A beautiful rose
Stood alone in a garden
Her song was sweet but her thorns were poison.

She longed for a being of value
To smell her sweet fragrance
Though when push came to shove,

They all ran from her fierceness
Cowardice men
She could see through.

Spiked, dangerous thorns
Adorn this beautiful rose,
Come to close you will be impaled,

Never touching the beauty
That dwells in her petals
So lovely, so graceful,

All were enamored by her siren's call
Under her spell, they...

Invisible eyes watch me    
Disect me, talk to me    
With muted mouths    
Barely heard above    
A whisper.  
   
I don't wish any evil to linger but it does    
Like a cloud over my head    
Pushing and prodding    
Until I connect with them.    
   
Invisible eyes so greedily feasting    
Always want a show    
Love it when i'm grieving.    
   
Invisible ears always listening    
Know when i'm afraid    
On the inside trembling.    
   
Invisible tongues    
Cut me like...

Razor's edge pressed to my throat
A thin line of crimson
Words bleeding onto the page.

Feelings swirled in blood
Making an abstract poem
One born of pain.

Razor slashes deep at my heart
Anger makes it gush
Bleeding out my rage.

Red takes center stage
Filling my days, my nights
With fantasies I can't control.

Part of me so evil
Wanting to let go
I stand tottering on the razor's edge.

Soon will come sweet death
I will swim in the abyss
With my lover, who knows me...
