Him and I

I wandered through the semi busy streets filled with pedestrians as they hurried out of the rain. I continued on with no destination in mind ,no umbrella to shield myself from the frigid elements.  My eyes glazed over lost in my own world. 

"You'll get sick if you stay out in the rain."

A soft cold voice said breaking me out of my daze. 

I looked up and saw him. 

Tall lean built body clad in tight leather pants tucked into tall black boots buckled up the sides. A fishnet top clung to his frame revealing toned abs , pectorals and broad shoulders. Well defines sculpted muscles earned from years in the gym and street brawling. Over that he wore an open black leather vest. Around his neck he wore a cross pendent attached to a silver chain wrapped around his neck twice. A cigarette dangled from soft pale pink lips that promised sweet sensual kisses or vicious words that could tear you apart. A strong chin led to a firm stubborn jaw line, high cheekbones ,smooth forehead covered by thick messy red blood red bangs. My hands itched to brush them away as they fell into harsh cold azure eyes that put the sky to shame.

There he stood leaning against the chaining fence hands in his pockets. Him in his 6 ft 2" glory with a body that promised sinful, forbidden pleasure to anyone who saw it. He oozed untamed vitality and raw sexuality. His emotionless face and frigid azure eyes revealed nothing of his thoughts and projected coldness. 

A bad boy, a walking sex symbol, an Adonis in all his glory. 

Rai. 

I said nothing as he held my gaze. I said nothing as he pushed himself off the fence and walked with predatory grace towards me. I said nothing as the freezing rain seeping through my clothes finally registered to my brain. I said nothing as he stood in front of my shaking form.  I said nothing as I looked up at the man who showed me taboo, raw sinful pleasures. The man who made my body burn and go numb at the same time.  The man who once whispered sweet nothing's and painful truths in my ears. 

He dropped his cigarette and stomped it his gaze never leaving mine. He touched my cheek gently stroking my cold pale flesh with his finger tips.  I leaned into the touch,  my hand holding his against my face, eyes half lidded. The heat pooled into the pit of my stomach and filled my being. Blocking out the cold, the emptiness, the pain leaving sweet nothing in return.

This man was my angel and my destruction wrapped into one. I should stay away it will only lead to pain for us both.  He leaned down to me his lips inches from mine, hot breath fanning my face. 

"Shall I let you forget again. Even though this will only hurt us more?"

His voice so emotionless to everyone else but me. Only I  hear his passion, his pain, his hope.

We would regret this later , we would hurt each other just because we can't have what we want. Though I just can't bring myself to care at the moment as I closed the distance.  
Our lips met in a chaste kiss. A ghost of a touch promising so much more.

"Yes and I shall do the same for you."

With those words said he claimed my lips in a fierce fiery kiss that took the strength from my legs. Yes we would only hurt each in the end but tonight we'll spend in dark forbidden passion.  We're going to hell him and I but we just don't care.

The Fallen Solider

As she stands there looking at you
she remembers when your eyes
Were bright and filled with life
Filled with a qiuet strength
The heart of a warrior who yeilded to no man
She remembers a solider ready to brave the battle of life
A solider who stood above all adversaries
A knight who defened his love to the death
she remebers you charging in to the battle of Judgement Day
Fighting through enemies and friends alike
Everytime you fell she caught you and beg for you to stay 
To end it but her solider continued to fight 
Through fire blizzards and storms mortally wounded with each blow
Yet her solider fights on
The battle intensifies the sky turned black 
The clouds shed tears of blood on the warriors below
Nature itself contorts into a mass of twisted dejected souls
As hell rained down all around you engulfing you in its dark twisted mist 
Filled with howls of the damned
As the fire dies and black mist recedes
She see's you now kneeling alone a battered defeated solider
Back stiffened by harsh realites
Your shoulders sagging but rigid under the crushing burden you carry
Torn an stained hands your soul broken 
Her solider who endured all till you can't anymore
The hounds of hell rise again screaming and twisting
Ready to devour your very exsistance
She runs to you unafraid across oceans valleys and mountains
Crosses through heaven straight into hell
To catch you in her arms in a way to sheild you from the demons and hurt you face
Your princess from above willing to die with her
Defeated solider in the bowels of hell
Ready to sacrifice her life to hold you through the end of yours
Her Defeated solider who won her heart

