Torn up inside,what happened to my pride,im dead inside.

Everyday is never ending,my heart is broken and needs some mending.

Strengh i used to pride myself on,what do I do now that its all gone.

There was a time when no one could tempt me,but that time has passed and my willpower has left me.

Memeries fade and smiles are fake,why does it seem all people want to do is take.

I give and give and ask for nothing back,I just want to see her smile but she makes my heart crack.

Saying things that im not sure if she means,I think she cares but not much it seems.

Pushing everyone away has become a huge part of my life,a cold heart and emptyness has become my wife.

Surrounded by negative all day and night,dont see any posative within my sight.

I guess theres some but its clouded over by lost hope,I wanna play a game of hangman now where is my rope.

I wont go that far I still have some faith intact,but after doing what is right for so long would anyone blame me if i mentally crack.

THE END

I scrapped my tears from finished floors

then pushed my body
upon my moors

You knew not of me
yet silent I gravelled upon

you sight to see

you dissed the longing heart
along with the swing tart

I was but none
yet you cruelly lied

I wanted such knowing
yet you spied

and
left me
not but to die

holed between
walls
that with water

secretly rise

What have I done
These words I’ve uttered
Come to haunt me once again
These words so corporeal
Refuse to lay down and die

Words of swearing that I used
Now chase me round and round
I’ve created words that have a body
They hit me left and right
Is there someone that can help me

So I say beware my friend
Of the words that you be creating
Lest they turn and hunt you down
And lifelong misery follows

Slowly I move, ever so slowly
Hiding in the shadows unseen
You will not know that I am there
For I am the darkness and it is me

You will not hear my footfall
Or the rustle of my clothes
My breathing shallow, measured
No sound escapes from me

My eyes are black like the night
No smile to show my teeth
Hair tied back in pony tail
Black paint to cover skin

From cover to cover so quietly
You'll never know l stalk
I wait and bide my time
No reason for me to rush

I lived before time began
Be here when time does end
So many I'll take with me
Before they know I'm there

Crawling lies
like a snake
in ambushing
You bite me
on the back

Nesting asleep
On the chest
The circle of life
Searching the warmth within,

upon the heat
Crocodile tears
Wiped away my smile
Coldness in what you done

Sinking the fangs
From the darkness
off your soul
Deep into my heart

The blood turns black in lies
In the multitude of sins,
biting in the back
Through venomous words
Poisoning the mind

Killing me slowly
Apple in the eye
Totally
Without doubt
Rotten

Shut up and listen
for a change
Do not judge me
When I am quiet
no one ever planned
anything with noise

Heaven in you
Broke every rule
even the golden one,
bringing out the dark secret
Like a cuckoo

Poisoned the nest
Getting into the garden,
In temptation cries
Runs deep into the blood

Veins pumping fury
Of a thousand steamboats,
blood cuts both ways
No illusions
the method behind the madness

Hidden eating
The sordid secret
Watch what you are doing,
falling down
lies like
Toy soldiers

If a battle is fought
A war can be won
But there is no victory
In what you've become

Picky and Lonely were best of friends,
And sworn enemies of happiness,
They decided to work together,
That it would be better to just forget her,
Picky said "She's just a girl.",
Lonely chimed in "We dont need her.",
Then happiness cried tears like rain,
And happiness ran away...

Time moves on
as on this earth
men live and die
each day
Humanity wallows in wretchedness
Men steal, lie, kill
plunder one another
People deceive each other
There is no end
to pain, suffering, agony
Yet
in quiet moments
my mind reaches out
and makes contact
with some mysterious source
some cosmic awareness
which moves me strangely
I sense something
I cannot describe
but only feel
Who knows what secrets
are locked up
in this vast universe
or in the human mind?
What things have substance
and what have not?
What is Truth and Beauty?
Are they just empty words?
Or are they tied up somehow
with this strangeness
I feel?
Perhaps tomorrow
I will know
but meanwhile
I must continue
to feel
the things I feel
and to think
the thoughts I think
for wretched life or not
Life must go on

as the night
falls down dead
in colourless thoughts
polluting inner eye
drifting about lifeless

waters in storm swell
creeping out of shadows
strangling emotions
choking the life
in the host

deep frozen chilled
cutting to the bone
in odourless pain pleas
battle in the clouds
without mercy

gasping crushing blow
the taste of cold steel
sweetly cut deep
in swollen red eyes
i bled on you

drained tired look
tearing emotions
sick to the stomach
knotted up tight
barking mad

the heart in pain cries
silent lips move
quivering ache
on barren land
parched the feeling

walking through the eye
a zombie
in the graveyard of death
heartless soul lost
lifeless the eyes

a mirror light within
deep burning fire
warms the heartbeat
each beat
fractured and broken

in the dark
alone
to die
is love
buried
