I'm not sure I can hold the rope that keeps my head held high anymore. The scariest thing for me would be letting go, because who knows the hold it can have around my neck.. I have spent my days weeping over the things I cannot control and I raise my expectations too **** high because I thought, maybe you would give me fair treatment; or maybe at least attempt to bask in my presence instead of sulk in your own solitude. But I guess we all have our vices.
These hands are meant to hold and you have spent too many of your days taking yours and grasping them around my neck. I'm not too familiar with holding my tongue. Maybe these words I speak are foreign to you but they mean something to me..
Money doesn't mean a thing when it's only your time I long for the most. But my days are spent at your feet waiting for your command that it's okay to hold your hand, and I don't want to wait around for you anymore.
I am damaged, far too much beyond repair and this will always be me, giving so much more than I will ever receive in return, writing you all these love poems only to realize your time is spent stuck in your solitude and I will not become apart of it anymore. Confinement is not in my agenda and if you want me than you'll have to come get me, I'm tired of chasing you and walking around the eggshells you so conveniently build around yourself.
Maybe you don't realize that my heart hurts because you once tried for me and now these days we have together are numbered and I'm getting tired of counting. The watch is yours now, so mark the minutes and watch how quickly you lose me.

As I'm looking up at the clouds laying down on the grass on top of a warm blanket, wearing sweats and bunny slippers, waiting for you to end up laying next to me when I need you most and it's now 10pm. Im now looking up at the stars and you never showed up because things like that only happen in fantasies.

Nope
But you dear reader
You know
Exactly how it feels
To be completely alone
In a crowded room
Constantly resisting the impulse
To yank the steering wheel
Directly to the left
And patiently waiting
For anything
*Meaningful
*** is a # anyway? I mean I get how to use them, just not the purpose...

death was rest. rest is what she craved. but until she found peace. she would never find rest. she feared what death would bring but was dying to know. there was no pun in that though she smiled to herself thinking of it. for a moment she felt clever. a sigh left her lips. she had a long day. she needed to breathe. she wonder for the souls that found no peace if they ever got to breathe or have rest. or if they were forever stressed and upset. she tensed up, her bones seems to become one. she didn’t want that. she needed peace in herself to make it in such a life as this.

I've been trying to come to terms
with the way life is --
its ups and downs
twists and turns
and all the spaces in between
that I can't control --
and I have no idea whether to
accept that this is the way
life is or find a way to
change me.
****** poem. Felt like updating. Blah.

****** is art
and the killer is the painter
and the body is the canvas
but the act is made illegal
which makes is a fantasy
done in the mind
where sanity is lost
and the concept of right and wrong are gone
and the art is born in death
I've currently been reading the book The Mind of the Murderer by Neustatter. It's about how mental illness can sometime, rarely, but can lead to ******. And people who do suffer from a particular mental illness can be at a loss at why they are in trouble. Since most of these acts are do you rage or paranoria. They don't see a right or wrong, but it happened. But I was watching a jail interview with BTK and was captivated with such a lack of emotion in his face, eyes and words. And how killing to him became a job, since he had to stalk, and plan everything out. Removing trace evidence. How OCD he had to be. And how for most serial killers it's a passion. They view themselves are artists. So that's how this poem came to be. Highly doubt anyone will read this, but I'm pretty proud of it. (written: Nov. 4, 2011)
