3 A.M.

3 a.m.
Hanging by a limb.
Dying to swim.
The lights dim.
Firelight, bright, cracking in the night.
Pitch black, everything hidden from sight.
The mist crawls and creeps through the air.
Believing this shadows standing there.
Pushing myself towards a scare.
Do I dare?
Shut my eyes, this will go away.
The love of dark gone, wishing for day.
The light sometimes soothing in its own way.
But that's only temporarily.
Hands fumbling for the key.

Shifty Eyes

The man with the shifty eyes, Sitting in the corner, Hidden within the shadows, A strange, distant foreigner.

Cold In Every Way

Cold, cruel heart, Made of ice, Her cruelty, Would not suffice. Cold, cruel voice, Making you shiver, You can't control, Your terrified quiver.

A Twee Macabre

A twee macabre,. I carve and carve,. The silver kitchen knife,. Serrated edge,. A death wish pledge,. And, sure, I'll take your life,. A twee macabre,. I carve and carve,. Upon the cinder stone,.

Locked In

Trap me, consume me. Please let me go. I scream, I cry. But you've stooped so low. Your walls keep me in, I beg to be free, But for this room, Only you hold the key. Torture me, break me.

My death, inevitable, A small piece of me alive My soul in your soul My heart in your hand A death so helpless So pathetic and weak And you smile Comfort me My dead eyes there Still Watching Watching...

Everyone Believed Her

From the rippling surface of a sheath of water, the pool glistens with might and order. A voice as strong and booming as the heavens, erupts as a volcano which is no-longer dormant.
