Underneath this world
All faith has fallen
Decayed hope, this fear always creeping
Lying dead here in this dark, forever falling
Underneath this world
The stars have fallen
Decayed memories, return never-ending
The passage of time never healing
Underneath this world
The dusk has fallen
Decayed shadows, patterned obsessions spinning
They call to her in the darkness of her dreaming
Underneath this world
The night has fallen
Decayed elegance lies softly screaming
In the darkness she is drowning.
She can feel the shadows
Falling around her
Their sour sticky breathe
Soaking through her skin
As they fall through the darkness
Deep in her mind she turns for escape
Her body seizing under their weight
Her mind running further begins to take flight.
There she hides in the deep recesses of her mind
Lullaby’s and candy clouds dreaming
To cover the silence of her body screaming
The shadows angry stabbing
Brings her back to life
She must obey the darkness
On her knees
Begging for love and forgiveness
Dragging her down
Deeper under
The shadows sting
Across her face
She must swallow the darkness
Allow that shadows in
As far as they will go
Infecting the innocence
Under her skin
She can no longer hide
She’s along for the ride
They will play with her til dawn
When the morning light calls
Until then, she knows the pain will come
Blood falls, once again to the floor
To the darkness she begs
But the shadows still rule
Vicious and nasty
They tare at her dress
Deep into the skin
Once there they will rest
A little rag doll
She crawls to the light
They drag her back in
To start another flight
And once again her mind takes flight.
I decided that I wanted to die today
Leave this world and float away
I sat on the window ledge
Wrote a note to my mom and this is what it said:
Dear mama,
I cannot undo what I have done
I just don’t have the strength to run
Please do not blame yourself
There were no choices left
I could not fight the monsters in my head
And the shadow men just wont leave me in my bed
I’m sorry I could not stay
God ignored me when I would pray
Some people just aren’t meant to breathe
This is way I had to leave
Please mommy, please don’t cry
It was my choice I wanted to die.
Ill love you forever, please don’t forget
I left this life, with hope, not regret
Then I signed it with my name
signaling the end of this tragic game
I slide it under her bedroom door
and sat cross-legged on the floor.
Gently pulled my daddy’s gun to my head
closed my eyes tight, happy now im dead.
Today I will be five
Im little and alive
Tonight the shadows loving
Will separate me and the living
Today I will be six
A party with candy and tricks
Tonight I will be breathing
My body painfully screaming
Today I will be seven
I wish that I were in heaven
Tonight I will be pretending
The shadows are part of my dreaming
Today I will be eight
I wish I could stay up late
Tonight I know there coming
I can hear their merry singing
Today I will be nine
The blood falls in a funny line
Tonight I will be dying
I can hear the shadows crying
I thought I was going to die
When you left me here without the strength for goodbye
Should have known that something wasn’t right
When they stopped me seeing you
Locked you away in that tiny room
I thought there would be no end to my night
Waiting for you outside, watching the light in your window
Willing you to the door, but you never came
What was I suppose to do, you were mine
Early morning came and went
But there were no signs
Sitting there outside your door
Waiting for the sound of your cries
But all there was the man on the radio
Playing the songs that reminded me of you
I wanted to shout go ahead and look inside
But something stopped me in my mind
Days turned to nights and then someone came
Slowly she held me to her face,
Whispered slowly, its okay dear
But I knew it wasn’t I couldn’t leave without you
I ran to your door, you were there
Lying on the bed, cold, I tried
I tried to make you warm but I was too small
She took me by the hand and we left you on your own
I hope you weren’t scared mama
She said that god took you, but I saw you there
I miss you everyday I wanted to say goodbye
I didn’t even get to try.
Back her up against the wall
With her fingernails she claws
Weak wounded animal
She whimpers in the darkness
Her innocent eyes betrayed by fear
As she begins to shed a tear
She opens her mouth to pled
Her veins screaming in pain
Her mind racing
What if? Could she?
Escape
To late
The hunters see her
She crumples in fright
Her screams
Fade in to the night
Her strength betrayed
As they bind her
Teasing there pray
Rough skin
Smothering her flesh
Exposed
Humiliated
Bound with a collar and chain
They take there turn
Circus tricks
Dancing bears
Play the clown
In circles she turns
Beg like a dog on the ground
Whip her and beat her
Whip and thrash her
Blind she dances
Forcing her to the floor
The make her beg for more
I need you
I want you
I love you she whispers
Obeying their commands
She complies with their demands
The fire burns
As the warmth of her blood
Meets her skin
The damage is done
She knows it’s to late to run
There’s something wrong with her in her head
The voices scream and she wishes she were dead
She doesn’t want to be this way
But she cant breath she has nothing to say
She never asked for this
The craziness, her life, this is all there is?
She’s been fighting them her whole life
Kicking and screaming and cutting herself with a knife
They **** her and ***** her and took her soul
And now everything around is nothing but cold
She wishes and wishes that it was a different way
But she has no control over what they do or say
She drinks her poison morning noon and night
Praying for the day she would give up the fight
Her pride is strong and makes her stay
But her strength is tired and doesn’t want to play
She’s angry with herself for letting them do what they did
The memories play, round and round dirty and sordid
Living in a world where no one sees
Only in crimson rivers does she believe.
So in this world she continues to exist
Surrounded by depression, clouded in a mist
Lost in a limbo, between happiness and death
Determined to survive
But to dead to be alive
