UselessI need something to get this ticking out of my mind.
Not love or lust.
I'm in need of no friend or foe.
My enemies despise who I've become.
I used to smile and laugh.
A butterfly of the social life.
My world has darkened and I have submerged myself within it's shadows.
There's no light here.

The ticking has made me numb.
I can no longer feel.
I'm no longer human.
Was I ever?

Emotions are nothing to me now.
Just ink on a fading page.

There's nothing left to give.
Nowhere to hide my pain.

This creature I've become has eaten at everything I love.
Burnt walls and crooked window panes.

I'm nothing now.

TemptationTemptation.
I've never been one for it.
Never gave it a second thought.

My Mother warned me not to go into the shadows.
Only danger would welcome me there.

But his scent; so sweet like honey couldn't be denied.
I'm helpless near him.

Find someone who'll take care of you.
But this man will.
He's made promises he swears to keep.

Take care of me.
Protect me from harm.
Keep happiness in these eyes.

He screams about the world and it's misguided ways.
My Mother tells me to watch out, he has a temper.
My love will never hurt me.

The wars are raging.
The lies are being spun.

He's decided there's no other way to keep me out of harm

ColorlessHelp me.

I think I'm alone.
The darkness has swallowed me whole.
I can no longer hear cries that mirror my own.

I fear I'll fade into the shadows that I am submerged into.

My mind has lost the ability to remember.
I had an image I held so dear; it has faded too.
I know there were soft whispers and words meant to make me whole.
Those too have gone, leaving me with nothing but a feeling of despair.

I used to be so vibrant; I'm colorless here.

The BeginningThe seed was sowed
Now the time of mowing

Anticipating
Waiting

Roaming in the room
Smoke dulling anxiety

A new journey about to begin
A proud moment about to come

Somewhere near, a cry is heard
A new tree shrieks from the veils and bursts out
But the old flower wilts

All I knowPlease don't touch my skin.
I fear it might break beneath your fingers.
I'll crumble into ash, into nothing.

I'm helpless near you.
I hopeless romantic.

I've never been one to get nervous.
You send me into a shaking frenzy.
Why do you do this to me?

I need you like I need air.
Your words feed me like I am a child.
Your promises like rain.
Don't let up.

Lace your fingers in mine.
We'll dance until the sky is filled with promises of the dawn.
Pay no mind to the words of discouragement.
They mean nothing to me.

You are my every second of every minute, of every hour of everyday.
You're all I know.

LamplightAs I walk through the forest
And the sticks start to crack
Under my feet, as I walk
Not once looking back

The air is quite humid
My face is quite damp
From the swarms of insects
Flying near the shine of my lamp

They don't know where they're going
As their face hits the glass
But more keep on coming
Every tree that I pass

The soil was dying
The plants long forgotten
With roots that looked shriveled
And far worse than rotten

The smell is so pungent
The odor filling my nose
With every new wave of the stench
The insects' swarm grows

The light from the lamp
Compared to the expanse of the dark
Was like going on a journey
U

I don't understand honey...What?
I don't know what you're talking about honey
When you go on and on about all the bad shit you see
Every word you speak is leaking
leaking of sorrow
leaking of pain
I don't see it like that hun'
'Cause all I see is the good times we had
I see your smiling face
'cause you beat me in this game too
I hear your laughter
and teasing words
as I'm being all silly again
I feel your arms around me
as you pull me closer
in a hug to make me feel safe again
'cause you've scared me with that spider-thing again
All I see is smiling faces and sparkle-eyes
All I hear is a laughing couple sharing the secret of love
All I feel is butter

I pity herI pity her.

The girl with the pale white skin.
Her lungs empty.
Still heart.

Her hands are placed on her stomach.
A notion she never would have done.

Her lips are coated in red that she never would have wore.
Expression content.
Emotionless as it was while she were living.

Death is another story in itself.
A chapter she never would have opened.
One she never had begged for.

Until it were too much.
The laughter and lies.
Poking and prodding like a knife.

I've never looked so pitiful.
Maybe now they understand.

My sweet marionetteHow are you tonight, my love?
The floor is cool enough for your warm feet?
Have the accommodations been satisfactory?
This is my home.
You are my guest.
Yet you treat me as though I am a stranger.
I care for you, can't you see?
My apologies.
I seem to have forgotten where I laid your eyes.
They told me not to play with puppets on strings when I was a child.
Said dolls weren't proper.
But you, my sweet, aren't like the others.
I'm infatuated by what's left of you.
How submissive you have become.
It's easier when you are controlled, my dear.
No need to pout.
Or whine.
It's all just for fun.
You were made to please me.
That is your only purpose, my love.
For when I have grown tired of the games.
When your frame starts to decay.
I'll clean up your living quarters for the next one.
But I fear I cannot wait for that day.
You have grown old and worn.
Forgive me, my Marionette for pulling your strings too soon.

