Ashen-Cradle
A haunting past that trails behind, An unnerving shadow that fails to blend. The harrowing voices that curve the bend, Sending your sanity off to the other end. The gleaming red eyes that tend to blind, The long veiny hands stretched out to lend. One that offers an ironic life to bade, The other that offers prosperity to the dead. A single screech...

Until Next Time
Until we meet again Not by chance But by design Not by accident But by choices accepted or declined Not by coincidence But by the alignment of our souls Not by a fluke But by universal sparks that unite our unrelenting goals Not by a stroke of luck But by focus and a guided decision Not by blind impact But by stars on a predetermined collision Until we...

Premium Member The Ways and Means of Death
I'm just stepping out of line. I've missed my time to shine, But don't mourn me; My soul will soon run free. Preparing for the long goodbye, Few know when or why. Accepting what they can't deny; In the silence, I hear them cry. Others are taken by surprise; Love ones left with only whys. Hearts and lives suddenly broken. No goodbyes ever spoken. When the body...

The Accident
I heard it on the radio – An early morning crash, The driver’s fault and then her life Was over in a flash.

The Accident
This Christmas, I don’t want snow. I want to forget what happened a year ago. I still had that old car. I was going to travel far. Until the crash came around. I can still hear that sound. This Christmas, I would like to have the confidence. To drive my blue car further than that fence....

Traffic Accident
The light turned red, but she failed to stop, She slammed my car, I felt the airbags pop. I sat in silence, my ears, they were ringing, Somewhere I swear, an angel was singing. She walked away without scratch, they didn't take her, But for me it is over, it's time to meet my maker. ...

23 Is Too Young To Die
When I found out you died I scrambled and panicked. Not because you were gone, but needing proof of your presence. I checked the last texts and tore up my bed I want to throw. up. From the last words we said. Your friends never knew because you kept me From you. But then you died. Your efforts to compartmentalize your loved ones...
