Justified
I watched her life ebb from her eyes.
Her skin growing more translucent
Like the moon kissed snow that surrounded us.
I didn't want to do this.
Her blood sang to me
Like the sweetest of canaries.
Her scent engulfed my senses
Making it hard to fight the monster
Dwelling within.
She was so delicate and tender
And my body rejoiced at her sweet taste.
My mind wracked with guilt
I didn't waste one drop.
I became the monster
I had so often loathed
And for my own selfishness.
I needed her
I was nothing without her.
Her smell...
Her skin growing more translucent
Like the moon kissed snow that surrounded us.
I didn't want to do this.
Her blood sang to me
Like the sweetest of canaries.
Her scent engulfed my senses
Making it hard to fight the monster
Dwelling within.
She was so delicate and tender
And my body rejoiced at her sweet taste.
My mind wracked with guilt
I didn't waste one drop.
I became the monster
I had so often loathed
And for my own selfishness.
I needed her
I was nothing without her.

Star
The stars that used to sparkle
Deep in my eyes,
Fissure and die
In this dark dank prison
You hold me in.
The very essence of me
Oozes out of every cut and scar
You cause.
You cut too deep,
You scratch too hard
And push too far.
I block out all the pain
And forget each bruise,
Because I realize
I'm better than this,
I deserve so much more.
So ust keep sharpening that blade,
For the one thing you think
You are taking,
You are actually giving to me.
I don't need you anymore
I am now on par.
Though your blade...
Deep in my eyes,
Fissure and die

And push too far.

Hell
Dreams don't come peacefully
For me anymore.
When the darkness begins -
The demons creep in,
Filling me with fear.
Tooth and nail
They fight
For the right
To flail.
I'm tied and caught
Forced to see
The havoc
They have wrought.
Too much sorrow,
Too much pain.
People fall for the
Sweet Promises
That the demons feign.
I try to scream,
I start to cry
But it does nothing
And instead
I'm left watching
People die.
Horrid flames lick at tender skin,
Piercing spears cause blood to flow.
None of...
For me anymore.
When the darkness begins -
The demons creep in,
Filling me with fear.

Help
The moon rises like a vacant memory
In the pitch black skies
That sabotage my mind.
Demons are inside my head
They fill my mind with lies
They tease,
They flaunt,
They float,
They haunt,
They make me want to break the ties.
Darkness closes in on me
Drowning me in blame.
It strips me of my sanity
And fills me full of shame.
I want to hide,
I want to cry,
I want to scream,
I want to die.
This bitterness I feel inside
Is nothing short of hate.
But there’s nothing left
That I can do
But sit...
In the pitch black skies
That sabotage my mind.
Demons are inside my head
They fill my mind with lies
They tease,
They flaunt,
They float,
They haunt,
They make me want to break the ties.
Darkness closes in on me
Drowning me in blame.
It strips me of my sanity
And fills me full of shame.
I want to hide,

I want to die.

Is nothing short of hate.

Change
The full moon brings time of change.
Try as you might -
You can't ignore the call of the wild.
Those animalistic urges running ever deeper
Forcing you to answer.
Your eyes focusing in the dark
Cause prey to twitch in the foliage.
Teeth sharpen into slender points.
Your mind itches to sink them
Into tender flesh.
Your bones crack and change
As your muzzle elongates.
Your sense of smell increases
As you hear the quickened beats
Of faint hearts.
Sleek fur covers your body
Keeping you warm and hidden.

The Rose
The rose so delicately picked
Pricks and bleeds its life blood from the thorn,
The droplets marring the green grass;
Tingeing the blades with death.
Watch your hands,
Don’t get caught.
Life lessons are learnt
As lies are taught.
A world with no morals
And a hell with no bounds,
Luring the damned
As the demons dance round.
Petals turn to dust
As the fire of depravity
Turns morality to rust.
As the years unfold
The story is told
Of how the roses colour
Came to be.
A fair young maiden
In the fields does wait...
Pricks and bleeds its life blood from the thorn,
The droplets marring the green grass;
Tingeing the blades with death.
Watch your hands,
Don’t get caught.
Life lessons are learnt
As lies are taught.
A world with no morals
And a hell with no bounds,
Luring the damned
As the demons dance round.
Petals turn to dust
As the fire of depravity
Turns morality to rust.
As the years unfold
The story is told
Of how the roses colour
Came to be.
A fair young maiden
In the fields does wait...

Apart
My eyes burn from the visions of hate
That I see everyday.
Some are too painful to tell.
I don't know what went wrong,
Or how I got lost along the way.
I'm on my own in a place far away
From where I'm meant to be.
All alone from my one true love.
The shadows grab at me
And they push and shove.
When I'm not around you
I'm not good enough.
Without you I'm incomplete
And anything but whole.
You have taken my heart and soul.
If I lost you, I'd break down and cry,
If you left me, I'd curl into a ball and die.
The razor bites my...

