InadequateFalling from faceless faith
So easily...
Shooting stars fall from space,
Joining heaven and earth as one...
Separating space and time.

Too afraid to swim,
I will wait here in the shallows;
Hiding my face within darkness
Until I forget what it's like,
Can't see myself anymore...

I've faded too far...

Nothing is ever good enough,
No matter how hard I try.
It is all disgusting
And ugly...

Full of hatred and putrid violence,
The demon has arisen,
And she is angry...
Nothing but wrath and fear.

Incapable of understanding
What it means to be alive,
Or human.

It's not enough to even say
That I want to be free...
Trapped forever
Beneath this gl

TaintedEven rainbows...
Start with
Red.

Oh sacred one,
Blood of my blood,
She is my heart...

It takes one from none,
That which you said to me;
What I had
Is gone...

It breaks apart,
Pouring into itself
Like bittersmooth glass...

A painful thing,
Dagger through my heart;
Tainting me,
Right down to
My bloodstained soul...

A thousand curses
And they tear right through,
But it still won't bring me back
To you...

Forsaken

Cursed...
Loathed. Despised. Hated.
Forsaken. Betrayed.
Annihilated. Done for.
I'm doomed.

Thought I was finally happy,
Only to realize
That I was just blissfully unaware...
Of the darkness that lurks around every corner.

It's the kind of thing
That shatters a person...
Completely.

Washing away my tears,
Fading into the cold, wicked night...
Lost to the dark side of the abyss;
We are one and the same.

It is this version of sameness,
This one single consciousness
That is scattered into so many pieces
Throughout the universe...

Patterns take shape,
Woven from the very fabric of the cosmos,
Ensnaring each of us...

Holding me prison

Chemical RainAcid droplets coat the inside of your bitter heart,
Twisting and turning, all the while burning
Down to your last ounce of regret...

But it's too late to turn back the hands of fate,
Wishing all of the dreams- so many nightmares-
Would fade away into oblivion;
Lost forever...

It evaporates and fills my lungs,
Leaving a dismal, bitter scar...

As it sinks into me, burning away at my heart,
Within the dying embers I see nothing but pain...
Precarious glow; tearing at the depths of my soul...

Unable to ever quench my insatiable thirst,
As the tides roll down my cheeks
Falling away from all the sorrows I've ever known;
A dream within a dream..

I DieI am much too far gone
For polite conversation and pleasantries…

I do not deserve anything pleasant,
Only more of the bitter truth
Like knives in my heart…

Lost beneath the same sky,
So long as we both exist
Somewhere within this dying world,
I will always be here for you.

I never want to leave your side…

Can you feel it as my heart breaks,
Every time you push me away?

All of the pieces of my shattered soul
Are drawn like magnets,
That much deeper into you…

Never tell me…
I don't know exactly…
What it's like…
To die inside…
Every second I am here without you…

I die.

Scars InsideI wish that I were covered in scars…
At least that way,
The outside would match the inside.

Finally and forever…
That is what I see when I look into your eyes.
I cannot see your soul,
It's been sealed away.

There is no longer any way
To save the you that I once knew,
You are lost.

There you are again…
Like a great deluge in my heart,
The blood drenched waters
Are far too deep for me to ever escape.

And I cannot see…
And I cannot feel…

With a flutter of wings like paper,
You've set my soul on fire
Killing me slowly…
I am your prey.

Feeling through your eyes
Beneath an artificial moon
In an i

Journey Into DeathFrom within graves that have been dug so far down,
They will never surface from deep within the gloom…
Rainbows bleed into my heart.

And all the bitter hearts
Went waltzing around the moon,
All alone inside their hollow shells;
We have all died
And are now left here to decay.

I can see the hidden truth within your eyes,
When all of this ends,
You will be my demise.

Sacred bloody omen that I despise…
How many times must you kill me
Just to prove your own worth?
We do not belong in this fathomless world, so cruel.

