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…
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…
Silence 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…
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…
If You Crawl
If you crawl through a valley
of dry thickets and stones,
cut and scrape your knees;
Feel so weak
that you could collapse
like a pile of bones;
No hope but despair;
No peace but chaos…
Corner Of The Box
I want to climb
into the corner of a box,
into the one on the lowest shelf,
in the furthest corner of the room.
I will hide inside,
in the corner of the box,
so no one will see me,
and if someone came into the room,
I could watch them
but they would never know I’m there…
In A Room Of Despair
Sitting in a room of despair,
huddled in the corner,
so alone,
so afraid,
so much in pain.
Echoes of the past,
haunting me,
for fear of it
coming after me again.
Tears dripping down my face…
I Am Here, Always…
Everyone has their own pain;
A shadow of their past
following behind them.
Secrets untold,
memories wished to be forgotten
and wounds that still
ache in the night.
To think of the past,
to remember the pain…
Voices Inside My Head
I fight with voices inside my head.
One voice so hard and mean,
screaming at me;
Angry at the people around me.
One voice hurting so bad,
crying and begging to be loved;
But wallowing in pain.
Both wanting life to end.
Then there’s my voice,
trying so hard to understand…
Love Is My Curse
Love is my curse.
It sets me on a high,
makes me feel
like life is worth living,
like I am alive
and happy
… For once,
to be alive.
But love is my curse.
Fear torments me…
So Many Ways
Knife shoved through my arm,
ripped from elbow to wrist;
Let it not be put back together;
Let it bleed me out.
Swallow broken glass,
fragments so tiny I cannot see,
slowly killing me inside;
No one can stop it;
Guaranteed to die.
Handful of pills…
With Your Words
You stand over me,
while I am on my knees,
wallowing in the dirt of my pain.
You pick up a knife,
and with your words,
you cut me
and rip me apart,
over and over.
Even when I beg
for you to stop…
Darkness Wants To Play
Darkness surrounds me.
It wants to play.
It wraps its arms around me,
holding me tight.
It says it’s my friend,
the only one that’s there.
It says everyone else is a liar,
and that they only pretending to care…
