POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Callous
Tumultuous silence
Like ice over fire
Cool, calm, collected
Burning with passion
An unknown treasure
Buried underneath stoicism
Don't ask, won't tell
Quietly waiting for affection
Not wanting attention
Blind to self
Observer of all
Hiding inside
Like ripe passion fruit
Yearning but withholding
Masochist
Taking pleasure in pain
Yet never happy
Never satisfied
Like ice over fire
Cool, calm, collected
Burning with passion
An unknown treasure
Buried underneath stoicism
Don't ask, won't tell
Quietly waiting for affection
Not wanting attention
Blind to self
Observer of all
Hiding inside
Like ripe passion fruit
Yearning but withholding
Masochist
Taking pleasure in pain
Yet never happy
Never satisfied

Miss Titled
Gnarled mind, scarred skin
Stretched over taught and thin
Illuminating, morbid and bright
Gripping hands uncomfortably tight
Nails biting into the flesh
Pushing your mind beyond the rest
Dig the anger like a hole
Falling faster, on we go
Silent we hold on tighter
Wanting oblivion, no more a fighter
Let me leave my moniker of pain
Welts of pleasure, quietly insane
Corroded smile, crayola and gloss
Laid bare and open for the lost
Leaving trickles of misery in my wake
Never truthful but not altogether fake

Humanoid
The rhythmic beat is just a facade
There is no life within this cold metal frame
Cracked and crumpled, collecting dust
A mechanical heart full of emotional rust
Forgotten like a dream upon waking
Always a giver but not much for taking
There is no feeling beneath the false skin
The illusion of a person is the delusion within
Reminiscent of a computer rather than a brain
Wiring malfunctions inside the mainframe
Twisted and tortured ruminations of the past
What stares back from the mirror is Humanoid at best
There is no life within this cold metal frame
Cracked and crumpled, collecting dust
A mechanical heart full of emotional rust
Forgotten like a dream upon waking
Always a giver but not much for taking
There is no feeling beneath the false skin
The illusion of a person is the delusion within
Reminiscent of a computer rather than a brain
Wiring malfunctions inside the mainframe
Twisted and tortured ruminations of the past
What stares back from the mirror is Humanoid at best

My Lover
Show me wonder, show me greed
Slit my wrists and watch me bleed
take my heart and rape my soul
Break me down to make you whole
Look at me with love and scorn
You're lost inside both broke and torn
Through the anger love did grow
Kiss me now and kill me slow
Pilfer my money, subdue my mind
Confused and twisted up inside
Kiss my lips, touch my breast
Rip my heart out of my chest
There's nothing of me left for you
Eyes fade blank, lips turn blue
You want more but inside I'm dead
Laying there upon your bed
Slit my wrists and watch me bleed
take my heart and rape my soul
Break me down to make you whole
Look at me with love and scorn
You're lost inside both broke and torn
Through the anger love did grow
Kiss me now and kill me slow
Pilfer my money, subdue my mind
Confused and twisted up inside
Kiss my lips, touch my breast
Rip my heart out of my chest
There's nothing of me left for you
Eyes fade blank, lips turn blue
You want more but inside I'm dead
Laying there upon your bed

Stranger with a familiar face
i realized I'm different
used to think i was the same
the person in the mirror
is a person i cant name
the heart is torn asunder
emotions spilling out
Ive become a stranger
in my very own house
i couldn't save myself
I'm drifting out to sea
the person in my memories
is a person i cant be
the anger carved in skin walls
i cant hide from the light
there was a time of peace
but now everything's a fight
Ive kept the darkness hidden
though a shadow lingers in my eyes
but you wouldn't know the difference
between the truth...

I come to you
i come to you with my sorrows, you hold my hand and say
this world is better off with you, cant you just stay
i run to the other room crying, counting down the tears
wanting to end the urges, wanting to end the fears
you come to me with trials, bloodstains on your hands
you're beautiful despite them, trials gave to you your brands
stay with me a little longer, we'll make it through the night
hold my hand, dont fear my darling, we can make it through alright
with uncertainty and confusion, i look you in the eyes
ive seen too much of darkness and...

Distorted
Here I am for all to see
but nothing is as it seems
I am the darkness, I am the plight
Anger all day, pain all night
I'm someone you don't want to find
Contagious sickness of the mind
Why must I fake a smile?
My happiness is futile
Twist my arm behing my back
Ridicule me until I crack
Put my heart into a blender
Force me to surrender
Blank expression on my face
I'm nothing to you but a waste
Twisted smile is really a frown
Berate me as I slowly drown
Just pull the damn trigger
Diseased and getting sicker...

Bit by bit and bite by bite
eaten alive by all their might
Tickling razors, nip of steel
Hollow body that no longer feels
Crimson, silky, shiny pain
Nails that grab, fight in vain
Twisted lips, devouring teeth
Lost inside, broken and beat
Feed the hunger with every tear
Tired mind consumed by fear
Lick the wounds, struggle more
Shattered heart, bruised and sore
Frightening creatures screaming inside
Terrible monsters scratch the hide
Pushed and pulled, kicked and shoved
Not unnoticed but not totally loved.
