Music in my soulIt's the music I now understand
Ignore it's message I now can't
I hear the music of the song
My mind hearing it along

The song begins, sounds play
The words in my mind still stay
Listen closely, listen good
The words finally understood

They come around, grab my soul
The words have reached their goal
My mind is depressed, I feel down
Upon my face an eternal frown

The sounds play with my heart
My moods always far apart
Sad now, happy a moment later
Both of each other the greater

Enjoy the music for the sound
It will make you jump around
Enjoy the music for the words
It's you soul it girds.

Only you have the key.
Only you can save me.
It all lies in your hands.
Can you be that knight
that ends all of my fright?
Hurry up!
I'm running out of light.
Once it turns night
my life will be gone.
Our friendships and laughs
will have meant nothing at all.
Will you dare try to save me?

ChildhoodA 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 Need a Love that Frees Me
Churning, burning, yearning,
empty love,
you twist me till I bleed,
why does my heart hurt so bad whenever I think of you,
you've got me if you want me
and I can't even fight it.

WaitingA few minutes too late
a couple hours too early

But what difference does it make
when you're gone

I'm tired of waiting

Reality checkyet another tear rolled down my cheek
it felt like acid, like it wanted to
smear the pain deep into my skin and
leave yet another scar.

(another broken promise,
another regret)

you said I was free to be who I want
to be but I know that's a lie. you want
me to be like you. your own personal
toy.

I live in my own little fantasy world
where my naivety knows no bounds. where
the suns always shines and bad things
never see the light.

(like a old memory;
the details ends up blurry)

but in reality a slip of the tongue
always turns into a fight, where I can't
win. where my own words get twisted into

ReminisceI wish my life had been better...
It's not, and it won't get any better from here.

If I hadn't joined the Dark Roses first
Maybe this would never have happened to me.
If I had never met Luthera Matelicia....

You have all this power
And you wish you never had it?!
How stupid are you?!

I never wanted to fight people
Who want to make a difference for the betterment of the populace.

I just want to stop looking like I am now.

Tough shit.
You made your choice
And now you're stuck with it.

You... You're right.
I made my choice.
But maybe....

Maybe what?!

Someday, I can leave this life of villainy behind
And live a life I've wante

Imperfection

She hears all the other girls
They talk about their boyfriends
They talk about their makeup and latest brands
They talk about their perfect lives

She can't help but laugh at their cliques
The boyfriends cheat for a more imperfect girl
The makeup cakes on and the clowns are reveled
Their lives are as imperfect as can be

She watches everyone inside and out
She notices most everyone has an imperfect relationship
She notices most everyone has an imperfect sense of style
She notices everyone has an imperfect life

She sees her life
It may look just like a life full of imperfections,
But having an imperfect story is the only
perfecti

Golden"You could do a lot better."
But
maybe
I don't want to.
Whilst you look for flaws
and failures,
I set those aside
and stare at what he really is.
Golden.

MoonlightWhen I look at the moon
I think of beauty
And the last few nights
While I've watched it's light
Reflect off the rippling water
I've thought of you
I'm unsure of what this means
Other than I am close
Close to finding you
But even when I do
You will not know
For I can't bring myself to tell you
And maybe this means
We're not meant to be
Because most certainly
You will never be
The one looking for me

Despair

Despair

We are but a human being
Some call us Vanity
Others look at us and say Envy
Red eyes of Wrath
Born with Lust
Hungry for Gluttony
Wanting Greed
And needing Sloth

We are but a black winged Demon
In nature and in heart
We gave our self away
In hope of silence
And the Hell we call Heaven
You know us as Despair
Greet us as wretchedness
With a smile we look back
And a tear that does not know its way out

We are but a Fallen Angel
A sad melody to put you to sleep
Our bitter sweet kiss on those lips
Tainted with Darkness
We've sunk so deep
So far so late and hopeless
We are needy and afraid
The sea is below us
And wha

VulnerableI am alone in my closet
between cardboard boxes
full of my belongings
I am packed away between them
hoping to disappear from the
notice of the residents just
like the boxes and furniture
I am not happy,
content,
sated,
or even smiling
I am empty
like the bucket with
many holes in the bottom
I am sad?
No, not sad, but something like it
tired?
sick?
depressed? maybe
a little of each? possibly
I feel, yet I don't feel
Numb?
Sensitive?
Both? maybe
I don't know my purpose,
just that there is one
I am a shell of a human being
a dying soul
a crying heart
a braking mind
a ghost of a shadow
and a shadow of the wind
I am nothing, yet something
a paradox?
an oxymoron?
I don't know
I am a creature without nurture
not knowing true familial love
only suffering under the
contemptuous gazes of my
"family"
I am a scapegoat
an excuse for abuse
a peasant to cast aside
encouragement? I don't really get it
I am sure of only one thing
sure that I am human
that I have feelings
that I have created and destroy

Burning passionBurning passion

I feel your hand, gently touching my skin
It takes me to a place I've never been
I feel your lips, kissing me deep
This feeling, forever I want to keep

I feel your hot body all over mine
For us, there will never be a line
I feel your breath taping my neck,
While my nails are deep in your back

I want to feel you, deep inside of me,
Just you and me and nothing else to be
I feel our bodies touching, sweaty and hot
We're making love, like it's our last shot

From the way you treat me, like a dove,
I can feel the passion, I can feel the love
Your hand's touch makes me shake
If this is a dream, I never want to wake

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

Trust is Not for the Broken-HeartedJust when I thought
things were finally okay between us,
you turned around and smacked me in the face.

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.

So, stranger..."So, stranger. I take it that if you've listened this far—well listened and watched—that you are on that highway. That you have a motorcycle beneath you humming like there's no tomorrow. "

I have. I've listened Ali, Listened like you told me to.

"I know what you're thinking. Why is a stranger trying to tell me to commit suicide? Why would I tell you to do that. If you need ask, then you're ready. You'll find out the answer soon enough."

What did she mean by that? I glanced around at the empty highway around me. Not one car or one person was here. Not at this time of night.

Was this when she did it?

"Listen. This moment is cruci

Price to payI leaned my forehead against the cool texture of the window. Knowing I wasn't allowed out of my room made this experience even better. How had I become so lucky to have someone like Alex in my life? What was it that I had done to receive such lenience? The cash, possibly? That had to have been a factor. I greedily took in a deep breath of the clean and cool air that filled the room. "Would you have considered it If it weren't for the money?" I turned my head slowly against the glass so that my eyes were on him now.

He had his back turned to me, his eyes on the many portraits of Jack and I's wedding as well as images of us together during the

Temptation

Temptation.
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.
No other way to protect me.
Happiness will greet you there, he says.

There's two silver glints in the light.
A small click.
I'm seeing black.
But he'll be with me.
Moments after.

No harm.
I'll be protected.
Happy forever.

I'm sorry I never listened.
