Hold me
Bind me
Unwind the strands of sanity right before my eyes.
Hold back my pleading with lace ties.
Screaming for someone to come.
Praying for a new days’ sun.
Wash away this dark pain.
I swear to you that I am sane.
The scars you see are from the night
From a demon I can not fight.
He proves to me that I am weak.
Disrupting, causing restless sleep.
I can not fight. I can not hide.
I’m chained forever to his side.
Bound by blood, lust and hate.
Teardrops fall on chains of fate.
The difficulties of poetry have never touched my finger tips.
The words pour so easily to the paper
Dripping off the tongue, crimson candy cut and flowing.
These ideas just won’t stop coming.
My mind races with thoughts new and old.
Pictures form and turn to sound
The words melt to touch and the race goes on.
Emotions call, gripping tight
Tugging loose curls.
My head aches, a gentle throb.
To write a whole paragraph or cut the letters short
It’s my whim, my decision.
Such power to be mine.
Cast a deathly spell to hypnotize my prey.
Sway and sooth, calm lullaby in your ear as I strike a bite
Fangs pierce skin, cool-aid crash.
My mind soars and stumbles to a new path.
Rhyme by purpose or accident
It matters not.
Mind the I and the other two as well.
Black spikes, flat color drains your face
Pull the plug and your gone, just a puddle left over.
Mush and mold, disgusting thoughts.
Green poison, blue is cooler and a natural too.
Help! I’m lost! The maze continues
Around each corner a new train to ride, smash to shrapnel.
Circles, triangles, pentagons and more!
The tracks link ever on, leading me to abyss.
Afterlife seems so close.
Cold hands reach to touch but only brush the silky cloth
So cool and soft, welcome in, enjoy the stay
But will these train wrecks die as well?
Black lace and red satin flows without end.
The shadows crawl and writhe in protest.
Tap, wrap, suicide survivor.
It’s a fun trick to play if you know the game.
Play with me, shuffle and walk slow too.
To easily ended, the calls cut short.
Drip again, a window pane is dry today.
Bang and scream, make some noise.
Prove you’re alive any way you can.
Bleeding is never enough anymore.
Crying proves you’re human, the race is dead.
The finish line so close too! Within reach but just a bit too far.
To trip before the finish and know everyone saw it
This is the way we end.
Call a friend and rant, chant, score.
Night brings peace to those who sleep.
Forever me calls my mind to come back
Lost voice amongst the walls.
It never makes sense anymore, just a mumble above the rest.
Crack my skull softly, spilling letters to the floor.
Alphabets with blood, metallic taste for breakfast.
Make it stop! I’m in too deep.
No tricks work anymore, I’ve wandered too far this time.
So sit for a quick break, shake.
Words splashing off the split ends drop.
Close eyes and see.
Within the maze I live knowing the exit is too far but just in reach.
Finger tips brush the edge, reaching for what’s lost
Pain subsides…
Giving up I pull back with this jumbled mess
To decode for people, to decipher for minds.
Maybe not this time.
Words twist and bend, stand tall and squat.
Happy Wanderings to the Lost.
I greet and cheat in such simple ways.
Hazy eyes catch small hints
Invisible to your seeing spots.
Perhaps it’s best this way.
Inside I cool and clear well known.
The way is locked and you haven’t a key.
I watch you there
Sit
Stare
In that chair
Do you see
What’s hurting you
It’s killing me
A reflection of painted tears
Tends to fade over years
I won’t protect you
Not anymore
I’m done practicing the daily chore
You life I can no longer hold
This world is cold
This world is cruel
So I have become too
Don’t you cry, not to me
You created this monster you now see
Your helplessness is so evident now my dear
Yours truly, the reflection in the mirror.
You would think people would flock
To the sounds of a scream.
But you’re wrong.
It’s not like when there’s a fire
Or some other disaster
And a crowd walks up slowly.
Like zombies they are.
No, not like that.
Sure, if you shout out in a hall some will turn
Out of curiosity.
But what of care?
I know,
I know they flee from a real scream.
You could try it.
Stand out somewhere
Let the vibrations tear at your throat till it burns
And your breath shudders
You might be lucky
(Or unlucky as it were)
And someone may come
But not a crowd.
And you know more then that heard your calling and crying.
But where are they?”
It could be fear that holds them back,
Behind the yellow flowered curtains.
Or maybe they have the volume up to the max
Drowning out your pleas for help.
Or even some may not believe you are really in danger,
Or in need of help.
(They are not entirely wrong)
Some may even assume others will step in.
