POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Too dead to die
as the sun eclipses behind my eyes
i can only see whats so far out of reach
disaster is moving along its course
i hope to feel it breaking free some day
its not sapose to be so hard
crushing down on top of me
suddenly it numbs away
leaves me clawing at the door
restless i need to try....
to understand why im alive
breathing in so deep
the trials of day to day
cant believe im still holding on
my viens have closed
my grip is gone
life cant hold this any farther...

Demon
i watch these tears fall in succcession
each one leaving me a little colder
a little more dead
skin feels like ice
shiver as the sinsation rolls down my spine
heart cut open wondering how long ago i felt it beat
held in my hands
wishing i possesed the will to sew it back into my chest
fold back this y insision pinned back
this hollow cripped of shattered bones
left me here in this rotting state
no sentament for the weak
eyes change
color fades
living this day to day...

Cancer
tortured by every passing second
tearing through my mind like a tidal wave of distruction
leaving me stranded and lost
forgetting how to breathe
siering pain spills across my skin
wounded and licking out the poison thats seeping
crashendo of my perspective
scratching its way thoroug my eyes
and i cant look away
consumed with it
i cant see past it
somethings dead inside of me
grasping for a reason
a reason why i still see what was never there
hopeless and...

Aimless
these days and nights are leading me down into a hole
from wich there is no escape
your face still haunts me
still you run
run so fast from the beating encased inside this crypt of bones
slowly winding down
spiraling out of control
tears will follow
endless it cycles
bleeds inside my mind
but i cant find you were you've gone
and i cant follow
so here we are
left with this dagger dug into my chest
spilling out all that i use to hold so dear
cut...

Nothing beneath
your driving nails in my heart
killing me with every sentence you speak
look what we've become
unraveled like the thread used to sew our eyes shut
cinched down in crossing patterns
color draining out and down
crimson drops
impulses stagger across our minds
a gun with itchy trigger in your hand
begging for a scratch
inverted entry wound
painting the walls and cieling
cast pattern of a life
so beat down so broken
keep trying to reach you
i just dont know whats...

In remission
i feel it sinking in
the blade has centered itself were i use to feel hope
demons dance behind these eyes of sorrow
can barely resist the temptation
the dying urge to cut them out
compassion has almost lost its luster
knees buckle beneath me
giving out in mid step
face down
lying dead in my own fucking tracks
getting harder to breathe
desperate and loosing sight
not even bracing for what is soon to come crashing down
head down
just lead me to the slaughter
it...

Disposal of self
take my eyes
i dont want to use them anymore
all they show is pain
misguiding views
that only lead you to loss
trying to abstruct my sight
to black out this misery
creeping its way through the cracks between my fingers
even blind i would be left to see the world i once new
through my minds eye
shrouded by memories that once tore my heart to shreads
cant you see it ?
cant you feel it trickling down
built myself up into a form thats only function is what i can offer
getting nothin in return
but isnt this what you've always...

down and out
save yourself
there feeding you all lies dear
i know its hard to hear
that there modives are all evil
but believe me whaen i say
theres nothing in it for you at all
there just playing off your deepest nightmare
of being lost among the crowd
that youve been trying so hard to distance yourself from
safe to say
in part its what youve always wanted
but how much of yourself are you willing to sell?
take their road
no telling were it might lead you
might end up stranded
in a place you dont want to be
then its too late ...

outside your view
grind down the bones on edge
fill theroom with marrow dust and sharp oobjects
swaying like a pendgelum slow in lowering
to sever your neck
one layer of skin at a time
watching as its coming twords you
cut down
cut down
cut down
knowing it wont stop
it cant be stoped
i will watch
i will watch
this is atrosity in true form
an undo process
driven by nessesity to inflict a common view
let this be the day
let this be the hour
i will watch the blood pour out your neck
covered in it
covered in the filth ...

Lurking
the things that make your quiver
overlaping evil intentions
subtle undertones
im sure your wondering
about the shallow graves lurking in the fog
just the rain wont fill them
i never ment to see you like this
so rest your head
sleep among the flowers
they grow in even the most unfertile soil
your voice is so misleading
it pulls me twards it then tryes to kill me
stabbing with desire
coffin of dirt
heave it ontop of the love
ontop of everything that was once part of us both
deception has all but taken my...

beauty within hate filled eyes
its in that second it hits you
like a ton of bricks
its in that moment you noticed
why the earth is incircled by the moon
lucid and tormented
bleeding out the mouth
bairly breathing
still coherent enough to claw your way back out of the grave you've been digging
cutting the roots that have been growing like viens into the soil
crashing into the rocks like waves on jagged shore lines
desolete fearing what might be waiting around the corner
blurring the lines of your perspective
eating at your soul
trying to find beauty within hate...

far beyond repair
these abrasions on my heart
are starting to wear thereway through
the walls are buldging out about to rupture
spill out the last bit of hope i have left
pin back my flesh
let it seep out of my chest
its warmth never felt so cold
streaming down my arms
stairing at my blood soaked hands
numb lost in lifes confusion
my hour glass is out of sand
shattered on the ground
cut me at the roots
stem this plauge eating me down to the bone
breaking me into
pulling at the thread that unravels my soul
exposed nerves arcing...
