Before the living comes the dead,
Hiding in the dark,
Their souls live on,
Deep into the night,
Consulting with the live,
But once lying still forever,
After the eighth bell has struck,
You shall see them no more,
Their jobs done,
Before the living they bow.

-KittyKat

Inside every secret sits a lie,
Within that lie is hatred,
Beneath that hatred is the truth,
And in that truth is the key,
The key to the world,
That in every single thing,
There sits a strand of love.

-KittyKat

Like ice are diamonds, with their silver tinge,
Like diamonds are eyes, with there glowing sparkle,
So hidden are you, with your key locked away,
So like you, am I, with my thoughts locked away,
True are the stars, their pattern glued,
True is the sun with its path, forever changing,
Yet something is different, something changing,
That thing may change for eternity,
Yet the things that stay the same don't matter,
Its the things that change you should love

-KittyKat

I don’t want your help
I tell you every time
And still you offer your hand
Hold it out for me
And so I open my wings
And try again to fly

I fall back to the ground
Wings flapping pitifully
Getting me nowhere.
And again you stare at me,
Holding out your hand,
Begging me to take it

I leap away in tears,
Eyes prickling as I go again
And once more I fall
Down to the cold hard,
The harshness of reality
Bitter on my tongue

You stand calmly over me
Your eyes so soft and…
And yet I fling myself away
Running and jumping
Embracing the sky
With wings that just won’t fly

I find you standing over me
Offering your hand yet again
Begging me to let you help
But you can’t help me

I don’t want your help
I tell you every time
And still you offer your hand
Hold it out for me
And so I open my wings
And try again to fly

Why can’t you see it?
I’m a fallen angel
I can never go back.
This is how I'll always be
Embracing the sky
With wings that just won’t fly


-Calypso

Amber eyes sparkle,
Blue eyes sparkle
Brown eyes sparkle,
Golden eyes sparkle,
Green eyes sparkle,
Hazel eyes sparkle,
All eyes sparkle,
But no eyes can ever sparkle,
Like your eyes sparkled.

-KittyKat

Do you know how long
I’ve been waiting for you?
What I’ve given up
Just to be with you now
And forever

If I spoke the truth to you
Would you even be able to tell?
Or are you simply to far gone
To hear my woeful cries
For you

And as with all your
Damn beautiful failures
Will you destroy me?
Rip me apart for merely being
Here

The truth is easy to speak
But can you say it?
Please just say it once to me
And then I’ll know
The truth

Looking down into the sea
Boiling with the turmoil of love,
Screaming for you to come.
I just want for me to hold you
Forever

Do you know how long
I’ve been waiting for you?
What I’ve given up
Just to be with you now
And forever

If I spoke the truth to you
Would you even be able to tell?
Or are you simply to far gone
To hear my woeful cries
For you

And as with all your
Damn beautiful failures
Will you destroy me?
Rip me apart for merely being
Here

The truth is easy to speak
But can you say it?
Please just say it once to me
And then I’ll know
The truth


-Calypso

I can’t do this anymore.
Pretending to be something
That I know I’ll never be.
And now you know where
I’ll be

You said ‘No more lies’
No more worthless words
Whispered under our breath.
In the middle of the night
Alone

Do you really love me?
Or did you break your promise
Did you lie to me?
You said you’d stay with me
Forever

The truth is easy to speak
But can you say it?
Please just say it once to me
And then I’ll know
The truth

I’m so tired of living
Here in this cold darkness.
Standing here, waiting
For you to just admit it
But now…

I can’t do this anymore.
Pretending to be something
That I know I’ll never be.
And now you know where
I’ll be

You said ‘No more lies’
No more worthless words
Whispered under our breath.
In the middle of the night
Alone

Do you really love me?
Or did you break your promise
Did you lie to me?
You said you’d stay with me
Forever

The truth is easy to speak
But can you say it?
Please just say it once to me
And then I’ll know
The truth


-Calypso

Fly my friend, fly away,Climb your mountain,Fly my sweet bird, fly away,Discover your purpose unknown,
Why do you not leave, my friend,
Escape I plea,
Why does my sweet rabbit not run?
Find a way out,
Be careful my friend, whilst you leave,
Don't go to fast.
Be careful my brother, whilst you leave,
Please don't rush,
Stay with me, don't go,
Be with me in my need,
Why do you my soul not stay,
Please do not abandon me!
You all have left me empty,
Alone,
Nobody here,
While my cloud collapses,
You leave me stranded.

-KittyKat

Dancing on the moonlit floor,
Dances that dancer,
As pure as silken robes,
So silky is that dancer,
Hovering like an angel,
Like so floats the dancer,
Enhanced by the starlight
Is that lone dancer,
Destroyed by the sunlight,
Like that she disappears,
The angel of the night,
Is as clean as a kitten,
As delicate as a membrane,
Is the lone dancer.

-KittyKat

The breeze, golden, sky high sits the breeze,
The corn, brown, tinted with yellow, grows tall does the corn,
The chair, oaken cream, so low sits the chair,
The ribbon, Pink, stirred in with black, lies still does the ribbon,

I'm begging you Josie, come inside!
Its lunch time, says Papa, his voice of chaos,
Please won't you Papa, push me on my swing!
Its so pretty out here, says Josie, her voice of sugar,

Please Josie, come inside! I'm off to work in a minute, and your Mama's desperate for you to have a nap,
I'm begging you Papa, I'm almost seven, I don't need a nap and you can't go to work on a Sunday,
I'm begging you Papa,

Josie No come inside! Your tiring me with this chatter, come inside!
I have to cook lunch, please just come,
You don't care Papa! You only want to be rich,
Please Papa I'm begging you!

The breeze, golden, sky high sits the breeze,
The corn, brown, tinted with yellow, grows tall does the corn,
The chair, oaken cream, so low sits the chair,
The ribbon, Pink, stirred in with black, lies still does the ribbon,

Papa! Come back!
I'll do anything!
I'm begging you Papa!
COME INSIDE!

Inside the oak cottage, Papa sat snoring, No sign of lunch, no sign of work,
Josie left the house and ran down the lane,
When her Papa woke up, His daughter was gone.

He grabbed his coat, and ran down the lane to were young Josie lay,
Here life left behind,
Dead on the ground,
Please no! Called her Papa, tears streaming,
For all he could think were his daughters last words,
I'm begging you Papa!


-KittyKat

Alone, I sit,
Nobody to hold me,
To catch my tears of silver,

My sorrow, mixed in with despair,
Locked up with a golden brass key,
Filtered through truth,
Polluted with lies.


-KittyKat

The secret hides, it hides away,
In darkness hides your secret, all demons staying away,
You beg me to hide it, to remove the lock,
Find that catch, to let it drop,
Just look inside your heart,
Discover beautiful words,
If you never see beauty in yourself, you will never see true beauty at all,
No one can find, No one can tell.
Your secrets safe with me.
You can't leave this world, from within this cell,
Look around, see the world,
The world that you used to see,
Look at me, I've come so far, so have you,
Just look around, please for me, Look inside your heart,
Discover beautiful words,
Don't be afraid,
Your secrets safe with me,
Don't hide away,
The demons have gone.

-KittyKat

You can turn away, and never see another day,
Don't hide you secretes, keep them them locked away,
Because you might never see, see another day,
Look inside your heart,
Discover beautiful words,
If you never see beauty in yourself, you will never see true beauty at all,
No one can find, No one can tell.
Your secrets safe with me,
The demons have gone,
They've gone away,
Come back again,
Find the way.
The path of truth,
The secrets all in one day.

-KittyKat
