Rayos
I looked up to the sky
nine vultures
soaring, circling, searching,circling
for the death
that gives them
life
Taken from a restless night
Images crawling in my sight
Mysterious touch of icy fingers
Every dark thought that now lingers
Left shivering, something there
Each heart beat, terror shall share
Shadows moving within my head
Skin is tingling with a fear to shed

Night holds something, evil waiting
In deepest threat, now anticipating
Growing visions of the unholy we know
Having nowhere to run, nowhere to go
Ticking manic laughing of the clock
Murderous beasts, my screams they mock
Answers never come, no mercy only misery
Rats scuttle in corners, showing no pity
Endless searching to find some hope
Suddenly comes Death with a hangmans' rope

the sun filled terrace,
overflowing with peace,
a leafy tree above,
casting shadows
like fingerprints
softening the breeze.

what familiar embrace,
may it last for today,
to give what seems
a gentle, kind stroke
from far or unknown
maternal yet strong.

once shadows blend,
hiding they will,
the moment remains
behind closed eyes,
precious, alive,
to guide and to hold
when shadows do hide.

I can't help the negitivity,
Or suppress the darkness,
In the back of my mind,
I want things to change,
So badly,
But I feel so unsure,
So afraid,
Of the inevitable,
So let's just float,
For another day,
Freeze-frame the friendship,
Before we change,
So this will never end,
And we'll just keep on talking,
And falling,
In silence

The things she hides.
Are worth hiding.
Because they even scare her.
So she won't share.
But the things she fears are everything except,
Death.
Most people are afraid to face death like a brick wall.
Well she's not most people, now is she?
She's one person.
But she's who she is right now.

Nobody can change such a thing as to who you are.
Life's secrets are so much more than hidden.
She doesn't share with everyone of who she is.
She wonders if other people have life secrets.
Never wonders how she'll die
Because she knows she'll die violently and full of controversy.
So save her from this living hell.
So she can collect her dying debts.
Full of life's secrets.
>.< So dark. I hope you try and find the bright side to this.

That pain
In my head
In my stomach
Must leave
I know it's due
This feeling doesn't help it get done
But there's just no time
None for the work to get done
None for school
None for friends
And none for me
It hurts
It *****
It makes me exausted
Why does it even exist
I've got two words for it
*GO AWAY

I began collaborating with the old western ghost towns,
constructing the basics to whip my luck back into shape.
Yet, I hoped to find guts and glory from
the time chasing stories played out on the big screens.
I wanted to talk to God from the pavement, so
I let my knees kiss the asphalt with the idea
He'd give me some sort of incentive to leave this
small hellhole called home.

I welded my toes deep into the road
maybe to come across some kind of faith.
I let my fists get a contact high with the rocks
gathered in piles on each side of me.

I made love to the ground, hoping it'd
love me back,
but then I focused on my ears and I couldn't
hear the hallelujahs anymore.

Goodnight my love
Tucked into your bed
I'm thinking of you
The lone thought in my head

Sleep well my love
As comfort fills you
A warm blanket too large
Built just for two

Sweet dreams my love
The best you can get
Through setting sun dawn breaks
A new morning just met

Goodnight my love
For we finally must part
Though tomorrow be new
You'll still be in my heart
