A spark-tsk!

Struck on the edge of a burnt-out match

A moment of glory

Then the whiff of smoke

As ethereal as a shadow yet more tangible

than the sorrow

of a sodden matchbox

May we dance in the firelight
And sway in the breeze
Set aglow with you
Amongst the midsummer trees

May these flights of fancy
Become long voyages borne
On the wings of dark angels
Blowing on gilded horn

And when the winter breeze
Creaks open our doors
May the grinning hearth
Warm our hearts to their cores

Watch them all; so merry, so bright
So filled with such wonderful light
Envious of those who carry their souls
In gilded mesh cages of lanterns aflight

Listen as the telltale ravings
Of men and women alike
Take flight and flare like midsummer suns
Amongst the chirps of a hunting shrike

And while the swirling storms batter our doors
Tear apart these terrible floors
So when the daily visitors arrive
It will be through pain that they shall thrive

You are an annoying insect
Slithering into my space
Swarming around me
Ticking off my patience
Crawling up my nerves
Buzzing in my ears
Infecting my happiness
Bugging me more each moment
Yet I cannot bring myself
To **** you

Why do they say ‘suicide is never the answer’?
They never give any other solution, do they?
Just a caution to the wind
A guilt trip to the Internet when you look for methods
If someone put a gun in my hand and told me to defend myself
I’d place the gun to my temple and pull the trigger
If someone told me to stay alive for them
I’d place the gun on the table and do as I was told
Someone once told me to stay alive from them
And it was never my family, it was never my friends
It was someone who was hired to keep me alive
She did a pretty good job at it
Even if she didn’t care, her acting convinced me

I will not stand for you,
You betrayed me
I will not fight for you,
Just yesterday

You left me alone
I drowned and struggled
You just stood there
As they burned me down

So don't bother me no more
No matter what's in store
I will fight alone,
I'll stand alone

Don't trifle with my mind
You're better left behind
No matter the darkness
That strikes me down

I'll do this on my own

A sliver of shattered glass
From a mirror that could never last
This fragment weighs so little
Yet so heavy on my mind

Within it's reflection
Lies memories of you and me
The last piece of a puzzle
I tried to sweep away

I was content when it was only us
But my smile began to fade
As I witnessed my demise
Around me in eternal shade

So don't bother me no more
No matter what's in store
I will fight alone,
I'll stand alone

Don't trifle with my mind
You're better left behind
No matter the demons
That knock me down

I'll protect what I love, alone!

Don't offer that venomous hand
It seems you don't understand
I know you lusted for my pain
That love, born, from sanity slain

I thought you were beautiful
But the truth woke me up
Pleasure from my torture,
Serpentine you are, what the ****!

Don't talk to me at all
You shoved and I began to fall
But no matter what comes next
I will fight until the end

Aloooonee...

No matter what's in store
I will fight until I'm dead on the floor
No matter the demons
That hold me down

I WILL FIGHT ALONE!

*Don't bother me at all...
Drown in your sorrows
See this message crystal clear...
I don't want you near...
I'm sorry, but you should really go...

The toil and the trouble
of making up double
the lies I tell to myself

The pain and the prickle
of feeling so fickle
while the wistful promises pile up

The signals and the sighs
of my bedridden ties
to something I cannot explain

The recklessness and rigor
of my tight-roped vigor
is a strain I'd rather not bear

The laughter and lies
of those mingling with cries
can barely brighten the day

The depraved and dead
of those long gone ahead
is the bittersweet reality of relief
