End of Days

This beating in my chest is to punish you. Solid, like cold silver. You hands push my hair aside, I am a mystery to you. The metronome of my skin like a magicians trick and you are hypnotised, mesmerized by its ticking, tricking you to feast. My eyes, screaming but you have silenced my pain with a...

Prophets

The tables turn faster than you could predict. You are telling a story of how things will be, and he is beating you to the punch line with his fists. He is teaching you a lesson. You see God in the shape of an ivory statue to your temple. This is his Temple, you will not make this mistake again. A... Sign in to see full entry.

One Third

One Third I take half of the cake now, when before it would be a third. I am not the little one any more, I am the second and I have spent one third of my life grieving for this. Eight out of 27. One of three. Sign in to see full entry.

Raw - Part Five

...so you stop thinking. You stop understanding. Words lose meaning when you say them so many times. You lose your train of thought half way through a sentence, giving them more credibility. You're tired of this game and feigning sincerity is tiring you out. You spend so much time looking for... Sign in to see full entry.

Flesh

She sold herself a pound at a time - we're talking flesh here. It was funny back when she still laughed, now its just funny how things turned out. Now, she just picks up the pieces she pretends not to recognize. She was selling herself, for nothing it seems - cheap thrills and someone to please. She... Sign in to see full entry.

Lights

Turn the lights down low, I don't believe you - but I'll go anywhere you want to take me. and my heart, I'll keep wrapped up in her cage - strapped up with the words that you don't say. No, I don't believe you, but I know no other way to be. So turn the lights down low, I'll go anywhere you want me... Sign in to see full entry.

At Least

She is blind, only in her eyes. She walks a tight rope with slackened pull and no safety net. I can breathe in here. Its not always so easy with this weight on your chest. With no regret you live with clear conscience. We forget our sins, in hopes of forgiving ourselves (at least and if only) She... Sign in to see full entry.

Brick

I understand you as much as a brick to the back of my head. Unforgiving and confusing. Who throws bricks, when we have guns. Brick by brick you wear me down. I am not a soldier anymore, I do not fear your weapons. There is no war here, still you rage against me like I have wronged you somehow. Anger... Sign in to see full entry.

Revenge

Promises of an easier time fall on deaf ears. You tell me stories of the Ugly Duckling, turning into a Swan and I believe you. I am a child, I know no different, I believed in Santa once, didn't I? You are pushed to the breaking point, but you are resillient. Years of unwarrented hope gave you this... Sign in to see full entry.

Party

She always leaves the party early. They don't ask why anymore, they just wait for the call. "i'm at the other side of town..." She fumbles through old mail on the counter to find an address. She is always looking through other peoples mail. It's not a game anymore, when you're scoring in hundreds.... Sign in to see full entry.
