Save me from the devilish flames,
snickering and dancing in the bloody war.
Spite and gloom rife and ready.
Tallies awakening the sleepless nights,
I'm fucking fearful for they are close,
useless Prozac no matter the dose.
Biting and burning me through the red moon.
A crispy insect to the doom,
enemy and victim to the storm,
only blood lust as the loom.
Many eternities spent in the haunted dorm,
has really fucked my soul up.

I'm dreaming in the day,
at night, I'm awake in full sway.
The voices mutter to me.
Photos. Holidays. Friends. Freaks.
I can touch the sounds that I see,
as they tease me in glee.
Some familiar, some not known,

When your laughter and tears stay exhausted.
When you've always been awoken by the dread.
When you've lead a myriad of deceased lives.
When the retrospective haunts you.
When the introspective suffocates you. ...

There I lay,comfortably on my broken bed,waiting for your return.
My dear, where are you?
Without you, I've become a vexed void.
Pessimism gripped onto an endless eternity.
I honestly hate having you in my mind.
You don't take notice of my silent screams.

There I sat, looking out at the dreamy daylight.
My dear, where are you?
I feel brutally betrayed,
by the scathing and scarring promises not kept.
But you don't care, for it was all contrived.
And I don't care, for it was all a craving.

There I lay, screaming in the sheets,...
