Remembering

Her soul bounds,
Looking for her ecstasy
Bound by chains,
Her flesh stinging,
Her blood boiling,
Her body,
Oh,
Her body,
How battered and unchanging
Aching for change
For that forgien tingling,
For her rocking body,
For her outcries, to stop

She aches
And she cries
For that filling warmth
For oddly,
She has lost her top,
Tumbling into insanity,
Looking back at what she has gained,
An ecstasy unlike others
Rotating,
Groaning,
Remebering

Remembering
That touch
That warmth,
Oh,
She bounds
She's done
She can't
She hurts now,
Full of longing
And full of sorrow

She wishes
Now she cries,
Searing,
Tingling,
Stinging,
And boiling,

She was left alone,
To forever ach and remember,
Her mind,
Her thoughts,
Becoming ever so vile,
Becoming her worst fears,

This is her life,
Rememberance,
Forever an enemy,
Binding her to shackles,
As she listens to those hideous taunting cackles

Scars

She jests at scars,
That never knew war.
She fights her battles,
From behind bars,
Locked away,
Far from day.

Nobody remembers real pain.
Those locked away are numb,
Only ever seeing the rain,
Feeling the drops
Aiding with their thoughts.

Her past still haunts her.
She's left to ponder,
Why others never want her?
Why it takes a while,
Just to see her smile?

Those laughs in the distance,
Would soon be her ending.
For,
She jests at scars,
That never knew war.
She ponders,
Why others never want her?
Why it takes a while,
Just to see her smile?

Why she can't have her happily never after?

Swords, Songs and Tattoos

Her sword glides,
Slicing through scorned hearts.
Change is seen only in my eyes.
Gold fills the hilt
Seething the rage of past abusers

Her song sighs,
Placing spells upon an old fool
She's hiding lies
Stars of which man's imagination built
Lying in the eyes of her beholders

Her tattoos,
Mezmerize her prey
All she loves hides
The grass in which flows claims her,
Pulling her,
Tying her to her damnation,
Placed in the hands of men

Her sword,
Broken

Her song,
Cracked

Her tattoos,
Powerless

Now she is nothing,
Now, she slouches
Now, she cries
And now, she slices

He and She

He lies,
He cheats

He smiles,
ANd he beats

Those things,
Chain us to our feet
And lead us to defeat

She cries,
She weeps

She hides,
And she sleeps

These were the days
She lay there, deep in rays
Her darkness, forever paid

They fight
And they bicker

Flickering like a light
On a decreasing wicker

He lies
He cheats
SHe cries
And she weeps
In those days of darkness
They found defeat.

This Girl

This girl,
People try to demonize
Her beautiful eyes,
That bleed when she cries

This girl,
Trying to break her chains,
But she forgot the stains

This girl,
Replays good memories in her head
On;y she could see the times her wrists ave bled
Only she could her the names everyone had said

This girl,
Is afraid of the world
She tries to figure out what she has done
To deserve this

This girl,
Is something of rarity
Full of reluctancy and vanity

This girl,
People try to demonize

This girl,
Is me

Sweet Poisons

You whisper into my ear,
Sweet nothings that me go weak.
Then you look into my eyes,
With your mysterious gaze,
Causing you to touch my skin,
To feel the burning of our flames.
Caressing my body with a real love,
Then you kiss me with wet, rough lips...

As I feel your eager lips, our starving tongues indulging in their own lust.
Feeling your intoxicating poison...
Boiling through your blood,
Through your soul...

Your intoxicating poison...
Sweet nothings that make me go weak...

Anymore

Rage and Anger, 
Anger and Pain. 
What’s the difference anymore? 

Love and Passion, 
Passion and Lust. 
Do you love me anymore? 

Rage and Pain, 
Lust and Love. 
Are there any differences anymore? 

You hurt me, 
Yet you Love me? 

It pains you to see me hurt, 
But all you hold for me is Lust. 
Why don’t you really Love me anymore? 

High on Rage and Lust, 
Nobody wins. 
Everybody “Loves”. 
And nobody hurts. 

But everybody wins now, 
Simply because, 
I’m not there anymore.

Complete Darkness

It's my reality
That's not sugar coated by laughs and smiles
It's that complete darkness
When you've lost all control
That consumes your heart,mind and soul
It's that complete darkness
No vision
No lights
It's that complete darkness
_______________________

It's that complete darkness
No lights
No vision
It's that complete darkness
Always waiting
Always lost
It's that complete darkness
That consumes you
When you've lost all control
It's that complete darkness
That's not sugar coated by laughs and smiles
It's that complete darkness
That is my reality

Jump

Jump!
No don't!
We only hit a minor bump,
She said she doesn't want us,
Doesn't need us,
Doesn't love us

Jump!
No don't!
She said she hates us,
Loathes us,
Hurts us

Jump!
No don't!
I do,
I love you,
I care for you,
I need you
It's true
I'll catch you

I wish it could be true.
Jump!
There is no one there to catch you

I jumped,
He never was

Masquerades

“I’m sorry.” 
No, you’re not. 
“I love you.” 
No, you don’t. 

Like Masquerades, 
We hide. 
Our faces. 
Our truths. 
Nothing is real, 
Not even you. 
The masks we wear, 
They’re facades we play. 
They are not us. 

You aren’t sorry, 
Or you wouldn’t have hit me. 
You don’t love me, 
Or you wouldn’t resent me. 
This dangerous dance must end. 
For both our sakes. 

I cannot walk through life without knowing, 
Seeing, even. 
I need you, 
End these games. 
Love me, 
Do not hate me. 
Please, not like you do in the masquerades.
