Blackened petals, softly fall
within the crystal glass case
that forms my chest wall
deathly petals rest, at its base

The wilted rose of my soul
passionless, dark as night
droops, into my empty hole
a beauty forever lost from sight

Lifeless petals, slowly enclose
this symbol of love held inside
my lonely weeping rose
tied within my soul, has died

Until a true love is felt
silken petals, are unable to spread
the fragrance of beauty never smelt
my black rose never to bloom, a vivid red.

Silken ribbons lacing dainty ankles
toes snug within slippers in first position
she nods her head for the music to begin 
breathing a deep breath, ready to audition 
 
Vibrations dance through out the floor
her frail body flows with such grace
with an arabesque she looks into the crowd
hides her nervousness, with the smile upon her face
 
As pirouettes sync with the allegro tempo
into a grande jete she soars through the air
though her leg gives, she falls with broken pins
an elegant bun lands as unraveled hair
 
Breathing deep breaths, her heart beat races
while seeping into the floor she rests her head on
are the tears of failure forming a lake 
around the broken winged beauty, a fallen swan
 
Her shattered dreams unlace defeated slippers
for she has cried out all of her ambition
to be a prima ballerina, now never to curtsy
with ankles chained in fear locked in first position.

Blood trickles down your unsuspecting back
as I pierced through fabric with my pin
turning your irises black
as I light a match to artificial skin 
 
Engulfing flames burn through your spine
you run towards a jagged edge
as your mind is lost, becomes mine 
in a trance atop the ledge
 
I ripped out the heart that was sewn
stilled the pulse of my victim in thrall
falling as the winds had blown
when I blew down my voodoo doll.

As my beauty draws you near
I'm infatuating you with my disguise
leaning in to whisper words, insincere
darkness lures you, through my eyes

With a touch upon my body
the poison spreads within your veins
I'm not the person I embody
not a drop of good remains

Soon to be mine, my fixation
as my infectious vines will climb
up those who caused my mutation
the revenge will spread in time

As the surface of your skin
receives my hives, it sets ablaze
while the corrupting toxins set in
and your mind fills with haze

Vines climb squeezing you tight
green leaves red, feel my wrath
around your neck, your face white
breathless for walking down my path.

Floating along the rippling waters
atop a lily pad had sprout
the delicate buds of my daughters
awaiting the breeze, leading to me
 
With time the winds blew 
they blossomed into my heart 
their vibrant colours shone through
forever imprinting onto my soul
 
They are my sun rise
with rays of sparkling light
emanating from their brown eyes
to the dimples of their smile
 
My solace through the rain
a lasting velvet embrace
makes me breath with ease again
for within my arms, they are my air
 
Beautiful petals formed of me
though they have now bloomed
I will always still see
the delicate buds, of my lilies.

Silken curtains raise, strings firmly yank 
controlling my feet I unwillingly rise
my mouth woven shut, eyes blank
as I'm secured by knots, my master ties
 
Fastened, onto imperious boards 
once attached vivid strings dim
he manipulates my body, with his cords
maneuvering my every limb
 
I hang, by his dominating twine
my mind thus not my own
until I snip the facilitating line
once his strands of thread are unsewn  
 
Awaiting for his strings to be disintegrated
for his binds that own me, to disappear 
though curtains remain open, threads integrated 
I still, his marionette and he, my puppeteer.

I released my heart to the night sky
to be captured by a constellation
that of you, which I underlie
a celestial creation

I chose you, my trusting light
thousands of shooting stars arise
igniting the darkness of night
when you look into my eyes

Your smile portrays a golden key
releasing the endless love of ours
as it is softly whispered to me
through eyes of luminous stars

Though the moon fades into the sun
the night will fall again, to reunite
together as one
a star gazer and her light.

He can't hear the droplets
of my lonesome tears
the cracking in my voice
through faded ears 

He can't envision my pain
this life of grim skies
when he chose to be blind
with faded eyes 

He can't make me feel
when hands no longer clutch 
our lips lost from one another
this faded touch

He can't disentangle our past
set free the memory of
what would always be
a faded love.

