Maybe someday, we can rise above the horizon and see the sun, knowing hope does exist on the other side. But today is not the day, and tomorrow doesn't look any better.
Stop, mind. Please stop racing. I don't enjoy it, All these memories you put me through. I thought I had forgotten, But I could never forget. Stop, eyes. Please stop seeing. I don't want it, The constant knowledge. The reassurance in the mirror, Pathetic, hopeless. I will never matter. Stop, heart. Please stop beating. I don't understand it, The fluctuation of flutters. Excited and light, Heavy and dead. It never makes sense, It's never the same. Stop, skin. Please stop bleeding.

Ending
I have everything I'd ever need to feel that I'm of use. I've even nearly come to terms with all my life's abuse You rescued me from myself and the harm that I would do But why do I feel so alone while standing next to you? You made me many promises, kept every single one You love me despite seeing the hungry wolf I've become Encouraged me to chase the fire burning through my lungs But that fire's nearly out, and I'm stuck in the web I spun I drew lines from my blood source, not just one, not two, but three You try to understand, but only offer sympathy It's always been within your reach to feel happy and free Someone like you should never love a person like me You've ignited sparks within me that give me more of a bite You never raised a hand at me, we never really fight And in telling me you love me sprouts me wings so I can fly But this darkness I'm surrounded with will never turn to light I have everything I'd ever need to feel that I'm of use Still I know that I am useless, and this path has fallen through I hope you know the only one I've ever loved is you Yet I'm sick of being followed by shadows you never knew

A Sun At Night
The smell of decay rests thick in this room As the beautiful roses change their hue. They die silently, nearly unnoticed Until the stench is unbearable. A death not cared for, Nobody shall grieve them. But they had screamed so hard and so long, Their voices drowned and muffled throughout the petals, Never heard, never listened to. Now presented as a forgotten thought, A last-minute backstory, A wasted effort, An unheard memory.

Over Again
Sometimes you can't see When in certain perspectives All of your progress

Forward
When you come out from hiding, I will be waiting And we can both throw aside our masks But never for too long. And we can either end this or start this Our engines burning, tired, Cold But never truly real. They'd never have guessed this, We'd never have attempted, But I've always known, Swept away with the wind. The gore doesn't match your clothes As we cut deeper into ourselves, Closing into discovery, But no one ever knows.

Quietly, Now
Cold steel cuts so deep A world of insanity Death will release me

The Other Side
Stuck inside these walls, A hope once held forgotten, I become nothing.

Confined
It follows me and reminds me That I'm not really here. There's no escape from the Thing that I most fear. It beckons to me with its Breath drawing near. I struggle ahead as I Pretend not to hear. But then it engulfs me And I disappear. Goodbye to the life that Was once held so dear. I've entered a new hell Since the last one ran clear. Awareness is excruciating Year after year. But why do I feel When existence is sheer? It follows me and reminds me That I'm not really here.

Reaper
The emptiness swallows me whole. It uses no teeth or razor blades, But it rather engulfs me all in one piece to fully feel Only the sensation of darkness, As well as my sanity leaving, As life all runs together in a dull, stark, Meaningless dead end. I have no business here. Nobody wants me here. And so the emptiness, Ever so inviting, Consumes.

Dark
There could have been better, Than the beast I've become. Maybe someone with motives, Whose hopes weren't undone. There could have been better, Than the person I am. Maybe someone with passion, And experience first-hand. There could have been better, Maybe someone who's loved. Not held back by fear, Who can grow far above. There could have been better, But I hardly exist. I'm eaten by pride, And constant loneliness. There could have been better, But that is not me. I'm drowning in emptiness, Washed up by the sea. I'll make room for the better, Give needed space to succeed. But I am empty of value, In the blackness, I bleed. There could have been better, I'll fall into shadowed seas. Drown away disappointment, My hollow life will cease.
