Everything tastes like a distant blue-
As I inhale a scent swimming in pools of gray.
The back of my mind crackles  and flickers
Within a dim flame of black and white.
The air is restricted to catch it's warm breath.
There is  hesitance and reluctant dissonance
Which is sweet like clean dirt.

Nothing to believe, nothing to be still, no one to bury me.
A quiet cold confronts quite disgruntled complications,
And contradicts a subtle faded thought.
All my brights and dulls caress my body
Leaving a film of dust and desolation to shelter my mind.
Ripples of confronted perfection penetrate my chest,
And life grows distant as I become colorblind.

There is no serenity in slumber.
I'm begging somebody to shatter me.
All of me is captivated in confusion, and summer's sun has set.
I'm steady staring at a world on fast-forward,
Standing still with eyelids stitched open, and lips sewn shut.
Nothing forgives or gives in, and
All that is symptomatic is synthetic and systematically copesetic-
Like the lackluster of lament which lingers  lethargically above me.

But when breath stops short and suspends in the air,
And nothing is to beckon or call it back home,
One finds themself empty, and free-
*And nothing matters anymore.

MAYBE
Sade LK Jan 2014
Let's retrogress-
Feel the heat of your cheap breath on my neck.
I'll confess the regret,
But don't bet I'll be better yet-
Baby steps.
Thrilled by the chill of  ill-mannered rebellion.
Repressed representative for the  out-of-line question.
Guess it wasn't really about much-
Wasn't ever about anything.
I take the time to rewind,
I guess that's my crime;
Remind me to take
A minute- space it-
It don't matter.
Realized my eyes dazed with disaster.
But go faster.
The passion persuays the desire.
I lit this fire just to get higher,
To burn this broken world beneath me;
Teach these lessons which beseech me.
I didn't learn a ******* thing.
At least I could've been my best-
Maybe.

All of these things will leave me  some day.
And all of time will find it's been wasted away.
Everybody's body will decay-
And I know I won't care about anything.

And you don't know anything.
I still don't know anything.
No you can't know anything.
I still don't know.

Frozen
Sade LK Feb 2014
One cold night, a black butterfly took to the stars
In search of itself through all the darkness.
She flew higher and faster than ever before.
But the air was cold and the wind harsh-
It bit through her wings, and she began to fall.
She exhaled a fluttering butterfly breath
As she watched everything she had worked for hit the ground.
Down in a dirt hole, she looked from her jagged wings
To the big beautiful moon, way up in the sky-
And wished she had a friend like that.
Alone in that cold pit of earth, she froze.
And no one cared.

MAPS
Sade LK Feb 2014
Things to think
But not so much to say.
Little fragments that scatter sparkling static
Of weightless notion
Across open miles of flatness.
Yellow prickles of dry dying grass
Stranded in a distant field,
And nobody cares.
Feel the tension in the small muscles of my forehead
Wrinkling and releasing,
Elastic concentrated pressure.
Things to feel,
But not so much to express.
Barren road of endless thought,
Hinting the glimmer of existence
Amongst the desolate air
Dense with nothingness.
Thin streams of clouds whisp around a burning sun,
And spiral their moisture through rays of contradiction.
But nobody notices.
Still the words don't come.
They build up in the gaseous acid of the atmosphere,
And offer no consolation to anyone.
The comfort of being is bitten and pricked
By the dull sensation of an imaginary threat,
But it isn't real.
And there is no one place to belong.
And nothing to say about that.
To no one.

BLEED OUT
Sade LK Feb 2014
Tonight I hacked the **** out of
The medial portion of my right anterior brachium.
Just to torture myself
In a place that wasn't used to it.
The blood spilled in streams
Little specs flicked from a blade
Sprinkled on my fingertips,
Spread across my hollow hands
And dripped peacefully beneath me
To pool in my lap like a
Beautiful collection of art
Each rich drop.
I couldn't tell you what it feels like
To be in pain
Because I couldn't tell you what it feels like
To not
Be
In pain.
My self destruction is my only
Salvation.
So I dug that sharp metal through
These unsuspecting layers of frail flesh
And separated mind and body-
Tearing at the tendonous fibers
'Til an erosive eruption of blood gushing
Snap, and I could almost ******* laugh
At
The
Fact
That I could not feel one thing in me.
Couldn't feel a razor 6 inches in skin
Like I wouldn't feel weight on my chest
Buried 6ft deep in dirt.
So I burned away at my being
With a fury painted red and left me

Numb.

