Burden
Rusting needles chased by barbed wire through putrid lips.
For all that is said was not but destruction and cancer.
Hooks to remove the center of fears and idiotic thoughts.
For all that has been birthed here is not but trauma and pain.
Abandonment, left to feed the vultures, cast away.
For I am but a burden, tethered to crackling limbs.
Desired not, for my soul or my heart.
Desired not, for loyalty and truth.
Desired not, for my love and vulnerability.
Noticed only as a failed attempt, a...

Nearing the end endlessly
Another rose slips through bloodied fingertips, eyes swollen, heart shattered. A dark cloud swallows the mind and all is lost again. Sharp steel penetrating the soul, what's left atleast... love is not meant for this one. This beauty not meant for his eyes, this touch not meant for his flesh, for he is marked and carries with him failure. Consumed by the broken, left to rot until the next is hungry. Foolish to consider being someone, knowing the nothing that he is... empty flesh and bone waiting for death. To sleep forever, tired and lonely this soul belongs to no one and has no home. Again...

Here comes the pain.
As you lay intoxicated, partially naked on the floor, I can't help to wonder what all of my torture is for.
Tonight I learned too much, all because I knew too little. What kind of twisted fate is this... my eyes water and tremble.
How can such beauty inflict so much pain, I lie motionless here, another foolish victim claimed.
You looked me in my eyes and told me things that I believed, I hung on everyword, every syllable, every breath as you decieve.
Further down the hole I went because I believed in all the lies, lured to the mouth of a serpent,...

Death is calling
I feel closer to death. Closer than i've ever been. I don't want to take another breath. My soul's journey has reached its end. I am going to give up finally, My kind has died long ago. My love is not worth anything, I believe it now and so I'll go. Why was it my fate to live this shell of a life. Why was I born to suffer so alone, crying myself to sleep at night. I don't want to live anymore, and no ones knows my time is running out, everyone will pretend thy loved me when I'm gone but not a single tear will come out. One day I will figure out when and how I end my life, but hopefully I die...

Forever and again the same.
I found the very bottom, and beckoned for the skies. I've seen beyond the surface and percieved you through your disguise. The same haunting energy that again brings me to my knees, the same beautiful resonance, harmonic to my disease. When I was ready to take my life and end it all for sweet release, you came with your angelic energy and brought me again to my feet. But knowing who you are I know this always ends in pain, again and again these fucking results are always the same. I've finally given up as I've killed this part of me. Ripped my own heart out and tossed into the depths of the...

The unlucky one
I am the unlucky one.
I have been chosen to heal wounds and bring light to the worlds darkness.
I am the unlucky one.
I have been chosen to be there when no one else will be, sturdy and strong.
I am the unlucky one.
I have been chosen to carry all of your pain and anguish with open arms and a smile on my face.
I am the unlucky one.
I have been chosen to bring love and hope to those who desperately need it, knowing it will never be wanted.
I am the unlucky one.
I want to be the darkness that those in pain acknowledge. ...

Whatever.
Buzzing in my head... digital fissures behind my eyes. Entertainment for you all. Click bait... You barely scratch the surface of who I am. Tonight I think about my death. Tonight I think about my life. Choices have come and gone, lives have been lost and found. I wish I could feel again....something. Anything. (This was a draft I guess I never published.)

Homosapien Gumbo
A casualty of evolution I am, crazy insane. Enigmatic sporadic visions running loose in my brain. I've seen alot and I've seen nothing at all compared to time. Climbed the stairway to heaven and looked Cerberus in it's eyes. Shuffling back and forth I express things I don't feel... you follow. A blind man looking to figure out what is real, you follow... Interpreting your own version of life in this hollow space and just in case of emergency please don't break glass. Though if you feel inclined to deny we're all insane please remain seated, fasten your safety belts and fly away.

Faux free will
I have yet to escape the wrath of my lifes biggest regret, allowing penetration beyond the walls of my heart and my head. Recuperation by day, endless wars by night, torn between two realities I struggle to hold myself together, though my wounds are sewn tight... so it seems.
Why hold on to something that burns like metal red hot. If we have the ability to choose then I can forget this thing, can I not? I can ignore the beating in my chest when I accidentally think of you there, i can fall asleep when it's time instead of staring blankly into thin air. I can choose to continue breathing...

Two steps forward, three steps back, one step forward
Bloodied and bruised dazed and confused I stumble into this tomb. I remove this jade and steel armor exposing the past wounds. Crawling towards my final resting place I pause for just a moment, is this how the story ends for me, fading away with no atonement? Precisely at this moment something flickers far in the distance, the light of a thousand candles moves swiftly blinding my vision. No longer am I surrounded by darkness and vivid dipictions, of life without connection I feel the warmth of angelic intervention. Someone has heard my suffering and desires to bring me life, standing on my...

The pane of desire
Viewing the world through the eyes of glass has become a disheartening task. Equivalent to living as a liar with a sharp tongue behind a mask. Miraculously notorious for being transparent and clear. Miraculously with honesty I invoke naught but fear. Though you can see a limitless world through this pane. You will never see or understand this soul shattering pain. For I am indeed fractured, chipped and worn. This well preserved surface reflects all of your beauty so my flaws are easier to ignore. Maybe in the right light my true self can be seen, however the sun and time cannot be controlled,...

What was wished vs what was felt.
To rip myself of this flesh, be my greatest desire. Sever what I am born of, tear apart and burn with fire. Sickened that I've lived this twice, and knew of the final price, stuck my heart in guillotine again pulled the lever for another slice. I can hear my heart I can hear my pain I can hear regret I can feel disdain. Stuff another wound fill it with a reason, trick yourself it's fine wander on believing, that you'll be ok, live another day, breathe another breath, suffocate to death this is all thats left, left in front of right live another night die another death.... how many times can I...
