Nobody warned me about the sound of skeleton laughter, ribcages shaking like bells, airless chuckles cracking hot night, slipping through closet slats into my skull. It was fine with just Meg: supermodel cheekbones, a jaw that could steal my name. We shared the closet, my jackets brushing her collarbone. your flesh prison can't wear that many anyway. Then came her sister, then another, until nine of them rattled teacups at 2 A.M., dripping through the floorboards. My shirts fled to the hall. I dream of a thunder that silences their bones. They call it a ****** of crows - but what waits in the dark, rattling its teeth for the last of you, is a plague of skeletons.

a plague of skeletons
You used to be my best friend, now its like i never existed. I used to be your best friend now its like you never existed. Thanks for the help dad i try not to be mad but knowing you choose drugs, Burglary living on the streets Over a relationship with me. makes me wonder why I'm not good enough.. You don't even have to give that up. Just wish you'd call and say what's up. Do you sleep peacefully? Is there any guilt or remorse when you think of me? do you even realize what you did to me when the personal creator who birthed me Tragically departed the earth early only two weeks after turning 18. You were nowhere to been seen searching for your teen. Her heart she let open bleed at that fateful scene. But if you're wondering, I'm alive and occupied, attempting to mend These shattered dreams of mine I don't despise. But I do wonder why I was a sweet young girl taking on a new lonely world. You'd be proud to know, i conquered it great with no supports and did what it takes to adapt and outlast. Forced to mature too fast i forgive as a daughter, but as a father i can never understand abandonment as your plan thus forfeiting being a man. Grieving you, but your not dead Your lost in your head. Eighteen - supposed to be when my life started.. But everything i loved, departed. Grieving a mother Wondering what happened to my father Its not fair to me, nor to the men i meet, that i want them to fill the emptiness that you could easily complete. I run when I feel love. I'm terrified to open up. For they may take it and run I will do me. You do you. Once i fully make peace with the truth I can be the me that was free and full of life before you disrupted my upbringing ------ Now I'm 28. I've processed the pain And I'm done playing   the waiting game. I no longer wish for you to care. To be there. I accept what is here. Ive had many nights Where I wasn't alright Flashbacks arrive The little girl wonders why. But, I did something different this time As I seen her in my brain I allowed the pain. Drop out of my mind And into my body. Experienced fully. Hyperventilating,   body convulsing Hardly breathing I finally let my body feel the pain I felt was real. I never allowed it. So I never healed. The inner child, She had to die So I can mature And start to raise my standards high. 1/3/26

I saw in the streets — dead people walking; (tiptoeing...) They’re not deceased, nor are they alive. I saw in the streets — that desperate hustle; (grinding...) They’re not hungry, nor are they satisfied. I saw in the streets — the filthy rich and the poor; (begging...) They’re not affluent, nor are they the ******* I watched, and wondered — am I one of them too? I saw in the streets — the appetite for more; (hungry...) They’re not content, nor are they dissatisfied. I saw in the streets — dead people walking; (tiptoeing...) They’re not deceased, nor are they alive. No one’s screaming, but I still hear the sirens — As they pick up the dead people walking.

Dead People Walking
"O, you who march toward hell, embrace death—it is your only chance to escape alive. Oh, you are oblivious to hope, beware—you stand on the brink of losing it forever. Oh, you lingering at the edges of oblivion, existence is no game of hide-and-seek—find yourselves before you vanish. You who arrive here know you are already among the departed. Calm your fears, for the worst has yet to come. O, you who weep for the past, dry your tears. The past was once the present, but the future… the future will never be."

Ode to the Lost Souls
The loud, hollow siren of the ship's horn jolted the sleepy, port town. She emerged out of the swirling mist like a star making a grand entrance. Only she wasn't a star but a ship that had been missing for the past hundred years...The Lost Ship of the Raving seas docks again after so many years after going extinct. I don't know how but mysteriously the ship appears out of thin air as the sea mist sets and gives to it a very dark and Gloomy hue other dark seas giving to you chills up your spine. As the Cool air sets in, a frostbite of cold winds in the air, the lost souls of a forbidden ship, dwells within, This ship has History, many years ago, of the dark high seas, and all of the lost souls. The Lost Ship of the Raving seas is the only thing that has happened to the Real Ones that have been taking out of this forsaken world. They may have perished, but their Lost Souls still inherit and dwell upon this Lost Ship!!! 🛳 Legends say: you can still here their screaming souls!!! B.R. Date: 5/14/2025

