I dressed up on Halloween night
Then stumbled upon a horrific sight
Where the witches had brew
Humans were the stew
I hurried and got out of sight

Silent Whispers

Vicious rumours,

Idle gossip,

Talk, that is void of logic,

The horrific drama that

unfolds behind peoples' backs,

shows distaste and lack of

class and decency.

Oh! God! Please get me off the hook!

As the clock of war is loudly ticking

Broader the smiles of death become

For the passing away of souls is thinking

Onto the oblivion’s horrific land!

I Am Sorry For My Struggles

Thrilling. 

Became chilling. 

And then horrific. 

I am certain…

That my clairvoyance. 

Is actually confusion. 

It seems…

That I have gained nothing. 

Through my suffering. 

Except a need to atone.
