I scratch my way across the bathroom floor
Anything to get to the light
Skin crawling
Heart racing
Can't
Breathe.
The bottle of pills lays on the floor,
Empty.

I once was loved
I felt it deep.
I once was known
Oh, it was sweet.
I once had passion
It filled my soul.
But then I felt it go
It happened but it was slow.

Witches fly on wicker brooms
Zombies arise with skin so blue
Decaying flesh caries on the wind at midnight
Their ghastly gaze makes you gasp with fright
Werewolves howl at the full moon above

Lonely, cold, dark, hungry
She sat.
Searching for a hidden escape,
A release from this torture.
She found none and began to scream.
First internally and then outwardly
With growing intensity.

Walking down the hallway
Staring at my feet
Not by choice, mind you.
My hand on my back,
I got the Backache Blues.
I lay on the couch
Unable to move.
Call into work,
Grab the remote,

A floating form whispered its presence
Exposing itself to the deafening silence of the night
Sending invisible spiders trickling down my spine
It's looking for something

Tears racing
Trying to reach
The quivering chin first.

Her eyes go glassy
As she stars at the book
She was given.

The words separate
The lines run together
Through her tears.

Disappearing
Into the shadows. (Cold)
Swallowed
By the notions of deception. (Lonesome)
Shallow breathing
Of insignifigance. (Hurting)
Whispering
Tales of truthful lies. (Haunted)

Silence,
My only escape.
I can't even stand the silence anymore.
You're always there,
Haunting me,
Hurting me.
Your words bring pain,
Your touch sends fear
Trembling in that moment,

Wipe my tears
Take my hand
Pull me close
Help me understand
Love me gently with your touch
Teach me the meaning of trust
Take the pain
Free my soul
Kiss my lips
Never let me go
Be my love

I have a garden in my life,
Each head a special soul.
This one betrayed me,
And this one lied,
So I whacked them off with my hoe.

His name is Sanka,
Some people call him Tanka.
He makes the other dogs
Look like total hogs.
He raps on the street
While eatin' doggie treats
He pees on every tree
Then eats some Pedigree

Frustrated by the distance
Frustrated by his voice.
Longing for his forbidden touch
Confused about love and such
Captivated by the color of his eyes
Captured in the meaning behind each sigh

Wide awake I lie in tortured rest
As their voices dance inside my head.
Ghastly thoughts rip me apart
Pointless surrender thrown upon my bed.
Screeching, prowling
Through the town,

* Foreward: I absolutely hate this. It was a dream that for some reason I decided to put down on paper. Strangest thing in the world so don't be too brutal on me ;) *

Shadows fall across this town
Casting eerie glows
The darkness all around closing in on me
I keep my back against the building
For fear of what I might see.
Did I lose him?
It started out simple enough,
It was a perfect night.
Dinner and a movie,
A walk in the moonlight.
Then I walked away,
You went one way and I the other.
I started walking home,
I crossed my arms to protect me from the cold,
That's when I noticed it.
