The Branch in My Dreams
Do not despair
These are only words
It would be unfair
To unburden this world
Feet high off the ground
Would only hurt them
Or maybe just her.
So I'll continue to dream
Such slivers of light
Won't warm nor beam
Into hopeless night
This rotten, unclean
Crackled, glass suit
Will remain Earthbound
Not the Fallen's recruit
Whilst it withers with time
Creaks under boot
And shivers of mine
Are frozen at last
For when they are gone
I will seek darkness then-
To...

Talk To Yourself, Riss.
Its not a smile
Its dead eyed bliss
Just drown it all
That's the quick fix
That way you can't
Blow out your mind
You'll just miss
Its dead eyed bliss
Just drown it all
That's the quick fix
That way you can't
Blow out your mind
You'll just miss

Star-Crossed
A collaboration by faithmairee (Faith Elizabeth Brigham) and zenithquazar77 (Marcus Cooke)
Here's where the story starts
with arms across
love and loss
A place where
time and lovers lost
two star crossed lovers
counting the cost
Hand in hand
through resurrection
oposed to their
Masters objection.
There was an evil empire
ruled by unseemly men
Their evil knew no boundaries
It sprang up everywhere
Two star-crossed lovers
once were imprisoned there
held in a lion's den
...

Unseen
You walk by my side
And look into my eyes,
But you can't hear the silent screams
Behind the sheer veil of tears.
I wear the face of a clown,
But there's blood dripping
From the moments of madness
Spent clawing out my own eyes.
Hands that once held promise
Shake feebly as I pick up
My broken pieces.
Fingers cracked, heart growing heavier
And darker with shadow.
I want to die
But you don't care.
And look into my eyes,
But you can't hear the silent screams
Behind the sheer veil of tears.
I wear the face of a clown,
But there's blood dripping
From the moments of madness
Spent clawing out my own eyes.
Hands that once held promise
Shake feebly as I pick up
My broken pieces.
Fingers cracked, heart growing heavier
And darker with shadow.
I want to die
But you don't care.

Redeem Me
She screams for help but nobody listens.
Her heroes ride in on valiant vows
Only to leave her scorned and ashamed.
Her voice is breaking;
Her hands are shaking.
One bullet and all would end.
Her heroes ride in on valiant vows
Only to leave her scorned and ashamed.
Her voice is breaking;
Her hands are shaking.
One bullet and all would end.

Suicide Note
Submissive in your passing
I am so alone
Deep in this silence I hear your echo
Seeping through other worlds
Darker oathes have left me wanting
Sorrow has become a freind
For sometime I've felt this way
No way out too dark to see
I suffer silent in my torment
Forever passing this life by
I cut myself to feel your kiss
Suicide betrays me greatly
On the verge of my collapse
See my palace fall in ruin
Amongst the myth of resurrection
Behold the stonework of your tomb
I miss you greatly sew...
I am so alone
Deep in this silence I hear your echo
Seeping through other worlds
Darker oathes have left me wanting
Sorrow has become a freind
For sometime I've felt this way
No way out too dark to see
I suffer silent in my torment
Forever passing this life by
I cut myself to feel your kiss
Suicide betrays me greatly
On the verge of my collapse
See my palace fall in ruin
Amongst the myth of resurrection
Behold the stonework of your tomb
I miss you greatly sew...

"Absolute Rapture"
I don't know
Why you hate me?
What did I do
To hurt you so?
I'm a beautiful bird
Who just wanted
To fly high
But ran out of sky.
I seek freedom
Not capture
Lost in tides
Of absolute Rapture.
I'm sorry!
Why you hate me?

Morte Interrumpitur (Death Interrupted)
Morte Interrumpitur
(Death Interrupted)
Feel the feels you feel to feel the feels you avoid
Skipping along a spring soaked path in that sunshine bath
Stopping to hear the rustling of leaves from soft quiet breezes
Searching to find that other path to see what you see when you reveal sunken feelings
Shock and shame and outright terror fills and pulses
Paralyzing chills spike your veins while numbing cold invades your brain
The cold ... oh so cold cripples and cinches you inch by bloody inch
Let it flow you say ... let it flow...

Don't Want To
Don't want to die
Just want to ease the pain
Don't want to cry
Or be filled with disdain
Don't want to be depressed
But can't seem to shake it
Life's unrelenting stress
Siphons strength with each hit
Don't want to quit
Perseverance is key
Bit by small bit
Has damaged my psyche
Don't want to be social
Isolating myself
Don't want to go postal
So I'm going in stealth
Just want to ease the pain
Don't want to cry
Or be filled with disdain
Don't want to be depressed
But can't seem to shake it
Life's unrelenting stress
Siphons strength with each hit
Don't want to quit
Perseverance is key
Bit by small bit
Has damaged my psyche
Don't want to be social
Isolating myself
Don't want to go postal
So I'm going in stealth

my treasure in life
i’ve taken good notes
no mental naps,
paid more attention
drawn better maps,
i’ve paid the cost,
gone though the loss,
back broke mind cracked,
stretched in every direction
like torture on the rack,
every pandora’s box
a stress or a strife,
best decision i made
was both wrists to the knife,
as light begins to fade
to irreversible night,
didn’t realize my treasure
was living my own life..
no mental naps,
paid more attention
drawn better maps,
i’ve paid the cost,
gone though the loss,
back broke mind cracked,
stretched in every direction
like torture on the rack,
every pandora’s box
a stress or a strife,
best decision i made
was both wrists to the knife,
as light begins to fade
to irreversible night,
didn’t realize my treasure
was living my own life..

Goodbye to me
Spending time alone
Although I am never alone
A backlit screen illuminates my face
My shadow on the wall behind me
Reflecting every movement I make
A sign that I'm still here
Maybe it's the only sign left of my existence
Apart from the comments I've left on the wall
To put the screen away is to be truly alone
Worried about never being able to meet my soul mate , new friends or any form of human interaction
What am I missing ?
Am I alone ?
No motivation , no goals in life , feel like I'm a waste of oxygen .
...
Although I am never alone

35 Days...
It's been 35 days since you've been gone.
It's been 35 days since you took your last breath.
It's been 35 days since you spoke your last words.
It's been 35 days since you've seen your family last.
It's been 35 days since you ate your last meal.
It's been 35 days since you said goodbye.
It's been 35 days since you told your family you loved them.
It's been 35 days since you took your life.
It's been 35 days and it still feels like it's day one.
It's been 35 days since you took your last breath.
It's been 35 days since you spoke your last words.
It's been 35 days since you've seen your family last.
It's been 35 days since you ate your last meal.
It's been 35 days since you said goodbye.
It's been 35 days since you told your family you loved them.
It's been 35 days since you took your life.
It's been 35 days and it still feels like it's day one.
