Inescapable time, unfailingly ticks
until the break of imperative bands
serrated nails, lethal ******
a throbbing head in tremulous hands
Punctured holes, enlarged by rage
a desperate personality to never quit
for a replica will ultimately disengage
from a brain that's split
Tiny beads of perspiration form
mutilated bands snap as I relapse
dampened palms, insides warm
my mind is seized as I collapse
Devoured by control as I foresaw
an identity murdered to emerge again
my blood dripping, her finger tips raw
for she awakened as one, at ten past ten.

Entranced above the void holes of darkened eyes
the ***** of indecisive heels balance on the edge
incessantly tipping back and forth
to the manic rhythm of irrepressible thoughts
An irretrievable adoration is pulled deep within
perishing the many years of distressful memories
the paralyzing trance blinking from existence
as ambivalent eyes vanish within the vacant holes
Emotionless to the echoes of my dejected voice
an unsympathetic breeze pressed upon the cheeks
of a shadow diminishing further into the depths
as I descend within his eyes.

Hanging on a weakened nail
hidden just beyond fraudulent glass
the vile mask on the other side
of the impeccable portrait enframed
Naive eyes, blinded by distorted ways
as deceptions were glossed over
though transparent, were not seen
nor heard, past mendacious lips
Unhanging a diminishing adoration
a cherry wood falls from the wall
indentations, untrusting fragments
adorn the tiles of a bare floor
For inauthentic memories to release
trickle, down upon morose cheeks
seeping through credulous hands
onto the photograph unframed.

Heavy foot steps imprinted wooden boards
though impressed by an absent soul
an isolated mind, formed of intricate cords
I am aching, bleeding through a lonesome hole
My trembling legs stand before hollow eyes
encircling me on dull rickety chairs
I unstitch the fictitious smile of my disguise
bare oppressive scares, all despairs
To mirrors of indistinguishable faces
tears seaping into the floor, for they understand
the gripping pains and benumbing embraces
the destructive limitations at hand
For our dispirited faction of slumped backs
anxiously awaiting for when the sun appears
to fade our scares, dry the floors dampened cracks
absorbing our souls of abounding tears.

Loosely wrapped around forsaken skin
ragged garments of a vagrant grey
curtains of frayed threads
concealed layers of unforgiving soil
sheltering indigent knees
Perforated shoes pressed upon numbing stones
imploring hands stretched outward
seeking sympathetic eyes
indispensable fragments of hope
descend within a degrading cup
A forgotten smile emerged
through an ever fleeting contentment
as pocket change cannot obscure
years of struggles implanted within
the weathered visage of a beggar.

Under the darkened wings of her soul
lies a heart cloaked in deceit
tormented by the love she stole
by the lives that were left incomplete
Encaged for leaving infidelities scars
for her destructive soul to reform
she's entrapped by cold lonely bars
until her dark wings transform
When her past has been shed
hinges to the door will disengage
when pure wings out spread
she will be freed from her cage.

Ripping off my unappealing skin
the agonising pigment of my complexion
to release the pain held deep within
under the flesh of a dysphoric reflection
Torn veins peacefully rest at my heels
as I drain the blood from my face
until what once was, forever conceals
the vision of me I couldn't embrace
So I chisel away at the exposed bone
obliterating the imperfect structure of me
as mangled pieces are viciously thrown
faraway from where the eyes can see
Feeling serene as my unconscious rage dies
as I covered the remains of my dissection
looked into the mirror through porcelain eyes
as I held to my face a mask of perfection.

Satanic finger tips glide across the glass
as I am entrapped within a mirror
watching in my delirium as you pass
silently awaiting for you to draw nearer
For you to look deep into darkened eyes
to dig my nails into your deceptive skin
pulling you inside, where the true you lies
to the evil you repress within
As transparent tears trickle down your face
a viscous scarlet blood drips off of mine
as your unfortunate existence will erase
when a body and reflection combine
Bound to me, by torturous chains
my imprisoning glass blood spattered
inaudible screams trapped within the remains
of the mirror that was unframed, the glass shattered.

Saliva drips from the mouth of a savage beast
his yellow murderous eyes fixated on mine
my tears of terror had suddenly released
as he jumped on me, snapped my spine
With my face pressed into the moist dirt
my horrid screams seeping within
piercing nails tare through my shirt
as the nights moon illuminates my skin
Jagged teeth sink into my defeated back
my body motionless from the blood shed
veins torn out, pressured bones crack
as ruffled fur stains a slaughtered red
Arteries and flesh paint the cold ground
howls echo through the soundless night
feeling his warm breath as he comes around
fangs pressed on my pale neck, for one last bite.

Perforated knees tremble over metal
blood painting the links as I crawl
my hands scabbed and brittle
upon each movement a painful squall
Pensive tear drops fall to be found
as my heart carries the many strains
of restoring a soul that's bound
finding the key to my restricting chains
The stains of my blood disappears
agonising wounds have all healed
my eyes opening serene of tears
unveiling what was once concealed
With my affliction now deceased
underneath my fears I found the key
the strength and courage that released
the person within, I have longed to be.
