SIREN SONG
Sing a siren song
to call sailors along.
Draw them in.
Watch it all begin.
Mesmerizing.
Hypnotizing.
Down they go,
to the depths below.
They drown.
They die…
ASHES TO ASHES
Ashes to ashes,
everything turns to dust,
but everything must.
Let it fall away,
so you can get up.
Dust yourself off
and be on your way.
Stronger than before.
Your past
will haunt you no more…
CLOSE YOUR EYES
Intoxicated.
Pain.
Isolated.
Shut off
from the world.
Closed yourself up,
but that’s
a little fucked up.
You think
your heart…
ALONE
Sometimes,
it hurts so bad
and no one knows…
Whether you tell them,
or not,
it makes no difference…
You only have
your shadow to hold you…
But even your shadow
disappears…
SOUL LEAKING
My eyes hurt;
The tears don’t stop.
They say that
eyes
are the window
to the soul;
Maybe,
my soul
is leaking…
WHO AM I?
“Who am I?”
People ask.
I ask myself too.
“Who am I?”
I don’t look like much.
I’m not picture perfect,
nor a model in a magazine.
I don’t think much of myself at all.
So, “Who am I?”
So, I look at my heart…
SILENCED BY HOPE
Strange events happen your life,
some beyond your control.
They bind you
and cause you to stumble,
not allowing you to see
what happens before you.
They cause you to doubt
and to fear,
to question
and to break inside…
HELPLESS
To rather not care,
would be easier
than to feel helpless.
To see someone you love
in pain
and not to be able
to do anything,
to try reach out
to help
and to be…
YOU SHOULD HAVE KILLED ME
You should have killed me,
when you had the chance
but you never could.
Never allowed to die;
That’s my curse.
Instead I live
but yet dying;
Never to reach an end…
RAVENS
Ravens circling,
round and round;
I walk in despair.
Looking down,
stones and rocks,
dusty and dry;
A morbid figure
I am,
as I walk by.
Creatures of the night…
