Paint splatters engulf the walls
It begins to drip onto the carpet, I should have put down newspaper
A mangled mass of brushes, photographs, paint tubes on the floor
The music is pounding from the corner of the room
I can't seem to get the lines just right- keep working
Poetic utterances seep onto the canvas
Darker, darker, and darker still
It's changed so much in a year
Expression is my outlet
Fear, joy, pain, anger, sorrow, fluttering glimpses of the future
Crazed torment bleeds into the bleak whiteness
No longer white, but covered with poisoned memories
Fleeting remembrances of past events end up on the surface
My head is pounding with the thrust of emotion
A sorrowful, pained image emerges on the bumpy terrain of the canvas
Darkness overcomes the pallor that was once there
Joy overcomes me, and anger overwhelms me
Superficial scars in the form of art
i'm powerless, take me
disregard my screams of torment
quartered, torn
i'm a broken little girl
there's nothing left
i'll never be the same
so take me
get it over with
all of you just pull the chains a little tighter
bind me to you
steal my breath
stomp my heart
leave nothing, no remains
i am your puppet
i am your toy
leave nothing but dust, if dust at all
just take me, take me, for i have no power
a happiness of heart
or is it just a chemical imbalance
wretched mind-altering state
is it due to a fear of being alone
does it exist at all
my soul pours onto the floor
it soaks deep into the carpet
at a loss for words
an escape from reality
blood splatters across the walls
bloody fingerprints dragged across
abandoned from the world
a separation of mind and body
lust plunges into a dark abyss
body is nothing, a shell
spirit is lost, self is lost
living for someone else
have i lost myself for another
is love really worth it
i am satisfied.
tree aflame
lust is the driving force
pulsating light
pulse stopping
live to kill another day
no fear
the chill of night vanished
silky breeze sweeps overhead
a faint rustling of decaying leaves
fading to dusk
loss is all there is
run away little rabbit
small child with nowhere to go
find fear again
know death and become its friend
such pure intentions within criminal acts
overload
Shadow engulfs her innocent soul
pleasure seeps into her pores
a cloak of darkness surrounds her
the face to face does not startle her
the pale gleaming eyes penetrate her own
a sudden loss of consciousness?
the light is gone
all has gone black
an agony against her throat
warm fluid pouring out
white dress stained red
her wish finally realised
she is no longer
help me find peace
don't let her get me
a scared little girl is all i am
a confused little insect
take me into your dark embrace
leave me all alone
where i belong, not amongst you
your presence overwhelms me
i don't want to be afraid
i want to know what i want
three who want me
why would anyone
they want to take me
they want to ravage me
i should let them
take me from this false consciousness
wandering is in my nature
but wander i do not
i stray away from what is right
but there is no joy in it
i speak only truth
my mind rambles on
my imagination runs away
i am left with empty dreams
i'm not worth my own fearful mumbles
i can't escape the overwhelming dread
nothing can work out
the end is near
i cannot hold anyone close
i'll lose them all
the scars resurface
the sadness returns
long forgotten memories come rushing back
no, this is different
no longer me
everything i strived for is lost
love is not an option
i don't know what to do now that i'm gone
regret haunts me
my new guilt is undying
not new, but underlying in every thought
a life based on regrets is no way to live
live life to the fullest, that doesn't work
all you're left with is fear and doubt
no one wants to keep me, throw me away
then you say you want me back
your new love has no love for you
she wants me too
a new love for an old love
a flame everlasting
a fire that cannot be put out
but it is forbidden nonetheless
i can't keep you
i can't keep her
i can't keep myself going like this
a disasterous fate
a lifelong insanity
yes, that's what it is
i'm crazy, simple as that
none of this is real
it's all one big nightmare
a nightmare called hideous existence
Tear my heart to pieces
my body to even more
let me fade to nothing
let every childhood fear turn to dust
free my mind
let my soul find rest
too many directions i am torn in
i smack my head against the wall
in hopes that the pain will last
tear me open, make me bleed
open the path to salvation
but does one even exist
she said that she said
does anything ever last
let me find peace, but there is none
body count rising
sweat dripping slowly from my brow
just keep walking
there is no stopping now
it needed to be done
but there need to be more
alone at sunset, i drift in and out feely
savage midnights
blood splatters covering me
no one notices
i smile faintly as another life is taken
another night's work: done
No one's there
where once were friends, i now look away
alone, desolate, deserted in the darkness
fun is unknown, i do not understand it
the drudgery of life is what there is
i am here to pick up the pieces
of everyone's falls
walking along with my dustpan and broom
oh how i would take that broom and fly into the starry night
but i have to be here
to take care of everyone
to make sure they don't screw up
i am responsible for everyone's reputation
a slipup, and it's on me
praise goes to them
i am just a worker
behind the scenes, my home
no retribution for the silent little girl
only silence, fear, and a dustpan
sad words, thrown together
a strand of characters
meaningless voices
hushed whispers
resonating booms
words, nothing more
gliding through a moonlit night
floating over weathered markers
asleep in a statue's arms
shining down, the moon finds the truth
glaring upon you from above
lost forever
soulless animated corpse is all that's left
unholy beast wandering the darkness
shadow is your escape
cold night wind encircling your twisted form
no longer human
disfigured
hated
hunted
frigid dusk around you
night encircling you
a rush of emotions pouring in
the last glimpse of daylight
the romance of the last breath is gone
body in decay
soul in limbo
mind in the eternal state of twilight
loss of innocence, consuming
loss of self, irreversible
loss. . .
Free I fly
Disaster sure to follow
Up over the trees and buildings
To find myself I fly
To escape the bound life I now leave behind
Visions of sugar-plums and slithering snakes
Crawling into my body, flying out of it
Twisting round the trees and bricks
Winding my way down the corridors and holes
Failed attempts to fly will never teach me
Away I go to find what I need
Music pounding in my head
My eyes are closed yet away I go
Arms out, wide open
Dropping down then up I go
I find it hard to be myself
But myself is all I know
These other people around me don’t know
Just clones of each other
This girl beside me looks like me
She talks like me, she sings like me
She can’t be me
This boy beside me thinks like me
Likes the same things as me
Imagines a better world like me
But he can never be me
As I drift past these replicas I think to myself
How am I so like them yet so not
Or is it they are like me
That I am the original and they are my children
Let me be your monster baby
Ride along side me
Or maybe just ride me
My darkness consumes you
My graveyard mannerisms intrigue you
Let my fire light your way
Torch burns bright in the middle of the night
Undead lover, be mine
Moonlit romance
Sinister visions invade
Mid-night rendezvous again takes my mind
All Hallow’s frozen memories linger still
Let me be your monster baby
And you can be my comatose queen
Take away the mental and give me physical
pain is what i'm searching for
my psychological anguish is too much to bear
the blade looks ever happier
rusty with a subtle glimmer
tears streaming down my face
nothing's gone right
downhill, the downward spiral
everything's driven me to this
pulled across my milky-white arm
lashes of metal
on and on i go
i- who is that?
insignificant little worm
quiet little girl alone with a dustpan and broom
everyone dependent upon me
to clean up their mistakes and take the blame
there's no reason to continue this
FUCK
closer to my naked wrist
the shining blade gains intensity
eyes open wide then close in ecstasy
slide it up and down
free me from this torment
make me bleed
a crimson pool collects beneath me
the deed is done
the fluid streams out
my tongue laps against my wounds
the blood is the life
do i really want to keep this up?
the blood is the life
i fade
