Life is a slow death
Remembering
all we
had and lost,
Against our will
We found the cost
Beyond our reach
And so
We cry
and dream of life
Though we must die.
Despite the struggle
Despite the pain,
I'd still do it all again
To see you
One
more
time.

Dreadful Monday
Sitting here
Among the idiot
Chatter severe
Blank expressions
Garbled words
Under the radar
Unseen, unheard
Counting seconds
Losing my head
Anxiety stricken
Better off dead
Another appointment
Facing the spotlight
"How have you been?"
Everything's alright
Exit in haste
Sickening refrain
Back to uncertainty
Into the rain.

I wish I could explain
The tide
Of pain,
That swept aside
The spark of youth
Burning bright
It dimmed the truth.
A darkness
Consuming hope and care
Leaving only hate,
Despair.
A splinter
Buried in my skin
Rotting all that's good
Within.
Now what remains
Is just a husk,
Emptiness
from dawn to dusk.
I wish I could explain
This fate
But even now
It's just too late.

It was always so
            always this way.
With each new day
So full of dismay.
The feelings corrupt
Fading fast
Passing by,
Holding my breath
Waiting to die.
The dawn brings
No light.
No promise.
No love.
Just a trial of despair
To rise above.
The weekend
Brings no comfort,
Just the trauma
Of loss.
No matter
The price,
I won't pay the cost.

Unshaken
Beyond this simple world
I have become unlike
Them all.
Wandering
Behind realms
Lost.
Unknown and
Rejected.
Not looking for
A way back,
Just a way out.

Teeth that sink
Into my skin
Hellish,
With their mighty thorn
Spiral pain
into my heart
Mighty with
    vampiric sting.

My words are
ineffectual
Stunted,
Silent in my throat.
I'm screaming torment
Inwardly
But you won't
even know.
The days have faded
Constantly,
Though pain it
Still remains.
There is no comfort
now you're gone,
No shelter from
This reign.
I'd pray to god
To help me live
But the devil's
more my kind,
I'd like to burn forever
And leave this
world behind.
