Confession
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
I'm not a saint
I must confess
When I'm done I hope of me
You won't think any less

It started when I was 19 years old
When I decided It would be fun
To swing on a strippers pole

Now it was fun
I'll admit that's a fact
But the happiness I portrayed
Was all just an act

Next on the wheel of disaster
Alcohol was the the slave
I sought to master
In the end I found
It was not the answer

Along came the drugs 1.. 2.. 3.. 4
I tried them all
And maybe a few more
But I just ended up lying
In a pool of blood on the floor

All my friends
And family I left behind
Just so I could lose myself
In my own mind
After a while the way I was living
Lost it's shine
And eventually
I had to draw the line

So from the dark
Drug filled place
I found a brighter
Cleaner head space

One where everything wasn't wrong
And where I truly felt I belong

Now I live a life
That is clean and pure
Cause from that mess
I found the cure
She is cute and sweet
It is her I adore
She gave me a reason to live for.

I Write
Melodie Fowles Nov 2017
When i write poetry i am stripping for you
Exposing my inner self
And laying it bare for all to see
Sharing my innermost thoughts and feelings
So i am fragile and naked before you
So you can gaze upon my words and understand
How i see the world and who i am deep inside
This act is a sharing of my soul
An open unashamed expression
Of trust between me and you
And i offer it to you with no expectations.

If
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
If
If I gave you my smile
Would you give me yours
Run your finger along it
Touch your forehead to mine

If I gave you my hands
Would you give me yours
Hold them gently
Our fingers entwined

If I gave you my body
Would you give me yours
Wrap yourself around me
Till we can no longer be defined

If I gave you my heart
Would you give me yours
Love me with a passion
Of our own design

If I gave you my soul
Would you give me yours
Merge the light and dark of them
So we can't be confined

If I gave you my demons
Would you give me yours
Let them play together
In our strange minds

These are the Ifs that I ask of you...
I only hope you will answer me true.

The Silence Is Deafening
Melodie Fowles Oct 2017
Swaying in the middle of a roaring crowd
Heartbeat steady, I can't hear a sound
The silence is deafening

On the bus with so many around
Facing forward, head hanging down
The silence is deafening

Sitting at home, family full on
Eyes shut, my mind gone
The silence is deafening

Standing in a long checkout line
Switched off, stare on, all's fine
The silence is deafening

At a party with friends on a Friday night
Standing alone, music loud, dim light
The silence is deafening

The silence we hear when our minds shut down
When thoughts are deep and in silence we drown

Enjoy these times for what they are for
An escape from the madness, till our minds restore.

A Demonic Affair
Melodie Fowles Apr 2018
Gnarled around
Your rotten core
Flesh and blood
Disintegrating gore

Shambling along
A decaying corpse
Eyes closed tight
Now they no longer work

Each tread endured
Drains your ***** soul
Never once worthy
Never once whole

Your thoughts run so filthy
For that you've always been guilty

So chant along
To the darkness that is night
The darkness that permeates
This stagnant life

Your on a desolate road
To your own destruction
Never able to exist
Without deaths seduction

Stripped of flesh
With every person you encounter
No sense of self worth
So your soul they devour
Your surrender to their torture
Gives them all of your power

Hang your head and take what's due
You know you deserve it
And know it's for you

Savouring the pain
That's stripping you bare
It's all you understand
A demonic affair
Demons possess you
In this unholy lair
Always together
As your life they snared.

Crossroads
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
So much
Is far and gone from me
And still I fight
For my soul to be free

I've taken chances
Walked a dark road
Advice I never took
And in my mistakes it showed
Now here I stand
At this forked crossroad

I can drop all my fears
Look this new future in the face
Or forever run in darkness
While my demons I chase

I close my eyes
Open my thoughts
And nothing makes sense
The splinters dig deeper
The longer I stand on this fence

My legs are tired and broken
From these circles I've paced
While these voices in my head
Leave me to sigh in disgrace

If the decision I make
Is to go forth and succeed
It may be what will
Set my soul to be freed

Or it could bring more darkness
Leave me worse than before
This is why my mind
Is constantly at war
I need to make this choice
So my soul can finally soar.

