Poet Introduction
Keep an eye on me when I swim too close to the deep end, It will be a sight too see, as I thrash around trying to keep my head above water.
Shedding
What I was can never be again.
What I will become, cannot remain.
I wander as a husk, feed me to the vulture, fill me with woe.
Boundless is my reach, corrosive is my touch, stay yourselves from me, lest you dance in the flame.

Torture. Kill. Repeat.
Standing alone in a room as black as the sun, the reaper put you in limbo, torturing you until the pain is unbearable
you will beg to stop the suffering, but a little bitch like you gets all they deserve
he'll slit your throat, fist fuck the wound, till blood is all you can consume
your fucking worthless, like a dog in the street, like vermin crawling around in shit
your the scum resting on the top of the earth, acting like a big shot, your mouth got you shot and your skull impacted with a hammer
dazed you stagger, into the mouth of hell,...

Remnants of what was
You hate me, you love me, your disappointed in me, your sad for me, your watching as I fall apart
You think I'm caring, you think I'm reliable, your turned away because I don't want to hurt you
You cry for me, you would die for me, yet I'm a ghost of my former self
I loved you, I still need you, I hope that we can entwine our souls once more
I miss you

Social wretch
I understand why Dahmer did what he did, I understand the overwhelming suffering of being alone, its the fact of being discarded that hurts the most. To have someone to share what little you have with, is the dream. To have unrefuted company, even if its based in fear, makes life bearable. I've been alone my whole life, neglected and abandonment were the foundation from which I was made, but in recent years its gotten worse. I've had to endure the fake smiles and emotionless "how are you goings" more and more and I'm sick of it, its as worthless as me lending an "empathic" ear. All I want is...

Little taste of the devil inside
My thoughts led me to a path less travelled, this is the string that was unraveled, can't turn back until I'm certain, that madness is mine forever, I haven't slept for days, I see the shadows in the corner of my eye, I hear you calling my name, still I go further, my eyes are raw, crying to rest, but I ignore them, I see a glimpse of ghosts, they are getting louder, no words just noise, close the blinds, the daylight distracts my path, neighbours start to complain, madness sometimes gets a little loud, I've lost track of days gone by, I feel my body itch for sleep but I ignore it, bought a...

Reaching out to nothing
I'm tired of this loneliness, its crippling, I'm ever more distant from myself, its daunting
I want the heart felt embrace to wash away this stagnant flesh, please help complete me, the price you pay is time and the product is me, am I worth the exchange anymore?, I'm battered and broken
I want your smell on my clothes, I want your presence, but you don't exist, so I get nothing but crazy, I'm tired of meaningless sex so give me some meaning.

Forever here
My life is an open book, pages stained with cowardice, its made for all too look, words filled with emptiness
You can laugh or you can cry, this book is inked with pain and suicide
agony and loneliness are my eldest friends, when you all left me the bitterness began
now I'm left alive yet dead, you wonder why I'm livid, the seeds were buried in my head, that I wasn't allowed any happiness
I'm now accustomed to the back of you, so walk away like you always do, no one held close, no one held dear, resentment is what I hold here.

Vernande capere caput anguis
This is the new beginning, rebuilt with ash and rubble, city rebuilt from ruin. The falling sun reignites the dark, the dark in me, the cold soon follows, choking your every breath. Don't need a final chapter, the one I have is fine, with rage and flame, take me away. The Phoenix rises to be trapped in the cage, never to see the dark of day, eclipse of my heart. Suffer the songbird, clip its wings and watch it try to fly, look into its eyes as it loses all hope. My life is the sacrifice, for you I'll give it.

Cruelty and the beast
My heart is wounded, I've wounded hearts, is this the direction I need, is the humility mine forever? My tears meant nothing, as my spite disregards yours
I'm the mask blurred between lines and the scar that never fades
I need help from another, not a brother, a father or a mother, I need you, a lover
Just hear me out for the rest of my life, as I will hear you as soon as my hate turns to love
I'm the mask blurred between lines and the scar that never fades
I need help from another, not a brother, a father or a mother, I need you, a lover
Just hear me out for the rest of my life, as I will hear you as soon as my hate turns to love

Hindsight
I hate everyone but you, you always helped me through, like tar, you won't be unglued, stuck on me forever
I gave my soul to you, to do with whatever you wanted to, I close my eyes and your there in the darkness
You built me up to watch me fall, you're the heart that stabbed in the dark, the sting of sorrow, the knife in my back
Your smile glows like the moon when I fall like the sun
Never to eclipse one last time.
I gave my soul to you, to do with whatever you wanted to, I close my eyes and your there in the darkness
You built me up to watch me fall, you're the heart that stabbed in the dark, the sting of sorrow, the knife in my back
Your smile glows like the moon when I fall like the sun
Never to eclipse one last time.

Eternal
The power of hell awaits, first you must cross the gates, guarded by a three headed beast, Cerberus awaits its feast
flesh and bone for safe passage, torture is most ravished, to rip and tear the flesh from tissue, of this Cerberus has no issue
to grind the bone into powder, is matched by screams much louder, your soul relinquished and replenished, added to the pits of the masses.

Transparency
The glass was always broken, you're just pointing, looking to blame, there was never a sturdy pane, just shattered pieces of pain, no use trying to pick them up, they'll only hurt you, broken from the start, never to reflect a heart, broken and lying on the floor, looking up at a perfect world.
