Screams

When I walked into the room that morning, his eyes fleeted to me
I notice his glare, and I wince painfully
Your eyes fall down to my chest, then my bare legs, and then my arms
"So, how good was last night?" You ask me, a voice so sleepy it would make any girl drool
I pick at my collarbones, feeling their sculpted shape
"Where am I?" I look around the room, my back hunched in a scared position
"You're where every girl wants to be." A smirk forms across his thick lips
You take a drag of your cigarette, and blow it my way
The surface of my skin becomes invaded with goosebumps
It is as if they were telling me to run as far away as I can
"Don't look so down, girl, your money is on that night table." He motions his head towards the bedroom.
I quiver in confusion.

"Excuse me?"
He chuckles. "Your money for last night is on the table."

I clench my teeth, and my eyes fill with hate.
My whole eyes turn black, as if I were a demon from space
My skin turns pale as a ghost
I bite my bottom lip, with a sinister sneer forming on my mouth
His eyes then widen, and his eyebrows raise in fear
My sharp teeth grow by the second
"What the ****?" He cowers in his chair.
I was becoming bigger, and at this point, I was already towering over him
My second form was activated, and I wanted to devour him whole
I licked my lips in hunger, and I lunged for his neck
My bare ******* laying on his chest
My arms locked his in place
"Don't move, it will hurt if you do."
A chuckle escape my throat
As I rip his skin to shreds
I devour his beating heart
His screams are music to my ears
My own heart pumps as adrenaline fills my veins
I rip his spine from his mouth and use it as a necklace
I crack his ribs open and tear at his blackened lungs
Colorful butterflies escape the opened holes of his breathing pipes
Those souls of all the girls he's jailed inside him for so long
I let them escape, each thanking me with a soft touch to my cheek

I return to my human form, and put my clothes back on
His body parts sprawled all against the floor
The splatters of blood on the wall behind him

His dead eyes were fixed on me
And I thought it would be a good way to leave was for him to stare at my ***

It's inevitable.
So why do I fear it?
Why am I drowning in an ocean of thorns whenever I think about it?
It's as if my heart is having an earthquake when I realise I'm ageing,
Because I don't want to grow up.
But time goes by so fast,
Maybe if I look the other way it'll all pass?
What is 'death'?
The stopping of a heart?
The loss of activity in the brain?
Just the plain disappearance of something?

Or is it the last time someone's name is spoken
from the mouth of their last lover?
Maybe it's the first time their peers
stop noticing the absence of their friend's voice.

Death is defined as:
"The termination of all biological functions that sustain a living organism."

But death is so much more than the biology involved.
It is the end of that person's thoughts, emotions, and doings.
It is the end of every relationship that person has ever had.

Death is the loss of a partner, a friend, or classmate.
It is the absence of a smile, voice, or joke that they always told.

It is a totaled car followed by an officer at the neighbor's house.
It's and old man who brings flowers to the cemetery
on every 3rd Sunday of every month.

It's the feeling you get when you no longer feel like a child
and feel the weight of the earth on your shoulders.

Death, is the loss of a little girls innocence
and the slaughtering of her pride in herself.

It's realizing that the last time you hugged your friend, partner, or mother, that it was the very last time.

Death is not just something that happens and is forgotten about.
It is something that is carried and felt.

It's something that means so much than just the organs, flesh and bones. The word itself strikes fear and discomfort in those around to hear it.

Death, is unavoidable
and whether it happens to you, or those who surround you,
it isn't something you can run from.

If anything, death is something to expect and embrace.
Death can happen at any moment to anyone, anywhere.

Whether it be an accident, a freak mishap, or a purposeful act,
Death is the end of this winding rode we drive on
and our cars are always on 'E'.

Every risky road uses more gas but in turn can help you find more.

But no car can drive forever.
This is an informational piece on my definition of the word 'Death'

The Hand of Death grips me,
It's icy hold,
Peaceful, sweet.

The sweet voice,
Beckoning me,
Cajoling me,
The Hand of Death pulls me into the light.

The clinging grasps,
The searching fingers,
They pull me back,
Establishing an everlasting game of tug-of-war.
They don't understand,
They need to let me go.
It's for the best.

I'm straining for peace,
Straining for love,
But staying for them.
Why?
I honestly don't know..

My soul is full of a lonely song
My blindness is my sight
The shadows that I feared so long
Are all alive with light

Like in every shadow there is light
In every tear, a smile,
In death there still is life
That lingers for a while.

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
I would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal
Love leaves a memory no one can steal
Because if life is a beautiful lie,
Death is the ugly truth.

it’s a quiet thing,
death is.
because no matter how loud you scream
how hard you cry
or if you slip away on your own
everyone around you grasping at your life
that falls like sand through their fingers
time moves on.
and i still can’t quite understand
how you can go from being everything
made up of stardust
and the remains of galaxies
to being nothing at all
and still life
moves on.

Death by ******, death by chance,
Death by secret night romance,
Death by number, paint the liner,
Death in colour or black and white,
Accidental, planned prolonged,
Death by always doing wrong,
Death by self, a timeless art,
Death by one last broken heart.

take me to a world where doors are open
a lovely little place where no one is bruised or broken
a destination where not a single soul feels alone or unwanted

wishing upon the stars was something I always did
it gave a feeling of safety because these dreams where mine
I wished for simple things like a hug or just to see you smile
I wished for a kiss and sometimes for a little more of that
but the most important thing I wished for was your company
because in my own little world you were all I cared about

today was the first day of spring
I could see the sun staying with us longer, shining bright
I asked myself the question when will I see you again
maybe this monday or maybe never, it kills me to not know
we got lost in time and space and there is no inbetween

water fell down from the sky
like the tears that fell down on the floor
everything started to go down and she knew
even her favorite band could not save her out of this
this girl who was so close to recovery got lost again
the darkness called her named, an empty hole of lonelines
the scars on her wrist were her sign of being alive

but in the end she didn't care about her broken things
everything always was and always will be about you
because this kid made her world more beautiful and worthy

and so she wished upon the stars ..
for one last time..
It was you that I adored.