Your Nightmare
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I'll give you a nightmare so raw and true
For all the stress you put me through

Drag your body to the ground
Stab you once, don't make a sound

As your blood starts to pool
And your breath begins to cool

I'll cut your neck from side to side
Sink my fingers in as the skin divides

Grasp your ****** flesh with my fingertips
Pull down hard, watch your skin rip

The slower I pull the harder I play
As your lifeless face starts to grey
And your worthless life fades away

Slicing along your ***** bone
Is the most satisfying feeling I've ever known

I hold above me my treasured prize
My gleeful face I can't disguise

From your skin I'll fashion a light
It'll shine and make my darkness bright
Forever mine, always in my sight.

Save Myself
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
I fall to my knees as you run that mouth
We will always crash and burn
When it's the truth we need to learn
Over and over the darkness spins endlessly
Taking a hold of the tension screaming in every nerve
Crushing it till you get what you deserve

I save myself from sacrifice
The blood that rains down won't be mine
I'll save myself from sacrifice
The more you cut the less I mind
You cry, you beg, it's you that bleeds
The husk of your soul that was never meant to be
Crumbles in the aftermath of all the ****** debris

Pointless dramas in a wasted life
Full of scars and memories stuck on constant repeat
These technicolour fuckups have never set you free
Tripping on your fear and hate in a sick twisted sea

I save myself from sacrifice
The blood that rains down won't be mine
I'll save myself from sacrifice
The more you cut the less I mind
You cry, you beg, it's you that bleeds
The husk of your soul that was never meant to be
Crumbles in the aftermath of all the ****** debris

So take these words and choke them down
The lump of your truth will be painful to drown
Your mind is now open to realities lies
It's you that is broken now open your eyes
I want you to watch as...

I save myself from sacrifice
The blood that rains down won't be mine
I'll save myself from sacrifice
The more you cut the less I mind
You cry, you beg, it's you that bleeds
The husk of your soul that was never meant to be
Crumbles in the aftermath of all the ****** debris

A Matter Of Opinion
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
Just because you learned something new
Doesn't make that information true

It was learned from someone
Or somewhere before
A chain of Chinese whispers
That has a lot to answer for

People like to get up on their high horse
Pushing their opinion on others
With aggressive force

The anger that arises
When they are opposed
Leaves the listeners minds
And thoughts closed

Question the validity
Of everything you hear
And in return
Some valuable information
You may just learn
And in your opinion
Others may yearn

But if you choose to be opinionated
And can't rise above it
Then you can take your opinion
And you can shove it.

Demon Of Flesh
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
Come to me my little fiend
Come dine with me
On the blood of the weak and thine enemy

Demon of flesh and darkness of old
Take him down before you in his arms he enfolds

Slashing at flesh, cackles of glee
The demon strikes at your miserable plea

He says don't struggle now, your souls bound to me
Nails of searing heat tear at your flesh
As your agony and his delight, like light and dark firmly mesh

He is yours and now you are his
He licks his lips and sighs out a hiss
Take me as i am, your darkness of retribution
Enemies downfall and your weakness persecution.

Cease To Exist
Melodie Fowles Jan 2018
Do you want die
Cease to exist
From this life be taken
As you slice your wrist

You haven't thought this through
If you had you would know
That to yourself
You aren't being true
This life you hate
You can once again renew

Just open your eyes
And look past the darker skies
To the brighter blue
Where the things you want
Are sure to come true
And the light you seek
Can finally shine through
Then these dark thoughts
Will be gone
As if you never knew
There is hope for everyone...
Even you.

My Horror
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
Drag me under and hold me down
The more i choke the faster i drown

Take my horror and wield the knife
You pierced my skin will you take my life

I grit my teeth when the blade sinks in
Moaning in pleasure with this painful sin

I crave my torture to keep me sane
Begging you to do it over and over again

The cutting, the pain, i feel so alive
In this nightmare is where my sense thrive

My nerves on fire as blood fills my mouth
I laugh in glee as the blade slides out

Now you know my secret...
What i dream about.

