The Monster Eating us All
Ashley Tarantino Nov 2018
Time is a monster,
that eats away your soul.
A nibble here.
A nibble there.
Until it takes its toll.
Unstoppable.
Unmeasured.
Undeniably the truth.
Time is a monster.
And it's favorite food is youth.
It's really suffocating to think that every breath you take is a moment slipping forever away.

A Reflection...
Ashley Tarantino Nov 2018
A reflection is a sea of sadness.
A reverse of everything wrong.
A place to stop and watch the madness,
      claiming the weak and the strong.
Shattered glass.
Shards of a life,
           scattered on the floor.
They stab and break your broken heart,
       Until it beats no more.

Hope is a hopeless thing
Ashley Tarantino Nov 2018
Hear the beating of a heart.
Hear it stutter? Hear it start?
Watch it as it falls apart.  
Taste a flavor far too sharp.
Touch the pieces of my heart.
While it's still beating....
With darkness retreating....
Then, maybe...
         the bleeding...
                       will stop?

Revenge?
Ashley Tarantino Nov 2018
Revenge is the minds defense against something that cannot be defended against,
...PAIN
Repeated over and over in my head until i wrote it down.
