Silver Kiss

His kiss was death
not life, the chains
and dungeons of a nightmare.
Against the free dream-
smell of salt air.
So here I am
stuck in the mud
created by tears of crimson
emptied painfully and 
an overactive mind.
But death to the mind.
The air slipping away,
suffocating.
The darkness all around.
Disgustingly brilliant.
Yet I walk away
leaving my body 
in the dirt.
Buried alive.

Weak

My body cries
crimson tears.
I wasn't strong enough
to fight my fears.
As the wounds
continue to bleed
the pain in my heart
begins to feed.
Now as the pain
begins to end
with my remaining strength
I crawl into bed.
As my heart slows
I feel at peace.
My breathing stops
forgive me, please.

Can'T Say No To You

Under your spell
with every look you give me.
Crave my heart
and it's bleeding in your hand.
Should I feel like I do?
I can't say no to you.
I shouldn't have let you
conquer me completely.
I don't want to feel
anymore for you.
If only I knew how
to pull myself apart.
I can feel you in my dreams
even though I don't sleep.
you torture me so sweetly.
I can't breathe but I feel.
I begin to drown in my pain.
Should it hurt to love you?
I dream in darkness
For you I sleep to die.
I'm not afraid to dream, sleep forever. 
I shouldn't have let myself
love you so deeply.
I can't say no to you.
You'll never know the way
You have haunted me.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
If you ask this of me
I will go with you.
I can't say no to you.

Can It Be Love?

Can you love someone
you have never seen.
Only to lose them but now wonder
what could have been.

Can you say you love someone
who you havn't talk to in years.
And now that you might have a chance
Hesitate because of your fears.

Can you say you love someone
when you tore out their heart
and in front of their eyes
made a brand new start.

And I do love him
or so I say
because i think about him
each and everyday.

Yet as i sit here thinking
while looking at the heavens above
I can't help but ask
Am I really in love?

Too Late

Pay Attention
and you shall see
the light that shines
inside of me.
Look closer
in my eyes
where all emotion
in me lies.
But you were elsewhere
and you were blind.
You never saw
the pain in me climb.
Look at me now
after all the pain.
After all the clues
I gave you, in vain.
And now, see me
as I say goodbye.
It's too late now as I lay here and slowly die.

Transformation

One form by day
Another by night
That is the way
Of a full moon's light

The mind slipping
Bringer of death
The flesh ripping
And bad breath

Felling shivers
from the pain.
Fear of silver
And wolf bane.

Howl in the night
Maybe two
A love for the chase
Are you a Fool?

Untitled

I came home from school
excited about my day.
My smile disappears
as I see you in the doorway.
your once light skin
now black and blue.
Oh, mommy, what happened to you?
I go into my room
and put my backpack down.
Then daddy comes in
wearing a frown.
I didn't do anything wrong
why are you yelling at me?
Oh how I love you
that's why I don't flee.
i don't understand why
you do the things you do
but every time you hit mommy
your hurting me too.
After your done
releasing your frustration
you leave mommy on the floor
crying in desperation.
With me tucked in a corner
My hands over my ears
trying to block out
what I've been hearing for years.
For the next few years
mommy has to stay inside
but I'm older now
and i no longer want to hide.
But it is inevitable
I'm afraid of what people might do
if they knew the truth.
Daddy, I don't want to lose you.
But why do i feel
like it's too late
like I've already lost
the battle with fate.
I love you Daddy
but I've had enough
Even though it's hard for me
i have to be though.
So pack your bags
And leave your keys
i can't let you hurt us anymore
So just leave us, please.

Own World

Inside my mind
there's a dark room
where I retreat
and take my gloom.
No one can reach
me in my room.
It's where my fears
begin to bloom.
It's where I scream
laugh and begin to cry.
It's where my dreams
wake up and fly.
I've found the key
that fits the door,
but it's too late
I'm on the floor.
I'm not crazy
just insane
but you say
it's all the same.

Fright

Born of blood

king of night

eyes that glow

with unreal light

Garbs of black

Hues of red

Eyes like coal

That make you dread

Predator eat pray

Cycle of life

Are you afraid

To come out of the light?

Feelings

My mind has been invaded
with thoughts of you.
Words escape me whenever you are near.
My heart becomes a hummingbird
with just one of your smiles.
You have become the light at the end
of a Monday thru Friday tunnel.
My world has been turned 
upside down and inside out.
All because I can't stop thinking 
I can't help but try for your attention,
even when it seems to fail.
I can only hope that I can one day
Bring up the courage to tell you
how I feel, this jumble of emotions.
