At the end of the day…
You surround yourself With noise and clutter Distractions and people And tasks to be done Filling the day, you While away the time As you avoid the truth, Keeping up the facade But at the end of the day When the night falls There’s no one but you, Nothing but your mind ContinueContinue reading “At the end of the day…”
Blackout
It comes, sometimes so sudden Like fog in the mountains, Descending into every rise And fall of the slopes and valleys; Erasing all sense of up and down, as The whole world turns a numbing white Only it’s black, black and hot As a burning sensation rushes to your head And sparks of concentratedContinueContinue reading “Blackout”

Despair
Hungry echo of fear, Dormant whisper in blood Chews away at threads, In the fabric of time. Gnawing at the soul, As life seeps from flesh Convulsions numb love, Wounded body fading.

Fool
Unsatisfied, you spend days Searching for something more Craving all the answers, You yearn for something better, An antidote to your banes, And for life to be flawless. But whilst you do, the present Slips away forgotten, and lays In tattered shards, as ghosts Of a forbidden future Haunt your dreams, Stalk your wakingContinueContinue reading “Fool”
Trapped
She lays helpless in a haunted embrace As whispers of night call mockingly Sinister words, mind doubting the body It’s caught in a brittle and barren world Her vision is blinded by burnt shadows As they brush her spirit callously Burning despair and bitter fear, tramples A heart locked in hopeless thought BeContinueContinue reading “Trapped”
