The aroma
of you, it
Fills my senses
So intoxicating
As your neck
Is pulsating
I begin to
Lose my grip
My sanity begins to slip

May I come
Just a little closer?
I only need this one thing
To give me closure
I try to forget
Or redirect
My mind
As it starts to
Close in

Let me run the tips of my fingers
Upon the surface of your skin
Allow me to capture each drop
Of blood as it passes through your veins
Let me partake of your flesh
In every possible way

Your skin is ripe
And soft from youth
Your flesh is tender
And beautiful, too
Something that I must abuse
Something I can not refuse

Let me have one bite
Or two
Just Enough to keep
Me satisfied

Many questions fill my mind
But the key word
Always seems to be
Why?

Why did you have to go this way?

Why can't you still be here to stay?

Why can't you be here in my arms?

Why don't I grow tired of holding on?

My knees have grown tired
From asking God why?

My heart has been broken
Completely this time

What would he ask me,
As he gazes down upon me?
I believe
This, he would ask

Why do you let yourself
Live this way?

Why do you still grieve
In pain?

Can't you see, that I
Didn't leave?
You hold a piece of me
Everywhere you go

I may be gone
But I'll never let you go

Will you please
Be strong for me?
For, one day you will see
That we can be together again

It may seem like forever
Dear friend
But your broken heart
Will some day mend

When we can be
Together again

Clouding my judgement
the smoke
Shrouds my soul

Charring the essence
Of my humanity
Dark as coal

Visions of the past
Haunts me
Still to this day

Letting me know
This feeling
May never go away

Still the smoke
Churns from the house
On that night

And his flesh burns
From the flames
That ignite

Here I stand
So helpless
Frozen where I stand

As the heat radiates
From the house
Where you live

Every time
I see smoke taint the air
I remember that night

It was the last night
I'd ever seen you alive

It was the last night
Before the smoke
Filled my mind

My heart
Can't take this
Anymore

All the pain
The hate

All the precious
Drops of rain
They drip
And leave a stain

My life
Is shattered
I've been
Bruised and battered

But these precious
Drops of rain
Bleed away
At my mistakes

Everything
I've ever wanted
Slips between my fingers
Like the tide pulls from the earth

Still these precious
Drops of rain
Forgive me
For what it's worth

Finally I can be
One with harmony

With a knife
I take my life
What a peaceful
Tragedy

I'll drift away
And feel no pain
With last words spoken,
I will say,

*"Red rain
Flow free
Take this world
Away from me"

A smile
A nod
Such a gentle gesture

I know
You're gone
I'm fighting harder to let
Myself move on
But the burden's
Getting harder

Too hard to go on
I've grown tired
Of being strong

There's not a day
That passes me by
That I don't dream
of your face
And the pain
Never fades

A sore reminder
That you are gone
Is when I expect you
To be there
-I call your name-
But you're really not

I'm sad
And weary
These same old days
Are dark and dreary

My veins filled with ice
So cold
You were the warmth
That filled my soul

Now I'm left
A shell
Of the person
You once knew
Because without you
I am gone
The only difference
Between us
Is your heart
No longer beats

But mine
Does
In my mind
I've been dead a long time
The moment
You left my life

Why can't I write
Of good times?

Why can't I be
A normal human being?

Why can't I smile
For once and mean it?

Why can't I have a hope
And believe it?

Why am I cursed
To be this way?

Why do I suffer,
Always feel ashamed?

Why do I write my pain
Upon my skin?

Why can't I let happiness
Enter in?

Sometimes I fear
I will never find peace

Sometimes I cry
In search for a life
That is so much better
Than the one I try
Why must I believe
In such a foolish lie?

The youngest child
Is normally spoiled
Coddled and sheltered
Until it's been taken too far

Not me
I've been walked on
Looked through
I've been abused
And no one did one **** thing

I could never do
What I want
Not even one innocent thing

I could never
Do what my brother does
Because I'm a girl
And he isn't me
He is free

I walked my life
All alone
My mother loved
Her precious phone
Above me

Playing on Facebook
Ignoring me
For hours
If I spoke to her
She wouldn't acknowledge me

My father
He's unfair
Even if he tries to be fair
I'm always left out
Abandoned

I'm the child, unwanted

I wish

For once

They could see me

Or maybe

For once

They would believe me

But I'm just here
Breathing borrowed air
Wasting away
In the frozen atmosphere
