The Devils Sonnet
The moon, it whispers
such violent things,
the devils sonnet,
beelzebub sings.
Through my window,
upon my bed,
it’s beams they taunt me,
this concert of dread.
The sweetest melody
of chaos and fear.
For when the moon
whispers, the demons
draw near.
such violent things,
the devils sonnet,
beelzebub sings.
Through my window,
upon my bed,
it’s beams they taunt me,
this concert of dread.
The sweetest melody
of chaos and fear.
For when the moon
whispers, the demons
draw near.

Don't take your life away
Don't take your life away look for me,
If you want me to stay by your side I'll be,
That knife in your hand can you put it down,
Why do you think it'd be better of you weren't around?
Don't take your life away,
Is my love enough to make you stay?
We are dying while we're living,
Time is flying moments are missing,
Those pills you took can you spit them out,
Take another look you're covered in doubt,
Don't take your life away,
Atleast not right away,
How many times have you thought,
If you were dead...
If you want me to stay by your side I'll be,
That knife in your hand can you put it down,
Why do you think it'd be better of you weren't around?
Don't take your life away,
Is my love enough to make you stay?
We are dying while we're living,
Time is flying moments are missing,
Those pills you took can you spit them out,
Take another look you're covered in doubt,
Don't take your life away,
Atleast not right away,
How many times have you thought,
If you were dead...

Lost In Space
Besieged the stars upon the sky
Painted dark as comets cry
I wish I may, try as I might
I cannot wish on stars tonight
Extinguishing novae
Apocalypse decays
Constellations erased
As I'm lost in space
Painted dark as comets cry
I wish I may, try as I might
I cannot wish on stars tonight
Extinguishing novae
Apocalypse decays
Constellations erased
As I'm lost in space

A Word From Death
So,” Death says.
“Yes, please, now. I have the courage now.”
The tremor in my voice betrays me.
I hold out my hand. Pleading.
The blackness under Death’s hood watches me.
They say nothing.
It means everything.
“Just let them find out gently. Please let them heal well, and we - I - will just… go. Now. Get ahead of the rush.”
My arm aches from begging for their hand.
“Please. I will go back to being a coward soon. But right now. Right now you can take me. Willingly.”
My throat has...
“Yes, please, now. I have the courage now.”
The tremor in my voice betrays me.
I hold out my hand. Pleading.
The blackness under Death’s hood watches me.
They say nothing.
It means everything.

The Waiting Game
I sit on apartment patio
iron railing chipping
framing neighbors
coming home from work
in twilight gray and soft and purple
loneliness eats away at
what is left of me
this time of day
after the coffee has ravished my flesh and soul
and the same chronic emptiness
abandonment issues
first it was bipolar depression
then borderline personality disorder
a flurry of titles I fondled in my fingers
OCD
PTSD
and all I know is
I cry daily
and you can never show me...

no, Google, I'm not suicidal
I googled
"what to do
when you've given up
on life"
and it gave me a list
of suicide hotlines
and articles on positive
mental health practices
I didn't know how
to explain to a search engine
that I'm not suicidal
I'm not looking for that kind of exit
I'm lost
I'm lonely
I'm aimless
Everything feels pointless
I've hit the edge of depression
and kept going into the abyss

Raving, Not Drowning
Trying to pick myself up,
Having quaffed from a demons cup
Drowning in a puddle
Of quicksand
No sandcastles in the sky
No haven
From the ranting and raving ravens
Dark clouds
Whilst incandescent streaks
Of sunshine
Await
To break through the cracks
Proffering vague glimmers of false hope
As i slowly sink into the quagmire.....

Dead Inside
to say i'm utterly
devastated is an
understatement
i feel crushed
The day after
i saw our home
will be closing
its doors i was
told Two of my
supportworkers
will have to stop
due to protocols
and regulations
the government
who Wants more
money & power
they always do
it means i'll lose
3/4 of my support
system including
the deep site my
lifeline & you guys
everything familiar
feels like i'm walking
on...

Left Alone
Your life may have ended
But my nightmares did not
You abandoned me here
To fight them off alone
Lucky you get to rest
Whilst i cry in the battle
Of the night
The days are blended
Tightening the knot
Of a rope so drear
The misery has grown
As the grief will infest
Into the shackle
I can't fight
Without you, I've surrendered
To the dreams of distraught
Never a slumber without a tear
Is this Gods way to make me atone
For being ungrateful to what I had been blessed? ...

Arrival
Its coming for me
I can see it already
The claws of despair
Will pull out my hair
And consume my being
Its coming for me
I can hear the deadly
Shriek of wrath declare
It'll drag me to its lair
And drown out my screaming
Its coming for me
I await dreadfully
Completely aware
That it was my affair
Inducing this price I'm paying
Its coming for me
I can see it already
The claws of despair
Will pull out my hair
And consume my being
Its coming for me
I can hear the deadly
Shriek of wrath declare
It'll drag me to its lair
And drown out my screaming
Its coming for me
I await dreadfully
Completely aware
That it was my affair
Inducing this price I'm paying
Its coming for me

Fade Away
Lyrics
Watch me fade tonight
In this cold light
Your eyes so bright
As I say goodbye
[Verse 1]
Looking back at me
What do you see?
Skin so pale and thin
Where should we begin?
Time keeps moving slow
As the blood flows
Through these open veins
Washing away pain
Can't take anymore
Of this endless war
Between you and I
Time to say goodbye
[Pre-chorus]
Every mark upon my skin tells a tale
Of battles fought within that made me fail
Looking in your eyes, I see the truth
No...
Watch me fade tonight
In this cold light
Your eyes so bright
As I say goodbye
[Verse 1]
Looking back at me
What do you see?
Skin so pale and thin
Where should we begin?
Time keeps moving slow
As the blood flows
Through these open veins
Washing away pain
Can't take anymore
Of this endless war
Between you and I
Time to say goodbye
[Pre-chorus]
Every mark upon my skin tells a tale
Of battles fought within that made me fail
Looking in your eyes, I see the truth
