The dragon
The dragon is sleeping
in its lair on the hill
while its victims are weeping
in the abyss of Hell.
The dragon's eyes closing
but the darkness of night
shelters dangers so vile
it is all out of sight.
The creatures are lurking,
stalking your life
with eyes in the shadows
watching your strife.
But the dragon is waking
and it stretches its wings
and those creatures watching
flee from their king.

Death is here
Death is always present
in every breath I take,
polluted air I breathe
I die when I'm awake.
My sleep is ever blissful,
ignorance so pure,
brilliant and ablaze,
my sleep I can endure.
But then, when I'm awake
I die inside again,
"leave me alone", I beg
"leave me, for goodness sake."

Imagination
I've killed
so often
in my mind.
No
regrets
anywhere to find.
Always
dying
on the floor.
Blood
runs over
to the door.
Trickling
sticky
stain my skin.
In
my mind
I always win.

Silence
Silently speaking
saving the sound
away from my ears
it'll never be found.
Softly sighing
another day gone
time is a stranger
it doesn't take long.
Words are dying
in the air,
always gone
before anyone can
catch what was won.
Seeing lips move
not a sound to be heard
because numbness doesn't come
it needs to be earned.

Time
Killing time
But time's killing me
And when I stop ticking
Time will still be.
Always, forever
Time plays its part
Ticking away
From the very first start.
Time is immortal
Just like I'm not
Opposites in life
I'll get what I got.
Only still waiting
'Till time ticks away
I'm longing for sleep
What else can I say?
But time's killing me
And when I stop ticking
Time will still be.
Always, forever
Time plays its part
Ticking away
From the very first start.
Time is immortal
Just like I'm not
Opposites in life
I'll get what I got.
Only still waiting
'Till time ticks away
I'm longing for sleep
What else can I say?

Words
Hell is the place where the living don't tread
If that is the truth I must already be dead
For the pain searing through me is agony, real
And the whispers that haunt me say exactly what I feel
Like a dagger, stabbed, twisted, your words pierced my heart
I should've known better, I was a dead man from the start.
If that is the truth I must already be dead
For the pain searing through me is agony, real
And the whispers that haunt me say exactly what I feel
Like a dagger, stabbed, twisted, your words pierced my heart
I should've known better, I was a dead man from the start.

I miss you
I miss you
Goddammit I miss you
I wish I could tell you
But no words seem to describe what I feel
And you’re probably expecting something outstanding like poetry or prose, but I can’t
Not for you
Not anymore
Because every time I think of you I get a writer’s block
All I can do is want you
And miss you
And hate you
But hate myself more
I wish I could tell you
That I miss you
And that you’d be there to listen
But that won’t happen
Not anymore
I...

Too long
I know the promises I made
To stop hurting
To stop bleeding
Physically and emotionally
I could stick to them for a while
I could hold back the need to cut
But it came back, just as I had foretold
Twice as hard it hit, and I just couldn’t resist
I had to see myself bleed again
I wanted to feel that comforting pain
The pain that told me what I wanted to hear
Although I’m not too sure what that is
So I bled again
I disappointed again
But it hurts no more than it does to resist
It hurts no more than pain itself
That horrible pain...
To stop hurting
To stop bleeding
Physically and emotionally
I could stick to them for a while
I could hold back the need to cut
But it came back, just as I had foretold
Twice as hard it hit, and I just couldn’t resist
I had to see myself bleed again
I wanted to feel that comforting pain
The pain that told me what I wanted to hear
Although I’m not too sure what that is
So I bled again
I disappointed again
But it hurts no more than it does to resist
It hurts no more than pain itself

My refuge
My hatred shimmers in the gloom
Created by myself, my safe cocoon
My reason to live
My reason to die
This darkness surrounding me
This soothing obscurity
This is what holds me
This is what keeps me
Never will I fear rejection
In my own world of pain
My sinister creation
An imagination of my brain
It feels so real, my refuge
The only place where I can truly be myself
If only it wasn’t made of sorrow
Maybe… maybe then I’d be okay.
Created by myself, my safe cocoon

Fear
I hear a whisper
So soft and so frail
So silently muttered
So lost and so pale
It reaches my ears and my eyes weep a tear
For their small, hidden meaning is drenched with a fear
A fear for the life and the world, oh so real
The troubles and pain that we’ll all have to feel
The meaning remains when the whisper’s long gone
The fear I have gained was never so strong
So soft and so frail
So silently muttered
So lost and so pale
It reaches my ears and my eyes weep a tear
For their small, hidden meaning is drenched with a fear
A fear for the life and the world, oh so real
The troubles and pain that we’ll all have to feel
The meaning remains when the whisper’s long gone
The fear I have gained was never so strong

Deep down inside
Deep down inside
I know I can’t hide
Whenever I need
I still can’t be freed
The weight on my chest
Like it’s crushing my soul
I can’t beat the best
I can never be whole
My heart into pieces
They’re scattered, alone
I cannot beseech them
To let me atone
My lips slowly withered
My eyelids still closed
My limbs softly shivered
My inside exposed
Spread out on the floor
You read like a book
My soul, though it’s poor
Can retrieve what you took
I know I can’t hide
Whenever I need
I still can’t be freed
The weight on my chest
Like it’s crushing my soul
I can’t beat the best
I can never be whole
My heart into pieces
They’re scattered, alone
I cannot beseech them
To let me atone
My lips slowly withered
My eyelids still closed
My limbs softly shivered
My inside exposed
Spread out on the floor
You read like a book
My soul, though it’s poor
Can retrieve what you took

I changed
My head stuffed with hatred I refrain in my room
I cannot help but think about life and my doom
My life turned so grey
But I wanted to stay
The way I was when I was a child
My heart filled with pain I sing to the world
Of sadness and loneliness, unbearable hurt
My eyes turned so dull
While they once were so bright
While they once could clearly see the light
My body so rotten, so cold and deceased
The bugs cheer aloud when they start on their feast
My body is theirs for I cannot be saved
I don’t care
I did my share
I tried...
