POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
My Darkness
It’s not your hair,
That brushes against your cheeks.
It’s not your eyes,
That glisten in the dark of the night.
It’s the way,
The way that you stare,
The way it burns me.
It’s the way,
The way you wear cruelty,
On that beautiful face.
It’s the way,
The way I love you,
When there’s nothing else left.
That brushes against your cheeks.
It’s not your eyes,
That glisten in the dark of the night.
It’s the way,
The way that you stare,
The way it burns me.
It’s the way,
The way you wear cruelty,
On that beautiful face.
It’s the way,
The way I love you,
When there’s nothing else left.

Possession
Smoke inside,
Lights out,
Scream for me,
Shout.
Delirious,
Covered in bruises,
Dark and light,
Everybody loses.
This is love,
My heart,
On the wall,
Part by part.
Give in,
Give to me
The heart,
Which I see.
Lights out,
Scream for me,
Shout.
Delirious,
Covered in bruises,
Dark and light,
Everybody loses.
This is love,
My heart,
On the wall,
Part by part.
Give in,
Give to me
The heart,
Which I see.

Going Down
There’s a man with a knife,
Walking down,
At the ready,
Ready to take a life.
He’s cold, dark, and mean,
Has no life,
Has no desire,
In his heart are thoughts unclean.
He’ll break you apart,
Tear you down,
Build you up,
Take your heart.

He’ll break you apart,
Tear you down,
Build you up,
Take your heart.

Body
If my skin is a temple,
I will decorate the stones,
And build it up
With metal and bones.
If my heart is sacred,
Then break it into pieces,
Break it all up,
Until the beating ceases.
If words can never hurt me,
Than how come I’m lifeless,
Laying here gutted,
They will never confess.

Laying here gutted,
They will never confess.

I AM
I am the demon,
You cast away into hell.
I am the mad dog,
You shot in the chest.
I am the great beast,
Killed by a hero.
I am the criminal,
Forgotten in a cell.
I am the deranged,
Left alone in a room.
I am the evil,
That deserves no love.
You cast away into hell.
I am the mad dog,
You shot in the chest.
I am the great beast,
Killed by a hero.
I am the criminal,
Forgotten in a cell.
I am the deranged,
Left alone in a room.
I am the evil,
That deserves no love.

Monster
Trembling of the hands,
Beating of the heart,
Stumbling feet,
Shaking knees.
Horror is here,
Here to stay,
Stay with you,
Here forever in your mind.
Tortured screams
Resonate throughout
The cavernous mouth
Of the monstrosity.
Grossly deformed,
Left alone
By its master,
Now it only searches.
Its found you,
And now it consumes you,
Swallowing your screams,
Swallowing your soul.
Beating of the heart,

And now it consumes you,
Swallowing your screams,
Swallowing your soul.

Revenge
Everything I did for you,
Can’t you see?
I tried so hard to please you.
But you reject me,
And turn away from me,
Why my darling? Why?
It's a shame,
But I gave you my life,
And now I’m coming to take yours.
Can’t you see?
I tried so hard to please you.
But you reject me,
And turn away from me,
Why my darling? Why?

But I gave you my life,
And now I’m coming to take yours.

The Lagoon
It is black and cold,
The smell of death lingers
Above the still waters.
The plants are all dead,
And the trees reach to the sky,
Like dead skeleton fingers.
It is a dark place,
With decay in the foggy air,
And water black like the reaper’s veil.
Everything in it is dead,
Or gone, like the life
From your rosy cheeks.
Our first and last,
You, my one and only,
Lay at the bottom in the silt.
The smell of death lingers
Above the still waters.
The plants are all dead,
And the trees reach to the sky,
Like dead skeleton fingers.
It is a dark place,
With decay in the foggy air,
And water black like the reaper’s veil.
Everything in it is dead,
Or gone, like the life
From your rosy cheeks.
Our first and last,
You, my one and only,
Lay at the bottom in the silt.

Forever
Is it ever gonna be enough?
All the love I give you,
All the life I give you.
Will you ever be satisfied?
Satisfied with my sacrifice,
With my willingness to follow.
Will you ever accept me?
Know the darkest corners of my mind,
And my horrid fantasies.
Will you ever love me?
All the love I give you,
All the life I give you.
Will you ever be satisfied?
Satisfied with my sacrifice,
With my willingness to follow.
Will you ever accept me?
Know the darkest corners of my mind,
And my horrid fantasies.
Will you ever love me?

Infestation
It is an infestation,
They are here with their greed,
They are back with their fattened flesh,
Back to claim the world as theirs.
Back to eat up the dark,
Back to eat up the light,
Nothing left but a void,
Nothing left but their greedy mouths.
Turning everyone into a clone,
They cannot be all alone,
Never again, never again,
They’ll rule forever.

Turning everyone into a clone,

Never again, never again,
