Violent dreams curse my vain tries at sleeping,
**** and death await my closed eyes,
Like a siege schemed by my mind,
Not letting me forget I'm always dead.

My thoughts, still waking, slip to slumbering darkness,
Terrified of the horrors my mind generates.

Zombies don't eat brains;
Demons do.

He said he was done with killing.
But the Angel of Death never lets go of her lovers.

Each town he moved to,
She possessed him to claim another life.

Finally, he climbed a tall hill and looked out;
Took his own life, so the Angel of Death married him.

I guess you solved me like a Rubik cube,
Put me in your closet,
And let me choke on a lifetime of dust.
Written 26 March 2016... Misery was the original title, but I didn't think it fit so I changed it to Forgotten About

Whispering insects
Buzzing up above the air
Seeking lovely mates

My eyes are eyes like yours,
My arms.
My face.
My blood.
All flesh and bones.
Just like everyone else.

But when you get to my heart,
You will see it houses a synthetic soul.

My mind nothing more than,
A cold-blooded machine,
Analyzing,
Organizing,
Expanding.

I bleed red,
As do you.
I feel the wind,
As do you.

But we're not alike,
My flesh is nothing more,
Than a cloak,
Covering my metallic being,
Caged in mortality.

Swallowing whirlpool
Drowning me soft, underneath
Trying to be free