You claim you would rush to see
And help a scream
But will you?
Just remember this,
The next time your throat itches to strike that sound.
Remember how little a scream does anymore.
How little it means.
Secrets scream in cold white ink
It pours so perfectly
Unlike the stabbing agonizing way that you cling to me
I’d kill myself before I’d let you have me dear.
This riddle is my lie.
How can you turn your face away when it’s your blood that I cry?
I could not vomit up enough love for you
I dare you, demand more from me.
One day I’ll tear my eyes out and listen in peace as you scream.
I’m not the cold one laughing,
Laughing in my heart spun grave.
If this cut be not my last breath I’ll curse you endlessly.
Why can’t you just bury me out?
We both already know
I see you dreaming it while I drown in heat.
This death you’ve planned since birth.
So quickly love
I dare you dear
Kill me softly
If you can.
I will be the final test.
Kill me softly
Kill me sweet
Lover die listening to my peaceful screams.
I’d like to stay a secret, like walking in the dark… if no one can see me, then no one can break my heart.
I die a little inside, I die a little out. These pieces just keep falling and I can’t find my way out.
Don’t call me over for lunch or ask me out to tea. My soul belongs to darkness and you can not rescue me.
You wonder how I live, surviving every day. Alone up in my room the sky is always grey.
Do not try to find me, we can never be. If you will do a single thing, please don’t rescue me.
My eyes have grown to darkness and the sun, it burns my skin. The ways of the world of light I can never see again.
But don’t worry sweet love, not all is lost. For in the twilight hours is when we may talk.
If it’s words you desire then I will give. But do not expect more of me dear one, this is how I live.
I am the whispers in the night, the shadows on your wall. Do not seek to find me and please, please, most of all.
Do not get me rescued. I have sold my soul to night and can no longer love my angel. I have given up my fight.
So live a life for two and do not seek me out. This part of you, you must let go if you’re to figure out.
The meaning hidden in the stars and every moon lit bloom. If we don’t accept our tragic fate we will succumb to doom.
If I slipped from this dream
And out of your open arms
Where would I land my love?
Surely not in your heart,
For it is never there
Or in my own beating life source
Because you’ve stolen that as well.
But something small and oh so blue,
A crystalline drop meant only for you.
That tear is my cage,
Falling forgotten to the dust,
And all that’s left of me is salty tear crust.
I’ll wait here forever if I really must.
I’ll wait here for you to burn all my trust.
Here I stay patient until I need move.
The silver in hand will polish the grove.
I’ve planned it so perfect and you will agree.
Smiling stained face lights up the TV.
Passerby’s shriek as death fills the air.
Of their reactions, I really don’t care.
I will wait forever in my suicide hall.
Dressed as a princess attending a ball.
My crown is of ice, just like your heart.
The tree tops bend over to form perfect arch.
The stream underneath will trickle with glee
As it fills with warm liquid dripping from me.
I’ll lay down to rest on that one lonely stone.
Waiting so perfectly to die here alone.
Poke prick stick
Fingers quick
Thread the eye
Buzz of fly
Pulling tight
Afraid of flight
Push back through
Straight and true
Stitch by stitch
Cut and switch
Hours pass
Made to last
Done the end
Show a friend
Fingers rest
I passed the test.
The pieces run together like beads on a string.
Each makes up the whole but are solitary things.
Each time of day’s a scene and places are the stage.
It varies now and then but is usually the same.
The classes are a mini world and the hallways separate too.
The company’s my fellow actors who never have a clue.
I break it down scene by scene and line them in a row.
The pattern going on and on, it always seems to grow.
And shuffling them I seem to find a simpletons mistake.
Yet here I spy a few bad days to make my record shake.
Orders, pairs, patterns, lines always seem defined.
How can I step out of my self restricting lines?
Turning things around is no problem I have.
Especially when things are looking pretty drab.
But also I seem to find myself repeating once again.
It’s like this masquerade has become my only friend.
It’s the only truth I seem to find in my dreary days.
Sometimes life just passes me by in a misty haze.
I get bored some days with this endless routine.
As if my life has become a bloodthirsty fiend.
It controls my daily life. I’m a puppet on his string.
His sharpened smile greets me in every morning.
Leading me around, he finds a simple task.
I do as he wishes, without thinking to ask.
Trapped inside my own world I’ve created a monster.
But there is no hero waiting for the chance to stir.
I’ve gone too far this time to come out again.
It seems to me this round I have lost to the demon.
I’ll let go this time and crash reality.
