I put a cigarette between my teeth
While Hundreds of bats soared
Through the Brick wall corridors
Through the strobe of flashing signs
  “Danseuse nu”
And so I cupped my hands
Before my puckered lips
Shielding the dancing flame
As though it were an infant
Shivering in the wind
I am nocturnal as well
But I do not fly
Nor do I screech through the restless night
I watch, oh I watch
*And I write
Lately writing has been so ******* hard. ive got no motivation what so ever :(. I am not too proud of this but i decided to post it anyways

The underworld,
hidden from the heavens,
so deep down,
that no-one hears your screams.

Traps you from the light,
turns you into a living corpse.
Leaves you in depression,
giving you no reason for life!

The underworld,
a black pit of dispare,
taking all hopes, crushing all dreams,
leaving you with a darkened heart.

The underworld,the place where life ends,
the place I rule and where I wear the loyal reef.

time seems to slow down exponentially
when you’re staring at the hands of a clock:
a minute can seem like a lifetime;
look away and they will change,
as if they were too shy to do anything
underneath your watchful gaze.

you were like this:
i didn’t know what i wanted until
i was no longer searching for it,
until you came from out of nowhere
and made me see what i’d always wanted
but never knew how to figure out.

i want to hold you
i want to help mold you
into a beautiful angel
sorry i am for the fact youve been strangled
suffocating in your skin
makes me wallow in my sins.

i love you for eternity
and if you will let me
i will love you double.

i promise youll never see another day of trouble
as long as your with me.

my heart bleeds for the pain youve been feeling
but we could just lay in bed and stare up at the ceiling
and twiddle our toes
to a melody we create
and i promise youll never have to sleep alone again when it gets late.
One lovely name adorns my song,
And, dwelling in the heart,
Forever falters at the tongue,
And trembles to depart.

The voices in my head tell me to give up
They tell me I am not good enough
They mock me, they laugh at me
It seems I can't escape from them
Why did they chose me  it's a nightmare
I scream but no one hears me
Maybe I can not escape because I am nothing without them.

To miss you

To miss you,
It is not a choice or an option.

It is a fate that was dictated on me,
For you my love.

My affection for you is intense,
And strengthen by our love bonds.

Connected through your heavenly heart,
That trembles me all the way up to bottom.

I haven’t been able to sleep for the past couple of nights,
something I wish that could just be classified as a typical case of insomnia.
But I know the reason for my wandering, rambling mind
extends far beyond a simple medical diagnosis.
As I lay awake tossing and turning I've deduced that I have two possibilities to explain
my current misfortune.
My first option is that I’m nearing the brink of insanity -
which I’m trying to convince myself is true-
because I don’t think I could come to terms with the other reason.

And yet there’s no evading it.
Every time I close my eyes, I see her face and inadvertently find myself submerged in her perfection. This is then accompanied by a pitiful pang of longing.

The truth is, I didn’t come for her.
It was never about her.
In fact, right before I got myself into this mess I had constructed a mental compilation of things I wouldn’t allow myself to do.
  I had reassured myself with a definitive firmness that if I broke her heart,  I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.

Of course, that was when I still could sleep.
That was before I developed a stupid conscience.
That was before everything changed.
And now I’m running out of options and running out of time.
This started off as a short story which I attempted to mold into something poetic. Which format do you think suits it better- short story or poem?

There once was a boy
Who took on destiny
Standing on one leg
And without a slither of mercy
He killed her
With a funny joke
And his old wooden cane

*It may not seem like it
And it wont for a while
But those bolts and pins in your leg
Are for Your smile
For my brother who is currently undergoing surgery.