How can you stand to be so cold?
You've made me feel so alive…
And it's against my will…

Poison ArrowIt's like sending
An invisible heart,
Poison arrow
Straight to you,
My dear one…

We are indivisible,
Inseparable;
Continuously moving
Alongside one another,
And ever since that night…

Graveyard where you
Buried my heart
In it's final resting place,
Right beside yours
Where it shall stay.

For the first time
In my entire life,
I am alive.
Though this world
Is dead…

A land of death
And sweet mercy
Calls to me
From beyond a dream,
And you're no longer there.

Dance With MeSo many glasses on the shelf,
Sitting there, pristine and perfect;
Just the way you've positioned them.

They are poison…
I cannot touch them.
You've trapped me like a butterfly
Beneath your cold glass shield.

And I waltzed right into it,
Like a moth to a flame.

Nothing in this world is truly perfect.
Nothing…

Just as what I am to you,
I will destroy all of it
As you've often wished to do.

As the lights die all around us,
We slowly come to life
And I know I want only one thing;
I want to dance with you.

Beneath this cloak
Of midnight darkness…

So easy to get lost
In the light in your eyes,
It's the only li

DismalA dismal abyss…

Blood-curdling screams so shrill,
They cry out in the night
Longing for anyone at all
Who might be able to hear them.

Come set me free…

You want to save me from it
Yet unwilling to go out of your way,
So strip me bare
Right down to the bone.

Just like you…

Beneath the underneath
There is nothing there,
It's all just barren
So desolate and empty…

I am just a shell…

An empty kind of numbness,
As I am falling farther,
Away from this reality
You could never compete with a dream.

Keep dreaming of me…

Taking all of it away,
I feel so guilty,
And all I want to do
Is sleep forever

OverTell me,
Are you lonely…?
Lost within such a Labyrinthine heart,
Ruling from somewhere up so high,
Glaring down at me with those eyes…

There you stand,
All alone,
So opaque and obscure…

With all the little pieces of us,
Twinkling in the distance,
Cannot fill the spaces between
Those that separate our hearts.

And I can't even say your name,
I wish I could just tell you…
Someday I will find the strength
To say these words to you…

Playing dead,
What are you really playing at?

GazeTriple-fold guilt,
Closing in all around me,
It is clinging
To something;
Someone else.

Midnight colored drones,
They haunt me;
They stare…

In this place
Where fallen dreams decay,
And stars have no place
In the night sky…

The moon follows us
Through the trees,
Singing softly
Into your soul
Beneath all of the chains.

Coffin nails
Dig into my feet,
Baring my soul
To your cannibal gaze.

Cards and StarsStruggling with practiced ease,
Through the blood red stains
I carry on…

I guess it's just not in the cards
Our love's not written in the stars,
But a house of cards will always fall
Stars don't know how to write at all.

And all of the twinkling, glittering stars…
Show through your skin,
And all your scars
Right to your very heart.

So let us dance for just one night...

'Til all the cards and stars just fall away.

StaticStatic addiction
Like a paper white trail
Leering and yearning
Uselessly in this…
Fitful state,
All of it is…
In my mind.

Always hated me
As I must go on wishing
Things were different,
None of it
Was ever even real,
Was it?

Just a dream,
Flicker of my thoughts
Across a screen
Staring into
A deep coma
And I cannot awaken.

Frigid crystals
Burning white hot
Deep inside these wounds
But it's not good enough
To suture them together…
It never will be.

Here in our escape
Hidden place
Within fragile walls
Where we can be
Safe at last,
Mortal things
No longer matter.

And as it falls,
I am falling…

Turning BackCarrying this
Heavy burden like a
Steel pen in my pocket,
All shined up and
It looks like…

Gun metal.

An ancient black,
Mysterious and vile.

So many mistakes
Made a thousand times over,
While we stumble, lost,
Trying our whole lives to undo…

The misery…

Lost inside this dream
That's become so real to me,
Like it was real to you once.

You've taken my hand,
Shown me how
To regret…

No way out,
I'm trapped here alone
In this box
Hidden on a shelf
So far away from you…

Where I need to be
I no longer know.

