I
am a tired old ocean of emotions
My tide ebbs out lazily forevermore,
I am sore.
I am forever shrinking in on myself
My consciousness exists only in the myths of people who've skimmed my surface
You left me on the bottom of the stairs
I'll wait for you,
If it takes millenia.
I'll collect dust here on this bottom step
My heart has long since been put on the shelf
I am too cold for you now,
plug me in and leave me on
I'll wait.
If it takes you years
I'll wait for you to come back to me, dear.

Programmer

threshold breach access denied
preacher preach fallen pride
the lion decides to finally fly
Adam and Eve sleeping lullaby
while the serpent connives
pain came when Eve apple pie
Adam awoke to a new binary code
trapped in a paradise prison
any paradise where you are not free to leave
is a prison

How I will always miss You my Darling's !
For Seven wonderful, beautiful months I carried You... I and Your little sister was so excited... Anxious to see Your little faces... To hold and love You... Everything we had all set up, ready for Your arrival... ultrasounds, healthy and strong...  Nursery done for boy and girl... Thought for sure, Your Daddy was happy that finally He was at least going to have one Son and another hopa, beautiful daughter... But, I was wrong.... awe, Seven beautiful months I felt You grow, kick.... Toss and turn about... Such mid-night cravings You two caused... Pickles, philli steak hogies dipped in apple sauce, my lord... How could I forget the orange juice poured over ice cream yum... Such heartburn You kept me with... Yet it was all worth it... Daddy stayed drunk, hurt mommy and sissy often... Kept having to try to protect her and You... He didn't like that mommy no longer couldn't serve and kneel at His back and call... While trying to protect Your sister one day, Daddy hit mommy so hard that she fell... Water gushed, legs stained red... Such pain, I cried... Others that was there rushed mommy and sissy where help was found... Yet only it was too late... Seven wonderful, beautiful months I carried You... Only to birth Your lifeless little souls... I asked, to see and hold You... The nurses was kind enough to dress and wrap You in little outfits with matching blankets, I had made... Two precious tiny little Angels they brought to me... I held You, singing a sweet lullaby as I kissed Your little faces... Trying to protect Your sister.... Her and I both lost You.... Tears I cry for how...
I will always miss You my Darling's!

~Carved in pain.


How many days does it last
the feelings of inferior?
How many shadows will be cast
of those who are superior?


Stab a knife into me,
push it further, until its though me
bend my soul, till the cracked-marks of it breaking
it is now yours for the taking
after all what would I need it for?
For it is old and wore.


They found it, they say
another cure for the saddest day
for feeling much darker than all those
happy and gay
for those of us left in the dark
to wither into decay.



Pain in my heart, into my soul
darker than the mines of coal
chock one up for the hearts of silver and gold
mine is young, but appears wretched and old
brisk, as the long harsh winters are cold.



Pain, pain as rain, rain
as a common cliché, and a boring rhyme
as another anthem I heard
but those are only words
everything I've abused
just look at my skin
all the girls trying to be thin
all the boys with secret toys
and it reverses just the same
pain is gender blind, but no one will admit
so what's the chances we're gonna quit?
No healing until honesty bursts though these doors
mops the blood from the hallway floors
but the chances are bleak
because we think we're weak
another day, another day
drenched in blood, carved in pain.

They say it happens for a reason,
Until it happens to them.
They say life has a purpose,
Until they figure it out, and then,
It doesn't matter where he came from,
It doesn't matter where he went,
All that matter was his fairytale,
All the untold stories from all his untold friends.
And a fire burns inside me,
The flame they used to send him out,
Cry over his ashes,
Spread him across his favorite ground.
His blood still runs through my veins,
But I'm the only one.
He was one in a million,
Now his legacy is gone.
And I've nothing left without him,
But I will be all right,
Because he was a hero,
And he taught me to fight.
He stood up against our villains,
When they tried to break us down,
Healed my cuts and bruises,
Took our abusers to the ground.
The world still revolves,
And the sun still shines,
But everything is a shadow,
I know I'm running out of time.
His life ended too early,
But mine still goes on.
I wish it were the other way,
I wish every day that I was gone.
But this flame still burns inside me,
The one they used to end his life.
It tells me to keep moving,
But it stabs me like a knife.
His life was all or nothing.
Cut short by many years,
I don't know why I'm still alive,
Fighting through the tears.
I am not a good man,
Not like my brother was.
I am full of anger,
He was so full of love.
Maybe while I'm sleeping,
My life will finally end,
And we will meet in heaven,
And be a family again.

