The Cold Embrace of Death The hush transports him to another place, where peace and joy are swallowed by regret. The sea allures him to his own disgrace, Akin to earworms feeble to forget The crashing surf now softly breathes her name, and speaks of pledges, secrets still untold. The wind relays his sorrow and his shame, as old bad dreams before his...

Before you leave the world tonight, I want to tell you a story, a story about a girl who wanted to end her life. She tried to leave the world one night, but stopped when she saw this beam of light. She wrestled with her mind and remembered the life she was leaving behind....

In the hallway of legends and ghosts I wander aimlessly in dream Talking with the dead of Brookhaven The rope burns are still fresh on Helen's neck A sickly scarlet mark upon her throat In this corridor, I pace, a key in hand; lost Forever the sojourn of quietus in keeping Before a door numbered two, I stand Silence a silver web with...

Yes I may smile But after a while Maybe someone will see This will never be me Yes in fact Its all an act I am not happy I am not proud Im sad on the ground Dying through a smile Hidden on trial The struggle so big But no one to dig Me out of this ditch Please someone tell me its a glitch And I really...

It’s always: “why do you talk so much?” When I hardly speak at all. It’s always: “why are you so careful?” Because I’m afraid of the fall. It’s always: “why’re you so dramatic?” When I just need a friend. It’s always: “Yeah she’ll be fine” Until they see my end....

The night’s veil falls, heavy and near, A suffocating silence, sharp and clear. Shadows coil where hope once dwelled, A heart now whispers what can’t be spelled. The weight of the world, unrelenting, cruel, Turns a vibrant soul into despair’s tool. Each breath feels stolen, each step unsure, The ache within seems beyond any cure. But as the void whispers its cold allure, A...

I feel so weak, No strength to fight, It's all left my body, Out like a light, I'd hope to find a cure, That this day wouldn't come, But now I'm too tired, To reach out to someone, I know they all cry, Probably scream and not understand, I promise I tried my best, I'm okay with this end, There'll be no...

I'm sorry that your love just couldn't meet The expectations I laid at your feet; I'm sorry that you climbed that hill so high. I'm sorry that our love just had to die. I'm sorry for the way I led you on When I should have known I would be gone, For all the love I wished to give to...

Somber clouds form - rain spits.  His mother clenches freshly laid soil, screaming his name. Three crows glare. His daughters, shivering, hold each other, their gaunt eyes, still sore from shock. Now there are no words, there is no explanation. His voice is no more. It's too late for regret. His sister wonders - how can it all be real. His brother, puzzled,...
