Awoken abruptly
It burns my brain like acid
I dissolve, absolute fear
I would rather die than feel this
Indescribable terror
Non-escapable
This poem relates to my experience of growing up with a brother who has sleep terrors. The fear of waking up to someone screaming cannot be expressed in words. Absolute terror is awful and I hope none of you ever experience it.

I want to sink into myself
Deep into my veins
Be held by this warm blood
Turn myself inside out
And never see light again

And while I walk
Skin reverted
I will cross paths with
Faces of horror
And I will be happy
Because finally
I will know why
They elude me

SHATTER MY HEART AGAINST A WALL
THROW IT LIKE YOU WOULD A BALL
WATCH AS MY BLOOD DRIPS TO THE FLOOR
LOOK AS MY EYES TURN COLD
FOR LOVE IS A VICIOUS WAR
FILLED WITH BLOOD AND GORE
THE LIGHT IS GONE
NOW IN THE DARKNESS I GROW
YOUR CALLOUSED HANDS BREAKING MY BONES
STARE IN MY EYES
TAKE MY SOUL
YOU DIDNT CATCH ME IN MY FALL
AND HERE YOU SHALL WITHER AND GROW OLD
BECAUSE YOUR FAITHLESS LOVE
HAS MADE ME A RESIDENT

What lurks unknown in fearful fraughted towns
It flits in shadows watching silently
With dire eyes and looming eight feet tall
The birdman waits for you to walk alone
He slowly stalks his prey throughout the night
And never moves unless it’s back is turned
At first you’ll notice him just up the street
But by that time it will have been too late
You walk but when you turn around again
His owl-like face the last sight that you’ll see

i look at you and
my heart begins to flutter wildly
creating a certain heat inside of me, beneath my skin
my heart swells and swells
until it bursts, ripping my chest open and spraying my guts
against the surrounding walls in a thin layer of glittering entrails

a masterpiece of carnage and gore
practically glistening in the morning sunlight
so dazzling, i barely even notice the smell of my sizzling flesh
as the golden sun rays rain down on my ruptured organs,
transforming them into a puddle of bubbling crimson brew

my legs turn numb and i collapse to the floor
in a pile of bones and blood

oh how you make me MELT .
just for fun

Hear the call.
Let the darkness enwrap you, entrap you.
After all,
Lost in silence, empty defiance,
Is your soul.
Let it scream in the darkness.
Hear the call.
