"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
Blood rushing like wild crazed dogs to the surface of my skin. Placing a crimson attitude onto my face, and a trembling hurricane to my voice. The oxygen runs thin from my atmosphere, is this real, or is this outer space? Canines of the blackest exposure make their way from my head, down my spine, through my extremities, to my feet. Crushing eyes from around push me outwards until I can no longer see what I'm running from. Screeching, mocking barks echo from within as prey is made of my insides. Beneath the supernovas of happiness past alone I await for the chimes of twelve. I feel the hounds push against my skin once more, they have not been fed for a while now. The time has arrived and yet my sanity still has not; shadows surround me and make it hard to breathe. Laughter of hyenas, cries of bloodhounds, howls of wolves, all disturb what is left of me right to the core. Colourblind, yet with an eyesight set on the brightest hue of fire, mongrels of most devilish influence impatiently scratch and claw. Opening their kennels they climb over each other in a frenzy down the road of scarlet. Red sky at night, shepherd's delight? Well then, red sky in the morning is a sign that the herding dogs from Hell shall give no warning.

Howls from within
In my most foolish, childish desire lay the futile wish to be consumed by a love that would set my heart on fire, and extinguish it all in one The depths of the twilight brought upon me pain and blood like no other, but my dear; the tear stains on my pillow and crimson once run free are unmatched by the burns you have abandoned on this skin Do you still remember the night we drowned? I wonder, You see still the waves come over me, as I drift in and out of consciousness - I am both awake and in slumber at the very same time My love, I am screaming for you, I am here, why? As you are there? And in my panic my mind escapes me as I look up to the surface, see your face and try but my mouth is burdened by saltwater

i see you, can you see me? i am sitting in a room with four walls, a window and a door with a tiny pane of frosted glass near the top; but it feels as though i am sitting in a  metal cage for animals because those outside look at me as if that is so. i did not ask to be in this place all alone yet you gave me no choice. you cannot see me, you never will.

darling
isn't it curious? how the things that can cure us, deliver us from evil, and make us feel truly alive can so easily become the things the very same things that contaminate our souls, force us onto the path of the Devil himself, and cause our demise?

don't wait around for someone to kiss your scars and bless you into wellness, their lips are not your magical ointment. never rely on another human being for your happiness, what happens to you, then, if they were leave you? please remember to take care of yourself before you care for others, you will be left alone with yourself one day. it's important you keep going (on your own terms)

they say that destruction is a form of creation. but when I take that ****** piece of metal in the sweating fist of my right hand, what is it that has been born? besides the rush and the release; what is it, exactly, that I have created?

I should speak more, but I should not touch on certain topics. For nobody wants to listen to what I really think. Everyone is beautiful, but beauty is narrow and specific. For nobody wants to see me, when my face is raw.

I want to write but the words won't come out of my head and onto the page properly; I am so deeply sorry for this
