The road to Hell (with Reading)
The bus rushes to hell, welcome
Under the hot blue sun it burns..
Radiator grilles with daggers
Bared their teeth in an inanimate grimace.
Faces are pressed against the glass, spreading,
Holes of pale faces are opened in screams
We were convinced - we should like it,
We were told: the track is without borders.
Hope is left only by those who enter -
There are no doors at all for the exit...
The insanely wailing sounds of motion
Bubbling host of souls is rushing to Hell.
The motor roars godlessly, as if to...
Under the hot blue sun it burns..
Radiator grilles with daggers
Bared their teeth in an inanimate grimace.
Faces are pressed against the glass, spreading,
Holes of pale faces are opened in screams
We were convinced - we should like it,
We were told: the track is without borders.
Hope is left only by those who enter -
There are no doors at all for the exit...

Bubbling host of souls is rushing to Hell.
The motor roars godlessly, as if to...

I swam below the surface, dying... (with Reading)
I swam below the surface.
You tried to drown me there.
Violated by the current stripping me away.
Sharing in the mind's decay.
Picking up the pieces with bloodied hands.
In them I see all the love, it's not pretend.
You just need me to see the monster.
To have no mercy on me, I don't ask.
And each body speaks to you, me too.
You took me to the graveyard.
An Apex predator's hunting ground.
Taking credit for another kill.
You fed me to the wolves.
The perverts eating me, so many bones.
This...

Checked the mirror, no one’s home.
I’d rather be dead than losing my mind.
Searching for something I will never find.
Forever chasing I was left behind.
Clawing out my eyes before I go blind.
Better than to see all the pain I’ve caused.
Searching for friendships that were never lost.
Continuing to tiptoe, I think not.
Was I supposed to need you? I forgot.
All the memories seem to fade away.
Never knowing what or what not to say.
A square peg cutting corners just to stay.
One day I’ll fit in but it’s not today.
Awkward is the way that I...

Halloween
The power went out,
the roads are closed by
the storm, the moon is
hidden in the dark clouds,
the road looks terrible,
and the dry leaves blowing
in the wind make the heart
beat faster,the black cat n
it's blue eyes are staring at us,
we have to deal with the
owl making a scary sound,
the naked body
witch walking on the
opposite foot is coming
towards us, suddenly the
herd of dogs barking n sprinting
towards us, starts splitting
our clothes It starts biting us
and starts dragging us on...
the roads are closed by

we have to deal with the

Woven
I see you shifting on the airs
changing thought and form
shh... you hear that silence?
that's me, quietly I come
entering into an understanding
you are everywhere
well guess what?
I am too
you're watching me
I'm watching you spy
I see you come apart
when your plot fails
anger teems I see it spread
you want a rise from me?
surprise...
I rise to greet your venom with something sweet
I ache but I keep my head
here I come, I'm no coward
I will look you in...

evil, disturbing, sinister or morbid
When she came to me
She said she was falling through the cracks
Do you want to be saved or pushed I asked
She looked down and weakly mumbled
Pushed
I can help I said
When can we start she asked
She said she was falling through the cracks
Do you want to be saved or pushed I asked
She looked down and weakly mumbled
Pushed
I can help I said
When can we start she asked

the nothing
twist the tale and relax
and it shall fall from your tongue...
your meaning
I see you in the mist
struggling to find your feelings
not knowing is frustrating
perhaps you feel nothing
like I do
it's always surprising...emotions
they come with such power then go
I wonder if they were ever mine at all
moving me with such force
that I lose my mind for a time
then all at once take their leave
I am left breathless and alone
I miss the spot you once occupy in my soul
...
and it shall fall from your tongue...

The Gruesome Night
The night was over
The rain made sure of it
The moon didn’t show
Cats cowered under cars
Men wept in tents
The bloated river washed away
The path of a fox
The night was final
Lingering eternal
As if the rays of dawn
Would never come
To burn the dark away
The gruesome
The endless
The pitiful night falls
To a kiss from the sun
With each embrace, she wears away
His velvet guard that stole the day
With each caress of Golden light
The sun erodes the shores of night
...
The rain made sure of it

To burn the dark away

Nightfall
Do not fear the dark
as I have done.
The sinking sun
and gathering shadows
don't mean any harm.
Although in my heart
I know sunrise will come
and that winters will end,
a blueprint on my brain
since before I made
conscious memories
associates nightfall
with trouble and fear.
For me, dark begets dark,
which is too hard to handle.
I'm beginning to realise
why I never wanted nights out
and preferred to stay in.
Still, there's nothing to fear;
the problem isn't...
as I have done.
The sinking sun
and gathering shadows
don't mean any harm.
Although in my heart
I know sunrise will come
and that winters will end,
a blueprint on my brain
since before I made
conscious memories
associates nightfall
with trouble and fear.
For me, dark begets dark,
which is too hard to handle.
I'm beginning to realise
why I never wanted nights out
and preferred to stay in.
Still, there's nothing to fear;
the problem isn't...

I Fade Into You Fade Into Me
I chased the stars against their will,
and though your heart shone brighter still,
the fact remains I was born still.
A death that’s buried deep inside,
the universe within me cried,
when I was born my mother died.
Forgotten child left all alone,
so many sins I can’t atone,
the pain reaches down to the bone.
I’d carve a hole within my chest,
to give your heart a place to rest,
please tell the world I tried my best.
Quiet freezing unseen and cold,
You feel the chill as I take hold,
our restless demons...
and though your heart shone brighter still,
the fact remains I was born still.
A death that’s buried deep inside,
the universe within me cried,
when I was born my mother died.
Forgotten child left all alone,
so many sins I can’t atone,
the pain reaches down to the bone.
I’d carve a hole within my chest,
to give your heart a place to rest,
please tell the world I tried my best.
Quiet freezing unseen and cold,
You feel the chill as I take hold,
our restless demons...

Wendy Suicide
I've always found my name a bit funny
Wendy Sue
kind of farm girl-ish
not former city sophisticate of priviledge
who was supposed to be rich all her life
but now works 50 plus hour weeks
with constant stress
and financial worry
thoughts of suicide have a dark, greasy romance
ew, not sure where that came from
but they are romantic ideed
it's like one is leaving for an exotic journey
that even the most competitive traveler can't top
