Lost and alone
No words are said
No stories told
I slept in bed
The night is cold
The chance so bleak
The mirror appears
Truth I seek
But nothing is near
I think of love
But never expect
Not much above
Not much even left
A hero to none
A devil to all
Hidden from the sun
Lost behind a wall
No reason to be
No place to go
Never to be free
For that I know
Thoughts of hope
Future to come
A story was wrote
The damage was done ...
No stories told
I slept in bed
The night is cold
The chance so bleak
The mirror appears
Truth I seek
But nothing is near
I think of love
But never expect
Not much above
Not much even left
A hero to none
A devil to all
Hidden from the sun
Lost behind a wall
No reason to be
No place to go
Never to be free
For that I know
Thoughts of hope
Future to come
A story was wrote
The damage was done ...

Hammock
Below the lamp
Now below the trees
My blanket is damp
From the cold night breeze
I remember being a blossom
I swayed till I fell out
Thought life was simply awesome
Not a single little doubt
But this time in my hammock
Toes tangled in the twine
Nothing’s here but panic
And my belly’s full of wine
See my image has been scribbled
To the point where paper tears
Lobes in my brain are crippled
Along with all my cares
Now I sway on this hammock
Even though the sky is black ...
Now below the trees
My blanket is damp
From the cold night breeze
I remember being a blossom
I swayed till I fell out
Thought life was simply awesome
Not a single little doubt
But this time in my hammock
Toes tangled in the twine
Nothing’s here but panic
And my belly’s full of wine
See my image has been scribbled
To the point where paper tears
Lobes in my brain are crippled
Along with all my cares
Now I sway on this hammock
Even though the sky is black ...

Piss takers
So yet again have I been played like a fool,
By my so called mates that think they're so cool.
They sit and wait till they can stick their teeth in,
And all my feelings are just for the bin.
At first they act so friendly over the blower, "How are you mate?",
Arrange a time then on purpose turn up late.
As far as I can tell, they do it for shits and giggles,
It's like I'm a worm on a hook that can't stop my wiggles.
Because they use me as bait, use me to get what they need,
They don't realise I'm fucked off and that my heart bleeds. ...

Phantom Agony.
Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck inside myself, only writing and feeling things about myself
when the world is so big.
But the eyes I have are mine, my brain and its synapses,
my tongue and my lungs, my fingers and movements,
these are also mine.
Therefore, it's hard to see something other than what my eyes can see
or feel and wonder about things my mind can't reach.
But even if I could, my lungs breathe for me
and my mouth is a slave.
I can not escape myself, because I am human.
And after everything,
it means to be a prisoner.
when the world is so big.
But the eyes I have are mine, my brain and its synapses,
my tongue and my lungs, my fingers and movements,
these are also mine.
Therefore, it's hard to see something other than what my eyes can see
or feel and wonder about things my mind can't reach.
But even if I could, my lungs breathe for me
and my mouth is a slave.
I can not escape myself, because I am human.
And after everything,
it means to be a prisoner.

His Broken Heart
His Broken Heart
Old Harlon, civil war’s lost soldier,
Recruited for another army and fell in love.
Old confederate, mystical ways,
Found on a virginial field, in death’s callous grasp.
His great prowess noted from afar,
Revered by Immortalis, antediluvian.
Ancient cult of immortals seeking,
And finding mortals on the cusp, willing to bargain.
Blood drinking cannibals, eternal,
Protection sought in exchange for immortality’s curse.
Lilith, exile of Eden, mother,
Matriarch of the Immortalis, queen...

uno and monopoly
it was on a friend's birthday dinner
i hadnt seen you in a long time
and i convinced myself
that you somehow forgot
about my existence
we sat on the floor
the four of us
a sloppy circle
your body right across mine
a deck between us
and ice cream
and drinks
and seemingly the universe
we played games
i wanted to win
i wanted you to win more
but what i wanted most was you
you see, you cannot comprehend
how your smile makes me more anxious
than standing on this stage ...

HOLLOW
I gazed upon the crashing waves
The seas roar of defiance
Pitted my soul
And tore away my broken heart
An icy chilled wet wind
Rummaged through my desperate bones
If she loved me
Why did she end it
Comprehension was beyond my knowledge
Of human nature
So much for my sensitivities
realised i knew nothing
Alone in my despair
A solemn silence filled my heart
An aching pain
I sat alone in a void
The dream is now my nightmare
Breathless and broken
As the aching hollow pain ...

A solemn silence filled my heart

Breathless and broken

Ethereal of sadness
Pray for me I know I'm not alright yeah
I spend my time alone at night
Watch the stars as I drink excessively
Mind flooded as I cry out to nobody
Baby I don't want to do this
Heart broke I don't see any changes
Tightrope as my mind rages;
Hellbent when there was no haven.
What's it like to be wanted,
I only ask this cause I'm haunted
Lost in the unknown, I can't pretend;
I'm alone to the very end
I just want a friend
But they only care about material,
Call me crazy I can feel my end.
I see all...
I spend my time alone at night
Watch the stars as I drink excessively
Mind flooded as I cry out to nobody
Baby I don't want to do this
Heart broke I don't see any changes
Tightrope as my mind rages;
Hellbent when there was no haven.
What's it like to be wanted,
I only ask this cause I'm haunted
Lost in the unknown, I can't pretend;
I'm alone to the very end

Lonely
A lonely kid,
Am but a lonely kid from a broken home
A silent kid,
I'll always be the silent boy with a broken smile
Everything i know, I've learned in silence
Bright days come and pass,
Dark days come and stay
Everything I've seen, I've seen in darkness
Bridge after another, I burn
Trying to create some distance between humanity and i
I stare,
I stare at the Vagueness in my Chest
Layers upon layers of nothingness
There's a city in ruins living right underneath my ribcage
Foul air, this place is a cemetery ...
Am but a lonely kid from a broken home
A silent kid,
I'll always be the silent boy with a broken smile
Everything i know, I've learned in silence
Bright days come and pass,
Dark days come and stay
Everything I've seen, I've seen in darkness
Bridge after another, I burn
Trying to create some distance between humanity and i
I stare,
I stare at the Vagueness in my Chest
Layers upon layers of nothingness
There's a city in ruins living right underneath my ribcage
Foul air, this place is a cemetery ...

Walking the Streets at Night
Walked home via Aldwych. Reflected that nothing really changes. I’m still walking about this city dragging my loneliness with me, putting on a front, whistling in the dark. It is getting darker all the time.” - The Kenneth Williams Diaries
Walking the streets at night,
I look at windows overlooking alleyways
and tangled gardens long since given up,
and picture myself inside those rooms
just outside the dangerous corner of pitch,
where anything might be lurking.
I’d never tell my grandmother,
who once freaked out
when I said that...

MIND OF A MANIC
welcome
to the mind of a manic
constant confusion
forever in a state of panic
never knowing what i want
ruining every thing i touch
pushing people away
refusing love
yet needing it so much
i hate this life
its like a curse
like a big play
that i forgot to rehearse
a constant failure
a complete mess inside
i feel isolated
but its because i hide
i can clearly see the problems
but im helpless
3am
im in full makeup and a dress
dont know what to do
feeling lost
what am i doing, i...
