fossil
i'm dead inside-
my heart's a corpse-decayed...decomposed;
lovelessness and apathy
bludgeoned my emotions,
withered my psyche.
inundated by sorrow and loneliness,
it seems eternity...
the heat of coldness and indifference,
whilst the pressure to be a diamond
in the wilderness;
crushed me, burdened me
as seasons took their course-
alas! i turned into coal.
i'm a fossil...

That Woman In The Picture... She's Really You... Is She?!
I just bought it, Honey.
It would be a perfect conversation piece.
You okay, Sweetie? Look pale.

Dead Like Me
Last night I met up with my soul on a cold dark road
Fed up of me many many years ago
Any idea what it is to be dead like me?
Do you think you'd be able to feel warmth & love when dead?
This morning I cut out my heart
Held it in my hands, wasn't functioning to well anyway
My body is decimated by disease & gloom
So hopeless, so tired, so lifeless
The ghosts I use to see don't scare me anymore
I'm one of them
My soul again departed on that cold dark road
Fed up of me many many years ago
Any idea what it is to be dead like me?
Do you think you'd be able to feel warmth & love when dead?
This morning I cut out my heart
Held it in my hands, wasn't functioning to well anyway
My body is decimated by disease & gloom
So hopeless, so tired, so lifeless
The ghosts I use to see don't scare me anymore
I'm one of them
My soul again departed on that cold dark road

Your cuticles are sexy
She was a cutie
Young, hot and had an extraordinary appetite for sex
She knew her way around my body and knew what I enjoyed
There was just one problem...
She had a disgusting habit of frequently and repeatedly gnawing on her skin
Most of the time it was her cuticles or her hand
The area would become red & raw
Many times the affected area would bleed
She had a disease called Dermatophagia
In the beginning of our time together it wasn't bad
After several months her hands looked like someone cut & chopped her skin up with a...

Not suffering alone (PTSD)
When we are under a heavy load of stress, it will take a more deeper hold upon the mind and soul, sometimes taking you where you've been and gone through this cycle of life. For sure we sometimes, have to reevaluate our own personal thoughts, on a time ⌚ in our lives that the damage has, already been done. Mentally and physically and emotionally, draining us slowly as it begins to take us back in time. When we were in a a foreign country fighting in war zone, fighting in a war zone that is not our war to be fighting for the freedom of it's own people's. YET still there is a down side,...

Please! Get Out Of Here Quick Before They Come Back!
Todd and Cody stepped inside.
They found Lisa naked and tied tightly.
She begged them to run.
Cody left only to hear a noise.
Her parents done the same to Todd.

Augury
I could see the pain in her eyes
For the things that she used to tell
And for the many that she kept to herself
People her time were built different
Like strongholds of resilience and secrets
Every now and then
I’d get a glimpse of the world she came from
She knew that old ghosts sometimes come back
Not to haunt
But try to stir you away from the current path
And yet, she always remained stoic
Death and spirits tend to have that effect on some people
For her
It was a way of life
Because even though now she...

Stars-Beacon of hope
My tears fell in my cupped palms-
warm and glistening;
I threw them at the heavens
and they became stars...
Perhaps, every star is a tear
of someone
glimmering in the night sky,
reminding us that
in the darkest hours of despair,
our pain and fears
can turn into beacons of hope;
illuminating our paths,
guiding us,
forging us into toughened
and resilient warriors...
Reiterating with their perpetual presence
the stars symbolize
that our struggles and...
warm and glistening;
I threw them at the heavens
and they became stars...
Perhaps, every star is a tear
of someone

illuminating our paths,

and resilient warriors...

Don't Submit to the darkness
From dreams in the dark of night some dreams somehow, changes your mind thoughts on so many levels of your subconscious thoughts, sometimes taking you to the edge of no return. But regardless of how much you don't need it, it's a reflection of things to come from deeper than deep from the pure negativity, and chaos that seems to be the norm. 😞 YET it is necessary to understand that it's not over, when you lose it's over when you QUITE, living your best life ever. For sure it's a battle against the deepness of the truth, that it's only purpose is to keep you blind sided, from seeing...

I Can Still Feel Your Hands On My Skin
The weight of memory lingers still,
A shadow’s touch, an ache to fill.
I was young, too small to fight,
When he cast shadows in the night.
His hands, they haunt me, soft and slow,
A touch I cannot wash or throw.
No matter how the water streams,
The stain stays deeper than it seems.
I have a feeling you got everything you wanted,
And you’re not wasting time stuck here like me,
Living in a world that doesn’t see,
The cracks beneath the smile, the broken plea.
You moved on, untouched by fear,
But I am still the child who’s...
A shadow’s touch, an ache to fill.
I was young, too small to fight,
When he cast shadows in the night.
His hands, they haunt me, soft and slow,
A touch I cannot wash or throw.
No matter how the water streams,
The stain stays deeper than it seems.
I have a feeling you got everything you wanted,
And you’re not wasting time stuck here like me,
Living in a world that doesn’t see,
The cracks beneath the smile, the broken plea.
You moved on, untouched by fear,
But I am still the child who’s...

Light
Lift me up,
Just to break me down,
Wipe my tears,
Only to push me to the ground
Soulless eyes,
Bleeding into my life,
Web of words,
Spun into a beautiful lie,
You don't love me,
You said you wished I would die,
You lift me up,
Only to slam me down,
Back to reality,
You've taken my crown,
How can I get over this?
Your love is like a bottomless lake,
And I can't swim,
You laugh at me while I drown,
Broken promises,
Empty words,
Constantly questioning my self worth,
You mock...
Just to break me down,
Wipe my tears,
Only to push me to the ground
Soulless eyes,
Bleeding into my life,
Web of words,
Spun into a beautiful lie,
You don't love me,
You said you wished I would die,
You lift me up,
Only to slam me down,
Back to reality,
You've taken my crown,
How can I get over this?
Your love is like a bottomless lake,
And I can't swim,
You laugh at me while I drown,
Broken promises,
Empty words,
Constantly questioning my self worth,
You mock...
