It's stalking me everywhere
Drowning my mind in sadness
Lingering dimly in the air
As I fade into the darkness
Solitude is taking its toll
Wave after wave of sorrow
Eroding away a crushed soul
No hope left for tomorrow
It used to be all contained
Now it starts breaking free
Unable to keep it restrained
And tearing right out of me
Deep and devastating scars
Lacerating my lonely being
Deserted beneath the stars
It's my face you hate seeing
It's taking over everything
Burying me with depression
Thoughts bear a bitter sting
My sad concealed confession
Tears loosely held at bay
Refusing to break and cry
So much that I want to say
But there's no reason to try
No words that I can find
There is no glimpse of hope
No way to change your mind
It is just my job to cope
Handle the pain, the defeat
Swallow it up deep inside
Bid you a dejected retreat
Return to my corner and hide
Because hope doesn't exist
It is only delayed despair
Against which you can resist
'til you feel your soul tear
Ripped into tiniest shreds
The confetti of rejection
Upon which sadness spreads
Misery's cruel projection
What is it I am longing for?
The warmth of your beauty
And everything that I adore
Alas not only I can see
What makes you who you are
Perfection that lies within
An amazing glistening star
Where my thoughts all begin
But I cannot impose my will
I couldn't do that to you
No matter what I feel still
My dream's not coming true
It would just be cruel of me
To express just how I feel
By trying to make you see
How I wish dreams were real
The loss of what I never had
Burns with a cold black fire
Feeling so damn lost and sad
Haunted by visions of desire
Your dreams elsewhere do lie
Where we are forever apart
I'm trying so hard not to cry
From the pain within my heart
It's stalking me everywhere
Drowning my mind in sadness
Lingering dimly in the air
As I fade into the darkness
Solitude is taking its toll
Wave after wave of sorrow
Eroding away a crushed soul
No hope left for tomorrow
It used to be all contained
Now it starts breaking free
Unable to keep it restrained
And tearing right out of me
Deep and devastating scars
Lacerating my lonely being
Deserted beneath the stars
It's my face you hate seeing
It's taking over everything
Burying me with depression
Thoughts bear a bitter sting
My sad concealed confession
Tears loosely held at bay
Refusing to break and cry
So much that I want to say
But there's no reason to try
No words that I can find
There is no glimpse of hope
No way to change your mind
It is just my job to cope
Handle the pain, the defeat
Swallow it up deep inside
Bid you a dejected retreat

It is only delayed despair

Conventional Tragedies
Her mother was a sphinx, she was her favorite riddle,
her father played lullabies on Lucifer's fiddle.
Her facade was a doll, with a torn out pull string,
she lost it in a battle with an innerspring.
Her hopes were static ivy that crackled so high,
white noise never failed in making her cry.
Her belly was a bird cage that was empty inside,
she buried the song in her mind when it died.
Her skin was a roadmap of savage tattoos,
and bruised evil eyes inked in with voodoo.
Her hair was a tangle of fate 'round her head,
so she cut it off madly, and colored it red.
Her heart was a temple, without any worship,
'till spiders replaced lov

A Fool
I never thought I would be here, in this position.
I never thought that I would let this happen to me.
I thought I was better than that.
I believed you.
You seemed so perfect.
Everything about you was exhilarating.
Flawless.
I believed you.
I would not listen to the warnings.
They did not know you like I did.
They were erroneous.
I believed you.
You have taken all I have.
Everything valuable to me is gone.
I just cannot the fact that…
I believed you.

Thorns
I see you at first glace
Immediately captivated by your beauty
Your stem so strong and tall with pride
Your petals full of color and shape
I am a bud not yet blossomed
As I grow toward you
My stem embracing yours
I finally realize, you're covered in thorns

Sanity is wearing thin as those thoughts, and longings become overpowering and relentless - refusing to die off. How can a thought with no hope of success still thrive in the wreckage of the mind? A thought so delusional and frankly insane to even exist manages to sustain itself and grows stronger and more prevalent in the kingdom of my head, how can it force out other innocent thoughts to steal their energy, why does it survive saturating every dream with it's presence, haunting every night, and stalking every day.

This. This is simply amazing. I loved every single word of it. It was BEAUTIFULLY written. And to keep up with the rhyming that long! Even with a rhyming dictionary that has to be a feat! You, my dear friend, are VASTLY talented.
