Few of my memories remain,
but most I recall with disdain.
I remember when my soul died,
and how no one near me cried.
My dreams were once filled with joy,
they were twisted in an insidious ploy.
Once fantasies of creativity and light,
now they waken me in the night.
Shadows slither and devour,
all humanity for them to sour.
Salvation and revival are lost,
to continue living was that cost.
My mind became cold and petrified,
holding only the thoughts of the terrified.
Slowly my soul begins to rust,
all I have now is a heart of dust.

Caged Hearts and Governing Minds
My heart still loves
it yearns for you
it won’t let go
no matter what we do
Music plays
it starts to weep
the memories
that it still keeps
I see you
my heart takes flight
inside of me
a raging fight
My heart holds dear
to all of you
But my mind
has plans anew
My mind is clear
it’s changed its course
but my heart is screaming
it’s getting hoarse
My mind knows now
that this can’t be
there is no “ever after”
for you and me
My mind is right
this is where we part
even if
it breaks my heart
I’ll be okay
I’ll continue to grow
and maybe someday
my heart will let go
The despair,
Avoiding it is futile,
no matter where I go,
It's there.
I can't breath,
Drowning in this black abyss,
Silently screaming,
I am ignored.
Can you help me?
Will you help me?
Do I bother you?
Do you even want me?
Me being myself
And the world being itself
Has found me being fearful
fearful of being alone
Yet i cant seem to find
the courage
to tell the one i love
my feelings for her
i go unnoticed
living in the fear of rejection
i want to tell her i love her
but i fear her reaction
will she hug me
and tell me she feels the same?
or will she say
she doesn't have those same feelings
that i seem to have
and doom me to be alone again
forever fearful of wanting to show
my inner feelings
my emotions
that leave me vulnerable
the inner turmoil
of my heart and mind
battling each other
over the want of love
and the fear of rejection
has left me broken
and
