Pain and despair,
the sea of darkness.
The dark sea surrounds us all.
Hope and joy, the light we naturally seek.
To live for light or darkness
is to live an unfulfilled life.... stare

Watching as I'm Dead
As I watch,
Those I love fall apart...
Their hearts break,
Their trust falls to pieces...
What can I do?
I try to help,
But I just make it worse...
To see them suffer like this,
It kills me inside....
I don't know what to do anymore,
All I can do is sit and watch it all happen...
I know it's wrong,
To not help those you love...
But I just make things worse,
So I'll just sit here and watch...
My heart will break,
And so the others will lose all trust for people...
They'll move on after a while,
Their hearts still scared...
While I sit in the dark,
My heart dead,
Along with my will to live...

Lost Inside

No one is here, to help me through this...
I am all alone
I am lost
I have no true place

Please someone save me
Save me from this pain and rage
Take me home, take me away from here
Just tell me ill be fine
Tell me its fine to cry

Save me from myself
Just dont make me talk about it
Keeping all of my feelings locked away for so long
I dont know what to do
Just shut the H*** up
Butt out of my buisness you idiotic preps

Please someone save me
Save me from this pain and rage
Take me home, take me away from here
Just tell me ill be fine
Tell me its fine to cry

Ill keep up the charade
Ill lie straight through my teeth
Youll ask whats wrong and ill lie to you all
You dont know this feeling
When everynight is a sleepless one
When youre haunted by memories of a life long ago

Please someone save me
Save me from this pain and rage
Take me home, take me away from here
Just tell me ill be fine
Tell me its fine to cry

I try to find my place again
Try to find everything ive left behind
Of a life long ago
That never will be her again

Please someone save me
Save me from this pain and rage
Take me home, take me away from here
Just tell me its fine
Tell me its fine to cry

Just save me from myself
Im so lost inside
Im so lost inside
Im so lost inside...

A sacred heredity, a lust for blood crawling to the floor,
Echo's of screams and slices breaking the endless silence,
The killed the last one, they're hunting,
My mind is the power against their strength,

They'll break my frail bady if they reach me,
I'm struggling to keep my body moving forward,
The steps of their horses are behind me,
Don't stop... don't stop... don't st...

A branch came before my path, and i fell before it,
They caught kup to me, lifted me by the back of my neck,
I didn't struggle, I was powerless to their strength,
They drew all of thier weapons and came toward me,

They began to slash me,
With every whip, chain, and blade in their possession,
My infinate screams echoed through the endless silence,
My body now breaking, My soul tainted, shattered,

You stumbled upon my frail, blood covered body,
A state of mixed feelings, sadness, anger, cume over you,
Your sword gripped tight in your strong stance,
You took in the sweet scent of my blood, which had been spilled,

Brought forth; Shalt thou avenge thy death

Like a dead rose
half buried in the ground -
your life, which
has not flowered, comes
to this sad end...

Had I not known
that you were dead already
I would have mourned
your loss of life....

So curse your fate as I do mine,
for I will live for eternity.....

Black Roses


taste of blood
where is the love?
O god why
you know she tries . . .
to see the best in him
caters to his every whim
he hits her again
knocks her down when . . .
she tries to stand
but despite that she loves her man
he raped her last night
after their fight
sometimes she fears for her life
but . . . she's still his wife
the kicks and the curses are a great price to pay
but what she'd give for ysterday
when he didn't drink
and the kids didn't think
that she was weak
she begins to weep
her nose breaks and blood seeps
she gasps for air
he pulls her up by her hair
black roses bloom before her eyes
his face she sees before she dies.

~Swallowed~

I remember how innocent we were,
Running through the leaves,
Climbing every tree
How could we not know how small,
we are only?
We were so limited,
but we still saw
life in a rose.

We are strapped to this time
With sticky fingers, it found
Sepia photographs,
but dropped the key, somehow
I take a second glance
but something's missing
Swallowed
In the tiger's girth.

I pull, my arms raw and thin
Dim shades with out armor
to hold me in my haven.
Pressing tears away
now, slowly stained red.
Broken, with no calling
Silent, with no tool.

