Tell Me This

SCREAM. This scream, it echos through my skin
No, this one isn't agonizing
Over all of her sins
I am not fraternizing
with my demons, nor my own kind
I'm painstakingly alone
Alone in my own mind
Sitting on my throne
and dreaming of a happier time
Happiness... emotions are so faded
It seems like such a crime
My eyes, they look so jaded
As I peer at my reflection in the waters of my soul
I look like a faded tragedy, so disgusting, so perfect
I rise from the water and tell myself, to get across to the other side, I must provide a toll.
I'm clad in rags, and when I try to speak, it's in a different dialect
Why is this happening? Don't speak. Don't tell me.
I shut my eyes tightly, and await the hardening of my chrysalis
I am not ready. I cannot see.
Just await me, and when I awaken, tell me this...

Do things seem amiss?

The Lion

I'm pacing.
Walking back and forth, etching a trail into my innermost thoughts.
I'm growling.
Snarling, snapping at the concept- of being caged, being caught.
I am the she-wolf, running across the snow.
Amused at the flaws of mankind, disgusted at their invasion on my land.
I am the snake crawling low.
Afraid of the predators around me, and angry enough to protect my meager piece of sand.
I am the lion!
I roar!
I am trooping steadily on the Road to Zion,
awaiting my chance to spread my wings-
to soar.
Do not get in my way, do not attempt to stray in my path.
I beg you. Do not try to cage me.
For I am an animal. Quick to feel your attempts- and out of fear, show my wrath.

Hatred in Love

See me, please- don't close those beautiful eyes

Hear my words, my dark angel

Please- I won't ask you again

Look at me, please- don't tell those lies

Listen to mine first! Before you start on me, to mangle

Your existence is the father of all sins!

Don't look at me! I want to tear out those beautiful eyes... I'm sick of your boorish sighs

All of these emotions in me you do tangle

But I refuse to succumb and let you win

My love! You'll be flawless until you die!

I can't make up my mind! Whore- I can't keep faltering here. Dangle, dangle

Dangling over a cliff, by your hand. Your existence is such a sin...

You disgusting troll, don't look at me- i'm so tired of our lies...

Leave this place! Leave me! You've succeeded. We are both mangled.

Your face, my head. Look at all of our sins...

Hello, Goodbye

God, don't look me in the eyes
Because you'll see right thru to my soul
You'll see how it's face is red from crying
And how it's riddled with a multitude of holes
I try, and I try, and I try
Your silence taunts my heartstrings
and gives me even more reason to cry
But I won't cry over this, or other things
I will, however, silently weep on the inside
I'm trying to tightly clutch onto a reason to keep going
And I'm trying desperately not to hide
But it's very hard after knowing
That I'm here by myself
Leave me alone, I'm lonely- alone, I'm lonely
Secret's out
I'm full of doubt