And you ask me why I
Worship pain, it is not
To feel something, it is only to
                                  B L A C K  O U T
Cause I'd like to be dead
But instead
I take advantage of myself
When I can't hurt anyone else
But I
Can't
Help
Hurting
Because it will crawl out of
My torn skin
And infect everything around me
I'd drown me
In my own ******* blood
If I could.
But I can't, so
I'll sure as **** take this chance
To cut my head off with
My own hands,
And maybe one day
I'll just
Bleed
*Out.

Gray Matter?
Sade LK Jan 2014
Word.
A pretty vs vicious
Sometimes inconspicuously meaningless
Infinite means of comprehending communication.
Someone once said
That what's felt in our heads
Wasn't meant to be let out
For have no doubt,
Nobody will ever understand you.
In attempt to sum my thoughts up
I got stuck in a wasteland
Of dismal debris
Leaving me to dissipate through the fabrics of existence.
Look what I have left
An abyss of familiar frigid distantness.
This is meaningless though,
It's getting older
I've spent too much time without respect for order.
Left to float here in between atmospheres
Creating cosmic desturbancess
Throughout desolate universes.
This curse is my burden
Burning me deeper with each breath
Just to check if I'm dead yet.
But don't bet it.
I don't stress it, anymore,
Still not sure if there's anything out there at all.
But inside there lies light living,
Burning just bright enough
To keep the bag of faded gray dust
Slightly a-glow.
Just know, I cannot explain this
With a *word.

In That World (Still)
Sade LK Feb 2014
You speak in violent crimsons that leave my
Dull silver set stuck between sparkling and faded.
I trade this for nothing, because
No one else is around for any optional situation.
It all swirls up in massive horrendous tornados
Of imaginary chaos- ceasing to linger above me.
I get ****** up in the spiral of spinning infinity,
And how everything is exactly perfect, always,
And how it is all completely beautiful, because it is all
Right.
I feel like people never completely understand that concept.
But then again, one can only attempt to relate based on
One's perception- or point of view,
Being based on personal experience.
I guess we have destiny, along with some of our own choices
To thank for that.
Because we should be thankful for what we have
Around us, and also within us.
Because when all else is gone,
We have always got ourselves.
And no one can take that away.
Even when I feel like I'm so far gone,
That I can't even hear those piercing words of crimson.
But my silver is still dull-
At least I know I have some shine, somehow,
And sometime- I will be so stunning,
That I can be a ******* rainbow if I want to.
Because although there is no one around
To bring harmony to all my many colors,
I can paint my own masterpiece,
And I will live in that world
Until this one fades away.

GET FREE
Sade LK Jan 2014
Rip me from reality-
Grasp me firmly
In between the fingers
Of existence,
And let me linger
So I can learn what it's like
To lye on the line of life,
And try to appreciate something real.
There is no feeling here-
Just a break of boundaries
Hell bent on Heaven sent mass hysteria.
Some hypnotic toxin blockin' all of the oxygen.
A concrete cranium of no common origin,
Orchestrated the concept of complex,
To correct the crooked in my corrupt head.
Death didn't stutter or hesitate to state
Once the shutters close you won't know
What is to follow.
So hollow yourself-
Allow it.
Now it's this abyss again
The same place I was always in
Never left, guess the consequences are endless.
Infinite possibilities.
Thrilling me chillingly,
Willingly, I am who I wanna be.
Cause I'm free.
Because I get free.

