Arachnid

Creeping, crawling, are they calling?As they weave from up aboveWatching without an ounce of loveFashioning reams of silk to throwSoon you’ll meet their fangs of woeSilent as the air aroundWill they ever be seen or found?Making home in dark cornersWaiting for prey to cross bordersTrapped within the web of liesUntil the spider collects its prizeCocooningContinue reading “Arachnid”

Deceive

A blank mind in a blank skinThis world is doing me inWith fractured calls and shattered criesWhen will something surprise? Worming through the empty daysI feel the void eating awayEven as the cacophony continues to riseCan we just end this demise? Sleight of hand beneath the noseBut soon you’ll be stealing thoseWhile the bones constantlyContinue reading “Deceive”

Spiralling

Passing the river with another cryA whole life of nothing but goodbyeSeeking a glimpse of the night skyYou still haven’t found your own wayA mirror of shade that you keep insideGlances of what you once called prideNo option to be more than a prospectStabbing out with a lack of respectBuilding up walls of hate andContinue reading “Spiralling”

There’s no blurb for this one as it was based off a single line I wrote (though I did do an outline before I wrote it). It’s not too long (about 9300 words) and there are no page breaksContinue reading “Bloody Banquet”

Phantom

Will you call into the night sky?Ask for the reason you had to fade awayCursing out every single solitary dayBegging for a chance at a redemption storyBut all you get are the night soundsWhispers and shadows sit all aroundNo words of remorse or a shred of respectThis madness will consume your every momentWhat sad taleContinue reading “Phantom”
