POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The Weakness Within
The ten thousand hours spent down on my knees, Never added up
To the ten thousand tears spilled down my cheeks, I always knew
The ten thousand cuts spread across my wrists, Would never fade
Into the thousand scars scattered across my mind, I always prayed
Would they hear my final prayer if I shouted it out
Would they see my final sacrifice if I pointed it out
They never saw behind closed doors, Or behind closed eyes
They only knew what they caused, Hate and the weakness within
Still they pushed me to the ground, Spitting their filth onto me...

Hell and Freezing Rain
These shadows that surround me, Do they expect something of me
Do they wait for the dawn, Do they yearn for the light
They call to me, Ushering me to the edge of the depths
A sound I never hear, My heart beating is the only voice uttered
“Forced beyond; Pathetic and foolish of you”
So full of fury, My own hands seek my neck
To carry me through hell and the freezing rain
I have seen hell, And I have every urge to go back
Don’t let me go, Don’t force me to escape tonight
My heart is shown, In darkened rays and curious pulses
As the blood is...

Forced By Your Hands
I’m not saying the pages are burned, But the ink is running free
You are always trying to save that which isn’t in danger
I’m not saying the book is burned, But the words are collapsing
You are always trying to build a foundation on stained glass
I never needed your heart to guide me, Your words were never soothing
They cut into me, Into my coffin like moths to a flame
I always needed your heart to guide me, Your words were always soothing
They healed the monster in me, But now way too much has changed
I grew into a broken shell, Not a lifestyle...

A Slaughter of Innocence
I still feel hell, But I no longer feel the heat beneath
I still feel heaven, But I no longer feel the angels lifting me
I still feel soil, But I no longer feel my feet guiding me
I still feel stars, But I no longer feel you watching out for me
This has never changed, How could it and how will it
When I could never give enough of myself away
I have given everything that I am to make this stay the same
In this place I have found rest, In this place I have found peace
Inside this war I am welcomed home, A slaughter of innocence
My halo was shattered...

Following My Heart
Another night, I am consumed by your absence
Your face fades with the falling rain
Another year, I am lost without your guidance
Your name inscribed in the stars
I can no longer be strong without you here
I can no longer wipe away the burning tears
My loss is felt through every bone and vein
My broken life will never be the same again
How could you leave so many so quickly
A thousand strong, But a thousand so weak
We cry your name to the heavens for hope
A hope we lack, A hope you’ll descend again
Why can’t the nights become...

An Elegant Cemetery (Part 2)
You shed me like a cloak, As if I had hidden you away
I clung to you like a cloak, As if you had hidden me away
You ran from me like a sheep, As if I had hunted you down
I fled from you like a sheep, As if you had hunted me down
A year gone by, A grave filled, A cemetery given elegance
Rain cascades, Shovels hit dirt, A grave-robber in search
Metal hits wood, Flashlight hits flesh, A quest ended
Decaying hearts reach into the sky, Towards the beginning we created
You deserved a burial fit for the gods, A goddess in my eyes
My heart bows to what my...

An Elegant Cemetery (Part 1)
A thousand yesterday’s turn into a thousand today’s
Still the visions of your face won’t fade away
A thousand tomorrow’s turn into a thousand chances
Still the memories of your name won’t burn away
Bleeding out, You used to escape through my wrists in time
Seeking out, I used to escape through the pain brought on
Reaching out, You used to escape through the brightest light
Fleeting hope that I could escape the home we built so long ago
We stood upon the world, With the moon beneath us
As night turned into day, We would sleep upon the clouds
We...

Paradise Created
I am faded, I am forced to the edge
With no hope, No soul to tear apart
There is nothing left and nothing held
But your love to my torn heart
With no hope, No soul to tear apart
There is nothing left and nothing held
But your love to my torn heart

A Faded Eulogy
A man I was made to be, I never found and never stopped searching
The man I was created to be, I never found and never stopped pretending
A child in a world of wolves, A rose in a field of thorns
Fading so quickly, Find the strength in me, Bring me to my bitter end
Take me, Don’t let this be the end
Save me, Don’t let this stop again
This song plays endlessly
My prayers in a faded eulogy
In the beginning, I was held to my promises of a day better than now
Yet here I am, On my knees, Eating dirt and crow
In the end, I am held to my grave...

Removed From Feeling
Home is a misplaced word, Blood is a thin rope around our necks
We’re all dying, But no one dares to reach out for God
Peace is a misplaced war, Blood is a raging fire around our hearts
We’re all dying, But no one dares to reach out for Death
So fed up, So spoon-fed, So fooled and fucked up
We stand up, to stand out, To be removed from our mind
So spread out, So sped up, So sickened and stupid
We fall down, to fall out, To be removed from our life
The lights are fading, The voices come and go with the waning wind
The horizon is seeking...

Praying Endlessly
Struggle creates perfection, A diamond from the roughest boulders
How could I fear life or death, When fear is the fuel on my burning heart
Pumping through my veins, I consume burnt out hearts to feel the same
I shake hands and they shake their head, My face is on every missing poster
A broken child, A tortured home, You want out, You want peace
Failed your parents, Failed school, Failed friends, Failed yourself
Covered wrists, Black clothes, Angry music, Tattoos over scars
Vices up, Broken down, Sent to hell, Praying for heaven endlessly
Caught in a...

Built On Glass
Where am I to call home, My foundation is built on glass
My knees are shaking, My nerve is gone, I fall to my death
Who am I to call family, My blood is thinner than air
My hands are shaking, My nerve is gone, I reach my end
My father has forsaken me, My mother has abandoned me
My kin has become a mystery, I search for a place to call my own
But no one cares to save me, To take me in, To hold me up
As my world caves in and everything I stood for comes falling down
I once cared, I once loved, I once gave so much I ran out
I fled from home to find...
