Read on fellow lovers of eccentric words. Read on.
Intimate glances made between a shy waitress and metal head cook. Her face flares as red as the tomatoes she cuts from his one simple look. She takes an order, with a note attached. He calls her name, to understand the format. "Mayo on the side?" he questions her with his sky blue eyes. A lump forms in her throat, trying to get the words to rise. "Yes." she replies, turning her head away. He winks and smiles. This is how they'll continue their day. With, intimate glances, made between just them. Here, the intensity of a fire begins to stem.

You cannot understand others, Unless you know yourself. Anxiety ridden fools, Placed in a shelf. Hung out to dry, Like sundays chore. Look deeper and see To the core. Misunderstood, confused lines Of deep rooted persistence, Give way to the mere thought Of our excistance. Express, then, Underlying emotions of a simple human body, Make being abnormal your Second nature hobby.

Tragedy
Through life we swim, And barely breath, Only every now and then receiving air, Simply to dive back under and Continue to swim.

Swimming
The hunger to scratch and claw upon the flesh of my face is usually when my mind begins to vanish without a trace. Descending into darkened madness fills me with fear but the descent has begun. Insanity is near. There, I see a body, hanging from a rope. Dead and gone is the feeling of hope. Blood splattered across the walls beckons me to walk these gruesome halls. The need for open flesh grows stronger. Insanity won't be held back much longer. A knife to the wrist, then a quick twist, will give way to everything delusion has wished. A smile etched upon my face, while a giggle escapes my lip, as my heart begins to race, making me lose grip. I allow the fall and descend into madness, but when I am there, I begin to panic. Where is the girl I once knew? Before darkness grew, inside her like a wildfire, creating the need to bleed dire. Yet here I am, with red on my wrist and hand. The descent isn't so fun, once you finally land.

Insanity
He dragged me through hell, but as long as he was holding my hand I called it love. Hoping and dreaming for realities sent from above.

Footsteps
"Go deep," she said. Gliding her fingers across my hand. Where do I start? How do I begin? Well I guess with any mistake, it began when I finished my gin. I thought about heading to her place, Even through the cold and rain. But I hesitated when I pictured her face Staring back at my intoxicated pain. I would have heard it all before. Her words of disgust and how I'll never change. And then I'll plead and tell her I'll never be the same. Then I thought what I'd go home to. A room full of **** and empty tins of chew. So I decided to say **** all this." And step back out into the rain, And into the abyss.

Into The Abyss
Here's my heart, In my hands. Forgetting all the cans And cant's. So thoughtlessly I destroyed myself To give you all that I am. Now I'm trying to stay high on the feeling, smoking a gram. Love and lust Easily turned to Hate and disgust Rage and fury burn in my brain, Growing louder and louder. I'd like to dip your heart in liquid nitrogen, smash it, Then snort the powder. If only that could amount to the Pain I feel. Bringing me to heaven, only to drop me to hell was all too real. As real as an overdose, Skipping my life to its fate. But what would be the point, If it was all because of hate?

Hate
Cease thriving on these feelings, Oh heart of mine. Or at least bestow upon me a sign, Where the stars shall align, And lend reason to this rythem and rhyme, Of things that only seem to waste my precious time. Is love the only epiphany of your life, Oh heart of mine? Only moments ago we ran on grief and strife. Must your coal black complexion distort to red at the thought of being a wife? Does he even love you back? Or will more sorrow simply arise? Heed the words I speak to you, Oh heart of mine. Do not turn your pigmintation to that pitiful crimson hue. You act as though you're willing to be broken in two. Tell these feelings adieu. Do not let them ensue, Lest you want to peg me with anguish through and through. This is what I beg of you.

Foolishness
Fear emerges in the midst of love, and lust. Will you be able to handle my lack of trust? Entertain my heart and say all will be fine. Then let my foolish brain learn that you are lying. Love is my drug and I'm addicted to the feeling. But heartbreak will leave me bleeding. Stop. Go. Echo in my head, while shallow waters I continue to tread. This broken heart you cannot mend. As I patiently search for the end.

Don't Think
The long free road we walked, chasing the dreams we so desperately sought, was ripped out beneath our feet, and replaced with labor... just so we could eat. Repeat after me, "I am free." With debt chained up to our knees. We are slaves to the one percent, when all we wanted was to be free.
