Sadness crashes against my beating heart
like storm driven waves against the shore
Slowly…inevitably eating away at the shell
that protects the loving and caring core
Memories on an empty bank.
Eating away leaving me blank.
Lost under the covers.
If I knew I'd call us lovers.
So bitter in every way.
So perfect everyday.
Ask about her cuz i forgot her name.
Eating...
People accuse me
Of not eating
But, I do...I really do eat.
It is just that...
They do not see me
Eating.
They do not know
I am
Eating.
Always
Eating
Eating away at myself.
I collected my fears in a jar,
set them on the window sill
and watched as the sun melted them
into a mass of gelatinous doubt
Spread them on my toast
and consumed them -
before they consumed me
The clouds overhead smother me.
Their heaviness, mirroring my thoughts,
And the grayness of their pain
Rains down cold memories,
Onto my soul like acid rain,
Eating away at my chance to
For once,
Be happy.
Form:
Pain is all encompassing
Destroying soul
Eating away insides
The mind...
Music drowns pain
Sooths the brain
Music sooths the soul
Heals thee
Release the pain
Open the chains
Let the music flow
Be free
With a voracious appetite,
You start to consume my soul.
Eating away at my convictions,
And swallowing them whole.
My hunger grows as well,
As you slate your thirst.
And you fill my emptiness,
To the point I may burst.
My grief is so raw
like a cancer
eating away at my soul …
questions no one can answer
Life will continue without you,
this aching heart
will keep beating
although we are apart

Yeah;
You're still here,
Filling my thoughts,
Eating away at
What's left of me,
Not stopping
Until you hit the core.
Then,
You've had your fun,
Nothing left to take.
So I'm tossed aside,
Left to rot.
While you're still
Laughing,
Smiling,
Living.
Thanks for not caring.
Twist
Licked it whole
ambrosia delighted her to full.
Twisted her tongue
Wiped it all.
Tak-made sound by her tongue
Started giving back to her
Delightful
We licked till dawn
Felt the heaven
The biscuits cream i left for her
eating away the biscuit.
Just to see all cream licked by her.
Depression.
It never leaves.
Never lets up.
Never.
Its always there eating away at my
soul.
Picking away at my happiness.
Making my life worse.
Taking away my light and replacing it with
darkness.
Nothing works.
Not pills, not talking,
nothing.
My depression will always be present.
Form:
the hurt doesn't go away
it clings to my insides
i carry it's weight everyday,everywhere
it's sorrow overwhelms me
leaving me feeling gloomy
i can't be happy
i linger through life
looking for happiness, but feeling nothing
hurt is like a disease
eating away at my organs
leaving nothing but emptiness
Living is another way the devil keeps ahold of me
on every line of this page, I sink deeper into
vast open spaces
Empty, lies my minds blankness
In every word I express
sounds another voice, depressed
Help me in my slumber
eating away my breathe
let mercy have me
let this bring me closer to death.
Paradise
Parasite
The vacation spot to live
The spot to receive an alien in you
Paradise
Parasite
The sea is beautiful, the air is cool
The alien is inside you eating away
Parasite
Paradise
The alien is, in your brain, controlling you
Love the sounds, Love the Sea, Love the Breeze
one moment the sun loses a spark ~ and from that fireball life grows dark
one moment steadily turns to night ~ blackness gnaws eating away light
one moment life holds plenty ~ despair manifests draining til empty
then one moment a baby smiles with fire in her eyes ~ and all’s worthwhile

David Kavanagh
The robber of peace
Leaching into the soul
Like a bitter damp cold
Seeping into the bones
Harboring resentments
That long have passed
In time, but not memory
Its skill is honed
Eating away at joy
With each passing day
Until it destroys
All peaceful tones
Leaving one’s life
Empty and void
Spreading its tentacles
Out to be cloned
Time goes sprinting by.
Like an animal it flees.
Seconds Minutes Hours Days.
Quickly ticked away.
The clock is a hungry mouth.
Eating away all the time.
Eagerly it goes.
Swiftly sailing, soaring. Gone.
A thousand years in a blink.
Then your time is spent.
You can only hope to know,
Exactly where your time went.
Consuming fire
Bitter ire
Eating away at me,
Turning me into ash.
Burning fire
All consuming ire
Smiling has become strange.
It seems that I've really changed.
Everything I once knew,
Grew a crooked smile and ran away.
Damning fire
Strengthening ire
And all I can do is laugh.
It's not a nice sound.
But neither is,
Lasting fire.
They walk as fast as you run
Their eyes see nothing but pain
They are the face of death
The death of all things Holy and Beloved.
Eating away at the face of the Earth
Exposing its wicked Seed
Into the open air
They are running
I don't know what to do
my frustration and anxiety
are eating away at my soul
like the moon does the sun
during an eclipse
and as my soul gets darker and darker
I feel myself slipping back into my old ways
marking my skin with a blade
and covering up like nothings wrong
all I want to do is cry
but tears don't want to fall
I just don't know what to do
anymore

The cold juice
It flows through my hands
Attempts to clean up but it is no use
It stains the land of sand
But we still go on
We continue to eat
Wishing more could spawn
But hungry, we consume.
Without a care we do not stop.
Eating away into a dark room,
It continues non-stop.
When I grasp nothing but air
I realize there is nothing but me and despair.
perfection in all things
easy, you would think, but not when
re-daunting love is demanded,
forever constant drip of words
eating away my soul, feeling
claustrophobic, being smothered, by
total love which is demanded back
loyalty closes its eyes as
overbearing mother decides my future
vitriol thoughts circle my brain
erased my natural love for my mother

A button on my shirt will not stay
if I keep on eating away.
Everybody agrees that it doesn’t look right
if a shirt I wear appears too tight.
I have to give my eating habits a rest
if I want to stop the burgeoning of my chest.
What an embarrassing predicament
when I can’t find any clothes that will fit.
If I don’t want anymore buttons to pop,
my eating habits are what I have to stop.
Behind a mask,
Nobody can see,
This inner battle,
Eating away me.
A relentless war,
Never to cease,
Fighting each day,
Determined for peace.
Exhausted and emotional,
Awaiting the blow,
A fierce eruption,
Like a volcano.
Overcame too much,
Can't give in,
Empowering more strength,
From deep within.
No matter what,
Laughing or crying,
Won't give up,
Must keep trying.
The summer created a chance to stop pretending.
The summer created a true and perfect ending.
I wanted to find the reasons why,
but all my will has dried up and died,
left only to self mutilate and cry.
As the flowers wither away,
I turn to grey.
I lose all hope of anyone finding me.
I cannot stop the decay eating away at me.
Dig the needle into the skin.
The strings hold together,
what would fall out,
in.