Power
Melodie Fowles Mar 2018
I am the one
With all the power
And your insatiable hunger
I will devour

Lay you down
Lick and stroke
Slide my tongue
While my hands choke

Your slick body is
For my own personal use
And your corruption
Is my ultimate abuse

I listen to your
Lustful, torturous cries
Drink them in
As I close my eyes

Dripping with sweat
Riding ****** waves
Taking you in
Sick depraved ways

Extracting your gratification
Will be seductively fun
But not until
My own selfish pleasure is won.

Dancing
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
Sometimes
I hear a beat that reminds me
Why I love dancing so much
It's intense surge
Just like a lovers touch

My limbs want to move
In syncopated rhythm
I let go of all my fantasies
That are deeply hidden

Music moves through me
Like a slow burning fire
I'm filled with passion
And rhythmic desire

The tempo and pulse of it
The rush and pleasure of it

It touches me in ways
No other can
Makes me let go of myself
Like I don't give a ****

My heart beats faster
My hips begin to flow
Drowning in the music
I let my body go

My mind soars
My tortured soul flies
Keeping beat to the music
Always satisfies

I'm on a highway of adrenaline
That never stops
Not until that very last beat
Finally drops.

Same Old Track
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
To feel numb, to not look back
Close my eyes and hit that same old track

Oh the bliss, take a deep breath now as i fall into the abyss
All that was broken in me i can now dismiss

Cause it's washed away in this false state of freedom
Where i let go and have no fear of my demons

But this place is not safe to hide
It's a killer and will cut you up inside

Cause great pain and conflict
Drag you down much further than before

Even have you lying in your own blood on the floor
Even then you will hear yourself say
Just one more hit...one more fix...one more day.

My Arcane Side
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I've always closed my eyes to perceive my arcane side
Pushed all disorder aside so it no longer has to hide

The journey it takes me on is never calm and sweet
It's full of horror and shadows so chillingly complete

Games of merciless mischief and screams of tortured souls
It makes my interest peak when i of my fantasies take hold

And this blood that drips in oh so many ways
Drips splatters and pools and keeps my manic gaze

I run my finger through the gore and to my lips i taste
Musn't let any drop miss my mouth and go to waste

Next on my list is torture so entertaining
Your limbs i'll stretch till it is squeals you are making

Then to your soft pink belly i'll take a sharp blade
Till all your ****** hot insides are on the table neatly splayed

As you gape at me with terror in your eyes
I carve out your heart for my victory prize

Now that i have set your worthless heart free
I sit in your blood and laugh with maniacal glee
Joyful in the knowledge that your adorable heart you gave to me

Deams
Melodie Fowles Jan 2018
Sometimes I wonder
If you dream of me
In your mind
You and I you see
Conversations
That make our heads spin
Romantic trysts
That leave us with a
Constant grin
These dreams
I wish you had of me
Would be so much better
If they were reality.

Betrayal
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
I can't say sorry
Or take back the anger I gave you
It's a burden deep in my soul
That needs to depart
You broke me down
Ripped out my heart
And tore it apart

I hope she was worth it
Cause I know
I never deserved it

She was my best friend
You should have known
It would bring about the end
You both strung me along
Till your friends ratted you out
I guess you never realised
I was someone your friends cared about

And now here we are
You standing in the corner
Looking like a lamb
Ready for slaughter

I take a breath let it out
Then look the other way
To myself you are dead and gone
Yet the ache will always stay
And to the one I called friend
I can never speak to again
But that can wait for another day.

The Sea
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
Ah yes, i too wish to be by the sea
So at night my soul can roam free

Riding the waves in the ebb and flow
While my mind is caressed by the gentle wind that blows
The sand between my toes makes me smile as my tension goes

The beach is everything to me
I love the sound, the sight, the sea
It gives me peace and makes me feel free.

