Through the Eyes of a Maniac

Her world is black. Dark,dismal,depressed.
She sees through the eyes of a maniac. Not a killer,but a twisted mess.
She is damaged. Torn apart at the very core of her soul. She is me, and I am her.

She desperately wants to end this charade. This bleak excuse for a life. That light at the end 
of the tunnel seems to beckon her to come. But there is one single thing that keeps her 
clinging to this existence. That keeps her from becoming a part of that light.

Her name is Avaya. An angelic little girl with hair like fire,eyes of the deepest blue skies ,and 
a laugh that lights up the deepest,darkest places in her mind. She seems to be the very 
breathe of life, the only life jacket in a sea of a hundred thousand miles. 

The little girl is there with her once again and she is plunged into a different world. A world of 
incredible beauty. Here she feels loved. Accepted! This is where she belongs. The little girl 
will forever have her heart. Forever be her heart. "Mommy loves you baby! Please stay here 
with me!"

But in an instant everything begins to fade. She can feel the little girl being ripped from her 
arms. She desperately clings to her heart, but it is torn away from her, along with all the 
great feelings that she thought would last forever.

Back in this maniacs mind, she sees the light. She must fight to keep herself from it. From 
becoming one with the end of her existence. For she knows that her little angel will once 
more come and save her from this life, if only for a second. So she shrinks into the darkness 
and stares through the eyes of a maniac, waiting for her heart to return.

Lonely Day

sitting alone, inside my head
wishing these lonely thoughts were dead
i realize there is only one way
to put an end to this lonely day

a blade in my hand a tear in my eye
as i think of a million reasons to die
my mind is warped my heart is gone
cant think of a reason to carry on

i hold the blade against my skin
ill never see this wicked world again
a flick of the wrist it happens so fast
its time to let go of everything in the past

i take my last breathe as i think of my life
no longer will i deal with the pain and the strife    
as i draw to the end of my very last day
i have only one thing left to say

goodbye............
