I haven't a purpose
I haven't a life
I'm merely a vessel
Full of anger and strife
I don't have a reason
I'm blind to the light
I no longer care
I'm done with the fight

EMBRACING THE DARK

Under the moon
Late, late at night
The world is in silence
I sit in starlight
I think of my past
And the mistakes I have made
The people who've hurt me
And the love I have craved
I've given my soul
And gifted my heart
Devoted to those
Who've torn me apart
I've wished many wishes
And dreamed many dreams
I've picked myself up
When I've been drowning in screams
I've never experienced
A true loyal love
I've been used and forgotten
I'm never enough
Now sat in the silence
Alone in the night
The moon my companion
With stars in my eyes
My soul is in pieces
My heart shattered shards
With tears flowing freely
I'm embracing the dark

NOT A DREAM

A never ending nightmare
Deep sleep or wide awake
A wall of shadowed darkness
I pray release, my soul to take
Alone and lost in emptiness
The echoes of the dead
Head full of broken memories
And of words we never said
The sharpened tongue, the tortured hum
Raw pain so clear to hear
Cracked, bleeding heart so damaged
Its gentle beat tainted with fear
A war inside a fragile mind
Two halves of the same soul
A bitter fight, a brutal slay
Both with the same end goal
This life so very wasted
Existence is a hurtful class
A tiptoe through the shadows
Each footstep cuts like glass
Under your breath, a silent wish
You know to never scream
Eyes hollow, full of blackened tears
Life's a nightmare, not a dream

So alone
She's drowning
Toxic thoughts
Are crowning
Prayers for death
She's pleading
Broken soul
Keeps bleeding
On her knees
She's crying
Screaming pain
It's slicing
Shattered glass
She's finished
The cuts are deep
Diminished
