English Hello, / I am Sherrie. And yes, I feel the voice of something right next to me, whether it be RUBBISH or something with some hope to it...some possibility of promise...I have no clue and do not care to be honest. Here I cut open my heart so you can judge for yourself...but I will keep it open regardless. Good day.
I beg to be lifted,taken and quieted pleading for mercy of darkness waking with dread standing near to my head waiting patiently there for death's kiss there is no peace nor bliss Each day that passes drives deeper the blade in this mess of a life, in my bed I have laid this emotional mess, won't deny that I made I beg to be finished,ended and quit screaming in silence so loud I walk, catatonic, the hell is harmonic and wouldn't my daddy be proud You've done all these things that a woman should do and oh, did I mention, I am so proud of you just remember those sermons that always rang true. hell awaits those who end their own life just grit your teeth girl, and be a good wife. I wake one more morning tight gripping that knife

What is worse?
my pleasure would lead me away from that which had drove itself deep of that which has anchored its home and that which has claimed me as thine my heart would tell me to follow and its beautiful lies pulled me on and the words , the riddles did soothe the flesh that still clung to my bones I tried to find pleasure in others to minus the fool that I have become to dull the pain which loving you brings to soothe away that which is wrong i find comfort in song as it dwindles down low into the night of dispair the touch of you hair between my fingers the torturous lie i choose to believe may more of a pain than a cure.

why I do this
I wonder what your words mean when spoken softly to me I wonder if you hide away your feelings for today I sit in darkness waiting yes, I wait for you it seems to make me reach for heaven in your sweet ******** dreams And these silly boys who love me and these vampires, yes they bite and I will write my poems so deep into the night and he will sigh and smile and they will think its true but baby just remember my verses are for you.

The Star sings to Coyote
I may be one of the most confused people who have ever lived or either the biggest fool. Whichever it is: I guess it doesn't matter. I lay with my head in his lap as he played with my hair. He smiled that wonderful smile he did and ran his hand across my forehead. His voice was like some silken material rubbing against itself and so I sighed at the softness of it. I didn't know what magic he used or if he did at all but I couldn't shake it and I hated my weakness. He spoke and at first I didn't hear a word. My mind had wandered to the point of his goodbye. It would be soon as all he did anymore was drop by to say hello. What was the point anyway? "You are beautiful." he spoke in my ear and I smiled. The sugary sweetness of his words dripped into my ear and down into my soul. This is why I hated him sometimes. This is why my heart ached so. He would speak such beauty to me and how special I was and then he would leave me. He said he did not lie to me but his actions were so inconsistent. I rose up from his lap and just stared at him. I couldn't take my eyes from his and I felt the tear threatening to come. I know he hated it when I was sad but I was just so sad lately and no, I still had not found that light he wished for me to find. The light that was here in front of me was just so bright that I saw no other. "Why do you speak those things to me and then stay away for so long?" I allowed him to take from my eyes the truth of my doubt. Yes, I doubted because no one had every told me the genuine truth. No one that I could remember. I had found that all others before him were liars. It was almost as if I wanted him to be a liar so I could find it before it found me, so I could fix me before I ******* up as I always did....so I could go away before I was rejected. He sighed and I could see he was about to reprimand me again. "You know I have to leave, and as a matter of fact...I have to be going." He reached out and caressed my cheek smiling. My shoulders dropped and I nodded. "Yes, of course." I dropped my head as well to hide my hurting. "Hey, you're the best you know." He reached out to hug me and I allowed it as I always do. I hated the hold he had on me. whenever he is gone, I think of all the things I want to say. I think of all the angry accusations I want to throw at him to quell my hurting. But everytime he says hello, I just can't do it. And even as I try to walk away, I hear his voice in my ear, and his touch on the wind. He is just a man, a man like any other so why do I feel this way?

Your pain, I taste it on my tongue and roll it around in my mouth mixing it with my own agony to create a sweetness that is simply unfathomable. You join me in  the night and listen to my giggles cackling and breathless playing As the southern breeze passses over my thighs you feel it upon your hand, a gentle caresss I gasp, and realize that you are with me Turning to and fro flitting between the trees My eyes are wide, I feel you here. Weaving between the borders of evergreen grasping the limbs and pushing them aside. My heart races and I catch a glimpse of something then it is gone