IT ENDS
Sade LK Feb 2014
Intrinsic distinction
Public justification of
Dissolved disillusions-
Delusional dysfunction.
Call it protocol, call it
Fuckitol, call it
Medication of salvation.
Those desperate endeavors.
Said with no regret, and
Spoken in staggered motion, with
Softly strong bold notions,
No hold could keep me
No pill to sleep me,
Sweetly, still and bitter ill
Is rippling the shadows
Of hollow fill.
And fed me rotting gut tubes
Glued to doom, the dreaded shade
Of shame’s false face
And traded grace for
Fate in pairs, no snare could state
How simply slaughtered was this day
So long ago.
Splintered glass ripped shards to blow
Open stitches sinking under skin
And again, and again
It went like this.
Again, and again,
It came to this.
Again, again,
It ends like this.

New Subject
Sade LK Jan 2014
Feeling paranoid, anxious, like I'm always waiting for life to happen;
What's next? I stress
About situations that haven't even happened yet.
Just to test myself I guess, make sure I've
Got some consciousness left, and some breath
From the lungs I bet, and lost a lifetime to.
It's true I do want something new,
But would never discuss it with you.
I've got nothing to prove,
But I'll provide time to choose what you lose.
Blacks and blues of a bruise...
New subject.
The effect is affecting me slowly
But I go steady.
Still unstable but I stammer to be able.
Gracefully gifted at livin' with a death wish.
Crystallized existence just to prove it was nothin'.
But somethin's always always screamin'
At the back of my brain, it's insane,
I can't stop it.
Regardless, I've discovered a process
To keep the clarity a constant,
I got this, it's obvious.
Don't wanna stop, so I'm not gonna drop it.
You can call it whatever you want, but,
I won't answer to conformity.

Life- endlessly sweeping from shadows
A shuttering still-frame for no shame and pain to gain
Somebody's brain broke so I spoke
Up and shut the *******
Buck done been shot down
No ground to hold him
No cold hole to know him
Rotting
On the road like rage ****.
No intentions left mentioned for *******
Of deep destination, no
Choke of destiny to leave bleeding
Screaming alibis had drove on by
With bitter ailments of the eyes
Leaking black ooze of droop seeping
Unhearted blistered tear ducts.
What luck, huh?
Its never enough
Its never enough
Its never enough
Its never enough

Its never enough
Its never enough.
****** the flesh in it's skin bag-
No remorse for unfinished courses
Vanquished tranquility in unseen forces.
This divorce of life and death
Hesitated with breath and
Broke into silence.

Won't Ever Know
Sade LK Feb 2014
Regretting something said or done
In sobriety
While ******.
Mostly social interactions I suppose
Things I think I shouldn't speak,
Maybe its just me.
Why can't I see the common line
That divides this communal collective
Of what's generally perceived as
Normal.
Maybe its just not in me.
And maybe something's
                                                          Missin­g.
Like its
                 Not
                             Quite
     ­                                       T h e r e .
But nowhere else,
Either.
So maybe if you make me a
Map
Of the way humans should stay on path
I should take it
Like everyone else but I'm gonna have to
Pass on that
Because it would still only be just
As useless as the next thing
Or other
Neither will stitch the pathways like veins
To a translucent permeable
Sieve of a person
Cause these preset standards and demands
Are too much to ask for
The place of blood in these
Hollow vessels.
I should know,
See I've bled myself dry.
I'll scratch at my scars when they itch
But I'll ditch your insistent opinion about it,
Cause I don't need that ****,
Don't need nothin' and not needed.
Just stuck in between lines
On this compass of life
The clock of time
And the lines in my skin.
Wearing the world with
Mirrors for eyes.
Stare in all you like
There's nothing behind
But the knowing I'll never fully describe
Anything to anyone
In a way that is what I mean;
It isn't words that fail me,
But my unfathomable capacity to
Comprehend at all, and if I
Were to conceive a consciousness
Could I ever really communicate to you?
I don't think so, but
I won't ever know.
...
I wonder what sober me
Would say right now.

Spit It
Sade LK Jan 2014
Nothing more than a mere subtle touch;
Nothing but blatantly confessing your life,
To a lost listener behind forgotten ears,
With an empty face buried in cold shaking hands.
Everyone calls themselves "poetic," and spits their words
Like a threat.
The shockwaves of this energy hiss and scratch at my throat.
Everything is voice, everything is communication, everything is about relationships.
But I am being pulled under
And captivated by the drag of consciousness-
Until I am submerged in the vast emptiness,
Engulfed within the abyss I was born to succumb to.

