Broken
Cracked and Shattered
Scarred
Ripped and Burnt

Heavy heart
Messy mind
Why are all this things mine?
Hollow chest
Numb to everything
Did it all switch off? Or just run away?

Loneliness holds me in its welcoming arms
Saying hello my dear friend are you back again?
And with a knowing glint in his eyes
Loneliness knows I'm alone inside

He holds me in his arms and chuckles as I cry
Shaking his end
Saying he told me so
Told me they all would  go
One way or another
I'd come back
Into the welcoming arms of my old friend
Lonely
My heart maybe be beating
But my blood isn't pumping
My lungs maybe be working
But I'm  suffocating

I'm drowning in my own  worthlessness  and patheticness
Clawing at my skin, ripping it away
It's the only thing I feel apart from
This numbness and pain
I'm spiraling out of control

Going backward instead of forward
My life crumbling around me
As everyone watches me drown
In the dark depths of my mind
I'm screaming out for help
Yet no one seems to here a sound

My eyes maybe open
But they can't see anything but the darkness of the world
My legs maybe be working
But the ache with pain

Just because I'm still alive doesn't mean I'm living
Choking on muffled screams,
She tries to escape the chair that holds her captive.
Blood seeps out of her as he laughs.
He drinks the dripping liquid with small licks,
Letting the copper taste dance lightly on his tongue.
A sharp, silver razor tears at her skin.
A knife grinds bones as he continues slicing her open.
He watches her drown in her blood, she tries spitting it out.
There's too much, the red liquid continues filling her lungs.
In his twisted idea of mercy,
He took the knife and slid it across her neck.
Torn veins and arteries released,
The last remnants of her blood pooled on the basement floor.
He bent over her and sunk his teeth into her.
Bite by bite, her body was torn apart.

Tossing and turning
I can't seem to find peace
The silence once again caused me to lose sleep
No noise to drown out my dark thoughts
How am I to get rest if my mind refuses to quiet
Forever thinking so it seems
All I want is to be taken by dreams
Slip into the sweet abyss of unconsciousness
Escape my reality that is slowly killing me
Forget for awhile that the world is a dangerous place
My mind is still awake
What is another night of hardly any sleep
Too many in a row to count
Soon exhaustion won't give my brain a choice
My body will fall under on its own accord
Too weak to keep up the battle with my mind
Then finally I will rest for awhile
But once I awake the process will repeat
Then several more days will go by until I  sleep
There pass the careless people
That call their souls their own:
Here by the road I loiter,
How idle and alone.

Ah, past the plunge of plummet,
In seas I cannot sound,
My heart and soul and senses,
World without end, are drowned.

His folly has not fellow
Beneath the blue of day
That gives to man or woman
His heart and soul away.

There flowers no balm to sain him
From east of earth to west
That's lost for everlasting
The heart out of his breast.

Here by the labouring highway
With empty hands I stroll:
Sea-deep, till doomsday morning,
Lie lost my heart and soul.
That time of night
Once again
It thunders in
My dreadful friend

Static
Prose
The torment comes

Immune
Torture
A voice of one

Vision
Mercy
It has none

Pain
Worthless
The deed is done

The dawn creeps in
Relief at last
The night retreats
A damaged past
