Do You Love Me Dad?
Do you love me dad?
Your love is all I ever wanted
Trying to remain calm
Trying to remain strong
While you slowly destroy me
I’m your eldest child
Your first born
I always thought fathers
Protected their little girls
Instead you mind fucked me
Why do you hate me dad?
Because I don’t understand
What I’ve done wrong
I’ve always tried hard
Picking my own self up
Every time I’d fall
Why don’t you defend me dad?
The past two years
I’ve given all of my best
Only you refuse to acknowledge ...
Your love is all I ever wanted
Trying to remain calm
Trying to remain strong
While you slowly destroy me
I’m your eldest child
Your first born
I always thought fathers
Protected their little girls
Instead you mind fucked me
Why do you hate me dad?
Because I don’t understand
What I’ve done wrong
I’ve always tried hard
Picking my own self up
Every time I’d fall
Why don’t you defend me dad?
The past two years
I’ve given all of my best
Only you refuse to acknowledge ...

Narcissistic Appitite
Shadows lurking
In ones heart
Full of spite
Delectably appealing
Stirring the
Narscistic appetite
A sleeping terror
Awakens to feast
An orgy of destruction
Bringing it's victims
To their knees
Raging storms
Submerge from the
Loitering abyss
Of a resentful soul
Showing no mercy
For the wreckage
Lives
Left behind of it's path
This majestic power
The narcissist
Must feel
From the sinister
Acts of cruelty
So heartless
Sends a thrill
Down the spine ...
In ones heart

Deep Within
Deep within
The nightmares web
A captive soul
Held down by hands
Her mind has become
A tortured maze
She no longer knows
Her nights from days
Her heart is a tourniquet
Inside her hollow chest
Holding secrets
And all the mess
Frozen tears
No longer flow
Quivering voice
Out of control
Parroted words
Lost echos in the crowd
Flight of a bird
Steady in the sky
Held to the mind
Of a shaky ground
Windows of her soul
Which holds the deep
Wounds she has suffered ...
The nightmares web
A captive soul
Held down by hands
Her mind has become
A tortured maze
She no longer knows
Her nights from days
Her heart is a tourniquet
Inside her hollow chest
Holding secrets
And all the mess
Frozen tears
No longer flow
Quivering voice
Out of control
Parroted words
Lost echos in the crowd
Flight of a bird
Steady in the sky
Held to the mind
Of a shaky ground
Windows of her soul
Which holds the deep
Wounds she has suffered ...

Perhaps
Perhaps it’s been
So long since
I’ve actually had
A close friend
Maybe I’m too forgiving
Because I let others
Hurt me
Time after time
Again and again
Perhaps I’m too nice
In some ways naive
Does that make me
A door mat?
For everyone to walk
On whenever they please
Maybe I should show
Courage and learn
How to say no
Put myself first for once
And learn to
Love myself more

Darkened Heart
In the deafening
Sound of silence a
Darkened heart
Beats to a
Sinister rhythm
Of unmentionable
Desires lingering
In the shadows
Of her thoughts
In her mind
Where time
Was lost
Her blood boils
With furry
And disdain
Her soul shivers
Trying to control
The tide full of rage
Pumping through
The iron of her veins

Complexity
I’m broken tired
And carrying burden
Of my unseen pain
My heart full of Angers
Mind battling reactions
And all the dangers
Yet I’m the one
Expected to stand strong
Feeling like
One more feather
Going to crack and fall
Im broken
Trying to mend
Yet losing hope
Who is really my friend ?
Where does it end ?
There are no shoulders
For my falling tears
When can I just rant ?
Trusted vent
My voice falls
Upon deaf ears
I’ve been praying to God
I keep searching for...
And carrying burden
Of my unseen pain
My heart full of Angers
Mind battling reactions
And all the dangers
Yet I’m the one
Expected to stand strong
Feeling like
One more feather
Going to crack and fall
Im broken
Trying to mend
Yet losing hope
Who is really my friend ?
Where does it end ?
There are no shoulders
For my falling tears
When can I just rant ?
Trusted vent
My voice falls
Upon deaf ears
I’ve been praying to God
I keep searching for...

Unlock The Door
Many nights
She sits at her desk
Writing her poetry
The ticking Clock
Often interrupts
Her thoughts
As if the time
Is playing with her
Time flys
When your having fun
Time barely passes
When your in a hurry
Time stands still
In her darkest hours while
Searching for the key
To unlock the door
To free her soul
From this painful world
Putting her pen
And paper aside
She picks up
Her keenest knife
Whispering to herself
'How she could
Slit her vein
To end this pain ...
She sits at her desk
Writing her poetry
The ticking Clock
Often interrupts
Her thoughts
As if the time
Is playing with her
Time flys
When your having fun
Time barely passes
When your in a hurry
Time stands still
In her darkest hours while
Searching for the key
To unlock the door
To free her soul
From this painful world
Putting her pen
And paper aside
She picks up
Her keenest knife
Whispering to herself
'How she could
Slit her vein
To end this pain ...

I disappeared
Within myself
Like the raven
Into the darkness
Of the night

I don’t know how
To be quiet
When my heart
Is speaking

Portrait Of Sorrow
As you were
Painting me
The colors of
My happiness
Bleed
Into sadness
Renaming my
Portrait To Sorrow

Victim Of Your Own Kindness
There are some people who
Are very nice and sweet
And there are some people
Who can't stand the happiness
Of others
Then there are some people
Who will simply just tear
Your heart right from your chest
With a big smile while your
Bloody heart still beats
In the clutches of their hands
Watching you collapse
To the ground struggling
For a breath to ask them
"Why"?
"Why me"?
Little did know
It never was about you
To begin with
While you were thinking
You two were good
They were...
Are very nice and sweet
And there are some people
Who can't stand the happiness
Of others
Then there are some people
Who will simply just tear
Your heart right from your chest
With a big smile while your
Bloody heart still beats
In the clutches of their hands
Watching you collapse
To the ground struggling
For a breath to ask them
"Why"?
"Why me"?
Little did know
It never was about you
To begin with
While you were thinking
You two were good
They were...

We Can’t Cover Our Ears Forever
We can't cover our
Own ears forever...
There are many
Reasons and a
Number of things
That can weigh
On our hearts
Some of us may
Be able to get over it
Quickly and easier
Than others
Some of us seem
To have a tendency
To bury the pain
And go about our business
After a while
We will find ourselves
Forcing a smile
So no one will see
How terribly hurt
We are inside
Sometimes we feel the tears
Burning our eyes
Then quickly pull
Ourselves together
Because we...
Own ears forever...
