THEM
Two walking contradictions
To stubborn to bend on their convictions
Both lost, but both know the way
Both closing their eyes
As they pass each other by
Causing fate to hang it's head and cry
The invasion of the lonely
Makes them ignorant of their rarity
Both walking oxymorons
He, the calming chaos,
Her, the beautiful mess
As they drift in the sea of nothingness
Failing to realize they are so much more, no so much less

Tara Foster Poem
DEVOID
Walking wounded on a desolate road
My only companion coursing through my veins
And so much pain that I don't feel a thing
I've never hurt this much
Desperately yearning for any kind of touch
I hold hands with the devil
How did I ever get to this level
Like pulling a bullet from your chest
And falling in love with the lead that it left
Everything is upside down
Spinning circles on a broke down Merry-Go-Round
Closing your eyes you pull the blankets over your head
Knowing that come morning you will wish you were dead
There's no sense in trying to run
You know the agony that is sure to come
You can hear them gathering round
It's an unmistakable sound
You cannot even fathom the torture they shall put you through
Beg for it all you want because not even death is coming to save you

Tara Foster Poem
When loneliness settled in my bones
Bound by chains formed by tears that turned to stone
Here comes a familiar face
But he's no hero or saving grace
He is charming and dresses to kill
He is proof the devil is real
He knows what my defense are down
He hears my screams, although I make no sound
More times than not I shut down his show
But this time my lonely won't let him go
In deafening silence I long for any song
The need to feel anything I play along
My grief hangs my heart on every lie
Desperation makes me ok with the evil in his eyes
In the brightest pitch black I will play the fool
It's times like these that any devil will be
