Waking UpI wake up again in the middle of the night
Cold sweat dripping I don't know if I'm alright
Cause it's the millionth time
That I've dreamt you were mine

But now I see
It's only me
With no one else
I'm by myself...

I can hear my heartbeat echo off these walls
As I wander aimlessly through these desolate halls
I keep thinking that I'm hearing your desperate call
But that's just me pretending trying so hard not to fall

I listen to the wind as it whispers by me
But the words that it speaks aren't registering
I listen to the rain as it pours to the ground
I'm looking for you but you're nowhere around

I really fucking hate being alon
Overdramatic"Overdramatic"

Nothing's changed

You're still the same

Playing the guilty card

Only gets you so far

Real victims are a mess

That wine on your pretty dress

Can in no way compare

To the bombs dropped in the air

Lie in a hole by a bay

Under gunfire ablazed

And then maybe you'll say

"I am having better days."

The dead weight that you carry

The problems you parry

Are not as bad as it seems

Go back to bed and dream

Your soul would never last

If you were given the gas

And from what I can amass

Your heart's as weak as glass

Blurring color from the scene

Overdramatic you may be

But to others you annoy

Their ears with your ploys
ForeclosureWhere are they now?
Iron tumbleweeds,
emerald city slums,
dirt in the sky.

The child fell off his bike and
skinned his knee. He cried when
I tried to help him up. Ants carried
his blood away. We don't need

A woman in Pasadena sold a slice
of toast with F.D.R.'s face on it.
I thought it looked more like you

We were asked to recreate the Gospels and

Some things never change.

Columbus found America,

the same way my brother found bourbon
the same way a horse finds religion.

feelAn update to my previous journal. I allowed myself to fall in love with her. That is why this hurts so damn much. She is telling me that I am lashing out and hurting her because I am hurt. I do not mean to. I just...am sensitive, or as she says "fragile". I suppose that happens when your heart has be broken, betrayed and more over and over and over. And yet, I still blame myself! I want to be someone she could love, respect and long for...I do not know if I can be that...for anyone even. I just feel like utter dross, like a worthless piece of shit yet again...If you are reading this (you know who you are) I want to apologize for being...me. I am sorry.
The Hanwell AsylumSanctuary Gardens never offered the peace of mind it claimed. At one time the screams could be heard echoing down the halls as the electricity flashed and charges were forced into the bodies of people barely in control of their sensibilities. Now the place was even scarier with the blackened ivy crawling up cracked and decaying walls. The clouds abominably huddled together, their dark curves mocking the landscape, with a crack they burst open and the rain slow at first, fell, plummeted to the dry ground of the Hanwell asylum.
The barred windows kept the demonic squealing of Isabella.

happy endings are stories that haven't ended yet.i.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who liked reading and writing and dying her hair bright colors.  She had green eyes and a shy smile and every day she looked in the mirror and said, "You can do better."

She loved purple the best and she would call her best friend late at night to remind her that she was loved.  And her friend would say, "It's two in the goddamned morning."

But she loved the girl because that's what friends are for.

The green-eyed girl told people to call her Alex.  "My middle name's Alexandria," she explained.  "I just like Alex a lot better."

People would ask her why she never went by her first name, and she'd
The Green ArmchairShe found it strange how memories can creep up on a person, like the ones that swam around her old student flat and the green armchair they'd kept in the sitting-room. Some nights, when the house was coated in the type of silence that arrives once the darkness had persuaded even the most stubborn to go to bed, she would find herself leaning back against the familiar faded leather. Her fingertips traced circles in the ink stains that decorated the arms and she could close her eyes and hear the music and laughter as her boys sprawled themselves across the room.

Danny was always last one to come in, relegated to the floor since the few seats th
Death An' FermentationThe jailhouse is hot an' overfull.
Human-stink is somethin' awful;
'Specially with so much hate afoot.

The inmates are makin' wine in a toilet.
Ebeneezer knows of few things as certain -
As death an' fermentation.  

An' he supposes men will do,
As they will do, when they are desperate;
Still, he'll not be drinking from a toilet.
A man of means,
May not remain so fortunate;
But, he'll not be made a dog.

Self-respect is a habit hard forgetting.
Ebeneezer knows of few things as certain -
As death an' fermentation.

He feels the hollow in his bones -
An' knows – he ain't much longer for this hell,
Soon he's goin'
This MorningThe young man sat alone, as many of us do. He looked at his hands, now frail bones from the hard labor. He dragged his kneecaps- they were no longer knees, no- up to his skeleton chest. He rested his temple on the one, closing his eyes for a moment. They abruptly snapped open to find me studying him, his gaze meeting mine. He held it only for a second, and then turn his head away. I crawled towards him, shoving past lifeless bodies, feeling my way through the sealed cattle car toward the boy. I put a gentle hand on his shoulder. He turned his head as fast as he dared towards me, restricted by cramped space around us. The sunrise shone through
Double DareDaring to stare into your
Once blue eyes
Blurring into dullness

Brave enough to shrink
the gap between us
Not love,
A challenge

This is the wrong path
I'm sure,
Yet I walk on

At the fork in the road
I choose green

teardrops that will never rain
over an ocean of blue

I'd apologize if I meant it
But the green suits me better
And I continue

cringing at the merciless

as the gears turn
and grind
to a close

the silent foundations

any hope

around.

of finality
of knowing

Of LifeSpinning sphere of souls so ill,
Of life no coward cares about,
Or perhaps some folks never will,
Yet there is tribulations to flout,
Of a world where destruction is all.