Bitten
In the darkness of the night
You let his fingers graze your flesh,
Waking a long forgotten feeling.
The touch is gentle but oh so deep,
Lighting your soul causing you to tremble
And make your knees go weak.
“Do not fight it my sweet femina
Let me envelop you,
Let my darkness spread within.
Give way to your darkest desires,
Do not deny me, my sweet femina.”
You cannot resist any longer
And let him in.
His sharp canine fangs
Pierce your tender flesh
Draining your blood
But fulfilling you to your core.
The warmth begins to fade...
You let his fingers graze your flesh,
Waking a long forgotten feeling.
The touch is gentle but oh so deep,
Lighting your soul causing you to tremble
And make your knees go weak.
“Do not fight it my sweet femina
Let me envelop you,
Let my darkness spread within.
Give way to your darkest desires,
Do not deny me, my sweet femina.”
You cannot resist any longer
And let him in.
His sharp canine fangs
Pierce your tender flesh
Draining your blood
But fulfilling you to your core.

Together Forever
Together Foreverby *Makeesha
Love blossoms,
Like a freshly watered rose.
Lust burns,
Like a newly stoked ember.
Pain cuts through,
Like a blade against flesh.
You said I was never as beautiful as you.
You said that beauty was on the inside.
So I ask you,
If I cut myself 10,000 times,
Showing my insides,
Will I be as beautiful as you?
Love is not fair.
Lust is not special.
To love is to feel pain,
All the time.
It never ceases its attacks,
Or softens the blow.
Love rapes the mind of all decency.
The truth is...
Love blossoms,
Like a freshly watered rose.
Lust burns,
Like a newly stoked ember.
Pain cuts through,
Like a blade against flesh.
You said I was never as beautiful as you.
You said that beauty was on the inside.
So I ask you,
If I cut myself 10,000 times,
Showing my insides,
Will I be as beautiful as you?
Love is not fair.
Lust is not special.
To love is to feel pain,
All the time.

Blades
Rivers flowing red.
Soon you know you'll be dead.
The razors thrown on the floor.
Curtains closed,
You've barred the door.
Silent screams echo the room.
You try to breathe,
But your throat closes over.
Suffocating you.
Your lips turn blue.
You lay and watch your wrists
Pouring out your heartache.
All your pain and suffering
Soaking into the carpet.
The blades glinting;tarnished
By past betrayals.
Each scar longer.
Each pain harder.
The razor bites deeper
Opening up your wrists.
Cos your heart refuses to thaw....
Soon you know you'll be dead.
The razors thrown on the floor.
Curtains closed,
You've barred the door.
Silent screams echo the room.
You try to breathe,
But your throat closes over.
Suffocating you.
Your lips turn blue.
You lay and watch your wrists
Pouring out your heartache.
All your pain and suffering
Soaking into the carpet.
The blades glinting;tarnished
By past betrayals.
Each scar longer.
Each pain harder.
The razor bites deeper
Opening up your wrists.

Release
Tainted breath escapes through
My cracked, dry lips
As I slide the cold steel
Across my skin.
I watch my life essence
Drip on the tiled floor
While I fill the tub
With red hot water.
I shed my skin
To lose my identity
So I can find my soul.
I slide ever silently
Into my watery grave.
The water envelopes me
Like a lover's embrace.
The heat sinks ever deeper
Into my opened flesh.
My eyelids are heavy
And I can't wait to sleep.
Hear my heartbeat soften,
Feel my breath go limp.
My hair floats around me
Like...
My cracked, dry lips
As I slide the cold steel
Across my skin.
I watch my life essence
Drip on the tiled floor
While I fill the tub
With red hot water.
I shed my skin
To lose my identity
So I can find my soul.
I slide ever silently
Into my watery grave.
The water envelopes me
Like a lover's embrace.
The heat sinks ever deeper
Into my opened flesh.
My eyelids are heavy
And I can't wait to sleep.
Hear my heartbeat soften,
Feel my breath go limp.
My hair floats around me

Plaything
The leather bites into tender flesh
As blood drips from new torn skin.
Pain brings unprecedented pleasure.
Pleasure in a PVC casing
Makes her shiver in anticipation
As her bindings squeeze tighter
Bringing her ever closer
To the long sought after release.
Darkness envelopes her
As the whip caresses her skin;
Striking her to the very core.
She grows sleeker with every
Dirty name he calls her -
She's his slut,
His temptress,
And his dirty little whore.
He pulls her hair
And closes his hands around her feline neck
Cutting...
As blood drips from new torn skin.
Pain brings unprecedented pleasure.
Pleasure in a PVC casing
Makes her shiver in anticipation
As her bindings squeeze tighter
Bringing her ever closer
To the long sought after release.
Darkness envelopes her
As the whip caresses her skin;
Striking her to the very core.
She grows sleeker with every
Dirty name he calls her -
She's his slut,
His temptress,
And his dirty little whore.
He pulls her hair
And closes his hands around her feline neck
