Life
         is
                the
                        dream
We
             create
Come
             sleep
                       with
                                   me

bleeding out, not at all inviting
in fact, quite horrifying
serpents writhe in the cracks
angry scratches mar the wood in twisted lines
pulsating, demented, throbbing
screaming a threat more oppressive than a tyrant capable of mass genocide
what is going on within
behind this
the blood red door
I sure as Hell am not opening it
would you
Editing a rather graphic story for a friend and at some point I came across a sentence. All it said was "The door" and this just popped into my mind. Too much gore I guess...

Pretend to love my glass shards
then instead of you being cut
I am the atrocity
a friend you are not
and I see this
still I will be me
recede
why fight to be around
pretend I matter
while I sit in the background
I should not
feel as lonely
as I do
But I am
as lonely
as I feel.

I should not
judge my being
on one boy
who does not
even see
who I am.

I should stop
thinking about
what would be
if only
the outside
did not lie.

And then I
will cease the search
for something
that is not,
was never,
even there.
Excuse me I just get so unruly when
The temptress strikes
and the tempest struggles
to please his restless wife
ease the heaving spikes of her waves
rolling out of her mouth
onto his chest
all the compressed cities
she confessed to distressing abreast
her fury when he loved her gently
and then crept out when she slept
A fly on her dresser he dressed and left her
and lying alone in bed she never felt more like a conquest
she was never quite the perfect thing
he imagined her to be
I confess she was never quite a thing
but right now I don't think she'd agree
the day I dug my first dog a grave
I could say with complete certainty
this is all the love I have to give before I die
even if it's not enough for you
It's enough for me