Ripping off my unappealing skin
the agonising pigment of my complexion
to release the pain held deep within
under the flesh of a dysphoric reflection

Torn veins peacefully rest at my heels
as I drain the blood from my face
until what once was, forever conceals
the vision of me I couldn't embrace

So I chisel away at the exposed bone
obliterating the imperfect structure of me
as mangled pieces are viciously thrown
faraway from where the eyes can see

Feeling serene as my unconscious rage dies
as I covered the remains of my dissection
looked into the mirror through porcelain eyes
as I held to my face a mask of perfection.

She's falling from the winds hands
once held with trust
now still, as she gently lands
awaiting to capture her song

She releases all of her fears
gazes upon her shattered wings
as her feathers absorb betrayals tears
she sings to the wind

The only hands she's ever known
that took her from the sky
but with each breeze that's blown
her song will always soar

So she closes her trustful eyes
breaths thinned into silence
as the final notes rise
to misleading arms of the wind.

Perforated knees tremble over metal
blood painting the links as I crawl
my hands scabbed and brittle
upon each movement a painful squall

Pensive tear drops fall to be found
as my heart carries the many strains
of restoring a soul that's bound
finding the key to my restricting chains

The stains of my blood disappears
agonising wounds have all healed
my eyes opening serene of tears
unveiling what was once concealed

With my affliction now deceased
underneath my fears I found the key
the strength and courage that released
the person within, I have longed to be.

Above the water, drifting by the warm breeze
while below she swims, to await
beneath, lurking within murky seas
for me, to be her pulseless mate

Ever so slowly, she circles around
my boat, picturesque as she
breaks through, without a sound
above the water, she looks within me

Reels me in, with alluring deep green eyes
lovely hidden evil, she wants to drown
the life within, as she innocently tries
to pursue me, to pull me down

Submerged under water, a suffocated fate
captured, in a trance used to compel
me onto her hook, enchanting beauty as the bait
that casted upon me, a mermaids spell.

I find myself unconsciously knowing
What's been held all my years vastly growing
Deeply imprinted within my soul
Always open, sore, an empty hole
Feeling wounded, bleeding but nothing drips
Unveiling a heart that unzips
Open for all to see
What lies beneath, inside of me
Covered,drowning in tears
Consumed, overwhelmed, I hold many fears
Knowing this embracing it will set me free
Understanding, realizing this is who I'm meant to be
I feel it, you hear but cover your ears
I am alright the blur that was swiftly clears
Can't you see, put down your hands, uncover your eyes
Yes, I have a heart that always cries
I am built of sorrow, I say this strong
This is who I am, why change there's nothing wrong
I pray the way I am never ceases
That the sorrow that made me never vanishes.

I am torn, mangled thread
shreds entwined, firmly into a ball
tears of rough fiber discolored red
as I am cut, beginning to fall
 
Extracting the needle from within
bleeding, to unravel all my pain
I untangle, breaking off as I spin
decimated thread, with sorrow's stain
 
Ravaged strands, fell to be free
my weak twine, now unwound 
the knot of darkness once held me
though no longer has me bound
 
The despair that pained me clears
my heart's released from the sling
threads grew strong, dry of tears
I land, as unbreakable string.

A beautiful spectacle appears
cascading colors, fill the sky
by the sun's rays, the tears
captured, by an angels cry

The skies canvas, painted
draped with beautiful light
by vibrant colors sainted
the heavens gift, in our sight

A heartrending illustration
of beauty, for us is drawn
across the sky, the creation
from tear drops, we gaze upon

Arched above, by weeping eyes
tears rained down, to show
through the clouds, to rise
an angels sorrowful rainbow.

