Like piranha, darkness eats away at the sky leaving pink and blood orange clouds in its wake.
Guilt eats away at me.
The sickness, the urge... every breath of lust
In my direction, I must have a taste.
Happiness is an illusion of the sick drivin, by what ales them.
Itching at their skin just for another taste. After the hit, the bump, the rush, clarity fills our mind. We start to make sense of why it's wrong why it ruins our lives... till the next time...

I did the unspeakable
I rushed to the lavatory
In desperate need to clean the sin off
Wash my filth over and over
"Come clean" I shrieked
Panicked, holding my head in my hands
Kneeling on the marbled floor
Only A towel drapped over me
Shivering not cold but frantic
I breath in. Stand up. Exhale.
I wipe the fogged mirror
Look into it with mournful eyes
I watch the figure stand before me
Not my reflection I see
Startled as it took shape
Regret formed into goose bumps.
Down my body as it traveled, multiplying.
I break as I see the picture in the mirror
I look up one last time
I marvel in disbelief...

She was my adventure
My peaceful car ride.
The music loudly flowing through the speakers
She was the sun in my eyes
The jolt of the steering wheel
The abrupt stop of the car
She was the tree that wouldn't move
She was everything in my passenger seat.
She is but a painful memory of moving on.

The shadow in my room creeped closer
Whispering don't be afraid.
It Let out it's hand closer to me
I quivered in fear of the unknown
Slowly the shadow sat down.
It's name is what startled me the most
It spoke so highly of me
With a gentle voice.
The ghostly presence seemed to soothe me
Everything about it looked scary
Till I let the shadow in
I felt warm like I had seen the light
It disappeared so quickly when others came,
I cried it's name over and over...
"Love, don't go. come back"...

Immortal
was his love for her
She was his Oasis
Without her his travels
It pure chaos
Everlasting hope and promise
The vows they made for each other
Death couldn't stand in the way
Even when it ceases to pulse
Love knows no bounds
When souls finally find each other
And beauty begins to decay
Love is immortal.

Today the chill of the wind
Spoke your name
I mourn.
The breeze gentle and swift
carried your scent.
I mourn.
Spring butterflies dance
to our song
I mourn.
The grief for your lost love
Is strong today, like a funeral,
Buried and forgotten.
I mourn.

Basic human kindness is a plague.
Only Society provides the Cure
It feeds off of graciousness
Effecting others in its wake
Every smile you take
Disrupting the work place
Human kindness is disease
Quick run and hide
As the internet bleeds
Soon as it starts
everyone is along for the ride
But who will be patient zero?