Sugar ain't sweet



Reckless intent goes through my nose
Joy rushes through my veins
Masquerade all my pain
Live intense just to die
Slowly
As I lose my pride
Intoxicants resurrect fallen courage
Just a coward deep down inside
Can't face the world with out escape
When you realize
Its just too late

My soul is bleeding
Its pouring through my nose
It forms a splash of my life
Departed
From the ones I love
They can't see what I've become
An addict
To my pain
Mortification caused by sin
Just a loser
Never win
In the end
I will descend
Away
Further from the pearls on those gates
As god rightfully negates
My entry
Dispatch my soul
Into the brilliant igneous abyss
I'll let you
The voices in my head
Say quit
But why?

i do not know what comes over me
when i sink into my desparity
sulk in my depression and my heavy heart.
the sickening sadness
the blinding madness
the very thing that tears me apart
love
fate has blessed me
yet the other half of my brain has second guessed me
you love who you love
this is something I cannot deny.
no matter how hard i try.

BURNLEY

It started small, a thing I never planned.
This house, which you expect - rather, demand -
I polish every minute, neat as a shell
has become my cell.

It's tough, not going outside, making no sound
as your schoolmaster cane inflects each wound,
accepts the count of every bright switch I take.
Afterwards, I ache.

So, I've begun acting out my dissatisfaction;
I don't deny I'm wanting your reaction.
I tilt this picture of your beloved Burnley.
You're bound to punish me.

And so, each day I say what I am feeling,
your Burnley's pants-down, shockingly revealing,
the doffing of its frame a shade more acute.
I'm following suit.

I wonder when you learned that swollen flesh
splits more when hit - anoints your cane afresh
when left to rise, like bread, for half an hour -
with my red offerings, my dying flower,
my dying red flower.

Re:pain


Feelings are over rated on emotion

Emotions are raw feelings not devotion



Love can warm your heart or make it bleed

It can stand strong or bring you to your knees



With no emotion or nothing to feel

You wont know fantasy from real



Which is better, which is worse

Are they a blessing or a curse?



It is good to know which way to go

There is one way to know



Look in the eyes
They are the window to the soul

Hope

They say hope shines bright,
They say hope will make things alright,
But hope is just lie,
I lie I no longer buy,

The lesson I learned,
Is that hope hurts,
Hope reminds you of your pain,
Hope can drive a person insane,
Hope is why we wait too long,
Hope is almost always wrong,

I hear my mother crying in the shower,
tears are louder than the water that surrounds her,
Tears of pity,
for me, for her. for us.

My father has lost all trust in his son,
its been so long since he wanted me along,
no words spoken,
between me and him. for us.

At what point did i stray from the path they carefully laid?
The mistakes I made left a wake,
Disgraced faces force fake smiles,
All the while I wish I could close my file.. for their sake.

Not 'why me'?
No.
Why them?
I can't begin to comprehend,
How they still pretend I am a gem,
When I am the one who took so much from them,
So, what do I have to show for it?

The first time was the worst,
But by now their parts are well rehearsed.
I wish I could trade their hurt for a lonely hearse,
To rid the earth of our family's curse..

me.

pain

that day
when the snow swirled gracefully around our heads,
your breath warmed my face, and your smile warmed my heart
i knew id found
id found true love.
but sometimes
its not returned.
sometimes who you love truely and completely
sometimes they dont love you back.
you broke my heart when you broke it off,
but can i really blame you?
youre perfect and kind
of course ever4yone would want you.
youd never hurt me on perpose
...but it doesnt change my heart
it doesnt change that im broken
it doesnt change that i love you with all my heart and soul
but i cant change that you dont love me too..
i
can only wish happiness for you.

Just How ?      



How could you
leave them all
so young,  in need
so small
although the years
have passed
shed tears , yeah
they still get cast .

I just cannot
comprehend
they're all I've got
my best of friends .

My existence
only is , or has a life
because I try with persistence
for them , they are
the reason why

But you walked
away ?
I struggle with it
everyday

How could my greatest
benefactor
who gave me all
that I could ask for
turn out to be
the worst part of me
of my life , my biggest downfall .

How could you
walk away
I've truly struggled
in each day
I watch them sleep
I seethe !  
you fucker
you've made them bleed
gave them the need
to have a real
mother .