The Lost Ship of the Raving Seas
I. Glass & Ghosts Writing my name in a mirror of breath, watching it vanish like I was never here. Flesh remembers what time forgets, but the winter smiles— as if it knows something I don’t. II. Streets & Scars The city hums with untold stories, where fathers are echoes and lovers are lost in the fog. Blind footsteps, heavy with fate, scars rise like prayers in the wind. III. Fire & Falling Lungs filled with the weight of old wars, teeth clenched against regret’s bite. Stars don’t whisper, they scream. And some nights, I swear, they burn just for me. IV. Midnight & Memory The river carries reflections of ghosts, the moon is a silent witness. Some things break quietly. Some things burn forever.

Some things break quietly, some things burn forever.
Time drips slow like falling rain, upon a heart weighed down with pain. A thousand thoughts fill up my mind, but no place left for peace to find. By the sea, the wind still calls, whispering stories through hollow halls. Beneath the moon, beneath the sky, I watch the stars and wonder why. My soul is torn, yet still I smile, walking cold and lost for miles. The sun once warm, now barely light, shadows stretch into the night. I hold my breath, I close my eyes, feel the fire where silence lies. A single dream, a fleeting touch, a whispered hope, but never much. My hands still shake, my lips still burn, for memories that won’t return. The truth is heavy, life is loud, the past is just a drifting cloud. Yet in the dark, I still believe, that something waits, beyond the grieve. For even lost, we still remain— a whisper carved into the rain.

Echoes in the Rain
I can only imagine the pain you have All the signs and yet, Everyone was oblivious We pushed you so far away, That there was no time for mending Or goodbyes I’m sure the thought of suicide Has crossed your mind, More than a thousand times. So sickening to think… I tried so hard to help you In the many ways one could. I never judged you…from the bottom of my heart, I love you. I love a poor soul that is Frail, Hurt, Alone A soul that no Hospital could fix. A soul I watch grow, A soul that lost their way home So sickening to think… That we sleep peacefully at night Knowing you’re maybe fine, maybe safe So sickening to think… Your birthday passed, And no one blinked While I was thinking of you all day And hoped you got cake So sickening to think… I can’t sleep at night. Flashbacks of your face.

Lost Souls (Addict)
We are lost souls tired of trying tired of being alone. We are lost souls who want someone to save us and looking something ; someone to hold onto.

A DYING SOUL
"Excuse me officer, could you help me find my soul?" "She went out last night and didn't come back home."     We got into an argument before she left.     She felt in my body she could no longer rest.     So long I denied her the light she desired.     She grew weak and hungry, she was tired. "Excuse me officer, could you help me find my soul?" "She went out last night and didn't come back home."

Somewhere...
This one man gave her everything she needed He gave her laughter, comfort, strength, and piece of mind He is her knight in shining armor He makes her feel like a queen Even when she is low The sound of his voice raises her higher He is her light in the darkness He is her rock, her missing piece Her soul had found the one she has been looking for c.m.l.

Reunited
Far away is not far enough The red dust covers my feet I walk and leave prints But no one sees Far away and forgotten I float inches above the earth My brooding eyes look about Too many faces turn away Red is the earth and red is my heart I long for messages from afar The spirits of the land whisper And let me know that I am ok I turn my back on past and present Residing in this rocky place Where what happens happens Outside my being outside my space It is my home and I belong It gives me peace Where I sing my song

Shadows(A Dark Poem)
I will always be devout I will always take your word Guided by your shouts Anointed by your slurs I wear this crown of spoons So feed me til I'm hurt Stab a fork into my hands For sliding mine into dessert Praise be

CROWN OF SPOONS

Lost Souls
No one and nothing can bring me back from tipping over the edge. Everyday I fought a battle with every last ounce in me even though my whole body screamed at me not to and to give in and surrender. Someone has to win this war and I have a pretty good idea of who it is. Fighting with every atom of my being just to do a simple thing as living. We were all once happy children with big hearts but the devil came over to a selected few and stole our souls. My happy ending is near and though it might be a sad and wasted life I lead I want to die in peace and happiness. For the first time I am speaking for myself instead of through the misguided quotes of books and song lyrics. That's a good ending. To find your voice and then die.
