Feeling Numb
A coldness
creeping inside
frozing my limbs,
frozing my mind.
An emptiness
in place of my heart,
something is missing
nothing is right.
My world is greying
the colors are fleeing
laughter eludes me
I'm not really seeing.
They're talking,
can't hear any words
just sounds, no meaning
do i have to respond?
I'm living
or at least I pretend
was it always like this?
Is it ever going to end?

Stars like us
I look at the stars
how brilliant they seem
a sea of lights floating
worlds above me.
I gaze them every night
can't help but wonder if
sometimes they stop shining
and gaze upon me.
Do they look at skies
full of us at nights
try to count us all
lose count after a while?
Couples are constelations
cities galaxies whole.
Do they wish they were amongst us
in our own world?
Do they make wishes
when someone dies,
study our movements
to determirne their time?
Light years between us
our lights synchronized
Do they go stargazing
at humans in skies?

Pieces
I carved out my heart
to stop its ache
I held it in my hand
and watched its shape
But the pain didn't stop
the void consumed me
I dropped it on the floor
like glass it shattered
I tried to put the pieces back
but most were missing
I was left with blooded hands
and a heart half-finished
I pretend i'm okay
but i'm not the same
i wish I'd been strong enough
to stand its ache
Horror show
Midnight
And the whispers begin
The darkness extends
Births shadows from within
Quiet cries echo in the halls
Deranged laughter
From somewhere above
Shards of light
Stab the room
It bleeds nightmares
That grow under the moon
Open windows
Curtains blown
An invite
To every unborn
The doors close
We are locked inside
So many guests
None of which are alive
It's now after midnight
The horrors are having fun
And once they begin
They don't want to stop
Violent ends
These violent delights
Have violent ends
Blood calls to blood
It knows no friend
It spreads like fire
Every thought it devours
Until in the end
It knows no bounds
These violent delights
With their violent ends
Seduce our mind
Appeal to our primal selves
Just instinct,no logic
Just red,no clear head
It brings just destruction
A cycle with no end.
We know we should stop
But in truth we can't
Violence is addictive
And we like the pain
We lie for it
We beg for it
We even pay
We are now its slaves
We can't quit the game
You see pain is real
In a world full of fakes
This is its appeal
And all that it takes.
