Social Network

Naked and abused

Going nowhere fast

A picture a day

Giving Instagram your last 

Signing your soul away

For pay per day 

Shaking your assets

For dividends 

Calling everyone your best friend 

Every "like" makes you feel closer

But just not close enough 

And no one 

Quite knows 

What you're searching for 

Commenting on your beauty 

Even when your smile is broken

Your eyes are puffy 

And your face is red

But just a few filters deep

And there you find it 

Buried deep

Deeper than you ever imagined 

Your self esteem

Lost in a hopeless upload 

Searching for love and acceptance 

Hoping everyday 

That maybe...

...just maybe 

This virtual world 

Will unfold

Birth tangible lovers

Dangle them from strings

Allowing you to pick them off as you please 

Yet the day never comes 

And more clothes come off 

With every upload 

Queen (To Be Continued)

I can't say why your eyes pierce into my soul 

Or why my heart flutters when you speak

Even if my words don't marry my actions 

My inner being is easily excited by your presence

I may not love the way I anger you

Or how sad I've seen you get

But the smile and gazes you give

I can't fathom a Queen more radiant 

No one has ever held my attention the way you have 

Even glancing at others is a bore 

To stare at you 

Or feel your touch 

Takes me to highs I can't explain

(to be continued) 

Queen (Lay Down Your Bones)

Lay down your bones my Queen

And let me tend to your soul

Heal open wounds 

And dust off your crown

Even the wisest

Fall short

I'm not the wisest

I'm not the best 

But I know I've stabbed your heart

When I was only trying to 

Penetrate it 

Adorn it with my soul

But my selfish ways scorned your beautiful soul

Even though the war is over

The calm is here 

Lay down your bones

Let me cleanse you 

Rebuild you 

Uplift you 

Fill you with love 

Never to betray you again

Honor your body from the outside in

Let me heal the scars I've caused 

You have my deepest apologies 

Queen

I love you to the end of this earth and back 

You're my forever love

...even the wisest

Fall short
