POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Tears of the damned
Catching the wasted tears
Of the tortured
After living your worst fears
In hell's orchard
Picking pain's flower
Watch the pure cower
At the sight of our grotesque features
We are the dark's creatures
You've offered your help, so sincere
But no one ever dared come near
They were too afraid
Of the game they played
Of all they didn't know
Of all that didn't have a golden glow
Of all that can't be explained
Of all that can never be gained
And so we never got our chance
Couldn't even get a glance
Of the golden...
Of the tortured
After living your worst fears
In hell's orchard
Picking pain's flower
Watch the pure cower
At the sight of our grotesque features
We are the dark's creatures
You've offered your help, so sincere
But no one ever dared come near
They were too afraid
Of the game they played
Of all they didn't know
Of all that didn't have a golden glow
Of all that can't be explained
Of all that can never be gained
And so we never got our chance
Couldn't even get a glance

Eyes of the Reaper
Blood flowing
Eyes glowing
Fear growing
Hear them scream
Together as a chorus, a team
Mouth an evil grin
Taking your last breath
Eyes full of sin
He is the embodiment of death
Down to hell he drags
The souls of those to whom the devil will tend
With infinite fire he brags
Your brutal death will never end
For eternity you will burn
In never-ending flames
And some day you will learn
That this is how you pay for never-ending games
Red eyes of the reaper
Glare down as he cuts deeper
A wasted life...

whispering shadow
I sit alone
Freezing to the bone
And listen to the voices
Whispering answers and choices
On this night
There is no light
Not a glimmer in sight
In this whispering dark
Not even a spark
Sit and listen as if insane
To the only thing that can ease the pain
Listen to the grumble low
Listen to the voice of the shadow
Freezing to the bone
And listen to the voices
Whispering answers and choices
On this night
There is no light
Not a glimmer in sight
In this whispering dark
Not even a spark
Sit and listen as if insane
To the only thing that can ease the pain
Listen to the grumble low
Listen to the voice of the shadow

my cry for you
Ripping apart
My scarred heart
My soul is tearing
It's what I get for caring
Why do you do this
My point you miss
Are you even listening to what I say
Nothing is okay
You're killing yourself
Throwing away your health
For what, why
Why do you let yourself cry
Night after night
The walls grow tight
As your tears fall
He doesn't even care at all
With words like whips
Your emotion he rips
Makes you think the fault is yours
As you weep behind closed doors
As your friend I feel your pain
And...

inner belief
In yourself you should believe
Do not worry, do not grieve
Great you will be
Just wait and see
Keep going, never cease
And soon your abilities will increase
You will be alright
With a future bright
Believe in yourself
Refuse to just sit on the shelf
You cannot be afraid to fail
Or in your coffin you'll hit the nail
You're better than you think
You'll see that in an eye's blink
If only you would try
And not be afraid to cry
Ticking away the time
What an irritating chime
Stop being scared
Tackle life...
Do not worry, do not grieve
Great you will be

Keep going, never cease
And soon your abilities will increase
You will be alright

Believe in yourself
Refuse to just sit on the shelf
You cannot be afraid to fail
Or in your coffin you'll hit the nail
You're better than you think
You'll see that in an eye's blink
If only you would try

Ticking away the time
What an irritating chime
Stop being scared

absently wondering
Will sadness prevail?
Will our ship set sail?
Daily we wonder
Will we go under?
You can't let go of what you don't possess.
Even if it's just one big mess
It's there none the less
Why are we letting go?
It's happening, it's torturously slow
Now, under the moon's glow
I sit and wonder
We're going under
Will this stop?
Will it be a flop?
Why are we drifting apart?
Were we doomed from the start?
Can't let go of something that's not there
But you are where?
It's you I'm trying to find
Please don't see...

night's fright
The sound of a fight
On a dark night
See your face, a blur
Hear the rustle, as leaves stir
We are the night's creatures
Our faces without features
Are to be seen when you dream
We laugh while you scream
We follow you everywhere
Never breaking our stare
As we become your greatest nightmare
On a dark night
See your face, a blur
Hear the rustle, as leaves stir
We are the night's creatures
Our faces without features
Are to be seen when you dream
We laugh while you scream
We follow you everywhere
Never breaking our stare
As we become your greatest nightmare

what do you do?
What do you do
When everyone hates you
When you deserve to cry
When you deserve to die
No one is who they seem
No one can hear you scream
Losing your mind
Trying to be kind
No success
Your life a mess
When everything is wrong
And all that saves you is a song
When everyone hates you
When you deserve to cry
When you deserve to die
No one is who they seem
No one can hear you scream
Losing your mind
Trying to be kind
No success
Your life a mess
When everything is wrong
And all that saves you is a song

Dear puppeteer
Dear puppeteer
Why are you never near
Cruel your stare
While you claim that you care
You say it's about respect
But I'm nothing more than a project
You don't care about me
Just what others see
I'm judged by you
Because you think it's what others do
So you tear me apart
cause you don't appreciate true art
Too intelligent to be what I want
Cause it's a faze, just another stunt
Sometimes you act kind
And I wonder, are you blind?
I fade away
But yet I stay
Hoping for a better day
Why are you never near
Cruel your stare
While you claim that you care
You say it's about respect
But I'm nothing more than a project
You don't care about me
Just what others see
I'm judged by you
Because you think it's what others do
So you tear me apart
cause you don't appreciate true art
Too intelligent to be what I want
Cause it's a faze, just another stunt
Sometimes you act kind
And I wonder, are you blind?
I fade away
But yet I stay
Hoping for a better day

Lost
Tortured beyond repair
Lost in despair
Broken to pieces
The pain never ceases
You can put on a mask
While with happiness they bask
You never seem to be hole
Ripped and Torn is your soul
You are alone
Cold to the bone
People all around
Scream, but no one hears a sound
Lost in your nightmarish past
Praying each second is your last
Lost in despair
Broken to pieces
The pain never ceases
You can put on a mask
While with happiness they bask
You never seem to be hole
Ripped and Torn is your soul
You are alone
Cold to the bone
People all around
Scream, but no one hears a sound
Lost in your nightmarish past
Praying each second is your last

alone in the masses
Alone in the masses
Time painstakingly passes
The presence of thousands you feel
But no one is real
Around the room you pace
Hoping to see a familiar face
You don't know where to go
Time seems evermore slow
You wish to be anywhere
Anywhere, but there
When laughter becomes evil
And your every mistake is their thrill
Time painstakingly passes
The presence of thousands you feel
But no one is real
Around the room you pace
Hoping to see a familiar face
You don't know where to go
Time seems evermore slow
You wish to be anywhere
Anywhere, but there
When laughter becomes evil
And your every mistake is their thrill
