sticks and stones

"sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me"
is what you always hear
but at the time
words werent knives
just inocent playthings
but everything corrupts
if you give it time
if its just a puppet
silent as a mime
yeah sticks may poke and prod
and stones leave bruises
but words make you question if there is a god
and in arguments your side always loses
stones and sticks may leave scars
but what you say can too,
they say you can reach for the stars
but to limit what you do
you may be sore from sticks and stones
but words can end a life
those sticks and stones leave you with broken bones
but words can weild a knife

Damnation

Hidden messages.
New voices.

Discovered specimen.
Exotic choices.

Happiness lost.
Happiness found.

Exorbitant cost.
Hallowed ground.

Pitiful beings.
Silently watching.

Sinister demons.
Begin a haunting.

Sadomasochists Lullaby

I hurt you, you hurt me
Let’s see who’s blood drips first

Can you truly feel intense love
If you don’t have a drop of masochism in you?
Because deep love tears you apart

It slowly unstitches
your heart
But it feels like you’re being
torn apart  

You’re so pretty when you cry
Come over here and let me dry your eyes
I’m the one who put you in pain
Say my name and I’ll fill your mind with beautiful lies

I can twist words
And manipulate
Trickery is a skill
And I’ve mastered the art

Inch closer to hear what I have planned
In my dungeon of love
Let me bind you with trust
I promise to take you to the heavens above

My sadistic side likes to play with knifes
I practiced etching my name into wood
In preparation for your skin
Just stay still, and don’t move an inch

Your skin is the canvas
My blade a paint brush
So let the blood flow
And we can create our masterpiece

Scream and cry
Until your throat is raw
Then fall to pieces
Begging for more

Our pain is a blood symphony
And I am the maestro
Directing our orchestra
With a blade

Broken you made me

I was once life...free and abundant.  
now but a shell, hollow, cold, alone.  
Surrounded by dark visions,
drowned in desolation,  
painted in the shapeless
undertones you created.  
 
your Catastrophe avant' garde  
 
Why cant I be...just me?
Sad broken vessel.  
It all fits I know...these things in front,  
fell by the wayside - crushed
among  the ruins.  
Yielding might with angelic
overtures, a veneer,  
 
in love with Derision.  
 
You've taken the fight out..
this debacle that is me.  
Seeking solace in the end,
draped in  misery.  
dangerous pretense..
not that I don't deserve...  
just crushed by imploding
doubt, your cruelty.  
I was once stature and recognition demanding...  displaced,
carved out by sirens' dialect.  
 
Taught me Fear  
 
Heart of love expelled
by poisoned elixir, the lies.  
Gnawed on my bravado,
till spineless and sore,  
  relished in the blood
spilled upon floors.  

I miss your loathing,
as I love you still.......  
...broken you made me,
despondent my will.

Stranded

I’m vainly trying to understand
Why your silence is more deafening than your screams
I have no sense of peace. Am I damned?
Or will I wake up from this dream?

I was aiming for the light, yet the tunnel caved in
And now I’m blindly walking through the darkness
Is my blindness a punishment for a sin?
Will I make it out of hell without becoming heartless?

I’m crawling out of this hole, but I’ve got nowhere to go
I’ve been abandoned; I took my life for granted
What has happened to my soul? I don’t feel whole
This pain is more than I’ve ever imagined; I’ve been stranded.

I’m vainly trying to understand
Why your ignorance of me hurts me more than your screams
The blood runs cold through my veins; I’m going mad
My only company are my dark thoughts, of which I am their Queen.

I nearly reached the surface, yet I was pulled down
Struggling only strengthened the grip
The air rushed out of me, and I had drowned
Darkness came for me as I slipped…

I’m crawling out of this hole, but I’ve got nowhere to go
I’ve been abandoned; I took my life for granted
What has happened to my soul? I don’t feel whole
This pain is more than I’ve ever imagined; I’ve been stranded.

Silent War

The doctors said that Ethan would get better
All he needed was to take his medication and receive our support
Yet that all turned to dust when we read the letter
And saw the consequences of a life cut short.

It wasn’t Ethan’s fault nor was it ours
We didn’t know how to fight something we couldn’t see
Now I stand before his grave with a bouquet of flowers
Had I seen the signs earlier, how different would things be?

I shamefully realize that I was just a watcher
A useless bystander who preferred to assume that Ethan was okay
He said that he was “fine”, whenever I even bothered…
To ask him. And now he’s gone away.

We didn’t understand the silent war he fought
But deep down I knew that he wasn’t alright
We cut down his body to calm his mother who was distraught
Ethan’s flame had blown out when it once burnt bright.

I was a selfish watcher and I had the warning signs right in front of me
If I had bothered to talk to him more, I could have probably saved his life
Instead, I allowed Ethan to deteriorate to such a degree
That he left behind a young daughter and wife.

I’m sorry Ethan that I didn’t care enough
I’m sorry that I didn’t interfere
I’m sorry that I wasn’t there for you when things were rough
Think of me what you will, but please believe my apology to be sincere.

