Innocence
Innocence is Always Temporary
Innocence is the lack of knowledge and the abundance of Naivety.
Innocence only comes to those who are sheltered enough to receive it
Innocence is meant to be ended
Innocence is the counterpart of Ignorance
Innocence thinks the best and is usually wrong
Innocence is always trusting, knowledge is always watching
Innocence is a virginity that must be lost to mature
Innocence is always hoping and always hurting
Innocence is wonderful and...

Razorblades & Retaliation
Razorblades covered in blood, smeared with my afflictions,
AND
Retaliation in response to our contradicting convictions,
Razorblades slicing wrists for morbid release cannot be erased,
AND
Retaliation against rules for wasted time that cannot be replaced,
Razorblades and their edges cut smooth and piercingly deep,
AND
Retaliation for the poison of shame that into my heart seeps,
Razorblades carve HELL into arms, upside crosses into purple scars,
AND
Retaliation against future...

Silent Screams
Silent screams fill the air you can hear them if you care.
But most do not, so to them the screams aren’t there.
I hear them most every night, brutally loud and clear
Alas silent screams are not heard by those in no pain
Silent screams like ghosts drift through the sky
Watching the ground below as they wave goodbye
In apartment 955 a girl holds a gun loose in her hand
Shaking and crying no one really understands.
In 955 at 10:00 the gun goes off her broken heart never mended
A pain in my chest for the...

Delusional Bliss
Ashley sat and drew away,
Empty thoughts consume her day,
Memories of family now destroyed,
Defense mechanisms she now employs.
Drawing figures with big smiles,
As old used crayons form abandoned piles,
She draws castles and pretty princesses,
These vivid images make up for realities differences.
She cries softly but no one hears,
It’s been that way for several years,
Since her life ended inside
Her hopefulness has been denied.
Now she sits and tries...

One Last
One Last hope,
Slowly faded away
One Last hand
Closed into a fist
One Last dream
Crushed into pieces
One Last desire
Completely depleted
One Last love
Brutally stolen
One Last lament
Quickly silenced
One Last promise
Forever un-kept
One Last portal
Slammed shut
One Last boy
Lost and alone
One Last breath
Till Eternal Damnation.

Winter
Winter comes and casts a cheerless mood,
Hopes are dead, so is everything in the wood.
Winter’s breath comes like a death sentence,
Chilling winds lead to bleak and mourning acceptance
As weeks go by, depression sets in,
Frozen countryside, slow death now begin,
Broken dreams appear, within the waters
Empty thoughts, breed emotional slaughter
Reminiscing about lost loves on ice,
Dreaming of summer days, so warm and nice,
Cold times are ahead, and my heart is chilled,
Sitting...

To My Razor (My Newest Love)
Late at night, chills run down my spine,
All alone in my bed, my little prison,
The heartbreak is there, so is my willingness,
I’m lost in so many things tonight.
I sit almost in tears and cannot cope,
I want to escape to release everything,
Nothing works except for something I haven’t tried.
The thought occurs, and then it is applied.
Cut slowly, savor the feeling,
Not deep enough; let her in me again,
“There.” I say sickly, and blood leaks out,
I feel intense pleasure all over....

Love Song to My Razor
The razor’s seducing, she calls to me tonight,
Her sweet sharp blade beckons me.
She says: “One Cut Is All You’ll Need,”
She says: “Come on, You Know You Want To Bleed.”
She’s so pretty, so flawlessly made,
Feel her brush up against my skin,
Feel a shiver of ecstasy down my spine,
Blood gushing, bleeding is sublime.
It’s so tempting to indulge in her,
To make love with wrist and razor.
To feel her cut me, and make me bleed,
Oh such pain is exactly what I need.
She’s...
Her sweet sharp blade beckons me.
She says: “One Cut Is All You’ll Need,”
She says: “Come on, You Know You Want To Bleed.”
She’s so pretty, so flawlessly made,
Feel her brush up against my skin,
Feel a shiver of ecstasy down my spine,
Blood gushing, bleeding is sublime.
It’s so tempting to indulge in her,
To make love with wrist and razor.

Catharsis
I cannot say what I feel, I cannot cry,
I cannot leave, nor say goodbye,
I am tied down, I will never fly.
I cannot reminisce, nor remember bliss,
I cannot stop, poison was in my first kiss,
I am a loser, I cannot even count the things I miss.
I cannot win, nor can I stay,
I cannot run, I cannot hide today,
I am lost in myself, I go my own way.
I cannot live like this, so aimless and lost,
I cannot continue, there’s too great a cost,
I am frigid, I feel emotional winter’s biting frost.
I cannot sing, not one solemn hymn,...
I cannot leave, nor say goodbye,
I am tied down, I will never fly.
I cannot reminisce, nor remember bliss,
I cannot stop, poison was in my first kiss,

States of Oblivion
Running quickly, cannot stop,
Slipping through the darkness, so distraught,
Emptiness is present, the darkness is illuminated,
The scarring begins, and has no end.
Sinking slowly, totally immobile,
Paralyzed quickly, enduring images,
The nightmare takes over, it is reality,
I sink below the surface, into a world of oblivion
Sliding, sliding, never stopping,
The slope increasing, my heart pounding,
Digging my nails in, trying to stop,
Nails screeching then ripping off.
Laying still and sleeping long,
Bleeding slow and...

Secrets
Secrets are sacred, secrets are cursed,
Secrets make us want to burst.
Secrets are precious, secrets are cheap,
Secrets keep us from sleep.
Secrets are lost, secrets are found out,
Secrets keep us in doubt.
Secrets are touching, secrets are horrifying,
Secrets keep us crying.
Secrets are bonding, secrets can free,
Secrets make us feel empty.
Secrets make us bleed, secrets help us heal,
Secrets are too real.
Secrets take away, secrets give,
Secrets make us not want to live.
Secrets drain, secrets...
Secrets make us want to burst.
Secrets are precious, secrets are cheap,
Secrets keep us from sleep.
Secrets are lost, secrets are found out,
Secrets keep us in doubt.
Secrets are touching, secrets are horrifying,
Secrets keep us crying.
Secrets are bonding, secrets can free,
Secrets make us feel empty.
Secrets make us bleed, secrets help us heal,
Secrets are too real.
Secrets take away, secrets give,
Secrets make us not want to live.
Secrets drain, secrets...

Sadistic Extrication of Soul
You don't need a razor when you can write like this,
to run your mind onto paper to drain your soul to its demise,
To create such creepy catharsis is a morbid blessing in disguise
for so many lack the ability to write what they think,
but these morbid laments are my sublime.
You don't need a bullet, with words you never miss,
you can write yourself away, with a few words on a page
You can create writings which slowly drain you of your life,
you can like it too, believe me I would know that its true,
the darkest emptiest thoughts are the ones...
