Power Struggle
Rachael Taylor Apr 2016
Large wings,
Constant mischievous smirk
He fell from the sky
Blurred in shades of red
A war between winged humans
And 9 tailed foxes
Bones snapping,
Metal clashing,
Wings flapping,
Fangs baring
The enemies blood
Mercilessly slaughtering
One another
Proving their strength

Cold as Ice
Rachael Taylor Apr 2016
No one there to touch, to feel,
To hold every second it strikes me
In this hellish agony

You brought me out, but were never there to comfort me, comfort me, comfort me
Don’t remember how you could have made me this way, this way

There’s ice spilling from my voice
From the deepest pit of my heart
There’s ice spilling from my voice
Loneliness is my only art

Ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah

Think you can help, I’m unimpressed
Chop away at that iceberg
I’ll make it so you have nothing left

You brought me out, but were never there to comfort me, comfort me, comfort me
Don’t remember how you could have made me this way, this way

There’s ice spilling from my voice
From the deepest pit of my heart
There’s ice spilling from my voice
Loneliness is my only art

Ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah

Formerly, I was in the light
Oh the way I kept the ice in my chest
Now I have been pushed too far
Time to release all my feiry

There’s ice spilling from my voice
From the deepest pit of my heart
There’s ice spilling from my voice
Loneliness is my only art

There’s ice spilling from my voice
From the deepest pit of my heart
There’s ice spilling from my voice
Loneliness is my only art

Ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah
This is a song more than a regular poem soo...

The Devil I Released
Rachael Taylor Apr 2016
I can’t beat these instincts
So many things I’ve lost
In this bittersweet hell
Can someone help me through this struggle
I can’t manage myself

So what if you see the wildest side of me?
Don’t hope that you can alter this devil, so long subdued
Please persuade me, it’s an illusion
Can somebody help me tame this demon
(This devil, this devil)

Can’t beat this devil
So many times I’ve tried
It is out of control
Can someone help me through this struggle
I can’t manage myself

So what if you can see the wildest side of me?
Don’t hope that you can alter this devil, so long subdued
Please persuade me, it’s an illusion
Can somebody help me tame the devil I released
Please persuade me, it’s an illusion
Can somebody help me tame this demon

Can someone get me through this struggle
I can’t manage myself
Can someone help me through this struggle
I can’t beat these instincts

So what if you can see the wildest side of me?
Don’t hope that you can alter this devil, so long subdued
Please persuade me, it’s an illusion
Can somebody help me tame the devil I released
Please persuade me, it’s an illusion
Can somebody help me tame this demon

The devil I released
Rachael Taylor May 2016
My love,
You’ve wandered astray
Shortly after May.
Would you agree, love?

We share a mind,
But you’re so far away.
Please return and play
Unlike humankind.

No one can separate us
In lining of silver and gray
Traveling on our sleigh
Likely being a klutz

Finishing each other’s thoughts;
Leading others astray
From our right of way.
Let’s finally take some shots.

Drunken at the bar,
Standing and beginning to sway
While having a delightful day
We shine like a star.

Jumping into bed,
Giving ourselves leeway
For tomorrow’s day,
Along with its dread.

Town of Misfortune
Rachael Taylor Apr 2016
Darkness engulfed
The most effervescent town.
Looking at the sun in disgust,
His hair glimmered-
Kisses from the sun
He stood out everywhere
Without caring who saw-
Waved goodbye to the sun
An animal-like smile slipped
Across his lips,
Witnessed the sun being devoured
Some say: He’s insane!
He claims to be having
A little fun

World Without You
Rachael Taylor May 2016
What can I do
In this world without you
Without sunshine,
Without light
There is nothing
What do I do
In this world without you?

When I lost you
I lost my way,
My hope,
I lost my dreams
What do I do
In this world without you?

Without you I am nothing
I have no substance,
No hope,
I have no light
What do I do
In this world without you?

What do I do
In a world without you?
What do I do
When I lose you?

Untitled
Rachael Taylor Apr 2016
Putting everything I have into becoming sane
As the wind fiercely made its way around the sky, so blue
Everything eventually succumbed to the mark of Cain

I voluntarily isolated myself in my distant domain
Every day, little by little, my thoughts spiral askew
Putting everything I have into becoming sane

I could use some help to figure out a way to contain
All of the things that have been past due
Everything eventually succumbed to the mark of Cain

Immortally connected to this resilient chain
My being as new as the dim light coming through
Putting everything I have into becoming sane

Death is a Wingspan
Rachael Taylor Apr 2016
Time slows for no one
For me it's just as true
I'd beg every god in existence
Just one more second with you

Time is unforgiving
Just as death can be
I'll beg both to stop in their tracks
I'll beg both to show mercy

I've swallowed my own blood
Thinking of losing you
If time and death don't hear my plea
I haven't a clue what I'll do

I'll have to resort to rewinding the world
Like what a video could do
Then time and death will have no choice
They’ll have to listen to me

I'll beg them to take me
After all I'm just a girl
You are a deity come to life
And I'm nothing in this world

Worthless and meaningful
death longing - death's undeserving
Take the one that means nothing
Leave the one that's worth living

My words have no meaning
Your words heal the sick
I hold you as your eyes close for the last time
Because death is a wingspan

Eternity of Misery
Rachael Taylor Apr 2016
Here I lie for eternity
Waiting for something
For anything
To quench my thirst

Hanging from a rope
Head held low
Hands held high
Heed this warning:
Happiness will always fade

Through the fire and the flames
It is where we come to feed
To torture - to play
Now it is time to smoke them out

Misery is all I know
All I have longed for
Happiness, a sin
For those who are scared

I stand on high ground
Fear in the air
You can try to bring me down
Bring the ruckus on

On my own
In the zone
Vacant is the land
Nothing but air
This is my home

Consequence
Rachael Taylor May 2016
Hello Mr. Walker
Why don’t you talk to her
Look at what you’ve done

She keeps lying
And they keep prying
“What is going on?!”

She keeps crying
As well as dying
Keeping it all to herself

All alone she thinks to herself
‘I can’t live with myself’

She’s falling into the black
Letting it take her back
To where she truly belongs

A knife, hand in hand
Ready to join
Those just like her

‘What have I done?’
‘Who have I become?’
She feels like nothing on this plane

— The End —
