december 23, 2023 — holy
it was easier to believe
in tales of adam and eve
even though i could never find
the god they said was so kind
i'd grown used to it all
the gentle hoax the church befalled
a blind-faith religion or a cult of sacrifice
either way, it served only to pacify
so when you spoke the illicit truth
that you loved me despite my being a sleuth
you forgave the sins that were not mine to repent
and every dime, for you i'd spent
you showed me the truth of love
and it felt holier than any angel from above

march 29, 2024 — not enough
the shower i took tonight was cold
thought of the words you said the other day
the way you said it still makes me fold
you felt what i did, had no more to say
i don't like thinking about it much
easily makes me cry and such
i know the years are good enough
but you know you can't blame me for not acting tough
and i'd like to teach this one day
making the most of something means
you'll never get enough of it
so bittersweet feeling this way
you're always gonna miss every little bit
and i hope that in another reality
we'd never have to live through calamity
palms could breathe without fatality
and you'd smile without the distance i see

november 7, 2024 — love of mine
you know i'd love to stay the same
you know there's nothing left to say
neither of us stand at fault
yet this is the price we pay
maybe in another life
we wouldn't have this strife
free from the guilt
and yearnings fullfilled
you deserve someone who'll stay
through the good and the bad
and i'm sorry it couldn't be me
despite what we had
but i deserve someone too
to make the long run with me
not run me through
happy to love all i'm yet to be
no, you don't need me
if you did, i would not have scars
no, you aren't sorry
if you were, i wouldn't have to count
i think it's time to face our truth
heal and forgive what remains of our youth
yes, i loved you
but no love of mine will heal you

april 1, 2024 — luna
oh, luna, tell me so
do you love me enough to let me go?
if you're the moon and i'm the sun
don't you think i'm better off alone?
oh, luna, i'm not the only star you'll find
rigil's brighter and toliman's one of a kind
being good is different from perfect
don't settle, consider every aspect
when i said you were the best thing to happen to me
i actually meant that only you ever stole my need to be free
oh, luna, i hope you'll understand
that going with you is to forget me
but being me won't stop my heart
from knowing we were written in the stars
and how i loved you from the start
always and forever, from here and afar

december 15, 2024 — she-doom
she's a gift from god, she's gifted with a future
she loves science and doesn't understand how to feel heard
she'll love without reason and betray her own slaughter
and she'll always hate being compared to her own father
but time will always tell, it's a curse of mankind
to make the same mistakes and watch it rewind
but she's a woman so maybe life will spare mercy
she doesn't yet know adam is His favorite progeny
and if you ever forget why you had her
she'll cry herself to sleep at night and harbor the same laughter
cause she's the one who bears your burdens and seeks your contentment
and she's born of your love and grown on your resentment
no matter what she does, shes trapped
inescapable are your hands that attacked
growing old to find comfort in men that touch
in states of her mind she refutes to such
she'll end up like you, scared and alone
gleaming knife in skin and bone
or maybe a rope and chair to a ceiling of stone
and she'll always miss the warmth of home
