Darkest Night

In emptyness of this bed I feel the cold bite into my skin.
Curtains flow with the chilly breeze.
Turning in endless unrest  her spirt haunts me even in these moments.

As memories replay keeping me awake shadows
fill this moonlit room I see her form move across 
the to which just outta reach she does stay.
watching over me till the first light of day.


Darkest night you conceal that which I cannot say.
fragments of a soul erased  by day.
Apon the wind her scent still does exist.

In darkest night she does come to my side.
Taking life from me a drop at a time .
The wicked curse  she's a razor to any mans touch.

So willing to be loved yet unable to be close.
Eyes of red  she enchants.
Unable to fight her  nature.


Such a perfect wepon built to decive.
In darkness  she haunts my soul.
As I the willing victem do awake  her  embrace of agony.
Takig  more leaving me with ice water in my veins.

It's a nightmare of dreams  a vison 
without sight .
She is the the disease within the cure.
My brightest moment  on the darkst night.

I Am Wolf

I am the seeker in the dark.
I am that for which you  fear.
You run but I can smell and taste terror that fills the air.

You are lost in a realm I call home.
My cries to lure you out  of that hiddig place.
Seeking shelter you run into the arms of the that which you fear.

Do you see the  glow within my eyes?
do not confuse warmth with heat  hate with love.
As she lay in arms limp as a ragdoll

I feel no remorse.
For I am wolf.

Why Cant You See

My sweet dark angle  why can you not see my face.
I stand befor you my words unmask  me yet you  question who am I?
Madness  can eat away at that which appears same.

In the arms of another you choose to confide.
Was he that which you thought I could not be?
Blind you are blind for I stand in plain sight yet still you cannot see.

I knew of him befor you ever said.
A taken man cant ever truley share his heart only
his bed.


Cruel are the ways of lovers bitter turn  the ways of passion.
For the fires flame can so quickly consume.
Playing with a fools heart tossing like a childs toy
across the room.

You are the dagger within my side.
I the willing victim  for it was within 
your darkness i did confide.

With every kiss I taste blood apon my lip.
Your eyes refflect innocence .
 But  the illusion of love is broken with the 
pain brought like the lash of a whip.

There is much agony in love.
Hates resides in passion.
My mask no longer exists.
Is it outta of ignorance or fear that causes 
you not to see?

A Simple Mystery

Why must the man hide behind his mask.
The false illusion to dazzle all.
His true emotions burried behind a deciet built wall.

The pen can cut like a razor a haunt the eternal night.
Is not the killer the victem.
The play but a test of true character.

Will you cheer the villian that that is me?
Embrace the pain and taste the darkness 
Fear drains like sweat.

For to long the words lay  vacant apon the page.
I wonder does she question in her empty thoughts.
As I regret are meeting yet ask for her hand.

Why must we live behind this mask
will others see through to what ive done.
see blood apon my lips smell the death apon the wind.

Will I be forced to reveil my true face.
Will you cheer the villian ask?
Sit and say its great theater never knowing what you see is no
illusion.

Applaud the violence ignore the screams.
We all wear a mask for life is a illusion 
look beyond what you see for I assure you
it's far worse than it seems.

One Last Kiss

The words you speak sound hollow to my ears.
She  left me  long befor  she ever said goodbye.
you can  never  own a person  love is but a illusion.

A well hidden snake so very cold to the touch.
Hate turns and drives  this muscle in my chest.
I will not allow your games to decive  me any longer.

Will you welcome  the cold grip around your throat.
In beliving you are all knowing will you make 
the most simple of mistake?

You can not be the player when it is you that is a pawn.
In deaths grip when at last you see all for what
it is.

Love is a wepon.
I was a thought to be victim.
But even in a moment as traggic as this.
As you fade I'll give you one last kiss.

Within the Halls

Trapped by concrete kept in this tomb.
Slowley  the mind  plays tricks  with the normal thoughts that slitther 
across the room.

Old scars keep me inside these walls.
Eyes look only for a moments time then turn towards the floor.
Voices scream in agony no others hear am I insane?
Wasnt it anger that brought me here.

Cold in every sense.
Clinched teeth the tension eats at everyone here.
Some yern for a exit others yern for more.

My voice is slow from the pills that polute my brain.
laughter builds  in isolation.
Have the walls finally drove me insane.

No page or pen inwhich  to write.
Haunted are these tombs that slowley drown with the 
the sorrows night.

Hidden To None

On the shore alone I struggle to recall.
The meaning or reason we even  choose to 
fall.

Love is that illusion that is a wepon
in your hands.
Promises so empty, 
Was I but a pawn  at your command.

Should I be the one that you hide at the
bottom burried by so many others.

How do you exist without shame.
Laying with me me when in your heart
you know only his name.

Take that knife from my back 
Look me in  theeyes as you bury it
into my chest.

Finish the kill for which you 
didnt have the courage the first time
to go through with thefirst time.

Does it excite you.
To know how you've caused me pain.
The show is coming to a end.

You can use the word love only inpart with your name.
I see you now dark angle.
You decive me no longer.
The nexttime if we should meet so should 
you expect pain

A coward are hidden to all.
Broken as a lie.
How doesitfeel to know youve lost all.