Reaching out, though you can't see my hand
my lifeless eyes scream for you to save me 
for a sane place is not where I stand
as I have sunk within my tears, a salty sea
 
Where sharks bite vigorously into my flesh
in the darkest depths of my drowning mind
I can't be me, no matter how hard I thresh
I'm attacked from within as water renders me blind
 
Four sharks are competing to be as one
within my body, where I am no longer found
I've lost my fight into the glistening sun
lost to the darkness, where my voice is bound.

You love me, I lie to you
saying, what you wanna hear
uttering, I love you to
deceiving, the ear.

With words, far from what's true
oblivious, to the real colours, of me
not seeing, what's in plain view
that i'm the lock, and your the key.

To the door, leading, to my every need
I'm beating you, at your own game
off of pure revenge, I feed
at your cockiness, I aim.

I used you, my perfect scam
filled your mind, with delusion
blinded you, of who I really am
a beautiful, illusion.

Rusted gears no longer turning apace
neurons slowly transmitting signals within
though millions of impulses interlace
a current trapped, in a continuous spin
 
Memories, emotions and thoughts
never received, a conscious lost in circulation
my muscles distorted, left in knots
for impulses have yet to find their destination
 
Lifeless circuits stand still within my head
as blank eyes lock into a gaze
comatose, turning brain dead
awaiting a flow, through my minds maze.

Entangled within you're distorted chains
your pendulum swinging in reverse
as the spring of our love strains
from weights that made us disperse 
 
As you're painfully inaccurate hands 
tick vigorously through my life
I cry my last tear drop as it lands
upon uplifting hope, freedoms knife
 
Dauntlessly cutting wires to unravel
from a future that seems unstable
untangling to allow my heart to travel
faraway, free from you're love's fable
 
Reminiscing the times forever glassed
within you're soul, beneath eyes so bleak 
I lock the door to my defective past
as I unwind the chime, of my beloved antique.

Falling droplets of my inner tears
saturating wheels as they slowly spin
tinged brown, my hearts rusted gears
the corroding metal that turns within
 
Where minutes pass, can't be saved
as blood is clotting within my veins 
the dial of dying love is engraved 
onto my heart, where time reins 
 
Stopping my pulse, as hands stilled
the vessels of cerise blood drain
while chambers are vastly filled
with tear drops of my unwinding pain
 
Drowning the bearings, you tore apart
I murmur loves ticking sound
sink the key, to my mechanical heart
to never again be so blindly wound.

I'm awaiting to bloom
to rise through winter's ground
wash away sorrow's perfume
undrape harsh winds that wrap around

That sends a chill
this lonely breeze
as my eyes fill
cold tear drops freeze

Buried underneath snow
a precious sprout
awaiting to grow
for my time to break out

From a life that's lost
I wait through the cold
covered by frost
until I escape winters hold

Until the sun melts away
winter and pain
skies of grey
never to form again

To arise a hopeful blue
robins sing
petals come anew
as it turns to spring

I push through the earth
in my garden of recovery
to show my worth
my discovery

I've bloomed
touched by a loving shower
my colors resumed
I opened, a beautiful flower.

Entangled by silk, shimmering thread
you struggle to break free 
to escape from what's ahead
but you're embedded prey, unable to flee
 
With every forceful kick, horrid scream
brings you closer to your death
the realization sets in, tears stream
as you panic with each breath
 
Struggling to survive, turns you weak
vibrations send terror as it nears 
with every step your future grows bleak
until standing over you, it appears
 
Caught in life's web, it stares within
saliva drips as it's mouth opens wider
blood flows as fangs pierce your skin
wrapped within silk, the victim of a spider.

My troubling thoughts are tangled
deep inside, within my mind
my sanity wants them strangled
unconscious, eyes blind

A crazed mind, to never think
these manic thoughts
the imagined and reality, never to link
kept entangled within knots

Lost oxygen, a mangled brain
mental pictures blood stained
contemplated ideas I restrain
disturbing thoughts, tightly chained

Thoughts from mind, never divisible
the controlling voices slain
the truth remains invisible
never knowing, I was mentally insane.