Untitled ramble
Sade LK Jan 2014
Residing peacefully at the apex of all life's twists and knots of reality lies something fathomable only to the individual will of personal  existence. What could be so completely comprehensible and yet so seemingly incoherent in it's infinite entirety? Well, destiny. The only attempt to understand any of this frivolous madness and chaos is to begin by expanding your mind with the thought that regardless of which path chosen- fate will occur.
So no worries.
Although despite the will (however strong,) of the human brain with all of it's expedential  expandable abilities, one can not always attain and/or preserve a firm grasp on attempting or achieving control. This is indubitably so, when considering the beckoning temptations of life's every day situations- gnawing at the material egos of society like a stranger offering shiny hard candy from the depths of the darkest shadow.
What must be lingering at the backs of our minds? What there lies something so dark and dank and dense that we can only pursue a vast and vague definition for recognition? I can only be swept away by the engulfing wind of nothingness, and dissolve into the abyss of eternity.
Is it graceful- to fade away without resistance or even acknowledgment or consciousness? Or is that just ignorance? The questions can only mingle with the theories, the "facts," the nothingness of everything,  rather than be answered. Because there is no solution to the unknown, and this all is still only ever just a question of existence itself.

...So where do we go from here?

It hurts, but
Sade LK Jan 2014
I cannot find the common time
To realize these eyes died that night.
My brights dulled dark and yet still sparked
The burning breath to break my heart.
I swear I'll tear myself apart
Just to go too far.

Destroy this world that I've created.
Am I jaded or just faded?
Hated those words left unstated.
Grace did make it appreciated.
Grateful to be gone away,
I'd rather run then have to stay.
Who's to say it matters, anyway?
It hurts, but I bleed gray.

So who cares if there's nothing there?
A barren land may seem unfair,
But I would dare to breath the air-
To fill my lungs up with despair,
Just to cool the flaming flair.
Stop the coughing up gray blood,
Forget regret and leave my love-
To die away and turn to dust
Just to break the trust.

So I seem so lost and cold.
Gave up blood and glinting gold,
Sold my soul to growing old
*Just to die alone.

Everything Red
Sade LK Feb 2014
Such a deadly obsession- suicide.
It kills me to wish I was dead so bad, and
Fantasize about death all day.
Bleeding images screaming
In my mind and I just want
To drown them in my bathtub while
I fall asleep forever.
Don't want to get better, not sure if I'm sick.
But blood, crimson streams
Of decadence calling me to the grave.
Death.
So unexplored- so unknown- so unique.
So fascinating, captivating, decapitatingly
Consuming my mind. And I am so denied
Of the sweet surrender.
What I would give to know...
I'd give my life to understand dying.
To experience what comes after
With the choice to come back again.
Impossible.
But what does that mean?
Wish I could just be a vampire-
Somewhere in the middle.
All the blood I could ask for.
I don't feel wrong, I don't feel sick.
I feel alive and
I feel death calling me closer to
Suicide each day and I don't understand
Why I can't get rid of these thoughts these
Images haunting me breaking me
Crushing my skull in
Bleeding screaming death dying black black
RED.
Everything RED.
Everything

I wish my wrists were slit-
A crimson kiss of vicious bliss
To stitch this twisted rigid ripped up grip
On the anger, violence, aggression within.
My sin is slipping silver in to skin
And digging in to who I am,
Don't think I'll ever understand.
Don't want to find a better plan.
I'll be ****** before I'm dry,
All this blood keeps me alive.
I need to see it on the outside,
Remind me to get out of my mind-
Live my life and use my time
To fight against the grind and strive
For better things and brighter lights.
Darkness has it's own insight
But I've got mine,
And that's just fine.

