memories
slip into darkness
hide in the recesses of my mind
trust love betrayal pain
blend together
whirl together
a dizzying mess of
questions answers
uncertainty
and in the center of it
focus
i focus on the
shell
clean shining
filled with grains of sand
from days long past
sand that filled your hand
sand that snuggled between your
toes
salty air cool water
whipping
whirling
against my face
like the memories
and the darkness
curls around them once again

Black eyes, blue heart, green hands, yellow soul
Girls in white dresses, who dip their face in blood
Bear themselves with a hellish grace.
Forked roads never lead to the correct destination
Following the angels of hell leads to nothing but the abyss
Gorging myself on beauty, I see the white sky
Flogging myself with duty, I see my heart go by
Burning myself with nothing, I stare into her eyes
And I feel like I'm dying, like I am death,
Like it's in me, like it is soaking through me
And I can't breath, or look away.
This is my life, and I have to live it. Even though everyday I'm handed a black rose.
I feel like I've been shot through the heart to many times to name.

They are times I feel like my life is repeating itself,
Things that make me sad,
Disgusted,
Keep happening,
In various ways,
Over again.
What am I to do?
It hurts my heart to think of you,
yet you're always right at the front of my mind,
right along with the discomforting thoughts.
What am I to do?

Drown  me in your wave of dreams
Suffocate me into the night
**** me away with slumber
Smother me with darkness
****** my never ending thoughts
Erase my worries and problems
Sleep, please take me away from here.

The season
It’s here
The parents are busy
While the children are care free
We plan and come together
Parties and dinners
Presents and thanks
The season
It’s meant to be happy
The parents can’t pay rent
While the children don’t have a winter coat
We take up side jobs and sacrifice sleep
Long nights and long days
Heat bills and cheap bonuses
The season
I’m happy it’s here
My parents say it’ll be small
While my sister and I say we don’t mind
There’s food on the table and wood in the fire
Teasing and inside jokes
Long talks and secret sharing
The season
It’s for family

Inside

Look me in the eyes

Don’t you see

The fear and pain that I hide

Talk to me

Let me cry

Maybe someday

I’ll let you inside

So you can understand

Me and who I am

How I live my life

Always hoping it would end

The walls that I’ve built

Please don’t even try

You’ll never pull me out

My chest felt like bursting
My ribs felt as if broken
All sight didnt seems clinging
All sound couldnt be eaten.

What is happening? What is this feeling?
My lips were zipped tightly.

I could hear my heart murmured
I could see my veins running
And the drumming became louder
Like the march of the army.

Didnt I do well? Should I ring the bell?
I've no slightest idea.

My eyes been jumping now and then
As the walls kept beating me up
I shook my head like a titan
With my lungs screamed out to the yard.

I've had this enough I say
Stop getting into my way.

No more pretends to be fine.. You'll see..
I'll put the end to the line.. Let it be..

It is better that I left sooner,
sooner rather than later.

I wanted more,
more than you could give me.

One scene
Two rooms
Three memories
He ordered the troops to retreat
from the War on Terrorism.
Welcome to the war on sanity.
Define real, test reality, prove what’s happening is actually happening.
Just a taste, five hits to the synapses
Overboard, complexity ensues.

The Woman of the World

Who declares that
On her journey to London
She realized how disgusted she is
With America
And
Our misgivings
As she orders
Cheeseburgers and Beer
While men throw
Around the horn
