i’m breaking as you break the glasses

on the floor by my feet

i’m shaking as you shake my mother’s ashes

i’ve fallen to my knees

it’s taken everything i’ve lived for

to not take everything from you

ill just lay in this bed, fear for the next morning with you

i wake up to the sound

of rain on the ground

i look all around

you can’t be found

i get up from our bed

the sheets a bloody mess

i wonder...

my life is untrue.

stirring and writhing.

choking and screaming.

bruises and cuts.

broken plates, bowls, cups.

dare i stare at a bright light,

shining inside, glistening off my skin.

dare i cusp my hands, interlock my fingers.

snatch the light and throw it on my face.

loudly smiling, i do.

smelling the crisp, strong spring air with closed eyes.

imagining the sweet floral scent of the flowers

heari...

My heart does thump

my skin does burn

When the shadow of a man stands

his presence adjourned

1 second he’s there

10 minutes he’s not

On the nights that the air

is stagnant and hot

Bending ‘round corners

lurking in hallways

These dreams of mine

They’re just a phase

A hint of a attention

I shouldn’t pay

To the being that haunts me before every day...

*Beep Beep Beep Beep*

No!

Not Again!

I need sleep, sleep, SLEEP!

Through slivers I see the hideous yellow.

Through shivers, I feel the cold hard floor.

*Beep Beep Beep Beep*

No!

Not Again!

I crave rest, rest, REST!

Through nauseating gurgles, I smell the roast beans

Through the antagonizing one-way glass, I see the dead reflection

*Beep Beep Beep Beep*

No!

Not Again!

I yearn f...

I woke up bright and early to the sun shining bright,

Adjusted my eyes to the harsh morning light.

It didn’t seem odd that I could suddenly see,

Nor was it strange that you were smiling at me.

We hopped into the old Mustang GT,

Took off down south Central with Seether blaring on repeat.

Probably The Gift, yes, that was our song,

I laughed so hard when you tried to sing along.

We drove for m...

Inside me are wounds, wrapped up by scars. Beauty’s skin deep, but my insides rage war. Please forgive me, for eating your blues. Even though the words I scream in hate, are true. You’re so pretty when I cry. But I don’t think you realize. There is no depth left in my soul. I needed your love to make me whole. I wear my heart upon my lips. Kiss me hard, taste my sick. Disease roams freely in my ve...

I can’t see you

I can’t hear you

I cant feel you

So I fear you...

Then it emerged.

It saved, then splurged.

It laughed, then cried.

Until finally, the chill died....

I’m falling

I start bawling.

I hit the ground

As my head feels a big pound.

Waking up with a jolt

I get up and lock the deadbolt.

But, I can’t escape

The man in the cape,

As I turn around

There he stands, dressed as a clown.

He grabs me roughly

And whisper’s gruffly,

“You’re still not awake?”

As I just shake....

My eyes flutter open

I feel giddy and warm

I’m glad I’ve awoken

At home in your arms

I sigh into your warm embrace

While my mind wanders yonder

I look back at your handsome face

Of which I could not be fonder

Once again my eyes flutter open

This time, however, I’ve truly awoken...