Inside
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
I'm scared inside
It's there that I hide

From the outside world
Where the pain and sadness collide

I'm safe inside
And It's there that I hide

From the outside world
Where anger and confusion reside

I'm still inside
And It's here that I hide

From all the feelings I can't confide
The feelings I hope in time will subside

Whore
Melodie Fowles Nov 2017
This is a battle this is a war
You made me your *****, your ******* *****

Manipulated, controlled, exploited misused
Your displays of love left me feeling confused

Crawling in your filth laid bare on the floor
You begged for my loyalty and harrassed me to adore

Spinning in circles your puppet of love
My background of misfortune
Made your abuse fit like a glove

Self doubt and insecurities were wearing me out
I was your follower, to your religion devout
Drowning in your sick attention
Cause self love i was without

Down on my knees you'd push and you'd shove
I knew it was abuse but you said it showed love
I lapped up the attention gazing up at you above

What was i thinking, i guess i'll never know
All i know is my minds been dealt a savage blow
No bruises from violence but your mental abuse still shows
Cause on me your sick love you chose to bestow

Self Degradation
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I'm lying naked, in your eyes i can see your ***** hatred
But i still want it...

Your precious degradation will be my salvation
Create my fate in this hopeless situation

Do i seem so demure?
Behind these eyes i am far from pure

Wrap your hand around my neck
The more you hurt me the hotter i get

Self hatred feeds these sick desires
And just a spark of pain can start the fire

Alone...i want your demons
Lonely...I need your dark
And now...i have your nothing.

Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
Thoughts so shallow
This page ain't deep
Blood, ***, self torture
For your pleasure comes cheap

Hot, sick, twisted images
And I'm breathing hard
Almost over the edge
Can anyone tell how far

Lust is fleeting
But oh so sweet
And the ache deep within I can quiet with my evil sin

My thoughts wander to your flesh so sweet
And your sick, twisted words
Have my heart missing beats

This is my pleasure
This is my pain

Foreign Germ
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I don't think I ever wrote anything that scary
But just because you happened to dare me

I'll weave a tale of fear and dread
A story so vile it'll stop your heart dead

Deep in the night when you're asleep in bed
An creature most foul enters your head

He slits open your papery eardrums with his claws
And sneaks on through without even a pause

He runs his sharp nails along your tympanic cavity
And blood rains down as he licks at it absently

A slit he cuts in your middle temporal artery
Then he slides on in like a thief on a robbery

Riding the current on twists and turns
On the crimson tide he is now a foreign germ

When he reaches his prefered destination
It is here he will wreak his final devastation

Behind your eye he works his claws and drills your bone
Until he hits his mark and lets out a gleeful moan

From his mouth comes a proboscis long and sleek
Then out it's tip a rancid fluid it does leek

Turning your eyeball into slimy mush
He ***** up the fluid in one long gush

Then he squeezes through the hole that he made
And in the eyes remains is where he lays

When he wakes it's through your eyelid he tears
His furtive scrambling's on your face does pierce

As you wake up and the pain you can feel
Screams of terror as to your mother you appeal

The blood streaming slowly down your face
Is acidic and burning as it leaves a furrowed trace

Looking into the mirror in shock and dismay
You realise in horror that in your eye eggs have been laid.

Self Help
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
Under the skin
These feelings crawl
Thoughts laid bare
At your feet they sprawl

Endless emotions
Intricately dance
As the demons make
Their sullen advance

They tear down your facade
Of truth and denial
Drag you forth
Put your conscience on trial

There's no escape
When you glimpse your true blackened soul
It can consume you
And swallow you whole
So let down the walls
And lose control

Give all that you are
Not what others perceive
Cause you are so much more
Than you could ever conceive

Stop wasting your life
On lies and deceit
Or your life's lessons
You are sure to repeat.

