Lonely
Astra Zenneth Nov 2016
The stars are blinding
Burns me
The moon it mocks
Spurns me
The trees they turn
Inside it burns
Why am I so lonely?

When every year, the leaves do fall
Our army’s raise to sound the call
Let it ring the final score
Has come again, the time of war
Let us break the marble walls
The flesh have made to keep us hidden
On dark October nights
May time break the spell forbidden
In the final year of fright
May we rise in glory, fallen
Never again shall we know shame
And shall all others know our pain
For after days of immortal strife
When we all lay in the ground
All is silent in afterlife
And to defeat we have been bound

Madness
Astra Zenneth Nov 2016
Conscious out, Insanity in
Your anger no longer let out with a pen
Shiny weapons, Silver knives
One wrong move will cost their lives
Wild actions without a care
Their chilling screams ring through thin air
A body falls with a thud
The walls are covered in their blood
Wet clothes, Soaked through
Stained that beautiful scarlet hue
Confused as the world starts to spin
You'll never wash away your sins

It's in your eyes
Something silver, something bright
When I look at you
I find the light
You bring me out of the cave
The dark I was in
Please look at me
Give me the love I crave

Joy

Joy
Oh, it’s suffocating!
Though, one tries one’s best
Always wanting more and more
It has become obsessed.
One might pretend it’s nothing
But truly they’re possessed
The desire only grows from there
And one will never rest.

What Did I Do?
Astra Zenneth Nov 2016
It’s not about the way I feel
Nor how you feel
It’s about the way you treat me
You can be sad
But you should be making me happy

I accepted you
As you should have done for me
We are friends
But you’re acting differently
Why are you so mean to me?

You know,

I don't blame you
but it still really stings
I'm such an idiot
should have seen it happening
God I still think of it
I hate myself so ******* much
man how'd I end up in this ****
"If you really love someone it doesn't die or fade, it festers"
sage advice, but you ******* break my heart, throw it in the fires
it's rising, gonna freak, push it down till it lowers
and now I'll obsess pretending you'll change your mind
even though I know that's untrue.

Maybe I'm sick
Maybe I'm twisted
Let's take a dip
In a deep field of roses

You haunt my dreams
You make them so lovely
Leave my dreams
Make it reality

Twist a knife
Soft and deep
I taste the blood
You make it sweet

Feed me lies
Make me cry
Feed me till
I'm full of flies

I've died again
I don't even know. I just found it on my phone.

A Murder Case
Astra Zenneth Sep 2016
Im looking for new things to do
Maybe i'm looking for you
I'm looking forward to the sin
I'm ready, let the demons in
You don't know what's coming soon
Open up and let me in
I'll climb inside and cover up
You have been the holy dream
I will never let you leave
**YOU ARE NEVER LEAVING ME
A bar. A stranger  approaches. They ****** you. You fall into the illusion. You don't know what awaits. They take you to their home. It's a barren apartment. Nothing personal anywhere. Strange,  but not too strange. You are too distracted by the buzz of your bodies touching anyways. Suddenly a cloth is placed against your mouth. You start to feel tired.  Next thing you know, you awaken tied to the bed. They hover over you still whispering sweet nothing into your ear. You scream in pain. They tore it off with their teeth. Blood pools beside your head. You dip in and out of consciousness. They laugh. "whats wrong baby." You plead for help. you scream and scream. They growl and stuff a cloth in you mouth. A knife is dragged down you stomach. It slices deeper and deeper.  Till it pierces.
           It doesn't take long for you to bleed out.

