Samir Mohammed Jul 2021
Your words are like poison
Venom from a snake
On my tongue like medicine
I love the way it tastes
Samir Mohammed Jul 2021
You say I've changed
Into something I can't recognise
Yet still I wage
War on your cold scathing eyes

So tell me who
The predator or the prey?
You look into the mirror
And see everyday

True colours are but shades
Wearing them like an effigy
Plastic, like make believe tales
Is this who I'm meant to be?
Samir Mohammed Jul 2021
I have a confession to make
I'm a manipulator
I'm a fake
My heart is a glacier
I love to see you break

I've an ace up my sleeve
Eyes of the devil
Every lie you'll believe
You're my experimental

You think you're winning?
I'll have the last laugh
No stranger to sinning
Call me the next Faust
Samir Mohammed Jul 2021
There will be no heroes
In our dance of death
So take my hand
And take your last breath

Keep your eyes on me
In this macabre masquerade
And stay light on your feet
Or you'll be the first to break
Samir Mohammed May 2021
I used to love the rain
Those were the days
now my hands are stained
and it can't wash my sorrows away

I used to pray for the fall
The blackened skies and mist
Now I'm lost in the thrall
Drowning in the sea, with the fish

I used to wonder why
The cold felt so endearing
the cries of the sky
Now I'm the one with tears
in my eyes
Samir Mohammed Jan 2021
Knots tied like boy scouts
Wrapped in a burlap sack
Withering hope and flames going out
Slithering rope and my neck snapped
Samir Mohammed Dec 2020
A shell, an armour of stone
Cold as the touch of ice
Eternal darkness left alone
Left to my devices, in a prison of spite
Warning to be harkened
Eternal darkness left in this place called home
