cherished
Interesting sorrow it brings so much depth
piercing your soul with a look
haunted feelings communicating sadness
to touch the aether and disturb its restlessness
seducing the moment when you awaken to the need of it
When it passes and the melancholy resides, you realize your happiness
a place so deep within needs sorrow
it speaks of things not understood on the conscious level
interpreting your emotions
at a level not scratched by surface conversations
emptiness means you will be filled
Loneliness beckons others closer...

caress
loneliness of soul I'm missing something
wandering spirit return to me
caress the feeling
sensing you are near
covet the art of forgetting
it hurts too much to remember
listless day give me invitation
to share in celebration with your earth-bound children
remorseful shadow cultivating sorrow within me
draw nearer so I will know the immortal
part me from my brothers and sisters
and let me forget what it is to be human
painful understanding I am terribly different
with thoughts of where will I go
cast...

real
hateful day I'm hurting so bad I scream
could skin feel any tighter
claustrophobic in my body
needful ache I want out in the worst way
My soul doesn't fit in this form
It contains me like a prison
Art is escaping
strangulation of soul is capturing me this way
my need is up and out
manifesting in several dopplegangers at once
freedom of expression releasing my pain
hurtful understanding I was abandon here
This visage doesn't suit me
doesn't represent who I am
my soul resists the urge to discard it ...

selfless affliction in the halls of a masochist
breaking my bits of self
You snort my soul like an addiction
Seeing you clearly was something I could never do
dealing with the hurt because it was deserved
after all, I need you more than you did me
colliding with the day and arguing with the night
Chaos rules, and I seem to like it
because I always asked for more
masochistic pleasure in being told no
The cold shoulder only made me bolder
pushing on you
No one would refuse me
if you treat me well, I will become indifferent
needy affliction I serve up my...

gruff
needful covet and I crave like the devil herself
seeking your affection, but you withhold
drinking me dry of what I have to offer
my heart set aside my soul in flight
running for cover when you get mad
affliction so cold I shiver
Still, I come back for more
my passion grows heated
Your love is stone
titillating my ego, you stroke when you want
all to get a masochistic response
and I answer softly to your gruff
Sadistic greed phenes for me
my sex seduces you every time
You hate me for it
...

backpedal
culted silence, knowing when to quiet
never understanding I ramble on
looking perplexed by your empty stare
my soul couldn't make sense of it
so I filled the crater between us with my uncomfortable feelings
discern the loneliness it was an emptiness I was used to
bringing intense feelings to the table
to be dealt nothingness in return
halted and stunted half truths for honesty
Backwash for passion
seediness of knowledge for wisdom
You blaspheme my sacredness
and maligned my vulnerability
It's...

sleepy
corrupted rhythm I can't get out of this thought process
insidious need calls, and I want to get high
scary visions haunt in dreams I do
succumbing to my crave
sleepily crawling through each day
It is with no small effort I obstain
sulking while everyone talks fast
appeasing their demons
while mine starve
Deadly last rites, should I fold
They'll bury me in shame
But what a way to go
The autopsy will read her heart explode
no one would weep after all it was my own damn fault
So I stay clean,...

unapologetically deepunderground was love
the shadows have collected tending their garden grey
it is a sacred place to be outlived
the mists collect and rise
carrying their words with them
singing as they go, farewell
still some hardy dwellers have stayed
to tend to melancholy and sorrow
to see the garden grieve
deep under the ground, they were allowed to be themselves
Surely nowhere else would be as forgiving
with politically correct speech being the norm
They know only unfiltered honesty
real emotions sewn so carefully of grief, joy, and love ...

say something
I'm giving up because little has been said after all these years
to make me hold on
my soul would have followed you anywhere
then one day my value fade
taking it in stride
my star didn't shine anymore
desolate feeling not desired
No one has anything to say to me
I'm not that important
and I shouldn't take it personally
Everyone's cheerleader
from the backgrounds praising you
to be left in the doldrums of nothing was real
my heart believed in you
My apologies if I let you down
My name became unpopular ...

alter
my sorrow wanes then peaks
no control for it, it grows
my soul grieves for broken days
the ones that alienated me from my friends
seeking shelter in excuses
They don't understand
if they knew I was in so much pain
it they felt on their skin
maybe we'd meet eye to eye
a tortured existence is my lot
anxiety turns and panic attacks leave me lost
in a maze of strange faces
chasing me home
where demons taunt
my sacredness, my only safety
tainted never my mental illness...

Gaze
a melody plays quietly
and I agree deep within with the sentiments
I've been here before
So, why am I so perplexed?
wondering at the same stumbling blocks
tripwires of faith getting me tangled
problems I've faced before and never conquered
I'm left kicking my ass damn it I did it again
Socrates of knowledge
philosophy of none
my mind reels, and I open doors
and as Nietzsche's said
careful gazing into the abyss
It might just be gazing into you
so with questions posed
Answers are given but...

fantasy
caressing the notion I open my dreams
with the fact fiction is better
My mind is great at creating alternate worlds out of this one
Sweet fantasy, nothing wicked can come this way
where men don't skeet and women don't fade
Interesting diction: our words are listened to, not just heard
taken to that sacred place where anything goes
here your intellect loved mine
and I wasn't held to the standard what does she look like
I'm a faded flower used to beguiling men
who doesn't understand I don't appear the same
reckless truth,...
