POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Angels We Are Not
Angels we are not
In fire we are born
Demons in disguise we are caught
In this world we are torn
False truths we are taught
Into society we are sworn
Individuality we have lost
In life we no longer morn
We didn't know the cost
Fake lives we all adore
In society's net we are caught
Locked in an endless war
Fallen angels are shot
They beg and ask for more
In this home we all rot
This emblem we all wore
Insignificant we are just a dot
In this land of mine and yours
We reside inside this kind of lot
Locked inside we see...
In fire we are born
Demons in disguise we are caught
In this world we are torn
False truths we are taught
Into society we are sworn
Individuality we have lost
In life we no longer morn
We didn't know the cost
Fake lives we all adore
In society's net we are caught
Locked in an endless war
Fallen angels are shot
They beg and ask for more
In this home we all rot
This emblem we all wore
Insignificant we are just a dot
In this land of mine and yours
We reside inside this kind of lot

You are
Do you ever feel
Like the world is falling apart?
The shadows rise and demand your demise
Life's pressures rest on your mind
You look around only to find that you are blind
Walls can tend to fall
But just crawl through the debris
You don't need to see to be free
Held down by your enemies
They may have the upper hand
But only you know this land
Hold on to your hands
Raise them high
True salvation lies inside
Reside inside those damned walls
Seas of water tend to drown
Waves can topple towers
Just try to swim...

Deaths Retreat
Death leads me to bed
Broken we never mend
We cut and we bleed
This knife is always thirsty
It needs to feed
Silver light above
Raise my hands
Take me
The dark inside
In black we are blind
Vision limited
We cannot find
This cell is our confine
We live in our minds
Eyes alone see
With our lungs we breathe
Take a breath
Feeling the heart bleed
Blood runs in you veins
Only you know the pain
The scars hold memories
Memories slowly recede
In the end the pain will cease
In your pain you will...
Broken we never mend
We cut and we bleed
This knife is always thirsty
It needs to feed
Silver light above
Raise my hands
Take me

In black we are blind
Vision limited
We cannot find
This cell is our confine
We live in our minds
Eyes alone see
With our lungs we breathe
Take a breath
Feeling the heart bleed
Blood runs in you veins
Only you know the pain
The scars hold memories
Memories slowly recede
In the end the pain will cease
In your pain you will...

Dark Black
Dark black
Is all I know
This place is not
The walls all rot
The sky is broken
Sin falls in
We dream of heaven
But live in hell
We are the demons
We know so well
Now listen to your heart
The truth is not hard
The lies will tear you apart
Long nights await
You lay awake
Listening to the day break
Your world falling
Shattering
The home you once knew
Is the hell you hate too
Doors open
And black is all there is
The light is no more
Feel the cold stone floor
Lay your dreams aside
Place...
Is all I know
This place is not
The walls all rot
The sky is broken
Sin falls in
We dream of heaven
But live in hell
We are the demons
We know so well
Now listen to your heart

The lies will tear you apart
Long nights await
You lay awake
Listening to the day break
Your world falling
Shattering
The home you once knew
Is the hell you hate too
Doors open
And black is all there is
The light is no more
Feel the cold stone floor
Lay your dreams aside

When we Dream
When we dream
It seems we are worlds away
The light so far away
Babe, Why can't you stay?
What can't you make my day?
ohhhh, if I had it my wayy
We would be one
Under the same sun
But now we part ways
on the run
Oh babe, why can't you stay?
Was it me?
Ohhh what could it be?
You are the girl of my dreams
My only reality
This day has turned to night
Why did you have to go away?
ohhh babe, why couldn't you stay?
The nights I know
Seem so old
The bed I share is so old

The unholy
You are not lost
Child of god
We are made of gold
Sometimes treasures are taken
Sometimes we are forsaken
Look to the ground, we are hell bound
Be afraid not child of god
The cost matters not
Find your fate in this lake
Of sin, laying beneath the skin
We are sin its what we've always been
The devil's breed are we the seed
Yet the need to bleed
Leads us astray
We lead the unholy
We are not lost
Only lonely
Child of god
We are made of gold
Sometimes treasures are taken
Sometimes we are forsaken
Look to the ground, we are hell bound
Be afraid not child of god
The cost matters not
Find your fate in this lake
Of sin, laying beneath the skin
We are sin its what we've always been
The devil's breed are we the seed
Yet the need to bleed
Leads us astray
We lead the unholy
We are not lost
Only lonely

sleep dear child
Sleep my dear child
The dark can harm you no more
Sleep my dear child
The monster's hunger is no more
The light has come
And the end has just begun
The dark can harm you no more
Sleep my dear child
The monster's hunger is no more
The light has come
And the end has just begun

Be Set Free
Take away your shame
The lies tied, holding the disguise
Must be broken
Look in your eyes
See the beauty inside
Dont look at the clouds
Let the sun shine
Divine light
Sometimes we have to let go
To be set free
Dont go back
Dont hesitate
It'll be too late
Have faith in fate
Go and find
Your home
Dont get lost inside the woods
The monuments that stood
These things seem to be
Controlling everything
Hold on to your pillars
Keep up your walls
Dont be afraid
They wont fall
Dont be afraid...
The lies tied, holding the disguise
Must be broken
Look in your eyes
See the beauty inside
Dont look at the clouds
Let the sun shine
Divine light
Sometimes we have to let go
To be set free
Dont go back
Dont hesitate
It'll be too late
Have faith in fate
Go and find
Your home
Dont get lost inside the woods
The monuments that stood
These things seem to be
Controlling everything
Hold on to your pillars
Keep up your walls
Dont be afraid
They wont fall
Dont be afraid...

cant you see?
Can you tell me
That you see
These things
Swirling and twirling
Dancing and running
Can you hear
The screaming
These voices teaming up
Filling up
The void
Devoid of light
Darkest night
These things
Bring unto me
Most dreaded death
Cant you tell
The denizens of the night
Live in light as well?

A walk in insomia
A walk in insomnia
a garden devoid of sleep
where lost souls go to weep
endless darkness
filling the night
but sleep comes not
till the break of dawn
the early morning light
brings with it the beginning of another day
walking in a dream
feelings rushing over
brought by some unknown wind
lost, confused
a walk in insomnia
is a lifetime in eternity
for the nightmares never end.

crimes
Lies are disguised as truths
monsters seeking our demise
to take our lives
filthy animals we are
locked in a cage
bars made of rage
we are stuck on a stage
our victims the audience
our actions the judge, the jury
its time we pay for our crimes
to be locked in a cell
of our own creation
we tell ourselves
that we are the good ones
they the bad
its awfully sad
how when we’re mad
we harm with our “innocent” hands
made of sin
lies make our skin
clothed in our greed
no wonder we are a lost breed
the last pure...

Old wounds
The wounds that stay
The ones that break
The ones that stay
Day by day
Deep trenches
Gouges upon our flesh
Leaving scars
That go down pretty far
The pain is real
A monster the size of mountains
Bones so cold
Bones so old
Old as humanity itself
The ones that break
The ones that stay
Day by day
Deep trenches
Gouges upon our flesh
Leaving scars
That go down pretty far
The pain is real
A monster the size of mountains
Bones so cold
Bones so old
Old as humanity itself
