Cast out from society
For trying to find who we want to be
An outsider is all they see
When they look at you and me.
They only see what they want us to be,
Our differences, they won’t believe.
Our independence set us free
Cast us away from society
So we can be who we are and will always be.
I’ll write you as I please,
A character in my story
Is all you’ll ever be
I’ll make you dance
I’ll make you sing
I’ll make you fall in love with me
When I feel I’m in over my head
I’ll cut your strings, puppet,
And set you free.
Stuck inside my mind
Behind a two-way mirror
No body
No name
Visible from the outside
Through my glassy eyes
That watch the world pass by.
A hunger within…
Filthy cravings occupy my mind
As I hope for the demise of others.
Your pleasantries are ill-received
By the presence outweighing my own.
I can’t help but lookat your nauseating smile
With disgust.
It’s not me,
It’s the demon inside
That’s preying on your soul.
The sound of metal colliding rings in my ears
And all I see is white.
The stretcher, the walls,
The bright light calling to me
As I scream for you.
Lying five feet away,
You’re so close
But these walls separating us
Keep me from whispering your name…
From trying to hold your once warm body
In my decaying arms.
I’ve lost all hope of being with you
As I lie here, waiting for an eternity to pass
Inside a plot under a headstone.
Ricochet
Into my heart
Crashing fatally
Against my ribcage.
Resuscitate me. Bring me to life, but
Don’t disrupt this fantasy
Of you and me.
Always running from one mission to the next
Looking for the dangerous radicals across the globe
I change my name, I change my face, I move from place to place
And using my training to apprehend suspects
Soundly do my job to save the world.
Darkness
Creeping through alleys
Toward unsuspecting victims
I’ll capture you
A spider with a fly
In my web of lies
I’m hungry
Looking for food
Fulfilled by lust
You look at me
Tell me you love me
Tell me you want me
And I’m satisfied.
Every time I turn around
I see you standing there.
You appeared without a sound
And at a glance, filled me with fear.
A blurred silhouette just standing
In the center of the room…
In my head is branding
An uneasy feeling of doom.
I know that I’m the only one
Who can see your kind,
But only after you’re already gone
I realize it’s only in my mind.
She swings and she sways
To the trill of the piano,
With a facade of blonde hair
And the red lips of a vixen
To hide the fear held in her eyes
Of the terminal illness
Dancing in her veins
From dusk ’til dawn.
