Feeling uneasy.
I think to myself,
I must be going crazy.
I look over my shoulder,
But not soon enough.

To get out of his...

Paper HeartMy paper heart
Flies like a bird
And flutters like a butterfly

Along miniature music staves,
Hop-hop-hopping to the notes
In quarters, eighths, and...

Dreams of Flawless CadenceI gently massaged her shoulders moving surely
up and down the nape of her neck

unreadable, pale, and cold,
her attitude nevertheless was sweet and her actions bold,
his face drawn to a...

Kirsty (One)Even now I sit, slump, shuddering,
Remembering...
Stale walls echoing lamenting calls,
their house...
A nightmare flickered in the red herring of betrayal.
Stumbling hormones, skinless evil.

Blood red lips snarling, capturing someone else essence, bone dry.