Rhythm Of The Rhyme
Melodie Fowles Mar 2018
I didn't sleep again last night
Been 29 hours now but I feel alright

It's so much easier for me to write
When lack of sleep is gripping me tight

My head likes the rhythm of the rhyme
Gotta keep the beat to get the line

The frustration that I feel
When the words in my head aren't ideal

Makes me tense and angry too
I want my words to speak my truth

I scream them from deep down inside
Pull them from my heart and soul with pride

To bring my thoughts on paper to you
They are dark weird and slightly askew.

Tragic Opera
Melodie Fowles Feb 2018
**** it
I'm broken
All the pain I feel
Will be left unspoken
The tears they fall silently
In this tragic opera
Moments alone feel so hollow
And you're so far from me
I can't forget you
You've let a beautiful scar on my heart
And I really need you
Cause I'm falling apart
But I'm so alone
In ice I will place our love
Till I'm able to undo this spell that you wove.

Final Plea
Melodie Fowles Mar 2018
I feel empty and alone
I've lost myself
My heart turned to stone

So much is spinning inside my head
Fear, anger, loathing and dread
I've kept it inside
Kept it to myself
When all I need
Is to scream it out

But no one cares
I never get a second thought
So I just keep it to myself
With these emotions
I've always fought

Sick to my stomach everyday
Thinking of all
That is coming my way

Your anger, my pain
Feeling so insignificant
And small every time
I'm not a criminal
You can't blame me for any crime
I've served my sentence
And it was the hardest hill
I've ever had to climb

Even though I've let it go
My stomach lurches
And the pain still shows

The scars inside of me betray
The hold you have on me
To this very day

Why can't you see
What you've done to me
And let me go
So I can fly free

Away from you
Then maybe you could see
That this is my life
And this is my final plea.

So Fragile
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
At an age where I was so fragile
You took to me with more than I could handle

A hand to the neck, my head through the wall
What did I do to make this anger on me befall
In my room a sock I forgot to pick up was all

You screamed in my face till my brother intervened
It was far worse than anything I could of ever dreamed

Through the years the anger kept on coming
And it turned me into the ***** I was becoming

The time I curled up on the chair
You kicked and punched me, pulled my hair
I may have misbehaved but that punishment was so unfair

You say you gave us kids everything
You did along with heartache and pain
We learnt how to be violent
For that you are to blame

Two of your children are so violent it's sick
Two others it was drugs that they picked

Drugs is the reason that one is dying
And the other one can't stop on alcohol relying

You say you've had such a hard life
It would have been better if you'd been a better wife
A nicer mother to your children
But even they took to you with a knife

I wonder sometimes what would have become of me
If "I love you" had been said to me
Would there still be all this debris
All that's left of this family

My anger at you is still so raw
But unlike you I don't need to settle the score

I've taken my own family and given them love
I give them everything I always dreamed of
It's all I had needed when I was young
But from now on you and I are done.

Alone
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I hate this fear inside me
It's eating me alive
Gotta be silent when I wanna run and hide

With every blow you give me I feel even less
A puppet going through the motions, numb, useless

I am floating, lifeless and alone
In this prison that should have been my home

Dragging me down, I crawl on the floor
Please let there be no more

And I can see the darkness slowly creeping
Tearing my soul as I lie broken weeping

Each day I think i'm done, but another one always comes
My tears fall silently in the hell you spun

I'm so damaged but I wont be undone
Not by this, not by anyone.

Breathe In, Breathe Out
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
Just breathe in, Breathe out
Take control
Don't be in any doubt

That this life that depression stole
Can with selfless love
Be once again made whole

So i'll take your hand and be with you
As this sadness breaks your soul in two

I'll pull you up as you start to drown
Give you my life when you get too far down

Please remember i'm here for you
You're not alone...
Please don't end yourself so soon.

Self Esteem
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I'm gonna make you feel so small,
On your broken knees you'll crawl

I am your only friend
And I'll be the one to destroy you in the end

Make you feel worthless, uncertain and purposeless
And I'm so **** remorseless

Spend your days hiding in the dark,
The fears and guilt I feed you will hit their mark
Just one look in the mirror
And on a downward spiral you'll embark

Wallowing in self hatred and pity
This emotional ride I got you on is gonna make you dizzy

When you're up I'll drag you down,
You'll feel empty and in sadness drown

When you're down on your feet you'll be raised
Just so I can show you it's I who holds the reigns

Nobody likes you...
You're always forgotten
Nobody wants you...
And the scars inside
Nobody cares...