Willy WonkaI want to live in a world
Where rivers are made of chocolate,
And candy grows on trees.

I want to live in a world
Where everything is edible,
And Oompa Loompas run free.

I want to live in a world
Made of happiness and sugar,
And where all the mean kids disapear.

Love is FireLove is like Fire, Consuming, Unquenchable.

It will reach it's objective, no matter what is placed in it's path.

Time, Space, People, Things.

It will Burn away everything, until it reaches its Object.

Or, will Consume it self.

RelapseI'm weak...yeah been this way for weeks
Every night I quietly weep...and been getting no sleep
And I reek...Of the blood that from these wrist always leak
The cuts always hurt..but only you could hurt me this deep

I try to cover this pain with an act..
A fake smile.. A laugh..
But every time I see you.. It feels like I have been smacked

And I hate..just seeing you..happy..unfazed
When I'm here hurting.. just..dying...and hiding the tears from my face
And you act..like what we had was nothing to you
Am I the only one who remembers.. everything we have been through

The pain constantly haunts my mind...
Its always followed by the im

I KnowI know that you need space
Time away from everything
So you can find your place

I know that you still think about me
Some small thing we used to do may trigger a memory
Remind you of how things used to be

I know that you still care
You're good at hiding how you feel
But maybe something is still there

I know there are a lot of things you don't know
Life can be overwhelming
I'm sure you'll go far, though

I also know that you will always have a special place in my heart
We might not be together
Friendship may be a good place to start

ForgetYou remember nothing,
How my love for you in the end,
Was taken apart in front of my eyes.
I thought you were once my friend,
But now I understand the truth in your lies.

You think of me with such spite,
Why are you the one to tell me,
What is wrong and what is right?
Your passion was blind but I made you see,
I remember everything.

For you, my loveI dab my pen into the ink.
This is a love letter like no other.
Only for your eyes.

I will tell you of the adventures we shared.
The unknown depths we dared to delve into.
Sweet whispers held close to our hearts.
Oh, how I love your porcelain skin.

This is where the letter starts.

I'll continue with words of romance and endearment.
Things I've never shared.
You're the only one who'll hear them.
Don't ever tell.

I shall end pouring my heart out.
About the lies I've told.
Why I did this.

But you, my love will never read what I have written.
You no longer care like you did.
Your porcelain has shattered, leaving a mess upon the

Don't moveDon't move.

I want to remember you like this.
Always.

Your skin flush.
Eyes wide.
Mouth unable to speak.

You're mine now.
My helpless doll.

I've never wanted anyone so much.

You're better than the others.
A golden trophy among the silver.

I'll never let you fade.

Stay still.

I know it hurts.
The blood will stop soon.

A little pinch.
Another cut.
You smell so sweet.

I place my hand over your eyes to shield the light.
Your world will be dark soon.
It all will be.

Let go, my love.

Don't let me fallI'm looking down from a mountain.
One I am in control of.

I see the mistakes I've made.
The people I've hurt.
Pain I've received in return.

Your voice calls out from below.
Begging me not to go out like this.

I've hurt you in so many ways.
I'm not willing to allow what we have to be tainted.

You're mine and I am yours.
It will be this way forever.
If I have to die to make sure it never fades.

A painting on the wall.
Framed from the harsh world it is placed into.

That painting is us.

This was not your doing.
Every argument was my fault.
You were never wrong.

Just before I can say my goodbyes.
Let the world hear my sorrows.

Childhood

A child used to live here.
It's laughter still echoes through the empty rooms.
I see it's face through the dirty windows.

Play with me.

It's voice tears into me like falling from a mountain top.
I no longer remember how to play.

I've long put up my toys.
The swing set is decorated in cobwebs.
The shallow pool has been drained.

Faceless dolls sit along in the attic collecting dust.

Why won't you come outside?
It asks me in a whine.

Because I've been out there.
It's not as forgiving as it used to be.
The trees no longer hold wonders that I used to see.

The child was me.

I was so captured by this. Kind of spooky, but I love writing like that.

Thank you so much!

~RepellantArtist Aug 10, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

No prob

~chewyraezen Aug 10, 2012

it's interesting how you keep referring to the child as it instead of her. and then you say it was you. kinda packs an emotional punch. it's like you are detached from yourself. very intriguing.

~isitdarkenoughx Aug 10, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I am so relieved that I actually managed to get you to feel the 'emotional punch'. I was really aiming for that. Very humbled by this comment. Thank you.

~chewyraezen Aug 10, 2012

you sure did. right to the gut.

~Bytebullet Aug 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Very nice piece! I really like it!
