I wish tears

Would fall but

I feel nothing at all

There’s this dull ache

Inside that doesn’t go away

Wake up, get ready, eat,

Go to school, get home,

Finish my homework, eat,

Study, shower, sleep, repeat

Over and over, weekend comes

And goes but I never did seem

To get enough sleep

The constant questioning if

I’m okay finally stopped from

All but my parents, everyone

Else believed th...

Fists on the wall, blood on the victim.

Bruises on my skin, open wounds.

Shining light, crimson trickling.

Thought you were my life.

Proving you wrong like;

“Now taste my knife.”

Metal down your throat,

Laughing at the irony.

Love the way you croak;

“I still love you.”

Grabbing the guns, cocking.

Watching this exorcise.

Souls start screaming,

Ain’t no compromise.

Watching the tick and the turn...

Upon dawns break,

A silent pulse begins to thrum,

The air itself is charged

With an indescribable energy

Pulsating between us,

Drawing me closer to you with

An irresistible magnetism....

nothing at all

even miss our midnight call

for I need rest in my everlasting relaxation

and you prohibit that

you constantly take and take

until I’m empty

nothing left

yet you hide me from the rest

I thought this was love but why do you do that?

pretend I’m just a girl

not someone you bound your every sinful thought to

for I read minds

even your bad intentions yet I didn’t see the signs

for I ca...

Darkness scratches at my door.

Demons lurk beneath the surface.

The floor churns and creaks.

Black here and there.

Fire burns and wounds drip.

Small emotions leak.

Drowning Joy.

Killing Freedom.

Stabbing Happiness.

Choking Laughter.

Strangling Smiles.

Now they lay beneath the soil.

Joy, Freedom, Happiness.

Laughter and Smiles.

How I miss them…

Just out of my reach.

I can almost touch-

Yet dark...

A tear runs down

Her prepped up face,

She lifts her gown

And shifts in place.

No person here

Seems to see

The man that follows

Her closely.

He wears a ring

Much like her own

But his is tainted

From blood and bone.

He takes her hand

And squeezes tight

“My darling put on

A show tonight.”...

At first, you convince yourself otherwise, caught in a delicate dance of self-deception. You smile at everyone, hoping that they smile back, but they never do.

Calling people by their names becomes a desperate attempt to forge bonds, but that borrowed warmth fades along with your forced smile. You walk with your head down, your ears covered, attempting to hide yourself from sights and sounds, to ...

I began by losing interest in the things

that used to bring me joy,

the people who used to light up my world now

just reminded me how dark it is.

I slowly lost all hope that I have for myself,

and the scary thoughts crept into my head.

What would it be like if I wasn’t here anymore?

I ask myself every night while I

slice open my skin,

hoping the external pain takes away from all

the pa...

“Why won’t you play with me anymore? We used to love playing together. What happened?” The little boy asked, tears shining in his eyes.

The girl shrugged, turning to look out the window to hide the wetness of her eyes. “I grew up, buds,” she whispered, tracing a raindrop as it fell down the window. “I grew up.”...
