Dark Poetry

Escape

depraved soul trying to escape
a labryinth of torturous evil
stumbling, falling in the blackness
grasping and clawing in despair
shrouded in an icy mask of fear
gooseflesh prickling everywhere
cold hands reaching out to stop you
obstacles arise with every step
succubi around each corner
golden light just out of reach
fists clenched too tight, nails break flesh
blood now dripping down the corridor
demons picking up the scent
the heart giveth not into terror
though a baleful wail is heard
tranquility lies just up ahead
but devils lay before thee
another battle yet to be won
by a depraved soul trying to escape

Panic

dark and ugly thoughts
tension building within
doubts forming wildly
inside the minds eye
stomach all tied up in knots
even breathing seems a sin
hands are clenching madly
waiting for the dark to die

A Day in My World

evil thoughts running through my mind
out of time and out of line
insanity courses through my veins
no one there to grab the reins
don't know what to do with my life
sick of the pain, anger and strife
lost so many that i loved
lost my faith in god above
groping blindly in the dark
still waiting to make my mark
snorting beast at my side
but i don't really want to hide
laughing like a psychotic
trying not to be nuerotic
every day i take my pills
now i feel i'm losing my will
flashes of memories
trying to torment me
welcome to a day in my world

GoodBye

I sat with you all day
and tried my best not to cry
I watched you go from speaking just a bit
to only being able to open your eyes
I saw your hands and feet slowly turning blue
yet I kept my hand on yours
I heard the rasping in your chest
as you struggled to breathe
I felt the hotness of your skin
and turned over the cool cloth on your head
I prayed that you would go peacefully
so you would not suffer
I hoped you knew how much I love you
even when I wasn't there to say it
Now each day won't be the same without you
physically here to talk to
But I will hold you always in my heart
and sadly smile when I think of you
And though I know you are someplace better
I will always miss you

Hate

i really hate hearing the truth when it hurts
i hate being honest with myself when nothing else works
'cause i'm the one person i should get to lie to
but i've never been good at lying, and that's the truth
i hate feeling tired, sick and depressed
i hate the days when i don't even want to get dressed
i hate looking in the mirror and not liking what i see
but mostly i hate myself for still hating me

Overwhelmed

every day feels so unreal
like i'm walking in a dream
every step i take is so unsure
like i'm always losing ground
every thought i have is so obscure
like someone else is in my head
every emotion seems so strong
like it's overpowering me
every dream feels so life-like
like i'm not even sleeping
every thing appears so backwards
like black is white and up is down
every word comes out the wrong way
like it gets lost in my throat
every action is so awkward
like a corpse come back to life
every decision feels like the wrong one
like nothing ever comes out right
every hurt seems worse than the last one
and they torment me every night

The Death of Hopes and Dreams

the rain fell steadily that day
cold and wet it cut to the bone
the skies were especially grey that day
so ominous and loudly did they moan
the air was heavy and dead that day
and we couldn't seperate hell from home
the demons were searching for prey that day
and they found us vulnerable and alone
we had looked forward to many things that day
and now all our hopes and dreams are gone

The Killer Feels

My heart beats no more
The blood in my veins is cold
My eyes are much too bright
Their color far too bold
My lungs do not take in much air
My ears hear every sound
I can pick up the scent from anywhere
I have become the killer
But before I was the killed
Is this the only alternative?
How much blood have I spilled?
I steal the beat of your heart
And take your blood so warm
I watch the color leave your eyes
As all sounds fade from your ears
And as I take what I need to live
My eyes are filled with tears

Vampiressa

The thunder sounds
The winds blow
The waves crash
but I don't know
I cannot hear
These paramount sounds
I am awake
Yet I sleep; in the ground
I smell the blood
I taste the nectar
I yearn for more
I Wake from slumber
I follow the scent
I draw near the flavor
When my lips open
Then death I shall savor

This Old House

The walls are dark and dusty
And the floor is damp and dank
The sills and pipes are rusty
And there's a hole in the water tank

The curtains are drawn and faded
The windows are cloudy and gray
Our memories there are jaded
And the children cease to play

The stairs are weak and sagging
And the roof is full of holes
You can hear the chains a-dragging
Pulled by the sad, lost souls

Black Magick

hands thrust high in the air
drawing down the rumbling clouds
wind whispering ominously in my hair
as the dead rise from their burial shrouds
lighting blessed candles so I could see
casting my circle full, strong and wide
knowing they were now coming for me
in the shadows of reality I try to hide

Don't Know

I don't know where I'm going (can't see that far ahead)
I don't know where I've been (cant' see that far behind)
I don't know when it is (seem to have lost track of time)
I don't know how to live (but i hope i'm doing fine)
I don't know why I'm here (must have missed that part)
I don't know why I love you (it must all be in my heart)
I don't know what I'm doing (could someone help me out?)
I don't know what to do (can't understand what it's all about)
I don't know why I'm writing this (can't think that straight no more)
I don't know if I'm crazy (just don't care anymore)

I Knew This Day Would Come

I knew this day would come,
When you would tell me you no longer cared.
I knew this day would come,
When I shy away from you and of you I am scared.
I knew this day would come,
When your vows of love you would break,
I should have known this day would come,
When my heart you would break
And my life you would try to take
I knew this day would come, and I always dreaded knowing
But now I'm glad it's here, for my my heart is beyond just slowing
I knew this day would come
I thought you were the one

Song of the Dragon

Miles above the earth
the stars sparkle in rhyme
And somewhere in between
there is a skip in time
And that is where the Dragon lives
hidden from the world
The Dragon dwells within our realm
but her secrets remain untold
She looks just like you
but that is her disguise
Her true form will not be seen
by your unbelieving eyes
And as she hides herself by day
She sings her song at night
The song of beauty, peace and love
Will through the air take flight
Her song is who she is
and it helps her to survive
And she hides inside her song
Shielded from our minds