It's all been destroyed
So very real…
And so very true to me,
I always seem to find

PreyI've seen that look before,
You look like a predator…

Please…
Prey on me…

Every night I drink you in,
And you kill a new part of me,
But it's not violent,
A certain sweetness in your eyes,
While you kill me tenderly…

Frozen within tears of glass,
As I kill every last emotion…

It will always fade away,
Even though you never will…

Confessions ofa Lovesick HeartI have one chance to tell the truth,
And I will do that now.

Every day,
I wake up,
And you are the first person,
I think about.

Every night,
I cuddle my plushies,
And wish they were you.

It's not because I'm lonely,
I'm just fine with being alone,
Actually, I like it,
I've never needed anyone before.

Yet somehow,
I know that I need you,
You just don't know how much.

So that is why…

Your face is the last one I see,
Before I go to sleep each night.

You are the only one,
I want to be with,
In any way at all.

If I could,
I would eat, sleep, and breathe you.

You are the reason I wake up each day,
The reason I smile mo

ParalyzedIf I let you lead me,
Go where you want me to,
I have no way of knowing,
If I'll see you again.

Welcome to my nightmares,
Where I lie forever,
Suspended in sadness,
Eternal darkness,
My light faded a long time ago…

I will never let go,
No matter how much,
The water drags me down,
Currents carrying me away.

Feels like I'm falling,
Dripping wet with crystalline tears,
It will never really be over,
I feel like I can't hold on…

Only when I see your face,
Does the flame dance within me,
Just one more time…
Can it burn so warm,
That it will dry me off?

You've left me here shivering,
Seething hatred from deep wi

One WayI have to find a way
To escape this darkness...
Before it kills me…

Every time I think about it,
I get knots in my stomach;
They never really go away,
Only seem to ease slightly.

I would rather die
Than not be able to express myself,
Because my reality is bleak,
And it makes me want to die...
All the time.

I stopped seeing things
In forms of light and darkness,
Of sunshine and shadows,
A long time ago.

Everything is shaded now;
Coated with a fine gray dust,
And I am locked away.
Is there no one who can reach me?

Soon I'm afraid it will be too late.

Tempt MeWhy do you always have to tempt me?

With your words;
Sweet as sugar, but just as dry.

With your lips;
Soft as poison, but just as deadly.

With your eyes;
Clear as crystal, but just as transparent.

With your heart;
Pure as blood, but just as vulnerable.

Every time I look at you,
I see something different,
There is so much beauty within you,
I'd give anything for just one taste…

Why do you always have to tempt me?

The way you smile;
Like no one else is there, even though I am.

The way you look at me;
Like I'm beautiful, even though I'm ugly.

The way you haunt me;
Like you're a ghost, even though you're real.

The way you

Lately I've done this thing...
It's called growing up,
But it's like part of me has died.
Finding myself...
Not gone, but still alive somehow,
Clinging desperately to life.

Now you get to walk away
With a clear conscience,
While I must be forever reminded;
Little red trails across my skin...

And I can feel it falling,
Always escaping my grasp...
Raindrops all around me,
Dancing in the limelight
For one last time...

Long forgotten memories flare to life;
Revolving door becomes my tourniquet,
As all that I am
Is transferred into energy,
Joining with the great abyss...

Our spirits flicker and entwine,
Glowering with menacing ferocity,
Killing me over and over;
I shall die a thousand morbid deaths
And still your soul will haunt mine...

Why can't I just let go?
My hand's on the trigger
And suddenly I'm squeezing...
Mirrored glass falls to floor
And now I'm screaming...
How did you become so numb?

Demons haunt my every waking hour,
Lost in a glossy haze...
Even dreams give no release
From the bright white light,
That turns all who touch it into darkness.

This sucks... I haven't felt like writing poetry for a long while... I might be getting a little rusty. Or building up.

Anyway, I hope someone out there likes it...
Maybe...
