The Infernal
They suffer at night,
The ones with no names.
They curse the dawn's light,
And lurk in the flames.
They feed on sorrow,
And bathe in our fear.
Born of the shadow,
Death's all they hear.
Their eyes glow blood red.
Their bodies decay.
Every inch is dead.
Every color gray.
We are naught but dust,
They are the wind's burst.
Teeth covered in rust
From a long felt thirst.
They long for a soul.
They long for a life.
They wish to be whole,
Not wanting this strife.
They seek a deep grave.
They seek eternal....
The ones with no names.
They curse the dawn's light,
And lurk in the flames.
They feed on sorrow,
And bathe in our fear.
Born of the shadow,
Death's all they hear.
Their eyes glow blood red.
Their bodies decay.
Every inch is dead.
Every color gray.
We are naught but dust,
They are the wind's burst.
Teeth covered in rust
From a long felt thirst.
They long for a soul.
They long for a life.
They wish to be whole,
Not wanting this strife.
They seek a deep grave.
They seek eternal....

Millennium
I guess it's been a while,
Almost over an age.
Yet I've only walked one mile,
I've only walked one stage.
How hard can it be
To put words in a line?
The only obstruction I see,
Are the thoughts I call mine.
There's too many, too few.
They're too dark and too light.
About me, about you.
Every day and every night.
My glass is overflowing,
With things I don't need.
I guess it won't hurt knowing,
How to make myself bleed.
I guess it's getting late,
But I'm not tired. Just cold.
I can't escape my fate,
Or so I'm told....
Almost over an age.

They're too dark and too light.

With things I don't need.

How to make myself bleed.

Poetry = Life
They don't believe I own these words, these screams.
All I say comes from deep inside my heart.
My screams come from deep inside my soul's dreams.
All of this is true, every aching part.
I have to stop writing this poetry,
Or I'll no longer have secrets to keep.
Secrets that'd be the end of you and me.
Hopefully I'll never reach down that deep.
Writing poems is all that I'm good for,
I have no other talent to display.
It's all I've got, I can give you no more.
So please do not take my last hope away.
It's really hard searching for my lost mind ...

Parallel to Perpendicular
The path I walk is hard to see,
And a storm is looming over me.
But the trail has a wide girth.
It's been that way since my birth.
Every time I stray from the path,
All I ever hear is my own wrath.
I don't even hear the vapid sound,
When my bloody knees hit the ground.
As I get back on track,
I'm tempted to look back.
I look to see what made me fall,
But it's all obscured by a wall.
Even when I'm down, I never stop,
And my incessant speed will never drop.
The storm is always close behind,
Giving constant torment to my mind.

Kudasai
Winter cold and burning snow grasped the day,
Just a practical day in December.
Bleak winds and icy thoughts blow warmth away.
A day that I shall always remember.
A young girl passes me. She hangs her head.
I find that I cannot remove my eyes.
Roses sprout from her footprints; they are dead.
As I stand I begin to fantasize.
I follow the trail of thorns left behind.
The sharpness of their truths pierce through my feet.
The girl is the only thought in my mind.
I long to see her eyes, woeful and sweet.
We walk slow but the world passes so fast....
Just a practical day in December.
Bleak winds and icy thoughts blow warmth away.
A day that I shall always remember.

Mirrors
What have we become?
Monsters that we are.
Why am I so numb?
True love is too far.
The doors are all shut.
Our path is now clear.
There's hope for us, but,
It lies within fear.
We're put to the test.
We try and we fail.
We know we're not blessed.
Our curse is our tale.
Don't get left behind.
They'll eat you alive.
Don't forget your mind,
Or you won't survive.
We are lost in time.
It will wear us thin
This, this is no rhyme.
I've yet to begin.
Monsters that we are.
Why am I so numb?
True love is too far.
The doors are all shut.
Our path is now clear.
There's hope for us, but,
It lies within fear.
We're put to the test.
We try and we fail.
We know we're not blessed.
Our curse is our tale.
Don't get left behind.
They'll eat you alive.
Don't forget your mind,
Or you won't survive.
We are lost in time.
It will wear us thin
This, this is no rhyme.
I've yet to begin.

This Is Now
I'm walking taller now.
I'm walking on my own ground.
You're not holding me down.
My heart remembers it's own sound.
I'm stronger now.
You made me this way.
You broke my heart too many times.
I could feel you slipping away.
I'm broken now.
I knew this would come.
I trusted too much.
It's a blessing to be numb.
I'm still the same now.
I'm still the person you knew.
I haven't changed, but my feelings have.
But surprisingly, I still love you.
I'm in pain now.
But isn't normal to ache?
This pain brings me life.
Is life a...

Typical Me
Your heart will bleed today.
It will bleed out all your joy.
You will wish it all away.
You're nothing but a toy.
You're here for everyone to use.
Your purpose is pain.
Someone anyone can abuse,
Or abandon in the searing rain.
Today you'll be broken.
You will be torn apart.
Your words left unspoken.
Ice left in your heart.
You'll recognize the lies,
And you'll fall under their spell.
The light will leave your eyes,
As they put you through hell.
You can't deny the hurt.
You can't deny the shame.
It will fill your soul with...
It will bleed out all your joy.
You will wish it all away.
You're nothing but a toy.
You're here for everyone to use.
Your purpose is pain.
Someone anyone can abuse,
Or abandon in the searing rain.
Today you'll be broken.
You will be torn apart.
Your words left unspoken.
Ice left in your heart.
You'll recognize the lies,
And you'll fall under their spell.
The light will leave your eyes,
As they put you through hell.
You can't deny the hurt.
You can't deny the shame.

Knowledge
I knew that this would happen soon enough,
But I wasn't prepared for what I'd feel.
I know I'm stronger; I know that I'm tough,
But this feeling makes everything unreal.
I know I'm haunted by this memory,
But I only remember the sorrow.
I know that love gives you much more to see,
But I was blinded by love's dark shadow.
I know I can come in out of the rain,
But I find empathy in this abyss.
I fall back to the open arms of pain,
Pain unknown. Oh God, ignorance is bliss.
I know that I can't wish for things because,
It's too late to yearn for...
