That fragile smile of yours
Eyes glistening in the wind
A whisper thrown into the sea
My hands quiver
I can see right through you
More and more
I can feel your presence
It burns into the back of my skull
Crying
Only see what you want
My thoughtless words
They agonize your soul
Why?
Sometimes I believed in us
Back when the smile you shined down onto me was real
“Please don’t leave”
You whispered carelessly into my ears
Those thoughtless words tortured me
The past can’t be forgotten
And in my fragile state
Only time will tell.
Despite what you thought
What you claim to believe
I loathed you from the beginning
Let’s make up, you beg
Snickering...
Shall we once more?
This macabre dance
With carcass hands
I embraced our imminence
To death
Raise your hands to this beginning
To this end
Our fable dwindles on the edge of this cliff
Please, you beg for me not to...
And on this fateful night,
I wasn’t swayed.
Wallowing inside, you fight my indiscretions
Setting aside all hope and lovers grace
You play yourself through the strings of a violin
Plucking each and every one so diligently
The bittersweet melody humming through ears
Once again, the harmonies break

Your destiny will soon begin to break
Now, shall we play with these...indiscretions?
This ear splitting sound rushing in your ears
This game is played with grace
Let’s play this round diligently
Listen over the violin

Try and look past the sound of the violin
Does your inner self continue to break?
How can a lesser soul play so diligently?
Continuing this battle with strong indiscretions
Yet still, there is no given grace
Let’s try and listen through ears

Please, please, these soundless ears
Can’t hear the sound of this violin
You play with little grace
This game isn’t supposed to break
Aren’t we getting sick of these indiscretions?
You think you can do this diligently?

You wonder why this game is played diligently.
Have you been listening through deaf ears?
You amuse yourself through indiscretions
There’s a reason for this violin
Playing this instrument until it begins to break
This is the feeling of grace

The need for grace
Overwhelms the want to play...diligently
Rules are bound to break
The ringing ends in ears
The end comes near for the violin
Still, you continue your indiscretions

We played with grace. Listened through deaf ears.
We played this game diligently. Through a violin
Yet you still break. Playing with indiscretions.
Sestina style wrote for poetry class
Let the deathly flower press to your lips,
******* sweet, poisonous nectar from forbidden dreams
Your withering bones, so frail
So full of decay
Your mind has shattered…
A fragment of what once was shimmering in the distance…
And you are afraid to grasp onto the hope that never was
The pungent aroma of the rotting existence wafting through resonance
Like a ripple in a pond, you seek difference in a world of comparison
Comparison that gives you no meaning
Comparison that makes you fragile and withered
Withering into a nothingness that has no light
Light cannot exist without darkness
But you, my dear love,
Are shrouded in only darkness.
With no hope of light…
No hope.
Helpless.
Their glassy eyes trace every existence,
They are watching...
With no where to go,
Their haunting cries echo beyond these trivial walls.
Sweat dripping,
Blood pouring,
Their phantom claws trace down your flesh.
Their tastes for tainted crimson,
With specks of flesh trickling down these dreaded barriers.
There is no escape.
There is only demise.
In this shattered hall of mirrors,
The clown offers no smile.
The legs crawl across shivering backs.
As the glossy gaze oozes scarlet,
The shadows only come out at night,
In this carnival of fright.
Your death is their craving.
The painted beauty hides so many secrets,
Behind a mask adorned with lies.
The tainted Seraph glides across the iridescent floor.
She calls to me.
With covered eyes, She beckons my body...
... And I’ve submitted.
My Angel deceives me,
With jaded lips,
I’ve taken a taste.
Sweet, ignorant indulgence,
I perched towards the edge,
And every whisper draws me closer...
Sanity...slowly slipping...
As She smiles,
Relief washes over me...
I shut my eyes, the last step towards insanity.
And every regret I have...
Disappears
As the darkness fades to glass
We’ve been victims of the past
The horror brings the shade
And we all begin to fade
As your finger pulls the trigger,
We all began to linger.
On a memory once swayed,
On a cemetery we laid.
Your death comes at will,
Jaded eyes began to swell.
Your mind begins to spill,
As your heart is forced to dwell.
Your web of lies,
Your thorns of cries.
They all are done!
At the strike of midnight,
His blood calls to me.
As we cross the dance floor, our masked eyes ascend.
He must realize who I am,
A whispering voice,
Ordering me toward him.
The glass slipper dissolving into a crimson mess.
His pristine wings are hidden in shadows,
My body begins to quiver.
He takes my hands and embraces me,
Our silhouetted dance…
Is as fake as the smile etched on my mask.
The knife behind my back,
He has no idea.
We lead into his private quarters,
He tears my wretched outfit off.
My knife twitches in my grip now,
The tears streaming down my cheek,
He takes them in his hand and kisses them.
My hand reaches to him in an eternal farewell,
The knife turns to me,
Through stained glass...
The moonlight veils our deadly embrace.
Let the quiet triumph come
As the darkness starts to drum
Seeing metal as it clashes
As the days turn into ashes
Love had been so bright
On this dreadful fate-less night
What happened to that day?
As we all began to pray
For our lives to meet the latter
Watched our time begin to shatter
In this life with no defeater
As we listened to the meter
As it began to dim so low
As we thought what we didn’t know
As our time turned the bend
We knew this was the end...

Sometimes I think too much,
Often I think of such
Awful things
With terrible rings:
I just want to talk to you.
But I know that I shouldn't,
And I know that you wouldn't.
Its pathetic how it all is,
But I guess it's not my business
That you don't give a **** about me
Yet I don't blame you,
Here's my apologies.
For not being enough of a friend
To let this just be the end,
You keep stepping out of my life
Then right back into it;
Sorry I grew attached to our strife
Hell, I know you don't give a ****,
And that hurts the most.
But the easy part is,
You don't even know.
I liked this girl and we were on and off close friends and now we're not and I don't see her ever so we probably won't be friends again which hurts because I miss having someone to talk to, and I don't open up to many people ever so the friendship was kind of important to me. But I guess that's life and I'll get over it eventually.