A Glimpse
oh, defeat that she will give past the time she wasted, live yet,  the tears did drown the sive but, she still tried to catch them. Oh, she was the best to please to all of them and all of these make behave and make believes but never did she give it heart cave in so as  is we drama filled as I may be yet so true that you don’t see what she felt,  she owned it. needed and yet seperated the baby cried and so  frustrated cried. oh woe, for woe is traded is she.* wipes eyes* yet, undone? She wandered here and yet she knew and wandered there and never true until she found her heart in you peace and yet her heart is void. heart felt empty still unknown Those accusations made alone wrapped around the rag and bone choked her half to hell and back fame her weakness made her limber finding in herself the member she hated that she could remember heart so dark. She held it near. resented  the betrayal lept into flames burned all except someone she admired and kept in his darkened ego. she felt it and the  desperate plee to understand the ways, and the reasons for her groveling plee sit within her loss and cried Of the dwindling pride did  stir it made the hate well up in her make believe and then did stir fear of invisible nothings. Oh, but words, her only friend took hold her hand with hungry pen another world so deep within made a better her for her pulling threads that surely scar bound and stitched her hurt by far like the strings on a guitar pulled so close she was them wounds o wounds with scars that drip from her eyes I took a sip with my hand i traced the rip that made her smile again.

In the old back woods we watched him lay to see his soul before the world in this captivity. In the old back woods he spoke a language be in mumblings incoherent to be as he should be. A rag, a bone and hair he shrank two sizes, three and scampered underneath the leaves among the tree. His eyes so beady blackened he still could stare at me and he led his army onward to make the putrid flee. A tail so long and mangy flipped two and fro in glee as he motioned for his cousins to chant the words of we… in order to be free.

There Be Rats
It plays over and over inside my head a tune it directs and composes closing my eyes, with poison in vein feeling the words he discloses The fruit swells and ruptures into me I feel it enter then leave grabs my wrist pulling me free filling me up as I breathe A smile, a tear and a fight until dawn convulsions as pain spews forth heart trembling and shaking and feeling you and this is just where we would start It says to my heart "Shhh...let me speak. I have much to say" --the thing within calms and it soothes me "I will eat it, and take it, oh take it away "then for a while..you will see colapsing onto reality I search for a reason for this the rthym it falls onto my ears I beg for the muse and his kiss I feel the tingle on my lips of one who was near another tear falls cementing my fear .... I hear it cry with new sight I feel its warmth oh so near something was spoken at birth in my ear drawing me, bringing keeping me here It is written.

Written
She drew out her pen and started to write I could not see her intentions Her love was unreachable but surely she'd try to show him her silly pretentions after all...what did she have to lose Her heart was transparent..i saw it, i did and my heart reached out to her sorrow She pushed her cheap pen and created words that gave her false hopes of tomorrow after all...what did she have to lose And when she was done with that letter she wrote she folded it and put it to post with a deep heaving sigh, she first closed her eyes and thought of who she loved the most after all...what did she have to lose And when days had passed and she pulled on her dress her heart tried to jump from her chest she ran to the post with excellent glee and giggled guiet silly and you know the rest after all..what did she have to lose But time went by quickly with nothing returned as she sit and waited so long her heart grew so cold and her body grew old but nothing could take her sweet song after all...what did she have to lose

What did she have to lose?
The light is fleeting,as you know. As light disappears I am left with darkness again. I cannot make the light. I have tried numerous times to stay within it but it eventually fades back. The light is stong, although, as I hold you in my arms. As I smell your scent, I am filled with such human emotion of contentment. The voices which cover the globe turn to whispers and the visions fade. For a moment there is only you and I. A moment...a short moment in time. I crave to take you. I want to fill your life in my blood. But I could never bring myself to harm you. It seems you have charmed me far from the point of being charmed. My conjures work not on you. My canines chatter with anticipation of the bite. You shh me again and so I lay my head back onto your shoulder. You are strong and protect me from myself. "I must go." YOu say as you hold me away from you. Your arms are strong and I almost let you hold me. "I only wanted to hold you and to make sure you were okay. But, I cannot stay here." I frown and realize quickly what I am to you. My heart struggles with your descriptions of me. I am this, I am that but I can never be. The riddles astound me. But the light, oh the blessed light. YOu give me the light with no death, no pain then you take it away leaving the pain and the death. Are you from hell? I wonder as I clack my fangs together,and should I just bite you now? You are human, but your eyes bore into mine as though they know my very soul. You know the creature that I am and yet you are not afraid. You come to me when I am at my deepest of dispair. Right before I have given up, you appear and dangle the light in front of me. I swat at the light just like a little kitten, then you say.. no no no.... You leave me again and take the light with you. The hunger returns.
