darkness
a spark
cloaked in shadows
walking through
a growing flame
playing with fire
an addicting symphony
toxic words
bittersweet lies
to each their own poison

fire
flame
ash like rain
darkness
an old memory
music
shadows
flash of light
then nothing
I fade away
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
is it the end
or has it only just begun

scarlet hood
run
I’m trailing behind you
hide and seek
lets play
I catch you every time you run away
run little red
the wolf is coming
falling through space
I taste the atmosphere
closing in
I reach out
caught you!
falling
fall
fading away
will they ever find us
good bye little one
adue
I will see you with god

the sun kisses my face
feel the winds gentle embrace
icy breath escapes my lungs
my lips turn blue
I feel around me
dirt
all I feel is dirt
the smell of soil
I close my eyes
waking in reality
or is this all really a dream

a small laugh
red velvet ice cream
sweet childhood
the ice cream falls
I cry out
food poisoning befalls me
in illness I disdain the scarlet food
but now I think of it with fondness
how carefree that day was
parents laughing
smiling the day away
but why did it end so
I miss those carefree days
without a bitter thought or worry
but as it always does a blissful youth must come to an end

a breath of air
a laugh in the darkness
no one is there
who cares to hear
loud words ignored
bravery labeled ignorance
they look as if I'm speaking a foreign language
why do they always turn and run
do my words scare them
or am I in the wrong

the mask is broken
my emotions battle for control
no one understands
what I've been hiding
the feelings I've trapped
as if a dam has burst emotions flood my brain
my heart is now my sleeve
lets see how fast they break it
