Funeral for a Friend
Your song is the tears they cry and the broken hearts you leave behind.
My best friend, the boy I loved, lay still.
That was his song, the tears I cried and my broken heart.

In school everyone, friend or foe, refused to meet my eyes.
They thought I was a murderess.
I gained no comfort knowing they were probably right.
I thought back to the day, our last day together;
We had been discussing who we would marry.
I said Josh. He said me. Then he kissed me.

We, Rob and I, in each others arms on the hill, watched enchanted hours slip by and stars rise.
Returning, we got jumped. A coarse hand pressed over my mouth and a gun to my temple.
Rob came looking for me, bruised and bleeding.
He protected me.

My best friend, the boy I loved, took a bullet for me.
And I never got a chance to tell him how much I loved him.
How I love him still.

A collab w/ Smalls. My stanzas/lines. Her stanzas/lines

Birth and Death
She reached for the bundle of life before her, aware of her every movement
Ever movement, hurting
hurting her and her child, the child she had carried for so long.
And killed.
The warmth seeped out
on the cold winter's ground,
melting the snow around it. The flakes danced around them, depriving her of warmth even as she wished she could fade out of existence, into her own Hell.Her own Hell, of her own creation.
Created from when she killed
her own kin,
Her own child.

She thought how she had despised the child first. She had wanted to murder it
Feel it's life, seep out
onto the ground
onto her lap
Off to heaven
No more than a day old
She wanted to kill.
Her lips were blue, numb, like
The pond where she gave birth
the frozen pond and the fish trapped in time.
Her child Rosie
Breath coming out in pitiful gulps
as she died, on a bed of snow, the moon calling to her, the shadows reaching for her, her own eyes on her fragile miracle.

Heart slowing, slower, slower
as she was consumed by the shadows of the moon.

Her mother, murdered her,
carelessly, thinking nothing of it
like she was sweeping away a skeleton of her past
out of her closet.

Sweeping out the old
making way for the new
or so she thought. Her mother was murdering her firstborn child in cold blood.

Alone
I am alone
The only people I truly love,
The only place I have ever fitted in,
The only people who truly understand me,
Are going to leave me.
In Hell. For another two years.

Jealousy
Jealousy. The word ran through my mind;
A silver stream that hid the rotteness beneath
People lie through their fake smiles
Jealousy coiling through like a wraith
People desire others possessions; home, car, money, sucess, lifestyle, wife, husband.
Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't.
How curious.
People envy a celebrity lifestyle
Why?

Aftermath
Constant tensions
Under a sky of blood
Under a midnight sun
Under a barren sky
Filled with the cloud of battle, of death.

Filled with carrion-eaters,
The piles rise high,
The stench rises higher, to the clouds.
Who dive to their meal.

Rescue Me
Will you rescue me from this curse I'm in?
This downward spiral into sin?
Into self-destruction and danger?
Reach down and grab me from this hole,
Before I go too deep and die,
Down here, in the smoke and fumes?
Help me through rehab?
Hold me when I scream, and thrash, and cry?
Kiss me, keep me?
Will you rescue me?

So Slow
So slow,
I lost myself
My heart ripped itself apart
So slow.
Torn between two lovers, an angel and a demon
An entwined choice.

Door to the Mind
I wish I could walk through the door to my mind
See it all
Laid out, before me
My memories, a forest,
A forest I can't see for the wolves.
My thoughts, a deep, oily, cloying river
A river I can't see for the bodies.

What Do You See?
A shiver runs through me
As my eyes connect with yours
I know what you think of me.
You think I'm
Silly
Immature.
Faithless.
A backstabber.
A skank.
I can't help but wonder, though,
What do you see, when you look at me?
I see a future
If I'm brave enough to try
And start something with you.
Am I brave enough?
Probably not.

Mask
Your eyes gleamed out from behind a ceramic face
Full of life
Cheeky, playful, a tiny bit annoying
Now you lie
On this cold steel slab
And I wonder; where did we go wrong?
That you go and discharge
An entire magazine into your head?
Life's a cruel mask
Which hides the rotteness beneath.
But unlike in the movies where they all live happily ever after
We all have to gaze on the rotteness at some point.
Become consumed by it.

Outside Looking In
I stand outside your bubble, outside looking in.
I warned you
Yet you....you ignored me.
And when she broke your heart
I could have said "I told you so."
Instead, I set you right.
Your best friend kissed her
The girl who taunted you.
I feel so powerless
I can't help you
Because I'm on the outside looking in.

Tales of More Broken Homes
Everywhere I look
I see Broken Homes
An earthquake here, a smackhead there
Affairs, affairs, everywhere.

