I can’t remember the last time
I walked in light,
nor how the sun felt on my skin,
it’s always dark in here
and while trying to make my way in any direction
I find myself stumbling upon souls I lost and souls I miss
and pieces of long forgotten feelings,
I find myself falling over words that can never be taken back
over regrets that have never been said,
I hurt myself
when I step on memories crashing under my feet and
on broken mirrors wearing my once bright face,
or on silent songs that once used to be loud.

Like a child learning how to ride a bike,
I will keep on falling over and over again,
but I’ll never learn
cause there is no one here to hold onto the saddle.

Reborn
on that slimy isle of sea and sky,
I'll bolt the door forever more.
A depth of death awaits my soul
upon the ocean floor.
The scream of salt,
and squelch,
and sea,
more chilling than the roar.
A flash of flesh
was cause enough
for terror thoughts galore.
Returned I am,
my thoughts
beholden to
this deity of lore.
Influenced by H.P. Lovecraft's short story 'Dagon'. There's something so terrifying about the sea.
I knew I loved him
When I realized
I didn't expect anything
From him;
Not even his love.
i use a screen name
so no one sees my shame
or takes the blame
for my dying flame

I'm the same person
just a different version

So i can hide
it all inside
for all the times i cried
and lied
and all the times i wish i died
every time i tried
slicing my skin open wide

i use a screen name to let it all out
where i can use my voice to shout
i use a screen name
so i can be who i really am

— The End —
