It was a stormy night, non like any other. Lightening spit across the blackened sky as thunder roared like a man eating lion. The clouds moved rapidly through the sky as if trying to run away from something. The rain poured down from the heavens above, the tears of a thousand angels. The rain was coming down like nothing I have ever seen before. The only good thing about this weather, is that it's perfect weather for what I am about to do.
As I walk into my room I lock the door behind me. Slowly I walk in front of a mirror on top of my dresser, and underneath it I grab a knife. Not just an ordinary knife, but a meat cutting knife. One that c
Sometimes we try to tear each other down
We can get jealous and resentful and then lash out
We don't mean it....most if the time
The pressure can build up
We try to find one another's imperfections,
Put them down so maybe we might feel that bit better.
But that happiness will only last awhile
Before you realise your problems again.
Before you realise the world isn't this perfect place you've fooled yourself it was.
You worry for me
I see it in your eyes
Your concern is so sweet
It makes me realize
I was never alone
I never will be
I was yours the moment you smiled at me
We laugh together
& everything feels fine
A moment lasts forever
spent with you in time
So why do you kiss me
& say we're just friends?
Why do you hold me
If you wont be mine in the end?

Literature
mask I hide behind
Have you ever seen kids
Walking under the pouring
Of wet tears,
From the milky blanket
Covering the chest of sky?
They all look up
To feel the rain.
On their skin and hands.
Men hide under,
Women hide under,
The large umbrellas.
Under the shadows.
And I?
I hide behind,
My empty shell,
My mask of lies.
I smile and walk,
Even faster
When the sky's little heart
Breaks and it falls.
No promises were made,
That the colours won't run
From this mask I love.
I'll be left behind
Naked and exposed
To the world to see
This ugly lie,
This empty shell,
I hide behind.
My mask is my cocoon,
My safe haven of solitude.

I sat on my bed, twitching,
Looking left, looking right,
Bouncing my legs up and down,
One little sip, please.
I couldnt keep my eyes in one place.
My heart keeps pounding, I keep twitching,
Looking left, looking right,
One little sip, please.
My palms were sweating,
It was like I ran a race.
I was tired, I was jumpy,
One little sip, please.
I needed it, so badly,
One small cup, one little drink,
One gulp of that drink.
One little sip, please.
It was pure amber in a cup.
The forbidden drink.
I needed it so badly.
One little sip, please.
I wanted that drink. I needed it.
One taste of euphoria,
my life would be

Literature
she and I and I and I
She and I and I and I
She was as Persephone as I like Pluto sat upon my dark throne
I saw her in the morning of my existence
Sun shone across a silver sky
Morning danced away and became yesterday
I searched after her in those skies and in that yesterday
I longed after her when the days died dark, dank and still
I found her and gently shackled her in my steely embrace
I spoke to her as only I could speak
I am the Tempest I am the Sea
I am the ocean, come ocean with me
And she fled and cried I am the sunshine, the blue of the sea
to be one with the ocean would crucify me
She was a rainbow a