Lost Child

She feels so lost so left behind
So forgotten the empty agony of it
Feels as if its literally crushing her into the ground
She can feel the shackles
On her wrists, ankles, neck and waist
Bounding her inside

She comes to this house feeling like
A prisoner on death row
But the pain never stops
The torture just drags on till she feels like she cant breathe
There is nothing more that she desires but to be free
She tires of these faceless walls 
Of this empty house
She tires of being treated like a speck of a person 
She tires of playing in a game where no one plays fair
She carries this unfulfilled weight on her soul

She's in isolation 
Stuck in a cage left behind
watching the world go by trying,
Fighting so hard to get out to reach out to someone
yet when she attains brief glimpes of freedom 
its as if everyone and everything 
Around her as grown past the point of needing her
Its like she barely exsists anymore
she feels herself slipping fading away 
Until she's nothing more than a shadow
How long she vanishes all together 
Into nothing more than a haunting melody on the winds

Lonely Road

Here i am a lone soul walking along this lonely road
I dont remember where it started 
I cant see where itll end
all i see is this long empty expanse before me
I started with friends but one by one they vanished till only i remained
just one soul on this lonely road
I come to a fork in the road the cross roads of my life
I dont know if i should go to the right or left
I see you coming from the left
You've been torn and bruised from your choices
Humiliated and hurt by those you trusted
You see me I look at you
Neither speaking but telling our stories with our eyes
I smile at you and hold out my own bruised and dirtied hand
You smile through your tears and take it
We continue down this empty wasteland
Just us two lonely souls 
Till the end or till one disappears?
We dont know but on we'll go till...........
Who Knows?

With An Without You

when i was with you there were lies
when i was with you there were tears 
when i was with you there was your insecurity
when i was with you a razor was my best friend
when i was with you there were abusive blows
when i was with you there was hate and malice just wishing it would end
without you there is darkness
without you life is an infinte abyss
without you there is no light to show me the way
without each other we cant face another day
and so we cant be with or without the other
both of us souless monsters destroying more of each other 
never letting go
both sealed to a never ending cycle till one
or both of us pull the trigger

Kill Me

Kill me now decide my fate
Kill me now release me from this state
kill me now take the pain away
Bless me with this sweet mercy

Kill me now take the curse life is
Give me rest give me peace
Give me back my soul to keep
let me sleep the sleep of the dead
bury me away in a casket
lay dying roses by my head

Take my arm and take me to hell
Even in the pits of hell where my soul will for eternity burn
is paradise to  the one in which my soul now dwells

Kill me noe set me free
please kill me now  for i am already dead 
dont you see

For Her

Mother......
Im sorry for the wrongs i've done against you
Though you cant prove just what that is
I'm sorry for not being the child you wanted
Though i have tried
I'm sorry for taking away the life you so desired
Though it was no fault of my own
Im sorry you are ashamed to call me blood
As i am ashamed to call you mine
Im sorry for the tears i've shed to your embarrassment
Those I wish i could hide
Im sorry that i was your obligation
When i should've been your priority
Im sorry for not being perfect
Like the sister you seem to worship
Im sorry for ever being born
If only i could've turnt back the hands of time to my own undoing
Im sorry you cant understand me
For i wish not to understand you
Im sorry for begging pleading screaming for affection 
Knowing all i would get was your rejection
Im sorry you want me to be something im not 
Something i woulndn't change for any one
I know know that you'll never accept me as i am
I know that i will never change for you
I know there is no place for me in your home much less your heart
For me to have stayed and continued
this sick twisted game
To see how much of a masochist i could be to myself
to see the pure sadistic pleasure i could derive from bleeding you dry
well now the game has ended
and im not sorry to say
this is goodbye
I know we have always been worlds apart