Can't begin to explain what this feels like.
An entirely new frame of mind and state of life.
But there's something very familiar lingering in
The changing colors of the trees,
And autumn offers no relief from this seeping grief
Like nose bleeds flooding lungs and underneath
These sinking teeth lies something rotting with disease-
Its in the wind, Its in the sin,
It's in the spin of Satan's grin when
One day you realize- God isn't real.
And neither is anything else.
It's heaven's hell,
A magic spell cast by innocent little girls
'Til one day you grow up, and realize there is
No gold star in an adult sky for the slaughtered demise of this
"Innocence..."
It slits the soft skin like a silver regret-
Cold like the choke hold of guilt around your neck-
Fills up your head, like
Bad dreams and ***** scenes,
Wearing sleeves in smoldering heat.
Trick or Treat has new meaning
When Halloween offers hollow shelter in masks and costumes-
Hide this monster I've devised, locked deep inside
This ****** up mind.
The world has robbed me blind of my own time.
there's no one there to ask me if I'm fine.

Silver Eyes

Yes,
I cut myself.
And you know what?
I like it.
Yes,
I'm a cutter.
And you know what?
I accept that.
Embrace it, in fact.
Cause after 9 years of a blood-stained adolescence
These scars are just a part of me,
And these wounds are a lifestyle
That I choose.
My addiction to pain does not weaken me,
My lust for blood does not make me a freak,
My scars do not make me ugly-
I am beautifully broken;
And I'll cut myself on the shards of who I am,
But at least I haven't stabbed myself with them yet.
Yes,
I wear long sleeves and pants around friends and family
But when my cuts heal to scars
I do not fear to let them breathe and be
Exposed.
It is not for attention,
It's to tell the world that no one can hurt me
More than myself.
I am covered in scar tissue,
But I am one tough-*** ***** from hell.
And I really don't give a **** what you think about that.
I don't want to "quit."
Because I'm writing my story in silver-
And it comes out red.
It's the closest thing to "real"
That I can control.
So yes,
I cut myself.
And yes,
I am a cutter.
Don't be surprised to find more marks in my flesh
Because they are part of me
And I actually like that part.
I don't have to be in pain to inflict pain,
Don't have to be numb to want to feel something,
I don't have to be angry or guilty,
Bored or depressed-
Just because I am those things, I don't always
Have to cut them out.
Sometimes I just like the way it feels
And looks after;
Red blood on white wrists, and
I've got silver eyes.
See, this is my way of life,
And it's all I've ever known.
I know one day I'll die of suicide,
But this is just feeling something in the meantime.
I'm a cutter;
And I'll die a cutter.
Whoever finds my mutilated body
Will read my story,
And they won't understand,
But at least they won't be surprised.
My lust for blood does not make me a freak,
And my scars show the world I'm a warrior.
I'm fighting this endless battle in my mind
But each cut
Is a symbol that I've lived to fight another day.

The first whisper of a spring breeze chills the soft pink of my cheeks.
All the blacks and whites of winter's gray
Contrast gracefully with the fresh bright of a clear blue sky.
Calming, sweetly sick nauseous feeling
In my chest,
Like being lifted up and suspended
In between the laws of gravity.
An atmosphere of still consciousness awakes my every sense,
And I am able to feel something more than nothing...
Everything, constantly captivating my mind,
Like the wind biting at my flesh through my shirt.
Seems like I'm sleeping peacefully and I'm
Dreaming I've never felt more alive.
It's exiting until I consider waking up,
And where I'll be when the morning comes.
But with every crisp, innocent February sunrise
I can remember why I began to believe in beauty,
Love and music-
Nothing else could even compare in weight of meaning.
Only these things can exist in my reality-
When I realize this is all happening in "real life"-
whatever that means.
What I never admit is that sometimes a change is nice.
The fear comes from control over yourself and your life, when sometimes you just need to
Do what you feel is right.
And even though there must be something else
Out there that matters,
That is the most important necessity.

Sitting in a white room, with rotting white walls, molding white ceiling, and an unstable white floor- cold and hard like concrete.
Black filth stains every surface and crack with crackling static-shaking darkness.
There is a broken window to the right, and beyond the window is only solid gray.
But even that is uncertain.
Flickering shadows crawl about the corners of my eyes, but there is nothing here.
There is nothing here.
It is either freezing, or completely void of temperature,
But my brow breaks a single sweat drop
To sting my raw flesh with it's spiteful salt.
My eyes, unable to shut, are dry and tired, and
Faded to remains of ash or dust.
