How can I sleep
with all my nightmares
tucked securely under my pillow?
everyone is so different
that we fear one another
and never try to level
never even try to understand
why we feel this consuming fear in the first place
we want to conquer
we want the best for us,
no change, we might lose it all
better ourselves as we weaken the others
vicious, pitiful, disgusting, and so easily swayed
we are all weak,
we all fall
sooner or later, it will catch up
it will destroy us
and take our whole
twisting it further into disgrace
these nightmares
will be released into the world
and turn it against us
as we all are cast into insanity
when we don’t know ourselves
we break the mirrors
and we break each other
when finally all is at peace.
these nightmares
(double acrostic)
When the spark starts,
Ill conceived plans rise,
Letting all the flames grow.
Dead things will feed the heat.
Fire spreads through all souls.
I am consumed as well.
Ready to spread the chaos.
Engulfing all that stands.
(double acrostic)
Smile with malice.
Harbor something wrong,
And attempt to hold it back.
Drowning in the picture,
Of all your dreams come true.
Where all will disappear,
Ever leaving you be where
Disintegrated hearts have fallen,
Give them what they deserve,
Rejoice in their begging.
Irony filling their minds.
Never thinking you to be evil.
Staring.
But I don’t see.
Speaking
But I make no sound.
Holding on
But you’re slipping away
I’m losing you
as i fall away into shadow
You lose nothing.
I’m only the shadow
Staggering after you.
The sun fades away as do I
You’re all alone.
And I am gone.
I can’t find you,
You can’t reach me.
The sun never returned.
The darkness in our life
Separates us,
And holds me hostage
I waited in my cold prison,
For much too long.
You are not my savoir.
