Mirror morgue

Haunted eyes stare through me,
Searching, longing, lost at sea,
Soundless cries echo within, 
A prisoner in her own skin.

Hidden traumas itch and gnaw,
While the circling buzzards caw,
hands wave from a waring mind,
As she leaves the world behind.

A glitched heart stained in pain,
Just three steps before insane,
Gritted sickness, snatch and grab,
A pretty present on a slab.

Stardust

Take me through what you desire,
Those memories that burn like fire,
All the qualities that you admire,
And all those dreams that backfire,

Walk me through all that pain,
Those monsters you tried to tame,
All those secrets that are aflame,
And all the demons you can't sustain,

Lead me through your darkened mind,
Those hidden boxes that you've designed,
All those issues you've yet to find,
And all the times that you were blind,

Show me how many times you tried,
Those quiet moments where you cried,
All those times you could have died,
And every moment you broke inside,

Walk me to the pits of your dispare,
Those people that pretended to care,
All those times into nothing you'd stare,
And every betrayal that left you unaware,

Lead me to that trap deep in your soul,
Those desires that are as black as coal,
All those chances you should have stole,
And every nightmare you can't control,

Now take my hand, let me show you,
That special light, shining through,
All those storms, yet stronger you grew,
Overcome and battle, it's what warriors do,
You have not an idea, not even a clue,
Your rarer than stardust, if only you knew.

Torture transaction

The attentive window sits bitter and alone,
As vindictive vines of envy become overgrown,
Darkened clouds fester, poisoning slowly within,
And discordant branches haunt before dreams can begin.

Resentful shadows form as the candid clock ticks,
Fettered to the rhythm and ready to transfix,
Smothered in indifference, deadened in distraction,
Trauma for tranquility, torture transaction.

Dragged from security as hateful hands clench,
And disfugured hopes comfort, discarded in the trench,
Tangible laughter mocks as teeth tear sanity,
And now, death echos loop, in search of humanity.

A matter of seeing

I sent a butterfly to tell you hello,
I sent you feathers within the winds that blow,
I whisper in your ear, when you're feeling blue,
Just to let you know, I'm always there for you.

I sent a bird to put a smile on your face,
I sent laughter, to remind, life's not a race,
I squeeze you ever so tight when you're down,
Just to remind you, I'll always be around.

I sent a bumblebee to lighten your heart,
I sent wishes in hopes nightmares would depart,
I walk beside you, as pride fills my being,
I am here, it's just a matter of seeing.
