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.