In this masquerade
True intentions lay
in shade
Curtains locked in place
So I cannot be found
My eyes are speared
Like cat's
afraid
nobody will read me
they are themselves
Only.

Your whispers sing
messaging my thoughts
curling ends
creating lies.
I reached for security
Too close to the flame
I was burned.
I'll douse you, repress you
clip you away.
the shadow of my being
I'll paint you black,
the creature in the mist
In the big picture, we don't see
but we know
the true power
of inner daemons, and us,
Lost.

I remember how innocent we were
counting ever cloud
catching every dream
Oblivious to the ball and chain
Our feet wet with dew
now blood,
but we still run.

We find new worlds
Our fingers runny with sap
We cling to ghosts
that haunt our hearts
but shine with color
Finally.

[aside]Anyone have a suggestion for the title? I'm lost.[/aside]
------------------------------------------

We had talked for some time,
and the time was right,
so we decided to cut class
and sneak out that night.

We went to... "the mall" in Menlo -
or, at least, that's what we said.
We parked in its lot, but we went
over to the hospital instead.

Abandoned and in shambles,
where once the loonies stayed.
Hand in hand, we found the place
for our vow to be made.

The parking lot was strewn
with instruments from inside,
but in we went anyway -
Curiosity can't be denied.

In one room, we found a bed
where once someone did lay,
in pristine order.
Perfect... we rolled it away.

Down the hall and out the door
we took the patient's bed.
All we wanted in those days
was to mess with someone's head.

So we locked the gurney's wheels
in the center of the lot
and we strew linens to the door,
tied in a thousand knots.

When we were done, he took my hand,
for the wind bit to the bone.
We stood vigil and we swore our love
at at the altar of our own.

Years have passed, the makeup gone,
and pain far from our thoughts.
We read we had freaked out some guy
in a magazine we bought.

Seems our high school gurney spree
has stood the test of time.
So, likewise, nevermore remove
this, thy hand from mine.


------------------------------------------

So, I read an article in Weird NJ about this abandoned mental hospital in Menlo Park (in New Jersey). There's a "tell us your supernatural experiences" section, mostly filled with bullshit, but some of it is really freaky. So, this guy wrote in that he went to the abandoned mental hospital, and found the parking lot strewn with debris "like a hurricane hit", all rusty and broken, except for this one, pristine-condition gurney in the middle of it all. He said something along the lines of "it was so strange seeing this white gurney in the middle of all the destroyed IVs and everything... there were white sheets, it looked like someone had tied all the sheets in a line from the bowels of this hospital out to the gurney, and they were all ripped up and ghostly from the weather. It was deathly quiet, and the whole thing looked like the demons and ghosts of this hospital were trying to draw me in to their inner sanctum or something."

So I decided to have fun with it... besides it being a class assignment. (the poem is for a literary magazine, so the backstory will be printed with it.)

No, I have never been there, but I would like to. It's always been a fantasy of mine to do something like the couple in my poem do...

this ones called dismember
i awake in a state of confusion
a serious dillusion required
a series of illutions uninspired
that help me remember
how i was dismembered by the embers
in a time when
nothing was fine
and everything was mine

What do you think of this one. It's a rough draft of course but here goes:
DARKNESS
The darkness fills my eyes
as the sound of screams and torcher
morph together.
The pain becoming more and more
unbarable,
until I cannot stand it any longer.
I watch the blood
trickle down my arm
and onto the floor.
I think of you
and what you've done.
What am I doing?
What have I lost?
I love you
but now it's too late.
As I struggle for breath
and to keep you in my mind.
I fall into a deep
endless sleep.

Dreams
Dreams fill my head
and leak out my heart
They're everywhere
And I dont know where to start
To go through each one
to pick out whats real
I dont know what to think
Dont know what to feel.
These dreams they're so odd
they poke at my soul
they tell me these things
when to stop when to go
But hey, they're just dreams
which don't turn out real
So its easier
to ignore the whole deal