Dead To Me
Astra Zenneth Oct 2016
I can't love you anymore
You've waited too long
I want to get over this
Released from the throng

You kept saying false words
and kept the truth to yourself
I won't ask you more questions
No longer I'll delve

I hope you'll forget
As I already have
I don't wish you pain
As you've made me sad

It's simply too late
I refuse to wait longer
If I keep waiting
My distress will grow stronger

If love will not come
As you said it would
I will forget
Just like I should

*you are dead to me

Desperate
Astra Zenneth Oct 2016
You watched the flowers die today
After the blooming buds
You then wished the pain away
All the feelings are too much

You've cried so many tears before
You've filled your house full
So you've been drowning in the rain
That came from clouds of thought

If only the moon
Could take the pain away
I could exchange it all for another way

If only I
Had the power left
I would take it from you
I would take all my pain back

So many a time
You've cried to me
And I just watched as you were eaten
You were already dead

We picked the flowers
For your grave
As you cried
I watched your rain wash them all away

If only the moon
Could take the pain away
I could exchange it all for another way

If only I
Had the power left
I would take it from you
I would take all my pain back

If you let me
I would take the pain
I would take all that was suppposed to be

If you'd stay
I'd never leave you
Whether shining eyes or pouring rain
But who is the desperate one
is it me
or is it you

probably the longest "poem" I've ever written

You've been lied to, swindled, tricked
I get that
But you've let that stop you
You let it stop you from being the wonderful person you are
You've helped me and I never returned the favor
You would never let me. And now you've changed
At least that's what you say
Why must you recede into the darkness
You are a beautiful light
Now the light has dimmed
Don't stop being the light
                              Don't stop being my light.

My Mind is a Mess
Astra Zenneth Sep 2018
My clothes stack up like a pile of corpses
Like casualties of a war
But don’t be fooled this is a loosing battle
We see them there stacking up
And know in our hearts we know it’s wrong
But for our own sake of mind
We ignore it

Stuck
Astra Zenneth Dec 2017
The vines grip me so roughly
Just how I love it so awfully
No matter where I run, it won’t be undone

Tangled in thorns and ******

Hold me down and tear me open
I should have listened to the omen
Keep strength until you can no more
Now my eyes are red and swollen

The vines grip me so roughly

In my actions, I find it justly

I made my mistakes and now I must break
My prison holds me lovingly

Imagining a wondrous garden filled with fictive flowers and unbelievable blossoms. Turn waking to reality. But now you cannot think of anything else at this moment. You are trapped in wonderment, then sadness. Can such a place exist outside of daydreams? Will you ever see this place again? Even in a dream state? You long to relive such bliss but it is forever out of your reach.

Power In a Name
Astra Zenneth Oct 2016
I shall name myself. Yes, I, the little daydreamer, with no power to call her own, will invoke the power of a name. Born as a Lion. Monstrous as a lion. lost as a beast is in a cruel world. No longer will I be a daydreamer. Now I am a lost lion cub. I have named myself Curious lion.
To be true.
I am little. As am I feeble. No pride to call my own. But I am a beautiful creature with an attractive mane. Giving off a faint glow of pride and ambition. Wishing to grow to a fierce and prideful lion with no shame for being so. A cowardly lion will one day gain her courage.

since you left my side
I haven't been the same
and it hurts to hear the name
I don't know who to trust
I think I'm losing touch
nothing there inside
I think I was born to die

It will never be the same
but I'm not sure who to blame
please, tell if it was mine
or just better off this way

Im running out of time

they tell me I'm insane
Why am I this way

Peace To Those Who Hurt

You're not completely ugly
and you're not completely fat
You're exactly in between

It's okay to be okay. No need to be perfect.

I stand in this cage
Scared and alone
My mind is unraveled
Harshly undone

Some days its rage
Other days its sad
Most days I think
I’ve gone completely mad

Everything is closing in
The bars and walls all squeeze
Everything that’s left of me
Is infected by disease

The bars tear away my skin
Already slipping off my bones
Yet all of this is happening
inside my heart of stone

Stop Hiding From Me

Shut your ******* mouth
I don't want to hear it
Just tell me now
Why won't you submit

I don't care who's at fault
Stop telling these lies
I don't care who did what
You're both full of flies

She's not a ******* goddess
Yet you worship at her feet
You're so ridiculous
You're still incomplete

You let her hurt you
You're killing yourself
I'm so ******* through
I just want to help

You keep all your secrets
Even when I share mine
I guess trust is your weakness
So you tell me you're fine

Maybe not trust
It's still a dumb game
You do what you must
and I'll do just the same
Your hurt is hurting me.

