As I lay myself to bed
Monsters roam my head
Thoughts run ramped

No disregard
To morn
Slumber hides away

Heart pounds like a drum
Light will greet before
Dreams come

My aching head
My sorrowing heart
My glistening eyes

The question
Why
The answer

Silent as the new moon
Death has no voice
Life has no answers

Tic tock, tick tok
Times up
On life's clock

I    miss   you
Is not enough

No words are
For the way I feel
Of you

I don't sleep
I can't sleep

I'm cold...freezing
e
v
   e
      n
Though my room
Is a blazing sun

And my window panes
Are pelted by the storm

Much like my tears do
To my cheeks

No
I am COLD
Because I am missing my second skin

The way you wrap yourself
Around me and within me
Completely absorbing me

Breathing you in
Until I am High
On you

Trying desperately
To remember
Your scent

As I live
Miles....Miles......Miles....
Away

Remembering Your
Warmth

Until Our Love
No longer has to be kept
At Bay

The monsters are coming
They’re clawing
My door

There is no chain
Lock
Nor key

No
Hiding
Anymore

Hide n Seek
Is their favorite
Game

They’re Strong
Patient
Beasts

Won’t
Leave
Till they feast

Their
Food being
Fear

Plenty
In stock
Here

Just when
I think
I am safe

Their shadows
Dance
Awake

I scream
Silent Fear

When we realize

that beauty is not skin deep

That pain goes far beyond cuts and bruises

That there are other ways to see the world besides just with our eyes

That trust is the hardest thing to give and break

That" love " is not just a word, but a way to live

That in order to heal another, we must first heal

      We can finally begin to understand ourselves

The Map of Her Skin
The scars on her wrist
Whisper           Secrets
Of                      When

Her Reflection
Showed a Monster
Clawing to Escape

Her eyes saw
Shadows Dancing
Fire Behind Lids

Tears fall down
Her Hollow Face
leaving dewy trails
In their wake

Doctors left to
Pick        Up
Her
     A            
         Broken
Shell-of         A-girl

Take a breath
They    said
Hold    it in
Release, release

Let            Go
It seems so simple
A Laughable cure

Time Heals
All Wounds
This Clock   Stopped
Ticking

Time
For this Girl
To treat Herself
Find her    Own Method

Fill    the    Empty
Block the   Hole
With
Anything you Find

Stuff it in
Shove it in
Try it all

A
Deadly Concoction
A    Welcome SIN

Blood from lifeless skin
Water from empty eyes
Oil from burning heart

Light the Match
Let go
L..e..t

Fire Burn
Burn  Burn
Her   soul

A Welcome distraction
Away            from
The               Gaping Hole

Gnawing at
Her               Insides

Tasting
Her               Despair

Stop!!!
She               SCREAMS

Caving         In
Succumbed to Begin
The
Breaking

Of   Flawless   Skin
Give her peace
For  ONE Day
Let her feel
Sane

The father I go
Lines mark my time

Trees whisper their
Goodbyes

It feels like a vacation
Like a dream
While you awaken

Foot taps anxiously
To an unknown beat

Stare out the window
Making wishes on clouds

Knowing
Its just beginning

How can I call it home
When I get lost every turn

When I don't see the land
Which shaped me
Like my mother’s
Loving hands

When people talk
I just hear sound
Not melody

Like I did
Nestled in my
Old apple town

I see a blank page
Craving
To be filled

Memories to be made
New places to discover
Friends to be had

Its time to put
My old book on the self

Take out a pen
And re- write myself

It lies on my 3rd finger
It glints in the sun
It's the color of the ocean

It makes me smile
It makes me cry
It's full of love

It's full of life
It's full of death
It's the happiest day of my life
It's the sadist day of my life

She dances in the cloak of death
Her heart palpitating
slow
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of light
Her eyes sparkling
morose
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of despair
Her feet forlorn
quivering
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of hope
Her breath intoxicated
poisonous
time ticks onward

She dances in the clock of birth
Her hands trembling
languidly
time ticks onward

If I put my tears
In a bucket
Sailed them out to sea
The bucket would
Bare  Down
Ship

Sinking
to
The Blue

A tear
For
Every
Wish, kiss and
Time   I     Said
"I    love     you."

Down, down, down

Fish won't pass it by
They know danger
Of Lasses Brine
It would join
The others

In The
Shipwrecked
Cemetery

Where pails
beckon
Algae
From
Long
Lost time

Your pain
Eating away
My memory

A graveyard of
Once loved
But no longer in heart

Creating
A rocky
Start

Pebbles will wash
Upon
The shore

With a rumble
A tumble
Sharp edges no more

One day.      FAR.    I  fear
I will  tred back to that
Place

Pick up a stone
Remembering
Your face

I will not shed
A
Tear

A smile will play
My lips
Instead

I might
Close my
Eyes

I might say
Your
Name

But now you
are just a fond
Memory

No longer sound
Makes  heart
Beat

Adding you instead
To my
Treasure chest

Knowing that you
Leaving
Was best

Winter licks at window panes
Frosting forlorn nights

Snowflakes whisper
Lonely souls
Who reach out to night

Flakes frost over
House and home
Icing quite lanes

Snow dances
Lightly down
Lulling The world to sleep

I was happy
I even laughed
Made memories
With my minds eye

I felt love
I saw beauty
I felt relief

Started with a subtle
Increased beat
Then the waves came again
The heaving of my chest
The flow of my tears
The haunting images

You followed me
When I was starting to feel
Again

You should have packed
A suite case too
and taken your own
Vacation
Away from
Me

I want a place
A place to be free
Free from pain

I still feel your arms
Your lips
Your heartbeat
Your words
Your hands

Our Fingers interlaced
I remember shinning
Like the sun
Now I shadow
Like darkness

Stars still twinkle
Bright
Dim though is their light

Once sound sleep
Now I beg to keep

Felt the storm
Refuse Remains
Cleaning up

Finding Scattered
Finding Shattered
Broken up

Pieces
Of
Myself

Breathe now
Stand now
Breathe again

Step now
Run now
Strive

Hope
Now
Come

Wish please grant
Breathe
Rebirth-Myself

Dark, dark, dark
I'm looking for the light
It's as black as the night

As the days grow longer
I become more somber
Searching, hoping, praying
For an escape from the darkness

Tiny, small, minuscule
Pinpricks shine through
Stars against a black sky
Draw me in again

Flickering, shimmering, glistening
Just out of reach
But I still see
Still feel there light
Just hold on for one more night

If I had only known

You would still be snug in your're bed

Your laughter would echo through the room

Instead of just memories

If only my words could have shaped the blades of shears

And cut you free

To live such a lonely life

The mask upon your face done up too well

Doubts plague my thoughts and poison my heart

I wish you wrote

How was I supposed

How you could do this, I will never know

I would have liked to say

I Need to say

Goodbye

In early Winters morn

Shimmering, floating , becoming

Purely Fey

Moon guarding night sky

Cresting Winters Pale crown

Glowing outward light

Shimmering, floating , becoming

A soliloquy of snow

Bells of winter’s breath

Awakening our world

Glowing Ethereal,

Radiating Warmth

Warmth of new day

Shimmering, floating, becoming

First Snow