I am the only one that will always be there...
but I only offer you...
Pain...Sadness...Weakness and Fear...
Am I making myself clear?

Kill Me
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I have to block out thoughts of darkness so I don’t lose my mind
They fester like a septic wound, leaving me alone waiting for death
Dropping darkness and insecurity, to remind me that I’m alone
******* with my head till I can’t ever get back home
There’s a self loathing in my mind, Self pity seeping in my brain
And I really want you to just end me, will you take me down again?
And I never even said that I love you or tried to give you hope
Don’t ever try to fix me,
I am still so lost to myself

**** me today, **** me tomorrow
**** me for all the things that I always did to you

I’ve been on my own for 3 whole months
It’s something that has made me completely hate myself
And we were so poisonous back then, and it’s you I’ll never get to touch again
And I will never ever thank you for leaving me so very far behind
While I didn’t ever give a **** about us, you were always on my mind
You drove me mad with your constant attention pleas and a sadness that I hate
It’s something I can never deal with and now it’s way to fucken late
So I’m longing for you to end me now so these sick thoughts can leave my mind
And once again your ever so precious self can leave me far behind

**** me today, **** me tomorrow
**** me for all the things I always did to you
**** me in ways, ways hard to swallow
**** me so you can finally get past what I broke in you

And I never cared for the ways we always fought
And I kick myself for always rising to your **** stupid taunts
Like a stupid ***** i couldn’t let it go
Looking deep in your blue blue eyes, I know it’s me you’ll forever hate
I just wish I could make everything always just go away
I just want all this **** pain to ****** end, so **** all that’s left of me
I know you’re wondering “Why is she doing this to me

**** me today, **** me tomorrow
**** me for all the things I always did to you
**** me in ways, ways hard to swallow
**** me so you can finally get past what I broke in you

Prey
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I write because it keeps me sane
Takes away my sorrow, anger and pain

When my mind switches off or gets stuck on repeat
Words make no sense and i feel incomplete

My lines have no flow and the frustration sets in
Pen poised above paper
Giving up before I can even begin

On with the headphones, Psyclon Nine takes my life
Haunting my head so my hand can write
The rhythm of rhyme pushes my senses to flight

While the energy  incited by the beat of the drum
Has me no longer frustrated and no longer numb

Music is my muse and with it I play
I'm the hunter, the words are my prey.

My Anger
Melodie Fowles Mar 2018
My anger is eating me alive
And just the smallest thing
Can set me alight

This glass in my hand
I wanna smash on the floor
Satisfactions what I'll get
When it shatters
In a million pieces or more

When i'm being spoken to
The thoughts that rage in this head
Would be so much better off
Being left unsaid
Or they'd probably start thinking
I need my head read

But I don't need a doctor
Or drugs or a shrink
All I need is a ******* drink.

Feed My Need
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
The tip of the blade as it touches my skin
Is the ecstasy of pain, now let the pleasure begin

I crave the dance of emotion as contact is made
The depraved breath in, as my skin you degrade

Don't stop now, the sensation is real
Give me pain for my pleasure
Till it's rapture I feel

Stroke my irritation till the blood gently flows
Wrap yourself around me, does my desire now show

Slide along my skin, now it's slick with my blood
Your crimson body now like my lifes new drug

Is this what you wanted, has your soul been freed
Because if you make me want, you better feed my need.

Insomnia Is A Bitch
Melodie Fowles Jan 2018
The stillness in the night
When you fight that sleepless fight
Will drive you insane
From dusk till early mornings light

The demons dwelling in your head
Are all screaming to be fed
Fears and insecurities on repeat
Nothing will be left unsaid

On and on it goes
Till every raw nerve you expose
And you're begging on your knees
For your mind to just close

But insomnia's a *****
It'll make you cry
And every muscle in your body twitch

Till you can't keep still
And yourself you want to ****

For just a moment of peace
And some sleep
Your minds only release.

