Once When The Night
Showed Me Kindness
And The Moon Was Blue

The Stars Sang Me Lullabies
And Their Light Led Me Home
Times Without Number.

Once When The Night
Was Merciful On Me
And The Moon Knew
My Secrets

I Stumbled Upon Night's Child
She Told Me Of Her Affairs
With My Forefathers Before Me

She Sang Me Lullabies
That Put My Soul At Ease

Once When I Was Young
My Skin Fair
And My Bones Were
Full Of Vigor

I Stumbled Upon
The Fair Child Of The Night.

I Vomited My Heart
On Her Arms
And On Her Bossoms
I Did Sleep

When I Woke,
I Had Lost My Heart
And She Was Gone.

Eternal Escape

When He/She is in pain
He/She tried not to write
With the grave thought
When
He/She turned gray
With the closed eyes
In the blur of night
Till the threshold
He/She bleeded words
That escaped as

T
E
A
R
S

And
T E A R S
Turned out
As an unapologetic beauty
A morbid sanity
Of eternal release

Genre: Dark Observational
Theme: When one is in pain, he/she just wishes to know, whose painkiller works || Touching Lives || A Call For Humanity
Note, hint, how to read: If you are gentlemale, just read he, and if you are lady, just read she.

Borderline

There's no song that even comes close-
To matching the sea of loathing inside,
I'm running, seething, not verbose-
Wearing baggy clothes to hide,

The scars that I can't afford to make-
I'm breaking behind paper walls so high,
Counting cars like falling stars-
Faking it all, "I'm just fine," I lie,

I'd love to rip my throat out-
With the hands that dug my grave,
I shrug, and slip away, in doubt-
Why can't I just behave?

Losing Yourself

Mistaken identity
Broken mind
Thoughts of the past
Flood to the head

Memories which were forgotten
Things you wish remained locked
Now rush past
Clouding your mind

Seeing what you went through
Fearing what you have become
Wondering where you truly are
Silently crying out in pain

Rushing to seek help
Yet none can be found
The fear you once knew
Now back with vengeance

Try your best to hide
Remaining stuck
In a never ending decent
Into a spiralling depression

You hold fasts to your chest
Trying to clench the pain away
But to no avail
It lingers there still

Scratching at your head
You try to breath
Hoping that it will not last
But the more you wish the more it sticks

You begin to crumble
Exposing yourself to those you shouldn’t
Hoping for them to love you as you are
And not what they want you to be

But rejection cuts deep
You look down and notice
Words of hate pouring out
From your open scars

Closing your eyes
You shake your head
Trying to dislodge the thoughts
That cling to your mind

You open your eyes again
To find that the words have turned red
There is an object on the floor
Sharp and coated in crimson

You realize in your delirium
You have wounded yourself
While trying desperately
To rid yourself of the pain

Puddle on the floor
Staining the carpet a crimson red
The blood which was once words
Flowing out in a rush

You stare
Not knowing what to do
You start to cry again
As the pain begins to lift

Slowly but surely the pain turns numb
You try to grasp your chest
But find your limbs are heavy
Your eyes begin to shut

You think in your mind
This is the end
You are finally free of the pain
But are you truly free

Too Much

You love her too much
I envy the power of it
She doesn’t know you
You don’t know me either
But I know you
And you feel like you do know her
Until yours become the only way
To end this agony
I want to love you too
Help me to end my own agony
But its too much
Too deep and hurt
But when will we meet each other
When we’re too busy
Catching the heart that doesn’t want to be reached

~SAD, LITTLE GIRL~

I'm lost and alone,
no one to lean on;
I've no place to go,
no where I belong.
~
Since I was a child,
my failures began;
No one gave me comfort,
no one lent a hand.
~
Why was it so hard,
for them to be kind;
I don't have the answers,
they've eluded my mind.
~
In my little world,
my retreat still remains;
I dare not come out,
I can't stand the pain.
~
I once made a promise,
I've kept to this day;
I'd stay here forever,
within lies no shame.
~
No harm can befall me,
I sleep safe and sound;
My heart ne'er again,
will e'er hit the ground.
~
Life without agony,
the sound is so sweet;
I sing this each morning,
I sing this for me.

The Animal

Watch the blood
Pour down wrists
Turn and laugh
Because I know
I'm worthless

Steal my joy
Make misery
Seep and pour
Because I know
That's all I'm
Good for

Hold me down
Miss my cries
Put words to me
Because I know
I'm not worth
Anyone's time

Hope?

I love your idea of success
How you want to sing
But you can never get on that stage
You will never be your best
Because your best
Is the same as all the rest

Life, an irony

I tried not to let go,
But she slipped through my hands.
I didn't realize I was against the flow,
Unable to adjust to the shifting sands.
Now, I sit in this emptiness longing to see her again.
I miss her presence,
Like the barren land misses the summer rain.
I want to drench in her essence
And feel alive.
She has been drained out of me.
I regret going against the tide.
There was so much that I wanted to see.
Adventures I wanted to share,
Of deserts, mountains, and the sea.
Tell her that I care
And know if she cared about me.

Oh Life, I miss you!
I realize as I sit here in my agony.
I am sorry for all I made you go through.
It is such an irony!

Because as a kid, all I wanted to do was grow up.
I could not value you when I had you.
Now, you have left and I miss you.

Oh life, I miss you in my agony.
I am smiling in my sadness,
It is such an irony!

Every Tear

With each that falls,
I relive an old pain,
I feel a new sorrow.
The same suffering,
A different agony.
An endless loop,
A momentary relief.
