quietly observing the area within sight
surrounded by the stench of the dumpsters
hearing squeaking sounds in the night
its keen eyes swiveled to pinpoint the noise
in the distance it spots its target
climbing over a spilled garbage bag
the ragged mouse was starving yet
working so hard to sniff out anything
edible which could be its next meal
being quick on its feet it realized it
was being watched so it ran so fast
to get away from what it saw as
its enemy the greedy rat

muddy ice
white as
styrofoam
empty heart
soul darkened
with thoughts
chilled deep
to the bone
so hard
very cold
never warm
enough to thaw
this frigid yet
frozen fire alone

failed yet false
exploding smile
belly full of butterflies
heart skipping pulse
in lost of illusive alibis
time measured and deceiving
lies over lapping lies

teeth and fist  
tightly secured
hard as stone
belly knot tied
blocked tears
resisted
it was me
who cried

living through silent droplets
that fall from the eyes
unable to forget the wounds
written by the fallen lies
down the red stained cheeks
with belly knots and ties
the broken hearts hurt soul
tries its best to hold on while
hope is slowly being stolen
by lies over lapping lies

you didn't even cared to know
my sadden soul was dying
twisted in crumbling emotions
drowning me in such sorrow
the dark shadows continue to
stain my heart black with pain
the stench of worry lingers as
the tightening barbwire of stress
clawed through my mind crevices
cutting away my desire to dream leaving behind deep scars that still holds hurt
I haven't lost complete control of my heart now it's covered with fading perfume of sadness

infused with strength
escaping the devious ways
of a dark suductive soul
continually breathing in those
spoken words known to be lies
leaving behind the scars
that's very hard to disguise
