Desperate scratchings
left in a blank expression.
Confused smile
carved into the face of ages
weathered...
tired...
(bored)
of bearing witness to the passing aeons.
Repressing chaos
Provoking that same power you are trying to tame.
Losing your eyes to the reflection...
Peicing together
words.
prayers.
questions.
why...?
why anything.
NO ONE LEFT TO SCREAM MY CONFUSION AT.
no one left in a room full of people.
No one listening.
waiting.
just waiting
for my screams to shatter the silence.
but no one knows me well enough
to hear it echoing
beating savagely
taking, embracing, reshaping
the emptiness inside.
mold it into shadows that understand
slipping through the night to sleep at my side.
mocking the emptiness beside (inside) me.
cd's over.
heart skips a beat.
waiting. hoping.
for what...
voices.
real or imaginary.
someone to play with.
(toy)
a freakish birdcall.
a little early at 2:20 am.
oh... pulsing bass.
oozing hatred with a voice divine.
mourning... fate.
unhappy coincidence.
(FATE)
I mourn nothing
but the emptiness...
the silence...
Taking nothing
and regretably untaken
*bitch bitch fucking bitch*
Glimpsing frames of others "precious moments"
Afraid to close my eyes
to dream
of forbidden fruits.
(juicy)
(delicious...)
forgotten.
Head held high in disgrace
I will stumble
my way
into nothing.
through nothing.
fearing (praying)
that a hand will peirce the night
and deliver me my end.
choke the breath from this burden.
excess baggage.
fighting not to remember where the razorblades are hid.
already imagining the
pure
blinding
sensation
of splitting skin.
(shed. deny. defy.)
cry.
