I’m waiting. Watching you, watching me.
I wonder, what you’ll tell the jury
When they’re deciding your fate?
Will you even make it to trial?
I see you cowering in some dark corner
After the dirty thoughts have fled from your wild mind
Sucking on your fate, fetal style
Now that you’ve done the deed.
My scent still fresh on your lizard scales
Excitement gives way to terror
When you remember all of your mistakes
Of trace evidence
Pointing its bony finger, right at you!
Oh, but the ecstasy! Finality of it all!
You did it! You really did it!
Soft cookies
Dunked in creamy tea
Such a treat for me
Such a guilty pleasure.
I've picked the scabs until they bleed,
And then wonder why they never heal
Is it just a compulsive need
For pain to be what I mostly feel?
A Masochist- Antagonist!
Perfect Punch-drunk Pragmatist!
The Hypnotist who slits his wrists-
And I shall suffer in the midst
The Agony cuts one half of me
(I'll bear the brunt of all of this...)
Just breathe it in -
This side of happiness,
With smoking factories and dust.
Forget the scene
With flowing emptiness
(been mirrored to a hidden lust
In glassy pond
Of dreams and madnesses)
This would have never come again
The way beyond
That frames of sadness if
It'd forgotten the refrain:
The tragic ghost,
Who guards the tower -
The prison for non-standard souls.
It likes the most
Stealing the power
And filling up the "Tears' bowls"
At midnight eve,
When all sleepwalkers
Are up and pain themselves to love.
It can deceive
Them, silly talkers
About what's Under and Above.
And, being one
Of them, I promise
Not to forget my major aim,
But deal's been done.
Can't overcome this,
I'm tied to heretical flame.
I've lost myself.
Again end ever.
And I can't blame all this on you.
My fault. Dead elf
Again, however.
...But I still hope to find the clue

You inspired happy thoughts
Now the glimmer of joy
Somehow disappeared
Replaced by an absent stare
I wish I knew what was behind
That shade of grey
I wish I knew what or who stole your joy
What turned your dancing into mourning?
In the meantime,
I’ll keep you in my thoughts
In the meantime
I’ll be praying for you
For the sunshine to return
For your winter to be filled with warmth
For the shadows to become light
That you’ll find joy in life again
In the meantime I wish you hope ---
That is sometimes our most important asset

In the meantime is where I stand
Where my thoughts are as plain as land
As these grains of sand, Descend from my hands
My thoughts are dispensed from recent events
Get up or give up which decision will win
They only reply, decide but to survive its supply and demand
Suicide is how you die if you die within
Genocide is the death of those who will rise again
Never to be diminished only replenished
But to our demise we are but a sacrifice to them
We pay our tides to them
But in the meantime, only time is spent
So they say right now isn’t the time for this
By: Loquita Shaw
Your hard embrace.
Your soft wet lips.
The shiver down my back,
When i feel your finger tips.
Although this won't last for long,
You're mine for the meantime.
Up against the wall,
You're chest against mine.
I look into your eyes.
So blue, so divine.
Your cool breathe on my neck.
The feel of your bite.
This is all wrong,
But it feels so right.
Although this won't last for long,
You're mine for the meantime.
Kiss me like it's suppose to mean something.
Whisper a lie, say "Baby i care."
As i lye against your body,
So perfect, so beautifully bare.
Although this won't last for long,
You're mine for the meantime.
Then you get up,
You say you're leaving.
Once again, my heart is deceiving.
I say, "Don't go,"
As i reach for your hand,
"Just a little bit longer, i need you right now, please understand."
But all you do is grab hold of me and pull me into you tight,
Then kiss my lips, and whisper, "Goodnight."
As you slowly fade away,
I'm left here again alone.
I wish you could see all we could be,
But you'd rather be on your own.
I sure hope this feeling won't last for long,
Because you'll always be just mine for the meantime.
