POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
too late
the fire raging in my heart
pain and anguish built up over the years
the brokenness and incompletion of my life
a heart of glass
a world of paper
internally stabbed with the glass
of my shattered heart
my world crumpling
being torn around me
lonliness
bitter tears streak my face
the salt of them lingering on my lips
falling to my knees
screaming
but no one can hear it
just when I think the pain is gone
a wave of depression washes over me
pulls me back under
drowning me once more
my eyes begin to close
I didn't...

immured in my soul
screaming, clawing at the walls
I am immured by my guilt
imbibing chemicals, I hope to perish
as rash as my decision is
I can't escape this hell I've placed myself in
to ablution my sins seems near impossible
a want for escape is mandatory
I wish on a star to no avail
praying over candles with the same outcome
the deepest levels of Hell cast me out
my soul shall be forever stuck in purgatory

just before you sleep
the bitter poison
sung of a lullaby
rose petals scattered
discard all fragrance of death
a perfume to persuade the mind
that all is well
the sweet kiss that awakens
from all thoughts of murder and gore
silence of clouds rolling by
only to be interuppted by the clash
of thunder and lightning streaking the sky
pain, as another scar is set in place
to form on her perfect porcelain skin
the sorrowful tears that dry on one's cheek
as the eulogy is complete
so lay down to sleep my little one
close your eyes and dream

Shifting Shadows
shifting shadows
in the night
creature to human
creature to creature
human to human
shadow to shadow
one thing becoming another
we are of one race
the human race
yet shape-shifters
in the darkness
we thrive easiest
beast and human
the hunted and the hunter
coexisting as one
in the night
creature to human
creature to creature
human to human
shadow to shadow
one thing becoming another
we are of one race
the human race
yet shape-shifters
in the darkness
we thrive easiest
beast and human
the hunted and the hunter
coexisting as one

life in pain
I can't help but watch
as the blood creeps
from under my skin
as it turns from blue to red
a scar starts to form
from the moment the blade
touches my flesh
I'm taken by a sensation
a longing for hope and trust
a chance on love
and no chance on a prayer
I sink to the floor
finding nothing there
I curl up and live
live the only way I know how
I live in fear
I live a life alone in pain
I live only to die another day.

who cares?
My heart is broken, my soul shattered.
A dark cloud hangs over my head.
It pours fire from it's mouth and consumes me in it's flames.
I cut myself deep at the wrists screaming in pain.
As my ashes lay on the floor where I once stood, my blood continues to flow through.
The ground shakes and the earth cracks, splitting in two.
My ashes fall through to the fiery depths below.
The earth closes leaving a cloud of smoke hanging in the air in the form of my broken heart.
My soul floats like an orb of light to the cloud of smoke and it all disappears, like...
