Beneath

This is where it died
where faith and hope succumbed to death.
Where our tears bitter and longing 
sting the parched clay.
Where birds resound their daily choruses
intermingled with the mournings,
the serrated sobs that saw the concept 
of what should have been.

External Sleep Backwards

Shh...they speak as I drift into an unwaking sleep.
The slowly whispers a lullaby.
As spiders crawl down my body they bed for me to go into an unforgotten sleep. 
My veins fill with the longing dark poison. 
I do not weep nor prosper with despair. 
Each one putting a black dagger through my heart.
Blood by blood, my unforgiving sins unravel.

-Kallie Mason

"tortured Soul"

Cast in the shadows
Lost in the deep
Are suicidal thoughts
Merely for the weak

Mired in subversive thought
In waves of despair
Is a longing for nurture
In the fruits that we bear

Distanced from a reality
That may never be
Lies a broken angel
So blinded by hate it cannot see

Cradled in pestilence
Sloth spreads like mold
Death become imminent
As frost surrounds the soul