Sitting on the curb, I wait
the light within me quenched
to live or die, is what I debate
as rain falls, my body drenched

Unseen, by the people walking past
that are unaware of my intention
these strangers to whom I contrast
unknowing of my need, for intervention

Depressions rain, drips down my face
I search for happy thoughts
within my mind, the past I retrace
as I come up with blank lonely spots

No joy has ever touched upon me
a walk off the curb, digs my grave
gone from this world, an escapee
a depressed soul, you couldn't save.

Into my hands the darkness falls 
I silently lurk over you 
as the shadow on your walls 
the apparition you never knew 
 
Brown eyes unveil as red 
a pleasant face turns vile
my voice consumes you're head
murders you're vexatious smile
 
I am the demon living within
entwined through your veins
binding you beneath the skin
is my blood of sinister chains
 
I stole you through unreceptive eyes 
possessed you in the night
turning your heart black, as it dies 
for a shadow to walk in the light.

Satin petals encased
her heart's desolated pieces
from love unlaced
a fragrance of forlorn releases
 
Her tears trickle down
caress unconsolable hands
red eyes begin to drown
as her head lands
 
Onto a bed draped
with thorns of the foregone 
though she escaped
her heart has yet to press on
 
Until she has healed 
her heart breaks through
she remains concealed 
a rose so blue.

The passion for writing heats the coal 
igniting with every inspiration 
luminous flames within the soul
will melt together a beautiful creation
 
Pieced of moments that you can't escape
extinguished love that made you fall
burned memories closed off with tape
a poem is the victim of it all
 
As embers smolder, waiting to ignite
by troubles in life that will inspire 
a beautiful poem to rise in the night
set by arsonists, a poets fire.

My heart raced as my blood surged
weak veins began to shred
my distressed mind fully submerged
within the blood rushing to my head
 
Eyes bulging out of their socket
you're voice persists in my mind
unable to breath, with no air pocket
relief from this pressure I can not find
 
Until set free, as my head exploded
your words the bullet to the gun
I succumbed to you, my mind eroded
as you're pressuring had ultimately won.

A ruby red slowly drips
down my bruised mouth, ****** denial
flowing off of trembling lips
droplets land, within your vial
 
My canvases blood draining
weak, an unconscious life 
lying on the floor, a painting
the creation by strokes of your knife
 
Stained walls, the room a flood
once more you dip your brush 
into your vial, drenched in my blood
striking my canvas, until a hush
 
With the painting of me complete
a beauty, now deathly art
his piercing strokes, stilled the beat
of my once pulsating heart.

Hovering above, thoughts absorb within a cloud
formed by fear and questions that lurk
profusely raining down on my mind aloud
there's no clarity seen through the murk

Unsure if my own thoughts even exist
influenced by others getting in my head
assisting fears, with no answers forms mist
this clouded mind is why I'm misled

The opening for others input has closed
as the raining thoughts of theirs subside
the answers left behind have been disposed
now my mind, the decisions I decide

With a chain around my own fears
my mixed thoughts locked, can now converge
as the once dense fog slowly clears
through the cloud of uncertainty, I emerge.

Alone and unseen, for help he calls
as he lies, stricken with uncontrollable hysteria
yells gracefully touch upon the many walls
that bounce off, within the darkly enclosed area

His fearful invisible waves, that vastly travel
with a strong, never ending persistence
to carry out it's mission to unravel
the message that was spoken, from a distance

Trapped within, underneath rocks and debris
in and out of consciousness, slowly slipping away
hoping his desperate calls of distress reaches me
to escape the darkness, to see the light of day

The voice of my love, the loudly weeping waves
now faintly heard cries, as it slowly disappears
vibrating within ancient depths of the caves
his lost echo, that never reaches my ears.

Beyond the hills
lost in life's forest, will I be found
harsh winds, blanket me with chills
is here, where I'm forever bound.

My path to freedom, covered by leaves
once having hope, I now turn dreary
for the star that lights my way, deceives
I fall, from this forest I'll never be free.

As I lie here helplessly
feeling soothed, by the nights tune
my eyes become droopy
as I am cradled, by the moon.