Taunting time of trials so fair,
Of life no dotard dares to tread,
Or someday we shall all care,
How an earth there is but dread,
Of a place where humiliation is the call.
ImaginationI am a poet, and so I shall write
Words made of pieces of rain and daylight
I will write poems of pain and regret
Stories of torture, the strength to forget
I will write pieces of laughter and grins
Power and wisdom that pours from within
Novels of fictional things in my mind
Statements of my complicated design
Some will be puzzled and some will shed tears
My words will either be silent or clear
Though, in the end, it's not their creation..
Welcome to my own imagination…
Waiting for youNo matter what may come,
Even if the sun is gone,
And the stars are dimmed by the shadows....

My heart is still aching,
While the people fading,
But no matter what, I'll be there...

Waiting patiently,
Gripping onto that hope,
Holding my breathe,
Until you care....

No matter what what may come,
Even if the storms are tough,
The words they burn,
I'll hold my head high for you!

Even if you never come,
I'll be here forever,
Holding onto that small strand of hope...

Clutching tightly onto,
My throbbing chest,
I'll be here...

Waiting for you~
Come Back Home
It had all happened so suddenly. One moment I was lying comfortably in bed, blissfully dreaming and awaiting a new day, and the next I was rushing towards the exit of a burning building with only the warning from the first plumes of smoke reaching my nose as a head start. It was just me and my daughter in the house. At eight years old I was pretty sure she knew what to do in the instance of a fire, but that didn't stop me from panicking. With the ever thickening smoke beginning to starve me of oxygen, I sprinted down the corridor and checked the room that belonged to her just in case. No-one was inside. I scanned the room again, taking in the

Star Light, Star Bright...Star light, star bright, if I make a wish right now
Will it come true tonight?
If you don't mind, if it's alright, I don't want to ask for much
Just the feeling of her touch…
But if you could, only if you would, bring her here to me
It'd be better company than this decorated tree
That's only drowning out the misery of being all alone

Star light, star bright, if I make a wish right now
Will you hear my whispered cry?
If you don't mind, if it's alright, it's in no way a demand
I just want to hold her hand…
But if you could, only if you would, place me by her side
Underneath your watchful gaze for the Christmas holidays

If Ever I Lost YouWhat weighs on your mind?
What's taking up your time?
You tell me not to worry and you swear you're really fine

Please open up to me
Tell me of your fears
You know I'll kiss the scars and I'll wipe away your tears

Don't keep it to yourself
You know you're not alone
I couldn't live my life without you ever coming home

I'd be so lost inside
I wouldn't recognize
The person that I see in the reflection of your eyes

Just tell me you're okay, and that you love me too
I don't know what I'd do
If ever I lost you…
'Goodbye' Isn't Always...You don't know my secret pain
The pain I hide from every day
Every smile fades away
Etched in every word I say
But to you I seem okay

Well, that's just on the surface
Nothing about me is perfect
It's safe to say that I'm worthless
I've got no plan nor a purpose

And I can't begin to explain how it feels to be ignored
By the ones you love, by the ones that you care for
It hurts more than you could ever imagine
And I'm not having this anymore

You burrow under my skin when you assume that I'm okay
That I've never had to deal with any sort of real pain
I've been through more than you could ever forget
This experience alone is solel

Deafening Voices...

:iconinvoking:

Why does every single day
Seem to stay the same
Shade of lifeless grey
Can nothing ease the pain?

When I see your face
My heart begins to race
I long for your embrace
I'd kill for just a taste
(Of your sweet kiss)

But when I look around
You're nowhere to be found
I hear the maddening thoughts
As they begin to sound
Off as

[Chorus]
Deafening voices
Inside of my head
Whispering words
That are best left unsaid

Destructive emotions
Locked inside my mind
They chip me away
Just a little at a time
[End Chorus]

There have always been
Things I've held inside
That I wish I could confess
Or just get off of my mind

When I hear your voice
My heart begins to race
When I see your eyes
I long for just a taste
(Of your sweet kiss)

But then I stop myself
Cause you're with someone else
I hear the maddening thoughts
But they don't ever help
They're just

[Chorus]
Deafening voices
Inside of my head
Whispering words
That are best left unsaid

Destructive emotions
Locked inside my mind
They chip me away
Just a little at a time
[End Chorus]
