I give to you this collection of swiftly decaying organisms in the chance that it might sway your stone heart to beat once again. I take you to the beach in the early morning. In the hopes that the color might return to your pale, rotten skin. I offer you my jumbled thoughts in words while you sleep. To ensure you won't truly hear me because I know you cannot care any longer. I offer you my jacket, though you insist you no longer feel the cold. I give it despite knowing you to be right. I hold aloft the umbrella though your eyes say you don't care as your damp hair clings to your neck. Darling, they told me to move on. At times I know they're right and at times I know they're also wrong. As a human can be both ugly and beautiful, they can be both right and wrong. I need to stop loving a corpse.

Corpse
Breathless I feel the flames creep through the corridors Devouring each room in seconds Searching, searching The Smoke Stealing the oxygen from my lungs I feel it clog my throat Breathing black tar Clouding my vision as it clouds my lungs The building trembles with me Booth shudder as we struggle not to be consumed by the fire The blaze casts it’s tongues to me, scorching me It reaches for me Beckoning me into it’s welcome arms It coils it’s temptation around me, restricting Lacing through my veins You are the fire Freeing me Killing me.

Drowning flames
I stand at the edge of this forest weeping My demons hiding, creeping, creeping I’m searching for a hint of light Separation from this endless night Some how this darkness caught me Tearing away all that I could be Keeping me from those around It never let me make a sound As months, years passed Over and over again I asked The same question that plagued my mind Though it held an answer so hard to find At last I found it would speak to me Give the answer I thought I may not see I asked for my means of escape and for it to be true “To escape, the person you must **** is you.”

This Prison
Regardless of whether you're here or not I'll lay awake tonight And every night that follows And I'll think of you Your voice will lace my cries Your being will haunt the tears I have been forsaken Regardless of whether you notice I will draw blood again Maybe once Maybe hundreds Even the closest can be blind to it all All it took Was to see How little I meant to you To bring me back so low To know that I'm a game again A simple pawn for the playing I'm screaming out your name Though I know you can't hear me All the while knowing I'm hardly a blink to your eye Can you not see me? Or do you simply just Not Care?

Playing The Pawn
Everything ends Even you Even me So take this dagger And plunge it deep As we lay dying Our blood pools as one Our fingers intertwined I look in your eyes I see freedom A world without pain A world free from hardships As we lay dying Our memories behinds us Both good and bad None of it will matter Now we are one and the same

One and The Same
Promise not to fade from my eyes Promise not to fall to the hands of defeat You're all I need You're all I have You're all I am I stand here battered and broken My feet tethered in this hell My demons clawing at my skin I'm grasping for your hand Don't you say I've given in I'm holding to this broken heart As I watch you fading away You're letting go You're giving in You no longer see me here You're fading into darkness All the while I'm chained to you Our hearts are set in sync Our bond written in blood You're bringing about your death And I'm fallowing all the while

You and Me
And the depression hits Like a raging winter Icing my veins Chilling my soul A vast emptiness Soon to consume me Eager to eradicate All that I am Festering Loneliness And eating away inside These hollow inhibitions Filling my lungs I am a mere host to you My demons A slave to you Your cruel intentions Maybe this longing will suffice Prolonging this ever longer An eternal slumber to my sanity An eternal request for the end

Sleepless Slumber
This pain I feel Not my own The welkin low and grey The tears of the sky Cascade forth from my eyes Stealing the sorrow from the heavens Such a gloom hovers Inhaling into tar-struck lungs The trees veiled in the gray This shadow conceals me In my infinite Not all that is eternal is right A cold stone heart Still forever That being eternal A frost sinks in The chill felt through my veins An endless winter An eternal torment Can you see the beauty? The grace of death My one true friend We are forever apart How I long for you Dark clouds sink Giving way to more frost A cold transparent

The Winter
We all have corrupt minds No matter how we deny it Through time they are tainted What dictates how Each person comes to be Is how they come to pass Through the corruption Through the outside voices That muddle each choice The truly good are those Who manage through the pollution Who see past the litter Those who can differ the true from the **** That live gives It is a sight discovered Not taught It is a sense of mind developed Not cheated It is clarity

Corrupt Minds
This, this emotion Some form of disillusion And they question why Questioning me As they question themselves I embrace the fog The same one that holds it all My past My present And the end The one that is my future I have little time left That little I hold dear Each word with precision I have learned to hate This time The time I have left Spent only with those Too familiar with my end Or to unknowing To have some semblance of a care They came to drive me toward this This wanting This longing for death Suicide is no longer there That option I had It would only be pity now In the eyes of the strangers I draw back my words now Regress into silence Take my tears Take my breath Take my soul This longing Consuming Ensuing The sooner it grows near The less my voice rings The less I am heard I am transparent Fading Save me from this This digressing host This uninhabitable being Free me from myself
