Cheeks stiff with the trails of dried tears
Eyes blurry from lack of sleep
Body exhausted from constant stress
Stomach queasy from the deep, choking sobs
Nose stuffed, sinuses pounding
Heart twisting, ripping, smashed
Knives, barely sheathed in words, plunging into my core
Is it the painful actions
The brutality of the comments
The poisonous deceit
That fill me with uncontrollable agony?
Or is it the phrase unspoken
The words I long to hear
Implying acceptance
Thoughtfulness
Caring
Love?
Maybe all.
Maybe none.
But truth be told...
(For told it must be)...
The day I existed
Is meaningless to anyone but myself.
For I
Am
There's a happyness in snow
And a kind of sorrow too
You want to jump around and yell
Let fingers freeze and snow
Trickle down your spine
But the cracking your feet make
Only sound for miles, it seems
Makes you want to just sit down
forever, let snowflakes accumulate
end up a strange snowman

Literature
A Broken Wing of a Raven Man
And whispers then there came 7 sins later,
Where martyed lead cinders had brushed away in dusk
Brought forth to me in tears drawn back
A man with feathered wings dyed black,
His ecohed cry had left me to believe in such a lie
Where eternity had sprung forth from me
a second to spare,
A relief to this wretched nightmare.
Across the furious trees of ash
Had came to him a scouring clash
Of memories of how he too had fell
From kingdoms high,
Left in this cave to loathe and die
He clawled to crawl
And to my ear did he spy
Whispering names to whom he implied,
But then out of scarce delay
did he peck a protray
With his wicked ingno
Is it important that unimportant things are said?
The words we don\'t mean make a sound worse than silence
Imply a man who lives by less than bread alone
Signify violence
Shatter the peace
When the living ape the dead
What heart not made from stone
Can keep from breaking?
Wrapped up in empty speech
What tongue, what ear
But cries out for release?
I know the poignant sense of absence
The mourning of dead space
That follows in the wake of wasted words
I have ached with it
Coiled my mind round it tight
Tried to expel it, before it starved me from inside
But I have known, too, gravity
That force aroused by weight
That gives us
Mortals
I understand the emptiness of love lost,
Although I have myself not known the cost,
I understand it\'s like you\'ve lost an arm,
To live away from loves\' sweet charm.
Whether \'twas to the Shadowlovers\' fee,
Or simply because they wanted to be free.
I willingly comfort those who suffer;
Those who have lost their lover,
But not for them, my pity’s reserved,
For others it is better deserved.
For those to whom love is unknown,
For those who have always felt alone.
For those who have spent the long night hours
Trembling as the lonely winters leaf cowers.
Those in abject fear of five little words
Flitting round thei
I remember when I first saw that person that walks to school alone. Like she never meet a single person in here life. I never thought about it really but, I wonder what she's like?
It was a fairly cool autumn morning when I awoke in my bed. The usual routine of getting a shower, dressed and out the door was soon to come. I don't eat breakfast, I am not a morning person. Nobody is ever home in the morning its usually just me and the dogs. I leave at around 25 after to get to school in plenty of time. I run across, or rather see this girl about a block away from my house, the school being only 5 blocks in the same direction. Her hair is sho
EXPOSED
The dirty pig lay in its own filth
Dead
Decaying on a silver table
Its entrails
Are exposed
And I am standing
With the knife in hand
We are
C O V E R E D
In grime
The room is
Sweating
The pig is
Crying
And I don't
Know
What
To
Do
I shove the pig
To the floor
And turn the knife
On the people
Who don't see the pig
Don't see my mess
And don't
See
Me
12 O' Clock
The sun filtered in through the window
But all you saw was the note on the table.
I'm sorry that I have to leave you.
All the angels opened their arms
Unfolded their wings
All the devils averted their eyes
Held their tongues
That day the clock didn't chime.
You followed my footprints in the dust
The air still settling from when I'd passed
But you knew before you saw
It was too late to say "Good bye."
The thumping on the other side
Of the closet door, shut tight
You knew what it was before you
Opened it slowly and saw my feet
Dangling limply beneath the rafters.
Maybe you'll regret never
Opening the note I'd w
Unsleepable
When the 2 a.m. lights just won't burn out
and your mind ticks with the clock.
Layin' there hoping time will turn out
and make these daydreams stop.
In actions untaken
you'll find you resolution.
'cause its just unsleepable.
And dreams unfaded
will haze with the sunrise.
'cause its all so unsleepable.
Chasing bedlamp shadows across the sheets
leaves paths for the mind to wander.
But in those pasts you'll find no peace.
As that lies under the covers.
And if in dreams long missed
you find some resolve.
Then advise my feet
in what path to take.
'cause I'll find it
far too unsleepable.
