Paige Meserve Poem
In the darkness of night the spirits come out to haunt,
seeking the people whose sins burden their death,
to cause them the anguish that abides in the hells in which they know,
they seek to purge their every thought,
and darken their every dream...
And oh how they succeed in weaving horror through their bones,
spinning fear through their veins,
and sowing the threads of terror through their souls...
Sobs and cries are wrenched from their throats,
while their bodies are doused in sweat,
from the writhing those spirits did cause,
That agony that their nightmares house,
tears to shreds the heart that stays their being,
and skewers the mind in which relies their sanity,
The haunting voices chime in deadly rhythm,
'YOU deserve this pain,
YOU deserve this grief,
YOU deserve no heaven,
YOU even deserve no hell,'
'The place you deserve is darker,
the place you deserve is more wretched,
there are the eternal screams of those who perished with innocence,
there are the eternal whimpers of those who still live marked by evil,
there the ground is an endless sea of blood,
there the air is the smoke of despair,'
They whisper and sneer their haunting melody,
until the dawn finally breaks,
casting light upon the land,
But to those who know the extent of the darkness,
no moment will pass without purged thoughts,
no night will pass with out darkened dreams,
to those who know the depth of sin,
no light will ever shine...

Paige Meserve Poem
In my eyes drifts a sea of blue,
as I stare at the endless sky,
all the clouds I see show me a picture of you,
My heart begins to ache,
and as I reach up to wipe the tears away,
my hands start to shake,
They try to grasp the memories,
reaching for the happiness seeping away,
but they give up so I sink down onto my knees,
You gave me your heart,
that summer of unbridled passion,
I don’t even know where to start,
Making love under the stars,
your kisses fueling my lust,
or watching the romantic sunset from the back seat of your car,
To my soul you found the key,
unleashing my desire,
I begged you to never leave me,
But your lips covered my own,
then reached deep inside,
promising you would never leave me to be alone,
I believed you,
didn’t question at all,
and as the days went on our love grew,
Grew and grew until that night,
the rain pounded the roads,
diminishing all the light,
They found your car on the side of the highway,
when they gave me the call,
I didn’t know what to say,
The man told me the last thing he said,
before his heart stopped beating,
before his breath was choked red,
He said “tell her I love her,”
then his mouth was wordless,
and no longer in his eyes emotion did stir,
For months I was in shock,
comforting my soul,
which was now a keyless lock,
And even now though over a year has passed by.
I sit in this wistful field,
and all I can do is cry,
But now my image walks farther and farther away,
from your grave in that meadow,
where my heart will always stay...
