The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Trapped within



This prison cell



The mind is real



The body a shell



Breaking free



My only goal



Must find a way



To take control



Prying now



The bars won't bend



Waiting for my



Sentence to end



Begging now



I'm on my knees



But I'm the one



Who holds the keys



I must take them now



From my own hand



The time has come



To take a stand



These bricks are truths



in which I'm caught



Can I unlearn



What I've been taught



Our minds are filled



When we are small



With the limits that



Become our walls



The boundaries that stifle



Original thought



They're not inherent



They must be taught



So open you eyes



And turn the key



And from these boundaries



Your mind will be freed

Years gone now



And not a day goes by



That I don't sit



And wonder why



And wish I knew



What could have been



But I'll never hold



You again



You took my heart



When we first met



And took it with you



When you left



No one else



Could ever compare



To the love



I knew we shared



To love someone



And know its true



That they absolutely



Love you too



Such a gift



It was to know



That I can never



Let it go



I loved you then



And I love you still



And as days went by



I lost my will



And no matter who



I met I knew



I knew deep down



That they weren't you



I knew from the moment



We said hello



Until the day



I let you go



I try to remember



That fading spark



As I sit here alone now



In the dark



The light you shine



is gone from sight



Leaving only



the dark of night



And the cold that lives



outside the light



Envelopes you



it's grasp is tight



It serves to remind



your chilling bones



What it truly means



to be alone



And I wish I'd known



when we first met



that you would be



my one regret

Innocence lost



nothingness found



This heartbeat that once



did shake the gournd



Silent now



and whisper faint



Numbness now



becomes my saint



Salvation from feeling



as pain is lost



But pleasure clearly



becomes the cost



I cannot ignore



my silent heart



The echoes left



tear me apart



Echoes of greatness



crashing down



A breaking heart



makes awful sounds



The sounds of silence



ringing proud



From a place which once



did sing so loud



The place that said



that I love you



Now nothing more



than a vacant room



A room to which



I've lost the key



The key that said



that you loved me

Telling pink



flesh tone lines



Like a roadmap marked



With caution signs



Self-inflicted



Unrestricted



Symptoms of



A mind conflicted



A release of life



From a tortured past



But the peace she finds



Never lasts



Distracting scars



Of a different kind



To mask the ones



Upon her mind



The ones so deep



No one can see



She feels them in



Her memory



Ripping, tearing



Ever growing



She fears her weakness



Ever showing



She hides it with



Her sharpened blade



A tree to cast



The truth in shade



She carves the ones



Upon her wrist



To conceal the ones



That preexist

Mental Masochism







I do not inflict pain



Though i hurt myself



At least not where you can see



The knife upon my wrist



is a picture



The rope around my neck



is a song



The gun against my head



a passing thought



A dwelling memory



i cant escape



You can burn a picture



Turn off a song



But how do you



Silence a mind



The intangible within



And your most powerful weapon



Mental suicide



can I become someone else



With a diferent past



a diferent future



So when one day



my body dies



It will join me



on the other side
