Poet Introduction
Peeling the layers of broken prayers into thin air reveals words that care.
I Can`t Imagine Your Broken Heart
I can't imagine your broken heart
when it shatters like glass and your eyes bleed tears
all your fears turn on the gears and shred the beating meat in your chest cavity
the light bulb bursts and every time you try to pick up the pieces they burn your palms and leave crimson rivers
I can't imagine your broken heart
when you can still be alive but every time you try the battery is on 10%
every piece of the past sends you spiraling back to a time when you felt alive only to be watching through eyes not fooled by the lie that was your life
I can't imagine...
when it shatters like glass and your eyes bleed tears
all your fears turn on the gears and shred the beating meat in your chest cavity

I can't imagine your broken heart
when you can still be alive but every time you try the battery is on 10%
every piece of the past sends you spiraling back to a time when you felt alive only to be watching through eyes not fooled by the lie that was your life

Leave Me Be, My Memories
Memories stare back at you,
through the mirror in your mind.
You want to leave them all behind.
So smash the mirror,
the cracks will fill with blood.
Blow by blow the mirror shatters,
like your broken dreams.
Life flowing out the seams,
of your wrists,
and turn to scars.
They never heal,
always real.
Pulsing skin,
where to begin.
The flow of relief.
Only temporary,
as your life.
Addicted to this,
monster of steel.
Becoming more real,
as he makes you a meal.
Liquid sorrow he steals,
with memories to seal,...
through the mirror in your mind.
You want to leave them all behind.
So smash the mirror,
the cracks will fill with blood.
Blow by blow the mirror shatters,
like your broken dreams.
Life flowing out the seams,
of your wrists,
and turn to scars.
They never heal,
always real.
Pulsing skin,
where to begin.
The flow of relief.
Only temporary,

Addicted to this,

Nothing
Take it,
all of it.
Now ashes,
they burn.
Take them.
The memories,
what once was.
Still churning,
clouded wisps,
of inhumanity.
Swirling sorrow,
etched into
my skull.
Ever burning,
my eyes.
Filling.
Spilling.
The pain,
into water.
Drowning
the voices.
Speak my lies.
Hush, Hush.
Hear the whisper.
Shh, Shh.
Believe the lies.
Hush, Hush.
Hear the whisper.
Shh, Shh.
Close your eyes.
They never liked you,
they...
all of it.
Now ashes,
they burn.
Take them.
The memories,
what once was.
Still churning,
clouded wisps,
of inhumanity.
Swirling sorrow,
etched into
my skull.
Ever burning,
my eyes.
Filling.
Spilling.
The pain,
into water.
Drowning
the voices.
Speak my lies.
Hush, Hush.

Shh, Shh.

Hear the whisper.
Shh, Shh.
Close your eyes.
They never liked you,

Drysight
Desolate Wastelands,
in your eyes.
Make me cry.
Tears of sand
in the hourglass.
To be filled up,
and dumped again.
Over and over
ever churning,
ever burning.
The rosy cheeks
they slide across.
Smooth and elegant.
Leaving the fragrant smell,
of simulated sorrow.
In the trodden trails,
of sudden salty sobs.
A cacophony of calamity
in the mind,
you thought you left behind.
Let the ebony silk,
sliding over sight.
Make them empty
of wavering pride,
as it glides.
Onto,
into,
through...
in your eyes.
Make me cry.
Tears of sand
in the hourglass.
To be filled up,
and dumped again.
Over and over
ever churning,
ever burning.
The rosy cheeks

Trees in the Rain
Swaying trees,
dance in the breeze.
White skies fall to gray,
as leaves blow away.
The branches so bare,
flow without care.
When stormy winds rise,
fear lights up your eyes.
Gray clouds fade to black,
chills crawl up your back.
The candles snuff out,
howling moans become shouts.
They slide through your ears,
like sharp broken mirrors.
The shuddering gutters,
shattering shutters.
Clanking by torchlight,
all through the midnight.
Flailing around,
not without sound.
Causing a racket,
as you...
dance in the breeze.

Behind...
Screaming calls for all to hear,
but they still have yet to fear.
What lies deep down inside,
the wonderful darkness in witch you hide.
Bright red walls rot to black,
once your gone there's no coming back.
The fevered voices in your head,
fill you with increasing dread...
Shut them up,
shout them out.
Cut their throats,
till thick blood pours,
on the floors,
on the walls.
In your soul,
filling the hole,
left behind,
By all the traitors.
By all the haters.
By all the ones you use to call, ...
but they still have yet to fear.

Love`s Curse
I watch others squirm
in love`s nasty grip.
They seem to fall forever,
from one little trip.
They say its worth the pain,
to have pleasure in your heart.
But i don't see why,
when that's only the start.
It consumes their minds,
straight to the very core.
I can no longer grasp,
whats left of them anymore.
I want to save them,
from this eternal curse.
But they cant break away,
it only gets worse.
I hold in my hands,
the shattered remains.
Of crushing memories,
and faded red blood stains.

Your Choice
Its all in your head,
the sickness, the pain.
It grasps your mind,
as you cry out in vain.
"They cant hear you anymore,
don't worry my dear.
Ill take good care of you,
just let me out of here.
You'll soon accept,
and then enjoy.
The frightening techniques,
that i employ.
So sit back and relax,
as i enter your mind.
Do away with decaying pieces,
that you've left behind"
I can no longer love,
I can no longer feel.
I've been consumed,
and ultimately sealed.
It seems...
the sickness, the pain.

as you cry out in vain.

Heart of Ice
the icy heart
i call home
eats away
at every bone
it does not breath
it does not bite
but make sure
not to bring it to life
you call to its core
you cry to the sky
but it cant hear you
and you never said goodbye
it was your friend
but this is the end
so say farewell
to the broken heart
and slowly let your own
get a chilling start

The Catnip Grows along the Fence
The way the catnip grows,
it tickles your nose,
it tickles your toes.
It breaths in the sunlight.
So bright, so bright.
The brilliant glowing.
The brilliant growing.
The brilliant catnip,
in the sunlight.
But in the shade,
where toes grow cold,
and nose turn blue,
What lies there,
in the icy dew.
The leaves of ivy,
lurk beyond,
what you see,
and lie in wait.
For burning inside, ...
it tickles your nose,
it tickles your toes.
It breaths in the sunlight.
So bright, so bright.
The brilliant glowing.
The brilliant growing.
The brilliant catnip,
in the sunlight.
But in the shade,
where toes grow cold,
and nose turn blue,
What lies there,
in the icy dew.
The leaves of ivy,
lurk beyond,
what you see,
and lie in wait.
