i live in truth, complacently. where’s the threat you see in me? am i the cause of your self consciousness? you scream at me ’cause i can’t ignore the destructiveness that you support, ’cause my life’s contrary to yours. no soft words from my mouth. a glazed look in your eyes. i live in the [...]
submission- my back hurts from bowing down. attraction – was once so strong now can’t be found. affection – one gift i wish you would return. frustration – as i accede. i do not deserve your frigidness, such callousness, yet i persist. what’s wrong with me? i told you “you can’t be replaced”, you showed [...]
they’re coming round again. i’ve returned and they’ve been waiting. their aged offerings received and returned, passed through wet eyes. i tremble as i feel them rolling in for, my sins, the old ghosts know. so chilling as i feel them mourn within my soul. as the mourning grows. unfold before me. turn back the [...]
where were you? say you were gone? well, ask me and i’ll swear you were there all along. another place? another state? at any rate, i can’t relate. there’s no two ways, you’re a disgrace. drown down your fear, suffocate every spark of clarity. your weakness: sickens me, saddens me, strengthens me. there’s no way [...]
drowned in flames is where i can be found, my nose broke from being smashed into the ground. what a waste, this place i call my home. escape this place and break out on my own! i’m still reaching. try to slap me down, but i’ll still hold. in the fray is where i can [...]
let’s admire the pattern forming. murderous filigree. i’m caught in the twising of the vine. go ascend with ivy, climbing. ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling behind. i can’t help my laughter as she cries. my soul brings tears to angelic eyes. let’s amend the classic story, close it so beautifully, i’ll let [...]
we are the ones with the radiating eyes. we are the ones who have a fire inside. we are the ones only we can recognize. we’ve been rejected (we’ve been rejected)- suffered the ignorance, suffered the selfishness, been pushed so far down now comes our time to surface. turn from the light, that made them [...]
so quickly draining away. if you could only hear all the things you used to say. consumed now by what you knew was poisonous, quenching your thirst for life (for life.) will you die for me? will you live for me? kill aspirations away. embrace a dream that was a nightmare only yesterday. true friends [...]
open my eyes as i submerge and i won’t deny what i’ve been since birth. i’ll die drowned by your standards. breathe in the life of the summer’s death as the orange and red breathe their first breath, so welcome as they’re burning through. we all begin to burn. autumn’s flame dances in my eyes. [...]
through our bleeding we are one! through the darkness breaks the light. through the light unending pain. deify the wretched ones. till the darkness comes again.
oh my god! my god this can’t be happening! god tell me, tell me this isn’t real! i can’t believe all that i have foreseen is finally happening. i cannot for a single second stand the way i feel. i always knew. i always saw it coming. enveloped now, encased by my worst fear. i’ve [...]
it burns! it burns! it burns my eyes and throat, but i need no antidote. gnawing and tearing at my insides – seething, keeping me alive – hatred poisons me through and through – a sustenance – keeping me true. it’s not too late. it’s never gonna be too late. embrace your hate. the pain! [...]
can you feel the pulse? can you feel the heat rising from below? can you feel the energy gaining strength, oh so slowly? but i’ll wait…i’ll wait…till the seasons change. i’ll wait…i’ll wait… till the fall comes. and i’ll give you a mirthless laugh. can you see the signs? can you see the changing of [...]
lean against the night and laugh as i try to scale the walls. ignored futility fills the air. you’re only there to watch me fall……if only pure sweetness was offered, why’s this bitter taste left in my mouth? if i could catch my breath, just to exhale, i’d know that i held it in too [...]
welcome the whole new pain and take comfort in all you’ve become. i waved as i passed myself along the way. i have arrived so unashamed, but my reflection no longer looks the same. it seems much dimmer now…..it seems so dim. just stumble and fall into a world that’s overcrowded. and you will find [...]
what went down on the side of the road? what i saw at the edge of the see. only those elements time cannot wear, and they follow. what seeped out throught the cracks in time, what sucks out the color in me? what awaits beyond infinity? beyond and to all time i stand what blew [...]
i’ve seen the light that emanates from you, and it makes me feel proud, a voice of reason above the muffling crowds. such will to live and you’ve got so much to give, long lost sincerity. lost in a world that’s been scorched to black. lost in myself until i finally find. a guide in [...]
do you understand what i’m trying to say? have you ever felt? have you ever felt this way? tainted with rage you can’t drain away or it will cost you your life. i couldn’t care more. do you ever absorb what shouldn’t be touched? have you ever cared? ever cared this much? do you think [...]
i’ve been dreaming. i was lucid. i was dreaming blood was seeping from my pores. who’d believe that it was all my own decision? cracked faces and medicated smiles. set fire to my home before i turned and walked back in. for every needle open my chest and insert ten pins. i just anticipate what [...]
no haven now as i watch it pour from everywhere, just like the storm that has come out of thin air. gentle caresses, just as paper thin – frail and only – lack the strength to hold. what i could go to sleep for days. would you count the hours, or would your restlessness consume [...]