What is Wrong With Me
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
Alone in my head, it's dark, i'm scared
Shaking in fear, can i be repaired?

Long days and thoughts fighting for attention
Body wired so full of tension

Alone again with my twisted thoughts
Such anger at myself
And this emptiness haunts

Letting go...so hard to do
It's not so simple to be made anew

Frustration in myself with things i cant share
Cause there's no one here
And i'm stuck in thinking "who would even care?"

Sharing my darkness,...such a hard task
Not wanting to burden those that ask

Ive been this way since i can remember
I stoked the fires and tended the embers

Taken away all im left with is my pain
Im wrapped in glass and held down by chains
All i want is to feel safe again...

The Drugs Don't Work
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I can see the shadows ahead of me
Cast adrift on this raging sea

Sleepless inside this insane mind
Forever in this turmoil confined

I take the pills 1, 2, 3, 4
Try to pick myself up off the floor

Plaster a smile upon my face
I hope that i don’t disgrace

When no ones looking the tears start again
I’m just so empty and full of pain

I hate what’s become of me
And hope no one can see
That inside me it’s grown so dark
The drugs don’t work
And it’s tearing me apart.

Slow Creeping Disease
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
This disorder of the mind
Like a slow creeping disease
Separates you from reality and to your past entwines

Lost in it's Labyrinth of sickly woven truth
Reliving each assault like your mind needs new proof

The more you fight it the more tangled it becomes
Till your suffocating on memories and feel you are done

If I embrace the past for all that it's worth
Immerse myself and choke on it till the pain gets worse
Give in to it's redundant soul destroying curse

Then I may be able to abandon it and set this sickness free
Far from my mind somewhere safe for it to be
Cause I can't take much more of this
It's only this disease that I see
And I just want to get back to the real me.

Can I Keep You
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
Can i keep you
Your smile, angelic eyes too
Can  i keep you
In my heart, my soul too
Can i keep you
No one else will do
So...
Can i keep you.

Talk To Me
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
Talk to me and tell me why you're dead
Was it the darkness or sick thoughts in your head

The way you retreated kept you alone and so tightly bound
You were stuck in the solitary recesses of a mind that was unsound

You screamed your silent pleas but no one heard at all
Just looked on as piece by piece you began to fall

The smile you shared was always forced and untrue
And even that died as you slowly became unglued

You wondered why no one noticed as you choked and drowned
Cause you let yourself get worse by keeping no one around
How could anyone have helped you if you never made a sound
If you had just reached out you would have been pulled to higher ground

There were people that cared but you never asked for help
Just wallowed in the mire of self pity and doubt
And now you are dead and the only one left to blame is yourself.

My Head
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
I've been awake for hours, all my thoughts are *******
Time stood still, broken pieces shatter and i'm torn in two
To myself i'm always so cruel

Cause words mean nothing when such painful emotions rule
Reality is lost, i'm floating lifeless in a disaster zone

A sense of confusion fills me and i feel so alone
At times like these i wish i could call my mind home

But it rages and storms and in darkness roams
Till it's so disjointed it feels like the thoughts don't belong
Nothing makes sense, everything just feels so wrong
I need to switch off, need to stop thinking for a while
It's been so long

False Reality
Melodie Fowles Sep 2017
The anguish that festers in our minds at night
Takes a hold when our torment takes flight

Why can’t we just let it go
Slice the skin, let the pain flow

All thoughts and reason could be forgotten
As the sickness inside starts to blossom

Mingled and entwined with your soul
It’s how the sick darkness takes control

On a dark tide of false thoughts and dreams
Reality fights while your inner demon screams

Tearing apart the delightful little lie
Piece by piece as you stumble and cry

All your left with is stark reality
A sense of loss in truths brutality

Open your eyes and remove the blinkers
See people for what they truly are
Or the pain and hurt will forever linger.

— The End —
