Warmth of memories
Flame still lights at empty hearth
Pictures on mantle
There are a lot of
lonely people in this world.
Unintentionally ten words
Do you think that
Adam and Eve's
betrayal made god
sorry he created them?

When you see a plane,
What do you think?
Do you wonder where
it is returning from?

Does the rain remind you
of the other nights it rained?

What does it mean to love?
What does it mean to live?

*Just who are you?
What's wrong with you?

Why do you think like that?

Yes, the stars will still shine at night.

Yes, the sun will still be radiant as the day before.

You're so selfish.

What about them?

What about the sister who will drop to her knees as she looks into your empty eyes?

What about the brother who will hold his head in despair and regret?

What about the mother  who will carry your picture everywhere she goes?

What about the father who won't be able to say "Goodnight!" to his child?

What about the friend who couldn't live without their other half?

What about the boyfriend who lost the one person who accepts him?

What about the girlfriend who can't intertwine her fingers with yours?

What about the person who wanted to say "Hi.", but waited too long?

But, mostly,

What about the future?
The future that wanted to fix the past.
The future that wanted to renew you?
The future that was to fix you?

You **** the future, more than you.

Because the future is you.

You killed all that could've become of you.

You killed you.



Now, all there is, is the past you.

The broken you.


Out of all them.

That will be the one that will be remembered.
Perhaps it was my own fault;
Letting her ever get that close.
Inviting her underneath my skin
Where she'd gnaw at my bones.
The dichotomy, while blatant,
Fell to eyes under strain.
Her beauty was blinding.
My world suddenly dimmed.
Her voice, ever charming,
All other sound fell to mute.
My old heart, her new hobby;
Another puppet, abused.
Douse your half of the fire,
Yet mine still rages on.
Though I’m new to the subject,
I'll call what we had ‘love’.
But if ever again I feel heartbreak:

Dear God,
**** me young
Am I the only one that has their demons feasting upon their souls?
They say it is easy to tie a noose around your mind,
To overcome the urges and temptations of ending your life with a suicide
They don't know the true pain and torment that is going on in my head
An epic battle that leaves me with restless nights in bed
"End your life already" they say, as they prey on me during my weakest hours
Sometimes I give into the voices, carrying the sharp blade to my wrist
Crying as I struggle to mutter three powerful words that keeps me going
Choking on my sobs, my lungs deflate with a desire to say that God loves me
I try to convince myself that God is trying to test my faith
And to just wait, wait and wait
Then my Demons will eventually go AWAY.....
