Shadows cast, eerie silence
blood, crimson, mindless violence.
Hushed voices, chaos...dread.
lives lost, withered dead.

Eyes closed, reality fades
Drifting into memories
Reliving life.. Decisions made
Knowing they can never change

Reaching out to touch her face
The one sure thing.. You cant replace
..Night progresses slow and cold
Lucid dreams feel so alone

When she consumes and devours
Your sanity more every hour
Minutes pass all turns sour
Try to wake but lack the power

Color fades losing control..
Am I still dreaming? F#ck I dont know

She gets her alcohol
and gulps it in,
as if
that's how
you teach
a wound
to heal.

The faster I run
The faster these monsters keep
Catching up to me

And it feels like I'm
The only one reliving
My own tragedy
Part of a recent song I made turned into two haikus

I won't be plucking off petals from my rose
like those lovesick Romeos and Juliets on park benches.
I don't need luck and petal symmetry to believe.

I won't litter the petals
like lipstick marks or blood stains on white sheets.
I won't be placing them in a vase half full,
that's temporary.

I have a better plan in mind,
a better way to immortalize
my rose. Deep within a gift,
pressed between pages
is a symbol of your love to me.

When my thought turn to him
my heart begins to ache
my body feels lonely without his arms around me
my soul becomes sad
wishing that he could once more be mine

But when I see him in a crowded place
laughing with his friends
my sadness turns into rage
feeding off the smirk on his face
my hands clinch and I'm not so sure I can control myself
every molecule in my body
says my fist needs to be in his face

But instead I smile and laugh and play along
acting as if I couldn't be happier
standing next to strangers
I pretend to not even notice him
But he knows me too well
to be fooled by these games we play
How could he be happy? Is this really that much of a game? Why can't we just be happy together instead of pretending to be happy apart?

thoughts hang around my head like an itch that won't go away
       and they're *making me scratch my brains out
i hate winter.

When I can't feel anything, I watch a sad movie or read the ending of sad books and sometimes I wonder why I do things to make me cry instead of laugh until I waste an hour and a half watching a comedy that isn't even funny to remember  that the easiest feeling to achieve is heartache. And maybe that's twisted but I don't even remember what twisted is because twisted is my normal.

Sometimes happiness takes place of the emptiness but once it's gone it's like stepping on something sharp on carpet and trying to find it. And that may sound odd because stepping on something sharp is painful but so is a happy person with an anxious mind knowing that in only a matter of time that sweet, warm feeling won't be there anymore.

If someone were to knock on my body, it'd be hollow and they would probably imagine it as cold and damp and decide that it's not worth their time. And maybe that's why I'm alone, because everyone is a little afraid of an abandoned house.
