Bright sun.
Sunkissed skin.
Cases of beer,
and cigarettes.
Blue ripple water,
heated by the rays.
Me and you
on the day
that lasted forever.

Wet hair and
wide smiles.
Laughs,
and love,
and affection.
Skipping work
and faking sick...
****,
Those are the days
**I miss.
This is all inspired from a picture of my best friend and I. Staring at it brings back a flood of happy memories!

I am the devil in the night.
I scourge, and haunt, and terrorize.
All those who see me stop with fear in their tracks.
All do their best to avoid such a horror like me.
Those whom provoke me regret their actions,
for I rip them limb from limb.
I will show them the worst pain they have ever seen.

The sorrow that consumes me is not because of a lost love. More like a 'lost me'. I don't know what's happening to me. My happiness seems to disintegrate with every breath I take. I try breathing slower, but nothing seems to work. It's like I live my biggest fear every single day. Is that not the worst thing to feel? I am so frightened that I will be alone for the rest of my life. Look's like I got a head start. I don't want to wander this earth trying to find my niche by myself. If I'm going to be lost, I want someone to be with me. I don't want to be floating around and not be sure if something happens if I will have someone or not. Isn't that frightening? What's worse is that I don't even feel like I have a story. I'm not even the main character in my life. I just happen to be a recurring person in the background. I am so overlooked, and unneeded, and useless. The only thing I can give to the world are my words and my art. That's it.
I am just so tired of feeling this. I hate my emotions. I hate that I have no one to talk to, I just keep it inside and it festers and it boils and it's just slowly destroying me. It's terrifying to be like this and have no one to confide it.
Slowly sliding into my dreadful depression slump. I hate seeing myself get this dark.

A smile to illuminate the room,
or maybe just a lonely heart.
With a touch like Midas,
your fingertips feel like heaven.
Oh, how I know the angels stare
at your ever lasting beauty.
Your words exalt you
to the highest of highs.
Placed on a pedestal,
you take your throne.


With slight change in mood,
your words burn like fire.
Eyes like Medusa,
all who pass freeze in fear.
Melodic voice turned to
the shriek of demons.
You tower and terrorize
from the pits of hell
Roaming the night,
stealing wretched souls to crush.

Loved and feared,
are you a god or monster?

The last
Single
Golden
Thread
Seems to hold the whole
Weight
Of the
World

Once was a
Strong
Thick
Cable
But over times my
Troubles
And
Vices
Cause it to
Slowly
Wither
Away

Oh, How I depend on that
Single
Golden
Thread
To keep this
Tired
Worn
Soul
Stitched together in
Such
Great
Fear
That this all will
Quickly
Crash
Down

I invision it all to
Suddenly
Catch
Fire
And unfortunately
Burn
Me
Alive

There's something
So
Beautiful
The way words fall upon paper.
Each sentence a
Heartbeat,
Each comma the pause in between.
Every thought written in the life line.
Each expression
A breath
Of
Fresh
Air

Together
are we in blackest of
night. Is it because our souls are
attracted to the darkness? Maybe it's because the
dim lighting helps us be ourselves, but not totally be seen.
Whatever it may be, it's the most alluring time of the day.
I look forward to the sun setting, Because
**I know of what comfort
is to come.
