Eyeliner black as night
The darkest heart with skin so white
She gives her body to the knife
Confessions in the moonlight,
but lifeless they will find her.
Pages of her bitterness
An open book of evidence
Through their tears, they think of this
The only chance they had but missed,
and no one will ever save her,
...but now, they finally see her.

Wasted Breath
Long before the memories of your face
were forgotten or replaced
Like the mascara tears that stain
and the open hearts you break
I took the blame
I crashed the gate
Into your life of drunken wounds
The shadow that was following you
My arms were your confessional
I fell in love with your truths
So vulnerable.
I protected you,
and I was holding on for dear life.
I guess we never know how dangerous a heart can be
Until it breaks and it's too late,
and chokes us with the memories.
We lost ourselves somewhere between
our wrinkled sheets and faded dreams
Like when you smile in your sleep
You're lying through your teeth
You wanted me to burn and bleed
to fix the glass of shattered years
Dripping like your pity tears
You hold me close but insincere
And stain my shirt with all your fears
I see it clear; there's trouble here
and I have to let go tonight.
I guess I should've know
When I started trusting you
With you lies, you compromised
All the love I felt for you.
I wasted breath on promises
to place you on that monument
A pedestal built with confidence
that cracked beneath your decadence
Your heartlessness, I suffered this
To pick you up off the ground
A pseudo princess with a crown
I'm stupid but I'm learning now
I helped you up to let me down
I'm breaking down; I hate the sound
And I have finally realized.
I guess I'll let you go
Leave you in the dust
With the fake, hearts that break
And forget what's left of us.

Mischief
Open hearts make open wounds.
Counting the seconds next to you.
Take these moments lost in time.
Organized or ostracized,
Be my doom, my gloom, my knife
Everything will be alright
Remember we are of the night.
Murder all my doubts for me
I am insecurity.
Stitch my flaws to your own
Can't be real, can't be known
Hold me in a death embrace
I need the kill, a ghostly gaze
Emanating from our mistakes, but
Finding solace inside your face, I just can't look away.

Conversations to Kisses - by Michelle Quinones
Our cars collide, sweet cyanide, the ink that intertwines.
Chaotic impulses I shall abide, as you undress me with your eyes.
Trace my lips with your fingertips, I'm drowning in your decadence.
Over coffee, words, and cigarettes, comparing scars without regrets.
Beautiful disaster, you're my perfect waste of time.
Every second locked in a memory,
Remedies of the mind.
