Drowning The blue water sucking me down I couldn't help but pull a frown. Kicking the water desperate for air. This is can't be the end it's not fair. Down to the bottom I go.
#taleofterror Sparks of ice shoot up the spine, Heart begins to race, eyes darting, Mind alert and clockwork pulse, Escape intent, but no route knowing.
I am the Déjà Vu you feel on entering a room, I am the chill upon your spine on sunny afternoons, You feel me when you say "Someone just walked across my grave!" And I'm the razor blade that cuts you...
#nightdwellers Shadows play upon the wall, Clockwork hands control the fall, Starlit realm across the hall, Hidden from the minds of all.
#nightdwellers #emotion #terror. Footsteps, shadows, rapid pace,. Darting eyes on pale face,. Paranoid, erratic mind,. Otherworldly, nether bind,. Legs of lead and hands of ice,.
*be warned, this may offend (Jewish people especially) although I do think this way I am not meaning to upset, so sorry if I do.
Nails scratching at the back of your mind. Ripping yourself away. Scratching at the back of your eyes, Until your blind. Blood running through your veins. Heart beating in your chest.
Calm in solitude, Dreams of dark. Foreboding light, Breaks day from night, cuts me open, Leaves its mark. Stillness ruptured, Vessels overturned, Our bow is battered, exposed, in tatters.
#nightdwellers As I walk through the valley, in the shadow of death I close my eyes and hold my breath What has happened to the world into which I was born.
Looking in the mirror , shes staring back at me. I dont know who she is , this monster that can see . A wicked cunning smile, Her eyes so full of pain .
#household I creep in upon the darkened night Dance in glory with descending light Through your window on moonbeams I slip To make you mine in icy grip Like a coiled snake at night I strike I'll...
Where darkness thrives and beauty dies,. Bring the bodies to say your last goodbyes,. A sadness, deep, perfection lost,. Many precious lives have not been without cost,.
Nothingness,. Embrace the mind,. Wall against,. The all new find,. Trapped within,. A movie screen,. Knives and headphones,. Block the scream,. Eyeless faces,. Suits in black,. Scarlet cross,.
Can catch it from the shadows,. Can catch it from the air,. Can catch it from a silver strand of some old lady's hair,. Can catch it just from breathing,. Can catch it with one breath,.
He woke up feeling queazy, he woke up feeling strange. He felt somewhat uneasy, he could feel some kind of change. Where was this he'd awoken, because he wasn't in his bed.
Can you hear it?.... Can you hear that sound.
We gather tonight, you and me, In Earths darkest hour, All helpless, kneeling before, A terrible unyeilding power, We grasp at straws, with both hands, But our grip on life is weak, We turn around,...

#nightdwellers These black tracks down my cheeks, remnant healing scars of some other race. A rotten, unfruitful disregard of faith.
#nightdwellers There is a man with a million jars. Stacked on shelves as high as the stars. Some contain happiness, filled with hope. Others are depressing, sealed with rope.
I'm going off at the deep end. Falling without any wings. Powerless to turn this tide. A peasant in face of kings. I can't change my fate at all. It's been taken from my hands.
The night will soon be upon me, like an imposing, unwelcome guest. I hate nothing more than sleeping alone, so again the night brings a test.
I'm not here to impress I am only here to express. If this causes you distress. I do not mean to depress. Emotions i long possess.
The night is a disease, It's inky black fingers caging everything in sight, Immersing the world in it's murky depths.
