Alone

Alone 

Alone I feel myself slipping into the darkness of an abyss. 

 Drowning grasping at complete nothingness with a stench of death and despair. 

 Mind racing of thoughts I normally can’t recall, viewing in my mind like a slideshow. 

 Continuing to feel myself fall, sharp pinch, I’m not dreaming! 

 I try screaming but no sounds escape my lips, growing more frantic Now I begin to panic there’s no more holding it together!  

Ascending, descending unsure if I’m alive or dead, possibly a night terror? 

 All the torment throughout my life I’ve endured, No light at all ahead. 

 Horrors of my life’s trauma, driving me bat- crazy all the devastation and loss.  

On my chain I wear a cross around my neck, I’ve hit rock bottom yet still continue to sink.  

I don’t like it here preferring refuge of my captures slum although fearsome I am. 

 There up is up sometimes slanted down is always down even though at red oblique. 

 Someone with regard, taking my hand, not taking me for granted seeing I’m unique. 

 This is possibly my plots ending or merely exposition of my story….  

Trauma that can’t be forgotten reenacting memories I hold dearly!

Greatest Love Story Never Written

Feeling alone as if my soul were ripped in to, and made to scour the Earth searching desperately to fill this void. 

No matter even in a crowded room always feeling as though the nearest person is a Galaxy away. 

To have someone say they love you or I to them but never before feeling the deep passionate lust or desire moreover to be in love not merely to love. To never feel whole only loss pain and loneliness.  

As though my entire life everything I truly cared about whether a person or mere inanimate object to be ripped away whenever I began to relax. Trying to remain a positive and objective person with the worst kind of luck to bestowed upon anyone ever! 

Even though I got knocked down and crushed into tiny particles, always I build myself back up and create myself all over again just a little stronger and wiser. 

I once had love so pure, truly absolute, seeming no words could ever describe how I felt. 

Constantly surrounding myself with inanimate objects and people whom profess their love but I never felt it as though their interpretations of “Love” isn't real because I’d feel nothing at all. 

To been able to share myself mind body and soul with another for nearly two decades, my true other half should be enough, I tell myself. 

My twin flame, a relationship beyond any physical being. Someone who shares my sorrows as well as happiness, to think and feel exactly as I was incredible! 

Even at times nearly worlds apart a sudden random call to ask if I'm okay or to what's going on, what's wrong or what's right knowing life changing events were taking place without physically being able to share in the moment but a deep feeling, a knowing... a sixth since. 

Most go through their whole lives without ever experiencing anything close to this and I did, I his best friend soft place to land and he my protective rock.

Reapers Visit

Reapers visit

Warm salty tears dripping down my reddened cheeks.
Sadness and depression fill my barely beating heart, thudding so slowly I can't feel my own pulse.

Told I now Repulse, causes me to convulse tremoring violently, retch so much nothing but anger and disillusion come out, just a disgrace.

An entire life I have had happiness love and joy till my love my life twinflame died holding in bed sometime during the night.
Chest compressions only caused black blood to splatter my face. 

The cold stiffness that once was warm and soft his red skin now blue and lifeless this more than a crisis. Our love always limitless that once armored us licit love replaced with bitterness and bereavement.
Bestfriend died.
Suddenly taken away
Forever

Unconditional

Unconditional
Unconditional love always
Love for your children
Throughout eternity
Regardless all their mistakes
Bad decisions hurtful words too
They create joy
Love laughter
Years fears anxiety
Pride worry 
Forever and always
Unbreakable unwavering love
Despite immature actions and thoughts
They’ll always be your greatest achievement
Always
A parents love and devotion

Ghosts, Hosts With the Mostest

Ghosts, Hosts’ with the mostest 

 

In the House of the dead, Ghost's roam their home they once lived before becoming spirits. 

Crickets serenaded near their catacomb; Tree's creek buried deep in loam from the breeze. 

Serving Cores light and blue cheese balls to Fairies visiting from the mores. 

A Burmese python chasing mice on the splintering wooden floor. 

Gargoyle's crash through a trap door causing an uproar as witches with big sores riding brooms zoom down the fireplace. 

Unicorns give chase to Gryphon wearing lace around their chins. 

    A Golem and an Ogre sit quietly talking to one another giving off a stomach-churning odor. 

Centaurs fought a banshee shrieking so loudly cracked a marble column. 

 

Gnomes decided to make this place their home with the phoenix in the attic away from the combated Leprechauns living near their garden dome. 

 

 The host Ghosts bring out the last of the wine and served pickled swine having a fun time their orbs twinkling like disco balls down the halls.

Mental

Mental Frightening triggers to flood; No engulf my mind, my body, and then my soul! 

 Deep dark, forever following... Never-ending maze of despair! 

 Things scarier than a brutal death. 

 Things that make your worst nightmares seem like child's play! 

