I don't like love songs
Or any of the sort.
But when I look at you
I know that this is true.
Dark and icy nights
Were my only friends.
Now all I see is light
Yet I don't know
How this ends.
Spending days alone
Was a common sight,
With you I feel not forlorn
But like all is right.
Forgotten by everyone
I care not
Since you're the one.
The one to take me home,
*Beyond the stars
And dream once more.

Inside her live the demons
Blood-******* demons.
Forcing life out of her
Sending agony throughout.
She lies awake at night
As the occupants devour
Her glory and gore.
But soon they will be gone
When there's nothing left to feed on.
The beauty perished by the beast
Will be the scavenger's feast.

Walking through a busy street
The sound of hurried feet
Nearly drowned out
By fast cars and their rush.
Walking for a while,
The zipping slows down
Hurried footsteps calm.
Reaching a dark alley
With piles of rubble high
Leftovers of the incomplete
And youngsters so angry.
A place that reeks of hunger,
The hunger of freedom
The hunger of love.
Lungs exhausted
Of the blackness
That dwells within.
Eyes red from the false ecstasy
That lurks inside the unhappy.
They play with lightning
Giving no care
As they risk their lives.
Only light can destroy darkness,
They have a soul
But hiding in their shells
Illumination is captured within.
Consumed by demons
They don't fight back
Surrendering themselves
Trapped in the devil's lair.
Content with faux joy,
Or at least they exhibit
All they need
Is to believe in
Lost trust and lost love.
Their lungs may be black
Eyes red,
But their soul is always pure
Ready for a new life
Accepting of cure.
Momentary pleasure
Is the head's high, but
"Love and freedom" says the heart
"is mine."

Sitting by myself
In a room
Illuminated by
Fairy lights.
Sipping on some
Green tea
And treating myself
To chocolate therapy.
Thinking back to the days
When you were my first thought,
The last, and
Every thought in between.
My eyes wander into a haze
As my mind watches glimpses
Of happy days
Where we hovered inches
From each other
Breathing nervously
Before our lips touched.
The spark that ignited
Something called love,
A distant memory now
But please, take a bow.
Take a bow for the amazing feat
That shattered all my dreams,
My belief in love ruined
I hid my screams
I didn't want you to come back.
Giving out chances
Is a weakness long gone.
Playing games is your high
Shutting you out is mine.

A different dimension
A strengthening awake.
He realized
His life isn't at stake.
The betrayals are gone.
Someone to depend on.
Opening his eyes
Is no longer a pain,
No more lies
To darken the stain.
He found meaning in trust
Love has value
Not just lust.
His heart has healed
Lips not sealed,
Freedom of thought
No longer caught.
No more traps
No more falls
No more mishaps
No more walls.
Amidst the apparent paradise,
He feels a sting
Upon his hand.
The light diminishes
Everything's going bad.
Agony shooting through
As he looks down at the pool
Of blackish red, feeling blue.
Returning to the darkness
No more happiness.

Art
Deep in her hazel eyes,
There are truths and lies
Lies to cover the pain
Truths of a permanent stain.
She loves the summer shower
She loves the winter snow.
But she doesn't embrace them,
Just keeping to herself.
Striving to hide the tears
And block away the fears.
She has just one heart
Almost falling apart,
But there is a ray of hope
That keeps it together
Like beautiful art.
Spreading smiles
And going the extra mile,
Is how she keeps herself
From the ropes.
Someday,
She hopes
Through the sky she can glide.
Someday, she wonders
If she'll live a better life
Than the one she lives *inside.

Desperate to breakthrough,
Emotions all strewn,
A memory here
A memory there.
All a jagged puzzle
Scrambling around to
Put her pieces together.
Surrounded by the hustle and the bustle,
In a place nearly unrecognizable.
Vague flashbacks
Of a little her
A time to which she can go back never.
Blurry vision
Hazy thoughts
Suddenly she's  blinded
By the brightest light.
It appears like magic
Far from how her life wrote itself- tragic.
Something so assuring
A creature so alluring.
Wearing azure
With a heart so pure,
An angel with a halo.
But with herself so shallow
She turned her back
One of her insane imaginations
She thought.
She shrugged it off.
But she felt a divine touch
The beauty had enchanted her
High up in the air
She soared like a bird
No longer did she feel torn.
Alas! In a flash she was back
Back to the darkness,
Back where she used to hide
Where she felt so low.
But amazingly she broke free
From her chains
She didn't know why
She didn't know how.
All she remembered
Was the halo and the thoughts
So crystal clear.
And the touch that she felt
From *the mystery saviour.
