Hatred grows inside
Ripping apart my soul
Digging down too deep
To keep in control

Spawning in my midst
There is none other to blame
Than that person in the mirror
The name reminiscent of flame

With troubled eyes I see
The pain I cause within
Never ending is this flow
Of personal hate and sin

Comfort is sent from others
Though it makes a mere dent
Causing little interruption for this ship
On a ceaseless path to torment
We have so much in this world
And yet we see only that which we lose
We only devote attention to emptiness
Where those people used to be within
Yet, they are gone from your heart
So that part of you freezes over
And if left to itself for too long
This ice spreads like a disease
Destroying all you hold dear
Capturing it as a single meager memory
One as fragile and beautiful as your life
Preserving them inside makes you cringe
You can't handle the truth of it all
That they never left you alone
You left them, for your own devices
And here you lie now, broken
A shattered mess of perfection
I could use somebody
But not the likes of you
You and your twisted humor
Your bitter words
Sinking deep like icicles within
You, who rips apart my soul
Little pieces torn by sharp words
Your fiery emotions
Engulfing me, burning alive
But, I could use somebody
Just like you
You, with the ability to listen
Soak in my problems, make me ease
Your encompassing hold
Making me forget all
You, who smiles so kindly
Opening up all hearts
You, my rock to stand on
Never crumbling beneath my pressure
You, willing to break down
By my side, through it all
So I guess I need someone
Someone like you
But not you
And yet only you are worth it
Sad, lonely words
Circle me forever
Hazing my vision
Leaving us *******

                                        Cut to the bone
                                        Start pulsing blood
                                        Fading to black
                                        Society does condone

                                                        ­         It is fully understood
                                                      ­                         These phrases ******
                                                          ­                                  They slice deep
                                                            ­               Bring nothing good

                                                           ­                        Fight this darkness
                                                        ­                      Remind us of the light
                                                           ­                 But voices are drowned
                                                         ­                         By blood so heinous
Thick as mud
Pouring from my soul
******* tainted blood

Don't you smell the fear
Coursing within me
Causing me to tear

All these monsters who rule
Shove me past the brink
With words for broken tools

One day you'll see
Within dark dreams that
This world is not for me.
Bubbling water flows
Over rocks so sharp
Cutting deeper into me
Making red slip into the flow
Trying to escape
Making it worse
Pain doubling all over
So I fought the current
Carving my future's end
Won't you spare a second
To help me close this wound
Stop the blood that drips
Put my heart back inside?
Why is your stare so blank?
Don't you know what I feel;
The anguish of a loner?
The regretting soul?
Perhaps you are right to stare
To be dim to such pain
For the world shows no mercy
And people, They are to blame.
