POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Break the Chain
If I were to die right now
It wouldn't matter whether I live
There is nothing I've left to give
Potential can only be strung so far
Until they see who you really are
Its like broken Records
Playing the same Scratchy tune
Everyday is the same
Every conversation has been replayed
Every smile
Every nod
Its all been done before
Could I find myself here in the next 5 years?
I hope not
I fear it so
A repeat can drive one mad
It wouldn't matter whether I live
There is nothing I've left to give
Potential can only be strung so far
Until they see who you really are
Its like broken Records
Playing the same Scratchy tune
Everyday is the same
Every conversation has been replayed
Every smile
Every nod
Its all been done before
Could I find myself here in the next 5 years?
I hope not
I fear it so
A repeat can drive one mad

Suicide
Breathe
On this silently still, summers night
Dream under Autumn leave blankets
Awaken under light Diamond flakes
Sleep down on the ocean floor
Sleep now and forever more
For your blood covers the bathroom floor
You will breathe no more
On this silently still, summers night
Dream under Autumn leave blankets
Awaken under light Diamond flakes
Sleep down on the ocean floor
Sleep now and forever more
For your blood covers the bathroom floor
You will breathe no more

Systematic Overdrive
A conclusion
Never an answer
Seeking truth
Believing a lie
Looking for hope
Hoping to die
Life lifts with a final attempt
Eyes filled with pain and regret
I wished upon a shooting star
And wished you back into my arms
Too late spoke softly like an autumns breeze
They'll never forgive me
They won't remember
The name who saved all when all was dead
They'll never forgive you
for being this way
Wilted flowers reach towards the sky with hopes for the drink of life
While my wrist is severed by your rusted knife
Never an answer
Seeking truth
Believing a lie
Looking for hope
Hoping to die
Life lifts with a final attempt
Eyes filled with pain and regret
I wished upon a shooting star
And wished you back into my arms
Too late spoke softly like an autumns breeze
They'll never forgive me
They won't remember
The name who saved all when all was dead
They'll never forgive you
for being this way
Wilted flowers reach towards the sky with hopes for the drink of life
While my wrist is severed by your rusted knife

Rumor Has it
How do you know
Where you're going
If you don't know
Where you've been
Everything is meant to be broken
Every wrong word was once spoken
All these words.......
Whispering in my ears...
How do you tell a blind man
That he's blind
When you don't know what he see's
All these words.......
Whispering to me...
Word out on the street
Our love is discreet
Rumor has it
I'm leaving you
(Walking)
Rumor has it
You've found someone new
(goodbye)
Rumor has it
(yes you do)...
Where you're going
If you don't know
Where you've been
Everything is meant to be broken
Every wrong word was once spoken
All these words.......
Whispering in my ears...
How do you tell a blind man
That he's blind
When you don't know what he see's
All these words.......
Whispering to me...
Word out on the street
Our love is discreet
Rumor has it
I'm leaving you
(Walking)
Rumor has it
You've found someone new
(goodbye)
Rumor has it
(yes you do)...

Stranger (Collab by Danii and AndreaStryder)
Yesterday is gone
Today is tomorrow
Things went wrong
While we lived in fear
If he didn't care, I would stay away
Nothing could compare to the price I would pay
To leave it all behind
And forget what I wanted to say
Stranger in a mask
I dare not ask
Thy name on my tongue tasted bitterly sweet
I fell to my knees in shock and defeat
I focused on the task
Of removing his mask
My hands came near
I pulled away in fear
I didn't want to see
What wasn't meant for me
There, I sat, waiting to die
Refusing to face the hideous...