The feeling sinking in like the sting of a bee.
Slowly it spreads up to my limbs and my thoughts.
Succumbing to the feeling my breath remains caught.
The waters droplets form underneath my eyes.
How could I have buried myself in so many lies?
Then as soon as it comes it’s gone in a flash.
Only leaving burning cheeks and the taste of ash.
Back I slip so brainlessly to this adults play.
Forcing out my smile for just another day.
There’s a secret world behind the glass.
Which few see and fewer ask.
What is behind the looking glass?
Mirror, mirror on shattered wall?
Life is not fair at all.
I have seen this world of sharpened sand.
And if you truly which to know
Ask.
I can not tell but only show.
The secrets of the world below.
So if you truly wish to know
I will pull and push. Strain and train
So you may find your world, of sharpened sand
Beneath the sky above the ground.
Touch the sounds in your world.
Your secret world behind the glass.
Through which I can not pass.
I look at you and know
I’ll never understand
But is it still wrong
To want to hold your hand?
To see a pain like this
And just walk on by
Just attempting this
And I begin to cry.
This Pisces girl can see
Through your stern green eyes
And I read between
Your every single lie
You push me back so hard
But not enough to hurt
I’m only thinking of
The way your mind works
I know that you are trying
To still protect me
Is that why you can’t see
It’s my help that you need.
Seeking it subconsciously
I know you will deny
But trust me on this matter
That heartbeat never lies.
It’s cry is so much louder
Then you can admit
Such a sound I don’t think
I ever will forget
So let me come a little close
And touch a bit of pain
I can not help you if
You keep treating me this way.
Let down that wall of sand
I promise it’s alright
Seeing you so calm
Is just a charming sight
I’ll heal you from the inside out
It’s the least that I can do.
Some say that you don’t have a heart.
I say, you now have two.
Heaven, Hell, the wings are torn
Look down on me with vengeful scorn
Bat like feathers do not exist
As proven by the slashed up wrists
Tears are ash and but blood still red
The whispering demons circle my head
Telling me what lies beyond
Twisting me in their devil song
Of paradise I get one last glance
Wondering if I stood a chance
Blacken flames leave cursed scars
Maybe the choice is never ours.
I’m standing at the frozen gates
Golden lights between the grates
Heavens shine lights up my tears
Illuminating all my fears
In my hand a one way pass
Telling me this breath’s my last
Taking one last step it’s my turn to die
I just wish I could have said good bye.
Whispers on the wind call to me
“Why are you saddened little angel?”
Looking up to the sun in tears
I watch the tension build and snap over years
It hurts to watch it end
To know I’ll continue on
Please don’t leave me here
Too soon you will be gone
I’ll watch your eyes close
Hold you to me tight
The tears are bound to flow
And I’ll hurt myself again
Please don’t leave me alone
Take me where you go
My years are just a prison
And no one has a key
I hurt too much to cry
It’s almost turned me numb
But then I find someone who cares
Who wipes my eyes.
They invite me into the light
And I’m drawn in like a moth
Only to be burnt again
Again, it happens over and over
I just want this all to end.
Call it a gift for it can’t be revenge
You’re not the one that pushed me over the edge.
I’ll eat your thoughts starting with that scream
Digest living flesh and vomit up dreams.
I turned to a demon unwillingly
But deny that’s what you wanted of me.
I don’t want your soul, it’s bitter, un-sweet.
Even after you’re dead it won’t be defeat.
You’ll torment me even after you’re gone
All that is left is a sullen dead song.
You made me do this. Me, you did curse.
Spoken in silence and so little words.
A hypnotized dreamer, an angel un-spun.
This is precisely what I have become.
Cry for me dear, as I burn your last bone.
Cry for me now, cause you’ve left me alone.
Although your hands were nailed to my floor.
Your soul went and flew right out the door.
It whispered black sickness into my head.
So now I’ll consume you until I am dead.
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
Had a baby born still cold
She raised it till ‘twas nine days old.
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
Calling you is not a game
For your wrath is like your name.
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
I call you here within this mirror
I call you without any fear.
Bloody Mary,
Bloody Mary,
Bloody Mary...
Bending over side ways in a twisted bow
Muting secrets I’d never tell yet I fear you know.
Kill me twice to seal and learn the lesson taught
Matters plagued and plundered into unconscious thought.
I’ll forever fear me but strangely never you
I’d rather kill myself then believe it could be true.
Test me into tormented dreams from which I’ll never wake.
For it to ever work, my life I’d have to take.