Under the darkened wings of her soul
lies a heart cloaked in deceit
tormented by the love she stole
by the lives that were left incomplete

Encaged for leaving infidelities scars
for her destructive soul to reform
she's entrapped by cold lonely bars
until her dark wings transform

When her past has been shed
hinges to the door will disengage
when pure wings out spread
she will be freed from her cage.

Ink, wouldn't fill my paper
into the air it leapt, turning to vapor
the words, never crept into my head
maybe, there not meant to be said
because my thoughts, have gone and hid
to be written, on this paper, they forbid.

Not one word, nor sentence, has entered my mind
the way to express, my feelings, I can not find
a mind and heart confused
my hand, to this pen, is fused
because I owe, that much as an explanation
to say I'm sorry, for the separation.

But am I truly sorry, that we are not meant to be
that you and I together, is not what I foresee
now released, from all confusion
free, from the disillusion
that I owed you, now knowing better
the pen to my hand, defuses, and I crumple this letter.

Saliva drips from the mouth of a savage beast
his yellow murderous eyes fixated on mine
my tears of terror had suddenly released
as he jumped on me, snapped my spine

With my face pressed into the moist dirt
my horrid screams seeping within
piercing nails tare through my shirt
as the nights moon illuminates my skin

Jagged teeth sink into my defeated back
my body motionless from the blood shed
veins torn out, pressured bones crack
as ruffled fur stains a slaughtered red

Arteries and flesh paint the cold ground
howls echo through the soundless night
feeling his warm breath as he comes around
fangs pressed on my pale neck, for one last bite.

Wistful tear drops fall
landing onto you're devious fire
burning my chest wall
the heart you no longer desire
 
I am screaming to be freed
as a broken heart cries
though wounds slowly bleed
tears do not flow from these eyes
 
For they are closed tight
as to not show I have not healed 
that I fight flames burning bright
with the tears I've concealed 
 
That are hidden behind dry lashes 
within is where I fell apart
where I release to you ashes
the remnants of my heart.

I don't want to be, the one they find
Can you see my fears, that lie behind
In the night, is when they rise
Roaming free, above lonely skies
To look above, I dare not be caught
As night continues, I grow distraught
There flying closer
Reaching nearer
Can I be seen
The night sky, turns serene
Squeezing my eyes, tightly shut
A dreadful feeling, sinking in my gut
I feel them, overhead
All I see are wings, outspread
My time is ending, that's why they've come
Seen from above, fallen victim
To what I thought to be demons, in the night sky
Are angels, here to guide me when I say goodbye.

Clenching the bark of an icy branch
as it's too afraid of letting go
of being forgotten, buried
underneath the frigid snow
 
As it is touched by winter
withered from the cold
its stem quivers from a breeze
thus makes it loss ahold
 
Dreadfully swirling within the wind
never will you hear its cry
nor know the pain it feels
falling through the frosty sky
 
A life frozen by winter
as it gracefully lands upon
to be buried beneath
glistening white, forever gone.

As two shadows were cast
hand in hand we walk
until love as though glassed
shatters, and our hands unlock

Time goes by, I discover
that our shadows we composed
vanished, behind clouds that cover
deep emotions I once exposed

Hidden rays no longer beam
love fades into the dark
eyes have lost their gleam
as sorrow leaves its mark

The day arose, clouds subside
I look down at last
seeing now tears have dried
only a single shadow cast.

Satanic finger tips glide across the glass
as I am entrapped within a mirror
watching in my delirium as you pass
silently awaiting for you to draw nearer

For you to look deep into darkened eyes
to dig my nails into your deceptive skin
pulling you inside, where the true you lies
to the evil you repress within

As transparent tears trickle down your face
a viscous scarlet blood drips off of mine
as your unfortunate existence will erase
when a body and reflection combine

Bound to me, by torturous chains
my imprisoning glass blood spattered
inaudible screams trapped within the remains
of the mirror that was unframed, the glass shattered.
