Mortuary
That awful place
With blood red carpets
The color of death
Flowers everywhere
As if to say this
Is a happy place
I guess it is
A place of closing
Of peace to say goodbye
But to me that horrible place
Reeked of death and sorrow
Of tears shed and hearts broken
Laying in a casket
Cold and dead
I did not want my last memory
To be of that
I'm glad I didn't see it
Because everytime I would have
Thought of you
My first memory would

Moved
Are you sorry when you say those words
Or do they just roll off your tongue?
They used to mean much more
But over use and distorted vision
Have corrupted them
Do you have regret what you've done?
Lingering resentment of past problems
Wishing you could have changed it
Do you really forgive?
Do you ever forget?
Silent complaints voiced not
Wrongs gone unseen
Poisonous intrusions
Invade and take root deep
Unhappiness unremoved
Do you wish you could have said something?
About what you wanted?

Cruel Reality
She sits and cries
She knows death will com eventually
But that doesn't make it an easier
When she know someone she loves
Is going to die
The diease is incuriable
He's been going down hill for a while
This she knows
This she sees
He tries to sound happy
But she can tell something's not right
By the sound of his voice
Her father is in denial

No One Knows Their Last Day
Tears continue
To fall
Running down her face
Frantically wiping them away
Still they come
She lets them fall
Going through all
Of the memories
All of the laughs and joy
Soon he will be gone
She won't be able to hear his voice
Feel love as she
Hugs him

Razor Blades and Pain
I feel sharp pain
As the cold razor blade
Slices thought my skin
I relish the longed-for
Pain
It's the only way I feel
I control something
I watch as my
Red blood
Falls on to the white tile
The stinging is still there
A reminder of what I've done
Again and again

Waiting For Someone Like You
You don't know
You never did
I won't tell you
It'll ruin what we have
I hope your happy
I hope she is too
I hope she deserves you
And that she doesn't desert you
You'll probably break up
Then get back together
And you'll come to me
To help mend your heart
And I'll do it to
Even if I want to be more

Night Roamer
That hateful sun
With rays that burn and blister
With light that wakes a sleeping world
A peaceful world
And once awoken
The fights break out
The war spreads
Because of that hateful sun
I am a creature of night
Night is when I roam
Beneath the moon
I am my strongest
The stars comfort me
The dark soothes my burns

Preserving Scars
She wakes up
Screaming
Crying
From nightmares
Terror
Fear
Scars
On her body
Show it all
Abuse
Mistreatment
Neglect
All her history
Is written
Upon her skin
Dripping in

Love Hurts
I want you to hold me
Like nobody else
I want you to like me
So much it hurts
I want you to kiss me
With barely restrained desire
And the sad part is
You offered that to me once
But I declined the invitation
And now I'm sitting here alone
Feeling deprived of love
And attention and intimacy
I cant stop thinking of you
Your curly brownish gold hair

Wondering
You made me feel so happy
So wanted
I felt special
And pretty
My life was brighter
Because you were in it
But that was
Long ago
You were what I thought
I Wanted at the time
But I had to let
Go of you
Things were falling apart
We barely saw each other
