Heart Charade

Heart Charade
Falling once again into the black bottomless pit,
Fated to suffer eternally in my permanent abyss
Failing to fill the void within,
Hollow and shattered all efforts remain meaningless.
Weakened spirit, fragile shell,
Mind clouded, ascending to a final farewell.
But then appeared a gleam of light,
A hope perhaps or a new end in sight
Twinkling bright and pure, it lures me in.
Blinded by my fears, fallen victim to the illusion.
This optimistic gleam of light begins to fade, ...

Rip Current

Rip Current
Alone once again it’s no surprise, it’s nothing new.
Buried in a sea of tears, waiting to hear from you.
Thinking to myself, why do I continue to suffer through.
All the pain and misery you adamantly imbue.
You cause me so much pain, yet I can’t stay away.
I suffer in hopes that you might someday change your ways.
But endlessly you break me down and tear me to shreds.
Blinded by my hearts desires, completely mislead.
I run to you yet again and again.
Knowing that the outcome will not change, ...

Disappear
8-16-12
Sometimes I wish I could just disappear,
Sink and drown into the cold thin air
Because the aching emptiness within has taken over,
My deterioration long ago did begin.
Fragments of my soul, turn to ash and fall like snow
This domineering pain remains, never to let me go.
A wealth of grief and agony are all that I own.
Suffering endlessly each day and night,
Through this dark tormenting nightmare that is my pathetic life.
Countless times I’ve begged for mercy,
That maybe someone out there might hear my cries,
And take away my life to...

Abschied (Final Farewell)
Abschied – 8-6-12
Tried too long to reach for my end,
I look upon my feet as they dangle off the edge
Such dark sadistic thoughts twist endlessly within my head
I never imagined my life would be this way
Over the years nothing much for me has changed.
All in all my suffering remains,
Clouding me from the light of day
Contained in the darkness is where I stay
Painfully struggle and suffer through each day.
Facades of bliss have come, but all too soon did fade
To no avail-
Pain and agony I cannot seem to...

Void
Goodbye now,
So long ago should’ve left.
Continually I remain alone in the shadow of death.
No one to turn to, and nowhere to go.
Painfully staggering down an empty dead-end road.
These broken remains crumble and fall,
This tormented soul never mattered at all.
Disintegrating into dust, as I become the nothingness
Blown away with the wind, forgotten and lost.
Nothing is left not even a crumb.
Fade away into the cold darkness,
Where I’ve become comfortably numb.
*** A work in progress, unfinished. ***

Empty Space
So empty and hollow, yet this heart and soul overflows with pain.
Tell me why everyday is the same, nothing ever seems to change.
No relief or alleviation. No escape from this hell,
No hopes for any relaxation.
No more sunshine, just grey skies drenched in rain.
A continual reminder of my dismay,
It holds me captive, bound and chained.
I feel so sick, my body constantly aches.
Cannot seem to find a cure, no freedom from this pain.
All along I've known I was a mistake.
All alone, I've got nothing to claim.
Except-
The shallow...

Nothing Else Matters
Nothing else matters
7-17-12
Face down in a pool of blood.
All vital signs have long ago faded.
No chances left. In this game of life roulette.
No remorse and no regrets.
No fear, no worries, no more cares to throw away,
For nothing more matters today.
No more breathes to take,
No more heart aches.
No more second chances,
No more romances.
Solved the riddle and paid the price.
No hesitation or time for goodbyes.
What must be done has succeeded.
This wretched soul can now be rested.
No more...

All That Remains
Beyond the lights; in a place so far,
Beyond the pale glow of the moon and stars.
Hidden from the world above,
Alone in the shadows I’ve become.
Shallow breathes and fickle heartbeats tick away with time.
A constant reminder of the torment that is my life.
Efforts failed, lost my will to survive.
Pain has paralyzed me, beyond the possibility to be revived.
Continue to walk the empty streets alone,
Leading the way to my own headstone.
Submerged in sorrows, falling deeper down.
The waves rise and crash over me, as I drown.
Once you...
Beyond the pale glow of the moon and stars.
Hidden from the world above,
Alone in the shadows I’ve become.
Shallow breathes and fickle heartbeats tick away with time.

Continue to walk the empty streets alone,
Leading the way to my own headstone.

Beautiful Death
6-29-12
Beautiful Death
Time grips tight, never letting you forget.
Burdens create chaos within, as you lie in your bed.
An end to this life; such a beautiful threat.
Safety off, as haunting thoughts dance through your head.
This world so corrupt, misery and destruction surround.
A mere moment of silence makes a beautiful sound.
A prisoner of my own despair, forever I am bound.
Dying to live, and living to die.
Constantly whispering true lies.
Day after day nothing at all seems to change, ...

LOST
Destitute of vision, Cascading into confusion.
An enclosed passageway, Or an optical illusion.
Imprisoned by the darkness,
Fear becomes my new accomplice.
A sense of distress, which my eyes cannot see.
The thunderous beat of my heart,
Echoes vigorously, from deep within me.
Any and all clarity has now resigned,
My terror has me chained, lost in the binds.
Hysteria rises and draws near,
Accompanied by close friends; apprehension, panic, and fear.
Senses lost. Senses fall. All senses abandon me.
In the distance a brilliant glow...

Up The wall and Across The Ceiling
Up the wall and across the ceiling
No inspiration, my mind is blank and numb.
Hollow and empty within, I wonder what’s even left of me.
The tiny broken pieces that once were my heart,
Away you have taken them all, no fragment was left.
So selfish in your ways, words cannot even begin to depict.
Just the mere thought of you makes me oh so sick.
Emotions twist about within this empty shell.
Rapidly burning with more fury than hell.
Took away my breathes, and left me in pain.
Recklessly destroying all that comes your way.
Burned the bridges, and...

Anchor Adieu
Anchor Adieu

Voices scream out in pain from within,
Not a single sound is heard, no end to this gloom.
The dark clouds surround and resume,
And stand ground keeping close range.
Never lose sight, avoiding any and all change.
Along for the ride, holding on until the end.
Pistols and swords aim for my throat and head.
Whispering softly and sweetly, the words ringing in my ears.
Rest your weary head now love, let your breathes subside.
Close your tired eyes now dear, time now to die.
Soothe my beckoning urge, the craving of a cure....
