- Wicked Sobering -

I am blue from the cold
And blue in mood
From the wicked sobering
Words of you.

Your words hold me
And make me cold to the bone
Shivering
Feeling the moan
Of the darkness that roams
My soul.

The coffers of pain
Lock me in to blame
For all that is wrong
Until I feel the shame
And the shackles of loneliness
Choke me insane.

If this is not enough
Then do it again
Show me your
Dark love.

- Nothingness -

I hide within
A mere shadow of myself
As time escapes
And my thoughts they taste
An emptiness that taunts
My mere existence
Of nothingness.

I cling to hold
To what
Never to know.

Nothingness
Again
Steals the show.

Behind it all
I build a wall
Fantasy
A world that's tall
That makes me crawl
Until I'm diseased
And caused to plead
Bleed
Into
Nothingness.

It's all around
And surrounds
It deafens
Crushes
And all I fear
Is the sound
Of nothingness.

I am swallowed.

- Paralysis of Life -

I find a loneliness
That aches in my heart
Passion to live
And no reason for
Paralysis of life
A key
Without a door
Where dreams are my past
And nightmares are the norm
In days of lost time
And nights are a tomb
For casualties of the forgotten
And bells toll for the doom
Clenching a rage
To uproar the soul
In a vengeance
That makes my mind
Out of control
Tearing my skin
Nails dig in
Clawing my heart
Banging the wall
And thrashing the halls
Blurring the vision
That cause delusion
Pupils are wide
Demons inside
Shaking begins
Pale is the skin
The red blends in
Sweat pours out
Wide mouthed
Convulsions
Screaming
A terror
That deafens
My mind
But no words
Ever
Come out.

- Tortured Souls and Lonely Hearts -

Tortured souls
And lonely hearts
Make desperate days
And lonely nights.

It's a curse
That calls me
From time to time
To face my demons
To push the envelope
To go over the line.

I wander aimlessly
Throughout the silence
Of the night
Without a reason
Or a season
To live for.

I throw caution
To the wind
Once I start
To binge
And hope
That the morning
Finds me
Alive.

I fill myself
With liquid poison
Until I'm numb
And become
Unconscious
From the demons
That always run
Up inside
My head
Where the angels
Kiss the face
Of death.

It's all
In a night's flight
Where lonely hearts
Crash and burn
