Death shadows,
Over the empty house,
He looks upon,
The girl and the gunshot wound,
Through her ivory temple,
Spattered beautifully,
With fresh, crimson tears,
He witnesses her,
Breathing for the last time,
Before he takes,
Life from her discarded body,
And hears her last thought,
Echoing within the dark room,
He listens as she wonders:
*How will he find out?

Nine Words

Before I retreated,
To the safety,
Of my wardrobe walls,
Nine words escaped,
My father's lips,
I know this is going to upset you but...
Frantic, I did not wait,
To hear the rest,
But slammed the closet door,
And disappeared,
Into the darkness

In The Maze

I walk through the maze,
That is my life,
Sometimes I run,
But at every turn,
Disappointment,
Betrayal,
Death,
They all catch me out,
Forcing me down,
To where I "belong",

I don't belong down there,

Every so often,
He takes their place,
In the corner,
Between the paths of my maze,
A little light amidst the dark,
Keep going, you must keep going,
I will,

A promise I know I'll keep

Endings

I feel the world,
Crashing down around me,
The buildings collapse,
Everyone's dying,
All around me,
They say their goodbyes,
And leave me,
Lying in their pools of blood,
The others, the living,
They weigh me down,
For reasons I can't comprehend,
They anchor me in my place,
Stop me from running,
Tear me down,
That's when I know,
I'm not going to fight it,

Look where that got me last time

One More Burn For The Collection

It's stupid,
How we come to trust,
Someone,
Because they listen,
And then, as if you never expected it,
They turn around,
With the same old smile,
In their eyes,
And slap you in the face,
And all you can do,
Is feel the bitterness,
Burning so deep,
Scaring your blood-stained skin,
And you can't help but wonder,
*Why?

Betrayal

It's that same,
Nauseating feeling,
Stuck in my throat,
I could almost throw up,
That feeling of betrayal,
Poisoning my thoughts,
I lean over the sink,
I can't win,
Never,
I want to run away,
Because I can never seem,
To understand,
Why me?

I change my mind,
I want to die.

Why Was It Raining

Why was it raining,
That day,
One year ago,
When I left you,
Alone,
On the balcony
