POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Beginner
Eyes that have closed forever
cannot see my indiscretions
Ears that no longer hear
cannot listen to my vulgar fantasies
Lips that carry no voice
cannot speak of my atrocities
Skin that does not feel
cannot sense my demented touch
A body that has grown cold
cannot fight my horrid advances
A heart that does not beat
cannot feel the depths of my depravity
A life that no longer exists
cannot fear my rawest desires
Now,
I only wish you would've bled more...
cannot see my indiscretions
Ears that no longer hear
cannot listen to my vulgar fantasies
Lips that carry no voice
cannot speak of my atrocities
Skin that does not feel
cannot sense my demented touch
A body that has grown cold
cannot fight my horrid advances
A heart that does not beat
cannot feel the depths of my depravity
A life that no longer exists
cannot fear my rawest desires
Now,
I only wish you would've bled more...

The Tortured
Darkness embraces the sun
Swallowing the light
Choking away the day
And becoming the night
The air grows cold
Rain falls to the ground
And to this one rule
These beasts are forever bound
They wake with the stars
And sleep through the sun
Only they know
What they have done
Awake every night
Through clouds of icy rain
Doomed to be the Tortured
And to always feel the pain
Their cries are not loud
But can often be heard
This is not some disease
And it cannot be cured
So don't close your eyes ...
Swallowing the light

They wake with the stars
And sleep through the sun
Only they know
What they have done
Awake every night
Through clouds of icy rain
Doomed to be the Tortured
And to always feel the pain
Their cries are not loud
But can often be heard
This is not some disease
And it cannot be cured
So don't close your eyes ...

The Gun
She was just a lonely girl
Tryin' to find her place in this world
You were a cold blooded snake
Slithering your way into her life
Making false promises
And feeding her the sweetest lies
She was just a naive girl
Fallin' for all your words
You wrapped yourself around her
And slowly she was consumed
Oh ooooh oh
My work here's just begun
Oh ooooh oh
Underneath the fallin' sun
Oh ooooh oh
I know what you've done
Oh ooooh oh
There's nowhere you can run
Oh ooooh oh
You can't escape my gun ...

And slowly she was consumed
Oh ooooh oh
My work here's just begun
Oh ooooh oh
Underneath the fallin' sun
Oh ooooh oh
I know what you've done
Oh ooooh oh
There's nowhere you can run
Oh ooooh oh
You can't escape my gun ...

The Void
This void inside of me
Empties so quickly
Makes it hard to see
The me I used to be
I can't remember a time when I felt whole
Maybe it never existed
I remember being torn open and ripped apart
That kind of thing you never forget
I never managed to put myself back together right
Just pieces stuck together by despair and rage
Among other self destructive vices
This void inside of me
Empties so quickly
Makes it hard to see
The me I used to be
If I can't even remember me
Who is this person I used to...

I've Always Known
Scorned and torn asunder
I lay alone and wonder
Is all this blood my own
After everything you gave
I sit upon your grave
with no way to atone
As the days slowly go by
I find that I can't even cry
I just want to be left alone
All my thoughts keep racing
My body won't stop pacing
It aches down into the bone
This isn't how I wanted to be
I knew you never really loved me
It's all you've ever shown
Yet still I tried
And still you lied
This I've always known...
I lay alone and wonder
Is all this blood my own
After everything you gave
I sit upon your grave
with no way to atone
As the days slowly go by
I find that I can't even cry
I just want to be left alone
All my thoughts keep racing
My body won't stop pacing
It aches down into the bone
This isn't how I wanted to be
I knew you never really loved me
It's all you've ever shown
Yet still I tried
And still you lied
This I've always known...

The Mirror
When I look in the mirror
I'm not who I see
I no longer know
who I used to be
This stranger stares back
with a cold empty look
like she can read me
as if I were a book
Even when I turn away
I feel her hardened stare
and the bottomless sadness
that I can no longer bare
Then I fall to the floor
and the tears roll free
Because the ghost in the mirror
has always been me...
I'm not who I see

and the bottomless sadness
that I can no longer bare
Then I fall to the floor
and the tears roll free
Because the ghost in the mirror
has always been me...

No Words
In silence I lie
this emptiness and I
No words need be spoken
It's here that I've found
my thoughts go round and round
No words need be spoken
A comforting chill
the old familiar thrill
as the emptiness swallows me whole
I no longer fight
I don't possess the might
and into the void I return
In silence I lie
this emptiness and I
No words need be spoken
It's here that I've found
my thoughts go round n round
No words need be spoken
I've been here so long
it no longer feels wrong ...

I don't possess the might

Wildfire
Darkened soul and a body like a flame
Your passion burns deep within me
On wintry nights when the air is chilled
Your love rages inside of me like a wildfire
The touch of your hand searing my skin
Your essence filling me like the air inside my lungs
My heart skipping beats as you wash over me in waves
Your perfection quells me like the quiet before the storm
My blood surges with desire as I feel my body tremble
A passionate release within this rapture
Welcoming the storm as it flows over me
Slowly it subsides and I am left in it's wake ...
Your passion burns deep within me
On wintry nights when the air is chilled
Your love rages inside of me like a wildfire
The touch of your hand searing my skin
Your essence filling me like the air inside my lungs
My heart skipping beats as you wash over me in waves
Your perfection quells me like the quiet before the storm
My blood surges with desire as I feel my body tremble
A passionate release within this rapture
Welcoming the storm as it flows over me
Slowly it subsides and I am left in it's wake ...

Flood
Low hangs the moon over the trees tonight
Bathing the forest in it's brilliant grey light
I lie still beneath the starless sky
As a rain drop falls into my eye
A thunderous boom rings out from above
I await the storm I've been dreaming of
The sky bursts open and the rains pour down
My naked body lay drenched on the ground
I watch as the lightning illuminates a cloud
Opening my mouth, I scream aloud
To my surprise, not a sound comes out
Suddenly I'm renewed with dread and doubt
What is this thing I've come to be?
An empty shell...
Bathing the forest in it's brilliant grey light
I lie still beneath the starless sky
As a rain drop falls into my eye
A thunderous boom rings out from above
I await the storm I've been dreaming of
The sky bursts open and the rains pour down
My naked body lay drenched on the ground
I watch as the lightning illuminates a cloud
Opening my mouth, I scream aloud
To my surprise, not a sound comes out
Suddenly I'm renewed with dread and doubt
What is this thing I've come to be?
An empty shell...
