You see me crumpled
Covered in black & blue
My body stretched & pulled
By tortures no one knew

Bashed against the cold
Bones snapping, blood flying
Death slowly gaining hold
Tears fall, like crying

Try to help, you do
Words of relief & comfort
My liar's reaction, your clue
See what causes my hurt

You see I am lost
To my own deep depression
Hurting at all cost
At my head aims my gun
Like a child I play,
Among the pebbles and the sand,
Building dreams from grit;
Into a world, alone, I stray.

As the water glides closer,
Creating more materials to build,
My never ending dream-scape;
Built for me, or was it for her?

Higher go these course walls,
Reaching above my thoughts
Until away they slip;
Crushing waves remove all.

And so these waves take me,
Like my loose-sand halls,
Quickly tossing me back;
Out to that confusing sea.
Our subconscious is a dangerous place that we are often lost in...
Echoes leaving traces
Of that life we all knew
That filled us, overflowing,
With this thin, dark liquid,
Dripping from familiar places.

--OWN, --OWN, --OWN

Wishes of sleep elude
As we all begin to fear,
What has come for us
Is not real, but is just
Our own mind in a form so crude.

--ARK, --ARK, --ARK

Solace, from our friends' senses,
cannot end this grimacing demon
or it's quest to eat us whole.
Waiting in nothing but silence.
Holding our breath as muscles tense.

--ETH, --ETH, --*ETH
The beast within us will never let us be...
This world it means nothing,
Oh yes nothing, to me.
Forever I will sing
How I no longer wish to be

Bury me now
with your shovels of dissonance


No help, am I, to friends
Who need it so desperately.
Nothing will ever mend
These scars, so many scars, that hurt greatly

As I lie in this hole,
Arms crossed, eyes wide,
Throw earthy weight on my soul;
Once you did, no longer tried

Carve my gravestone
with your chisels of discontent


So run while you can,
For you know you did this.
This blade, yes it ran
By my hands, now me, you miss.
I thought I was good,
But you know what they say;
Those who do what they should,
Often into wild evils stray.

Once thought near a saint,
Now condemned for all I do.
My will to sin, no longer faint.
Inside, a dense tangle grew.

Slowly unwinding and ripping
Is this fragile dying soul.
While you gaze at the dripping;
Oozing quickly from this black hole.

Tie me down with ropes,
Of twisted evil strings,
Ripped from my weary heart and hope;
Drenched in blood & misery, Life's kings.

I promise I won't fight.
I know I deserve this fate
For I finally lost all light
In this demon-forest, so great.
What have I become?
Tripping* over her
Every time I even
See her name or her
Smile that shines.

I can't be without her.

Looks between us
Often show me
Very little I can
Explain in mere mortal words.

You carry me
On through life.
Understand the simple phrase.
Simple.
My mind, so clouded
By these broken awful words.
Forming sentences to ****
In ways so absurd.

I can't seem
to find a balance
of these words that
bind
me to the brink of
insanity in kind
for I can't begin to
finish
Inspired by someone else's poem idea of matching an idea with a written style.