Hollow Shell

This is it; I’m done
My heart still beats, yet no warmth flows through my veins
My face is an emotionless mask, and I feel nothing inside
Tears pour from my eyes, yet they offer no relief
From the pain and torment I’ve subjected myself to
Life is cruel, and I’m merely one of its foolish victims
I’ve irrevocably damaged the lives of the people who matter to me
No matter what I say or do, I can never make up for it
I’m in a dark and unstable place
I can’t find the light and set myself free
Life isn’t worth living with this pain I’m going through
So why not just end it all with two momentary pains?
And watch my life bleed out of this hollow shell of the person I once was.

See You in Hell

It seems that morals and compassion have gone out the window
For you to consider someone like me as a role model
Your tastes have turned from bubbly warmth to freezing snow
Whereas people collect paintings, my decorations are human skulls.
-
I express my emotions best when I use my knife
I view the human body as a delicate sculpture that only I can improve
You’re stupidly naïve to believe my obvious lies
Whatever delusions you have when you stick your cock in me; I’m just fucking you.
-
Many lovers have taken their pleasure from me and enjoyed it
And despite my cringe towards the emotional throw-up, I enjoy a good fuck
But what makes sex even better is when your jugular vein gets slit
My mood’s improved, though their situation certainly sucks.
-
I’m a cold-hearted bitch with no tolerance for stupidity
I couldn’t give a shit about any emotional baggage
At least five times a week, I throw a body out to sea
If I’m not feeling lazy, I do enjoy torturing hostages.
-
I’d torture you all right now, but hey, I’m in a good mood
Instead, I’ll go easy and simply torch this auditorium down
With all of you dead, I won’t get any boos
While I’m at it, I might as well burn down this town.
-
I thought I was the one fucked up
As I take pleasure in your fear’s arousing smell
You plead for my cure even as your friends and loved ones get blown up
Someday, I’ll see you all in hell.

Eternal Sleep

From your place up so high,
I stretch my fingers and touch the sky;
Mama says that you’ll fall down,
She says: “please land safely on the ground.”
 
I don’t remember your face,
But I still feel your embrace;
Each time I hear the engines roar,
The pang in my heart feels sore.  
 
Papa, I miss you; I want you home,
Please don’t leave me all alone;
Mama weeps because you went to eternal sleep.  
I don’t understand why I won’t ever see you again.
 
The light suddenly goes out,
And then I hear mama shout;
“Why didn’t you come back?
You were the only love I ever had.”
 
All the clouds turn red,
My heart is filled with dread;
One by one they fall,
The fire’s so big and I’m so small.

Papa, I miss you; I want you home,
Please don’t leave me all alone;
Mama weeps because you went to eternal sleep.  
I don’t understand why I won’t ever see you again.
 
The sirens are so loud,
The silence has turned to sound;
Mama no longer weeps,
All she does is bleed.
 
Now I’m all alone,
My heart has turned to stone;
You’re a forgotten memory,
Even as I burn, I can’t feel anything.
 
Papa, where are you? You didn’t come home.
I never see the plane that you have flown;
Mama sweet has joined you in eternal sleep.
I now understand that you’re a dead man.  
And that I’m alone…

My Love and Your Bottle

Do you need me, in the lonely hours of the night?
Let my love consume you, and your soul will be at ease,
With the a swift touch, the feeling of your affection, such a tease;
As I lie awake and think of you at night, I feel fine, everything’s alright.
Your touch makes me feel like the only girl in the world,
I know that’s not true, you’ve got your way around the other girls.
I get excited when you come to my window at night, to see your eyes gleaming in the moonlight.
But your breath reeks of Rum Spice, your hands around my neck grow tight.
 
Your words that hurt me are forgotten as I feel your kiss against my neck,  
The sensation you give me, makes me feel like I can fly.
But the days your hands find their way arond my neck, all I want to is die.
I know you love me, I know that you do.
You only forget to love me on the nights you’ve had a few.
The next day, you always approach me at school, full of apologies.
I lie and say there’s no excuse for your atrocities.
You know I love you too much to let you go,
This thing I’ve called love has kept me at an all time low.
 
You call me at night, say you need to see me.
You tell me to be quiet, as you hold me down and kiss me slowly.
With the smell of Mike’s prominent on your breath,
All I can think about is my time of death.
You never love me when I ask you to, you act like it’s a chore,
But you expect me to respond to your beck and call when you come knocking at my door.
Physicality isn’t another word for love, you only use me when you feel unwanted;
I want you all to myself, but you make me feel disheartened.
The love you give me is not from within, but the alcohol that reeks off of your skin.
As I stand at the top of the bridge, jump, drop my weight, go down full throttle.
You take a sharp intake of breath, and pick up your bottle.

trouble in hell

"i thought i was human"
"shut up....just shut up"
im not human
here is my proof
i dont have a home
 just four walls and a roof
you see a smiling mother
three kids
a boyfriend
i see hell
my mothers best friend
everyday
day in and day out
i cant find anyway to shout
for so many years
i held my piece
i put up a wall
well that has all ceased
now my life(funny joke)
is a waking nightmare
this is just life
we all know thats not fair