 Haunting memories, never forgotten I try so hard to bury it all. 

 But they flood up my mind as though they're a crested river. 

 Unable to speak, my anguish, when the words reach the tip of my tongue it makes all the pain, torment, and loss once again a reality.  

Some say I've gone mad. 

 Others say I'm so filled with hurt it makes me forever sad. 

 I try to force a smile, merely a teardrop falls in its place. 

 I know there is a hell, of repetition, torture; rinse, and repeat. 

 Hell, hath no fury, Fury would result in a quick demise, an end to this suffering... Now burnt into ash left without a trace.

Sad But True

Sad but true 

People are quick to judge, they see my tattoos, my personal art on a canvas of what was me before all the crap has drug me down to the deepest the depths, and yet I manage to always emerge from the pain, loss and heartache. The doc says I have PTSD and bipolar depression from it, although I somehow manage a smile to passersby even if it is fake, I attempt to make others days a little brighter. Drug addiction alcoholism couldn't even hold me down for long because I know I am better than that some days it's a struggle to force myself out of bed but in my head, I sing broken because I gather the shattered pieces and glue myself back together. Sad but true disturbed is my mind in my dreams just a little stronger every day. Purple haze smoke enters my lungs as I lay back listening to sitting on the dock of the bay wanting to be their pole and my toes in water, wondering what tomorrow holds!

Onslaught

Hey, I like Fast cars, I've lived agood life, wand the worst life like the one your waiting for.
 Time to grow up, be a man now the perfect life knocking at your door. It's just waiting for you.

I've been working on myself since seventeen  
Medicated on prozac xanax and clonidine first before I go out the door.
Taking orders getting pushed around by my own self no just I have a low self-esteem now.

Yeah, wake up, same clothes, off I go to hell again
Hustle to get money, sinking deeper when I'm tryin' to swim, so much loss I can't stop thinking about him..
I'm tired but I know a guy that has a cure for that
I'm wired, that's the only way that I stay golden, barely holding on. My ass always dragging.

Remember There's something more and your better than this.You need something better than this

Break out the prison of my habits. Always pulled a rabbit out of my fadora. Cuz my family I adore.
Don't take a bite of what kills you, honey.  fake friends they always be acting funny. Grind hard get that money racks in stacks and a mudered lack truck I stilettos.
It looks better that way to me
Than being stuck here in this ty house, I just watched a giant rat and a mouse fight for a piece of dog food sometimes you'll be working four jobs to make ends meet. Roman noodle soup no steak not any meat living broke to the bone. Broken in my soul. Mind melted from all the Ecstasy Bones brittle from bad genes sitting here thinking of everyone I have lost created this black hole

Yeah, I wake up, same clothes, off I go to hell again
Making money, sinking deeper to my abyss, when I'm tryin' to swim. 
your better than this son, your brighter than the sun gorgeous as your parents, strong and stubborn, you don't stop till you drop,  just like ole' Ma and well your pop bless him in heaven watching over you with your sis a bad ass mighty lil' Miss. 
Dad use to say I'm strongest person he's ever met. I'd saying he's the smartest ass I'd ever know... Funny as  he always left me awestruck 
 
I came here for something but can't remember, crying tears like rain. thinking of him.
Don't lose your sight get loud and put up a fight keep outsiders out and your family close remember stay tight you matter the most that we will always be and there to intervene. Whenever ya need.
keep relations private.
Recite the mistakes we've made so you never do the same, that'd be a shame. 
Remember I'm your Ma and I'll love you to my last breath then after death too... 
 Love you sugar britches all and forever

Dying In My Arms

Self-medicate to numb my pain really this  drives you insane. Loved one's tears fall like rain. Knowing they'll never see you again, not until judgment day. You were only trying to cure yourself, influenced pain. Trying to remember the better days it's just all a blurry haze, like your lost in an endless maze sorry, I couldn't be stronger to keep you from dying in my arms today.

Remembering a Random Moment

Getting lost in the pain.
Standing alone in the rain.
I feel I'm going totally insane.
Cover my face, try to hide my shame.
You were my partner, provider of incredibly trutrue love I have for ya.
I crave the scent and taste of you.
You my lover, complete devotion I show for you. Adore the way you smile at me.
I miss and cry for you.
Please pray, soon I'll be shown mercy, not long enough to live with out you, Ya my bestie. Lordie have courtesy.
Our love forever lasting, infinity beyond death even after I take my last breath.
Try hard to not be depressed, remind myself I had been truly blessed. By the way you would caresse the outline of my breast. 
Laying holding one another my head listening to your heartbeat upon your chest, my favorite headrest. 
Grey eyes smiling down on me... "OH damn," "God bless! " The top of my head your chin would rest. Captain with your beard of red. 
Saying " Hey sugar tits," I love you girlie"! 
Small things I now dearly miss. 
Until we meet again my love this isn't the end.