It was definitely the smile that first caught her attention. Oh god, that ever present smile of his was wonderful. The next was his obvious confidence. That was something she had always lacked herself. Yes, he had much confidence. Too much, many would think-and even say- but she never minded. Enough confidence for them both to share. Lastly, and most importantly, was his intelligence. His intelligence was plentiful. No one could argue with that. Intelligence was everything to her and he had exactly that. She couldn’t help but look at him in every class they had together. If he was around she constantly thought about how he saw her.
Alas, there stands the problem. She believed there was nothing to see. To him, there wasn’t anything noticeable about her either. She knew that; he had made it very clear that he saw nothing. In fact, he saw nothing in anyone. He just happened to be obsessed with himself. Narcissism. For that reason, she knew there was no chance for her.
In attempt to fix this emptiness she tried to convince herself he wasn’t worth it. He wasn’t a good person. He definitely wasn’t attractive. He was horrible. At first, it felt like a lie; a blatant lie that would never help. Then, after awhile it become more of a truth, until finally she believed it. Now she could look at him without feeling like he was the sun. No, now he was just some kid in her class. It was a romance that was never to be and never existed for either side.

Is This Love?
Astra Zenneth Oct 2016
The Curious lion prances. A fretful owl in it's sights. Never has one found such a wise and attractive creature.
Watching from a distance, the Curious lion will never know the Mature Owl. She is too wild for such a tame creature. She has not the courage to approach. Fearing that the creature will attack the poor young lion cub.
The little lion will continue form the distance.
Come closer, come closer, little one.
Ignore sharp claws. Ignore hard glares. Come here, dear, come.

Sneaky little lion cub. One with tricks and lies. Hard to believe you can make such feats.

I see your face even though you're not around
Even when I'm loved you're on my mind
I still think about you when I'm down

I see your face everywhere I go
even when I'm loved I think of you
what is this sorcery
burn like you make me burn
drown like you drown me
Witch!

I learn to trust again
only to be taught the same lesson
never share, no confessions
and If you do
dont fail to mention
dont trust too quick, always question

Not everything I do is for you
but sometimes I think about doing so

I've never been one for intimacy
I've been told you can love more than one
But I can't bare to do that to anyone
You make me betray my veiws
how do you do it

This Is a Trick

You must be a figment of my imagination
You just can't be real
I really can't believe it
You are quite the steal

I never thought my life could get so good so quick
You came out of nowhere
Now to be without you
Is something I couldn't bare

I think I've become a cliché
Because I couldn't live without you
And you hit me like a flash
Or my love for you is true

Of course I have my doubts
Nothing this good would happen to me
But really I think you're perfect
I think we were meant to be

As the air begins to chill
The raven on thy window sill
It caws in warning of the battle
In raucous caw thy ribs do rattle
The time has once again returned
For retribution, we bones have yearned
The fleshies will suffer the cost
then shall they know all that we've lost
Calling all the men of bone
Our army is ready, our numbers have grown
There is no way to lose this fight
On yonder cold October night
The honor of bone, we shall defend
Men of Bone shall reign again!

The words they speak have no meaning
they're simple, no use intervening
You can ask questions, don't listen
Responses don't matter, they're children
I find that adults tend to treat children like lesser beings that don't understand anything. that's exaggerated, of course, for lack of better wording.

You let it crush you. It dug its claws in deep until there was nothing left to be severed. And it keeps digging.

Time stopped and then passed as it always does
A resting moment in which there was only terror
Horror of what was never said

A simple sorry means all the world