Girls giving birth after a drunken fumble that "never meant anything."
Druggies, alkies, smokers, for the most.
Some, honest people who "made a mistake."
They all got themselves saddled with their "mistake."

Married at sixteen
In Vegas, in a church, in a grotty registry office
To a person
You met drunk
Or known a few months.

Hooked on drugs or a smoker.
Need I say more?

Some woes of today.
This crap doesn't need to happen.
Does anyone care?
Beneath their fake smiles and false promises
Their hard, cold, black hearts
Are stone.

Losing You
Stripped of all I know,
In between decisions
Have I made the biggest mistake yet?
Or set myself free?
Of course, you're in my head
And the truth is the world hasn't stopped spinning
And my heart is still beating,
It doesn't mean I feel whole
It just means that I'm giving it a go
At letting go of some of the things keeping me trapped
If I could I'd have you with me
I would,
But would I?
I can't decide
Is it a sin for me to believe in you?
Is it wrong for me to believe?

I laugh at my own ideas
I criticize my decisions
I look at our picture
I remember our times
And I realise
That here or there
I'd still be without you
You would never have had me
Though you say you """" me
I can't allow myself
To sink further into dreams.

It's time, it's time, it's time.
Let go.
No.
Let go.
No.

Thoughts.
I'm dying...
my heart is crying, splitting
Though tears don't touch my face
I won't cry for you
Though I would die for you.

I'd wait forever,
I'd wait for you
Until nothing was left for me
I'd linger on a dream
That will never come true
The hopeless secret everyone knew.
I hate you.

That's why I left
Because there was nothing,
But unsaid words
And sweet little kisses
A few bruises
And just three words keeping us going.

But finally I can see, I can see everything
All that you have left me
A choice
A chance to be happy,
I realise now
You did this to save me
Didn't you?
....Well?
I'll never get to ask you this now
But I pray that I guessed right.
In the darkness waiting and the light left behind
I'll find a path
To where I belong
I promise you
That I will stay strong.
...I owe you that.

Scars of the Past
Our scars remind us that the past is real.*
My torn heart throbs for you
And you will never know.

Every day, I stared into your chocolate eyes
Eyes like knives.
The results of these blades
Displayed on my wrists for all to see.
*Note: This is a line from the song "Scars" by Papa Roach. All the rest of this poem is my own work


Decisions
There I lay, on a metal ledge
Between Life and Death.
A pump next to me.

I threw myself in a lake for you
And your decisions.
And it sickens me to my core
That if I had a choice to repeat the last two years
I'd decide to do it all again.
Are you happy?

On the outside, I look fine
On the inside, I'm dying.
Are you happy?

Cult of Fools
A naked child paints a dead mans face with their own blood
Wolves take the dead and the dying
And through it all, the Cult of Fools stare
Through a sheet of unbroken water.

The cities burn, the houses fall, the men die.
The women are raped, the children taken for slaves.
Because of the Cult of Fools.

They have existed forever, outside Time and above the Worlds
The Cult of Fools, whom we are all part of.

Bedtime Story
I remember a bedtime story
I read almost evey night
The story of Snow White.

Every night, I would settle back with a candle
To enhance the magic
My grandma would settle against my chipped table
Her old bones creaking
her face pulled up in a warm, loving smile
She would always ask me the same question
"Are we sitting comfortably?"
Then she would begin;
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl...."

Her voice painted mesmerising patterns in the air
A tale of enthralling attraction
Of princes, poison oak, dwarves, dragons, kings and kisses
And living happily ever after.

Why doesn't life end like that?

Loup-Garou
The moon reveals herself to us
Unreachable, perfect, beautiful
Our mother.

Skin rips and stretches
Bones crunch and break
Then reform, melting together
Fur erupts in tufts
Teeth sharpen, ivory knives
Nails become claws, hidden weapons
Complete, we drop to all fours.
Perfect senses acute.
Hunger chafing, tongue lolling, paws thundering
To bring down prey.

Warm blood
Fast, failing heart
Soft eyes vacant, glazed
Matted pelt, open stomach
Guts and bones exposed to the ravening pack.

Seven days to the wolves
Our changeling skin.

Hiding by day, always in plain sight
Hunting by night, always in dark shadows
A dual nature, existence.
We are Loup-Garou.

The Girl Who Couldn't Fly
She used to ride the wind,
Dove-grey wings flared.

Now she sits in a stinking dungeon,
With no wings.

They plucked her from the sky,
And took her wings.

They sold them to a travelling theatre,
Real Angel wings.

They took her wings
And made her
The Girl Who Couldn't Fly.
