In Myself, With Myself

Laying down surrounded by ice;
I try to sit up to get away,
I'm being held down;
I open my eyes and see myself,
Laying down on a concrete floor in the dark;
Eyes open in horror, body tense;
I try to raise my hand, reluctantly it follows command,
But my reflection twitches and doesn't follow suit;
I try to reach out to myself,
My hand is blocked by an invisible barrier;
I try moving it but fail;
I beat against it but nothing gives;
Claustrophobia grips me like a beast, suffercating, unyielding;
I scream but nothing comes out,
No relief, no surrender, no help;
Trying to calm myself and think clearly,
The entity gripping releases,
A monster relaxing its sharp-tipped fangs,
Revealing torn flesh and blood;
I try to tell myself that it isn't real,
Trying to wake up from this horrible slumber I'm in;
"You're dreaming!", I repeat over and over again,
"You just need to wake up!";
I open and close my eyes,
No hope;
It's not a dream,
Not now, not ever;
So I'm here,
Cold, alone, and muted;
To myself,
In myself, with myself

The Heartbreak Choke

You dont see it coming

no one ever does

but its only a swallow away

so count them silently

and hold them dear

because the next one comin

you should fear

you will know when it comes

and know so clear

that this one coming

is your last

because heartbreak grabs you

hard around your throat

and there is no way to escape

so you just choke

and you can wish for death 

and it's not coming

and that my friend is

The Heartbreak Choke

I Didn'T Get To

I didn't get to see your sweet face
I didn't get to feel your embrace
I didn't get to hear your cry
I didn't get to say goodbye

I didn't get to call you by name
I didn't get to rejoice when you came
I didn't get to show you beautiful things
I didn't get to hear you sing

I didn't get to show you new places
I didn't get to show you new faces
I didn't get to see your smile
I didn't get to have you stay a while

I am sad with all these things I didn't get to do. But I feel blessed with the one thing I did get to do, was love you.....
Goodbye my little one, just know that you are loved....and missed.

Unwanted Nightmare

Dream that plays as if from a horror flick;
Images fly forward,
Things hidden and not wanted;
It plays through and I wonder,
Is this what my heart wants,
What it yearns for inside;
It's too late, too impossible,
It's only the past,
Coming to haunt me,
Torture me inside,
With regrets;
The time wasted together,
the times I held,
sacred, dear and ones that that lasts forever;
I wish I could erase it,
Pour bleach into my brain,
Burn it out, wash it away,
So I wouldn't look at him,
and think of you;
He's not you,
Never will ever,
And for that I'm grateful;
What we had wasn't good,
But it could've been better;
And you ended it with her,
Worse than me;
But I know it's your life,
Your choice and mistake;
I can't say I love you,
But I definitely can't say I don't;
So just go away,
Fade into the abyss,
Like you were never here,
Because it kills me inside;
And I'll leave this alone,
This unwanted nightmare

Your Love

My heart cold, dead, and broken
My soul much like a broken, lucid sky
My days always gray and gloomy
Until suddenly there was something unexpected
A spark to liven my heart
A burst of constant sunshine in my clouded sky
My days seemed brighter
And this sudden revolution that was
Your voice, and face
Your smile, and taste
Your tenderness, and touch
Your playfulness, and rough
Your craziness, and calm
But most glorious of all
Your uncontrollable, undeniable love

Thank you baby, for all that you've given me, when all I needed was love.

My Life

While voices surround me ringing out
Life like a tape recorder on fast-forward
I take a breath, try to see straight
I let it all go, roll off me
Like rain on a windshield without wipers
Voices start to fade
The pounding silences
Rain subsides
I can live again
My life

What Once Was

Inside, so warm and loved
cherished from day one
joy filled the heart and spilled over
a cup overflowed

Every moment was happiness
all new experiences
all new delights
even new pains
every bit was a level of adoration

But everything could go wrong and that it did
once where there was love and excitement
was now pain and fear
crimson was the color
and loss was it's game

There was no stopping it
and no sign of warning
it came rapidly
quick as a thought
and more terrifying than a monster
with eyes glowing red
skin of darkness
razors for teeth
smiling at it's prey

Tears fall
with them making a river of suffering
so close to death but not dying
a tiny soul was taken
away from inside
to never exist again

Now this vessel is barren
as a tundra
with no warmth
no rejoice
only agony and longing

Memories never to be made 
emotions never to be felt
only the bitter taste
of what once was
my little angel

Tearing Apart

Torn from the thoughts of yesterday
Torn from everything i thought I loved
Torn from a love that I thought was true
Sealed shut with lonely, scattered, depressed fears
Sewed up with the needles and threads
Made up of confusion,  hunger, lost, and pain
Scared of new love and thoughts
Moving rapidly into my path of nothingness
I want to feel again
I want to feel real love
I want to feel the closeness
That's the hunger of my heart
But who am I to expect this
From someone whose heart's been harmed
I feel the sadness that lurks there
You remind me everyday
The more I ask of you
Is not my place
But I will hold on
No matter how badly the stones of sadness hit
I will resist
No matter how shattered my heart gets
I will wait
For you to let me in
Love you with the fullness of my heart
And I will not hate

Lost

There is nowhere to go
Life like a maze
Almost every turn a dead end
Is there no way out
Why am I here
The lowest level of hell
I'm cold and numb
I can't find my way back
Lost

Truely Me

Without the warmness of your heart
Without the closeness of your soul
Without the sweetness of your touch
I am without the essentials of life
I feel cursed, alone, and desolate
My heart slowly starts to come to a silence
My soul slowly slips away into darkness
My skin becomes cold and solid
Feelings start to dull and feel numb
I scare the ones around me that love me
To save them I put on my mask
They see the empty happiness, carefreeness, and peace
When under that mask its like a negative picture
I am empty inside myself never to be whole
I will never be truely me
