i’m so sick
of seeing
you all
in my dreams
long night
after night
memories
still haunting
and half
of the time
the stories
are all wrong
painting you
in colors
that you
never wore
desires
i dreamt up
wishing you
were more
waking up
thrashing
and yelling
forlorn
those words
i was never
quite able
to say
feelings
i wish
would just
go away
trying to
forgive you
little...

Darkness
The sun is replaced with utter darkness,
The gentle sound of laughter that is gazed upon as happiness is replaced with complete silence and solitude
"Darkness" thee, complete me, with cold yet comforting hands, hands that point me to a pathway... a pathway to nothingness yet contentness
Content by being nothing
Nothing
Nonexistent
The pathway to darkness invokes thee evil in me
Evoking the familiar sting of the blade piercing my weak delicate skin viciously and repeatedly to feel what it is like to be alive again,
Alive I am, alive for pain
Evoking...
The gentle sound of laughter that is gazed upon as happiness is replaced with complete silence and solitude
"Darkness" thee, complete me, with cold yet comforting hands, hands that point me to a pathway... a pathway to nothingness yet contentness
Content by being nothing
Nothing
Nonexistent
The pathway to darkness invokes thee evil in me
Evoking the familiar sting of the blade piercing my weak delicate skin viciously and repeatedly to feel what it is like to be alive again,
Alive I am, alive for pain
Evoking...

Suicide (2)
Suicide.
Is that an act of
Courage - as in
I don't give a fuck anymore
Let that ship sail wherever
Or is suicide and act of
Desperation - as in
I don't five a fuck anymore
Let that ship sail wherever
Is that an act of
Courage - as in
I don't give a fuck anymore
Let that ship sail wherever
Or is suicide and act of
Desperation - as in
I don't five a fuck anymore
Let that ship sail wherever

King at last! Thank God Almighty I'm King at last!

I just don't understand all this
unseemly and exaggerated
fawning basically over a

I pretend
It doesn't exist
Cognitive behavioral

Only works
When you
Don't
Have
Monsters
Living in your head

Lost Love
It feels like someone has punched me in my stomach,
Causing my true happiness and spirit to
plummet.
I’ve lost my best friend in a blink of an eye,
My heart is broken and all I wanna do is cry.
The loneliness and tears won’t subside,
Is this what a slow death feels like inside?
We knew this could happen sooner or later,
His happiness and sanity I want nothing greater.
Is the heartache and hurt worth it in the long run?
Absolutely, the love I felt outweighs any outcome.
Causing my true happiness and spirit to
plummet.
I’ve lost my best friend in a blink of an eye,
My heart is broken and all I wanna do is cry.
The loneliness and tears won’t subside,
Is this what a slow death feels like inside?
We knew this could happen sooner or later,
His happiness and sanity I want nothing greater.
Is the heartache and hurt worth it in the long run?
Absolutely, the love I felt outweighs any outcome.

Coastal Clouds
i often think to myself on why is love so painful, why waste breath on it? like I don't get it, I wasted my breath on you, i was loyal to you even you weren't mine. its like I was destined for my own downfall for falling in love with you, because it doesnt make sense because we clicked so much and we were so alike, we were close, you trusted me with your body. you trusted me with your mind and your heart and i gave you mine, but it was all a sham, because you thought i was gonna play you, but you played yourself because i never planned on playing you. now. im sitting up above the coastal...

Left
Left
Left to watch the day's color
turning black and white.
Left to watch the day
combine to be gray.
Left to hear the wind whistle
blowing through old bones.
Left to hear old songs,
sing along.
Left to write the last note,
the words spark and aflame.
Left to write with cold hand,
love understand.
Left to walk a night street,
footfalls echo around,
lunatic laughter,
a bloody ground.
Left to be in the zone.
Air tugs at the skin.
Left to watch,
left to hear ...
Left to watch the day's color
turning black and white.
Left to watch the day
combine to be gray.
Left to hear the wind whistle
blowing through old bones.
Left to hear old songs,
sing along.
Left to write the last note,
the words spark and aflame.
Left to write with cold hand,
love understand.
Left to walk a night street,
footfalls echo around,
lunatic laughter,
a bloody ground.
Left to be in the zone.
Air tugs at the skin.
Left to watch,

Rose Garden Funeral
The phantasmagoria of a quaalude sleep only thickens over time
Blood of mine turns the green stems of roses into red velvet thorns
Vines, they wrap themselves around my existence till I turn grey
Overtime these flower fields will decompose like I have into their soil
But for now, l linger in each breeze of the fragrance of roses
Inhaling me
As you inhale your favorite floral scent
Blood of mine turns the green stems of roses into red velvet thorns
Vines, they wrap themselves around my existence till I turn grey
Overtime these flower fields will decompose like I have into their soil
But for now, l linger in each breeze of the fragrance of roses
Inhaling me
As you inhale your favorite floral scent

Lethal Emotions
I feel my emotions crawling out of my skin like spiders,
No matter how much I try to repress and keep my emotions recluse my face shows it all like the confusions of a web
Your lies taste so sweet pressed against my lips,
Your deceit has this ill effect on me that it calms the chaos in my mind
I’ve lost my sense of direction, so I dance like a spider on a web till I feel the echoes and the vibration of your movement
Then, I find my way back to you in the center of the web and back to the center of your heart
Our emotions are bond together wrapped so tight in...

narcissism
Narcissism
Naked in the bath, he looked in the mirror
he loved himself so much and got an erection.
The image came out and smacked his face.
Chastened, the self-lover hung a curtain
over the mirror and didn’t lift the curtain
once until he was old.
Shocked by the sight of the ruin of his body
he shot himself dead.
His image, preserved was his young self
came out, picked up the car keys and left.
A week later, he was arrested for murder
since the killer and his victim were one and
the same, he was tried for suicide.

Dr Emil at the cottage hospital had a problem
he was not aware of; he had worked in bigger hospitals
but fired for being rude to patients.
Dr Emil was a good doctor and a kind man the staff
The hospital accepted his quirks. as did the patients
and in the small town regarded as lovable eccentric.
Doing his morning round, he said to an old patient
“Does he never die, the fucking old fart?”
“What is the old cunt over there doing in my ward.”
Chuckles from beds
Dr Emil continued like nothing had happened unaware
