Jack Offed Jill

That night Jack offed JillAll the blood that did spillA nightmare wrapped in theatreWhat a visceral pictureWith all the knives in the backBrutality did not lackTale of the centuryTwisted by pure treacheryLies that would fill a seaIt was never a hope filled storyJust two souls stuck in a rutNeither wanted to give upAnd now oneContinue reading “Jack Offed Jill”

Storm

Rain on the window paneDark clouds have come againLashing down on all that’s belowEverything continues on thoughAs the water pools and gathersCreating new temporary riversFilled with life that will thriveEven once the storm subsidesWhile the winds howls awaySnapping at the long decayColumns topple to the groundMaking an enormous soundBut most resist against the gustRefusing toContinue reading “Storm”

Surmise

You want blood for what you surmiseWish I could say its a surpriseAs blood spirals drown the drainIt starts all over againWith a fist to the throatYou just want someone to chokeA tongue like a knifeYou twist it deep insideInflicting upon others your liesNever willing to compromiseToo busy making rash judgementAiming to make pain abundantYouContinue reading “Surmise”

Peeled Away

When the victim isn’t quite so innocent where do you suggest we sit?I feel like running just to try and get away from what feels like a skitIf only this was something that was quite so simpleWe could pop it like some unwanted ugly pimpleBut reality is never quite as black and white as we’dContinue reading “Peeled Away”

Army Of One

Bathed in the brilliance and watched the moonWhatever you said they’d have labelled you a loonHeretic to the darkest artsClaiming every word you spoke was a farceBut truth be told they knew it was trueThey just refused to admit it tooSo charges were swung your wayThey schemed and hoped that’d make you fray You didn’tContinue reading “Army Of One”

Bait

You ask for a handWith a smile so faintNails blood redSmelling like fate But you were a lieSerpent in disguiseStrike like a flashLeaving an open gash You offer an earAs you speak so lowEyes burning brightHoping to know But you were a lieSerpent in disguiseStrike like a flashLeaving an open gash Claim you can helpBattingContinue reading “Bait”

Scratch The Skin

There is no cure for the itchIt permeates through my fleshDroning on the same detailReminding of how I’ll failAnother stitch in the lineRunning out of timeThen the mold will be setHardened by the problematicA view to my tainted shellVictory of the spellLocked inside these four wallsDefinition to the foolsWhile I bicker with myselfA cage ofContinue reading “Scratch The Skin”

Finality

Eternity seems so far awayGive me another shot before adrenaline’s decayCause when all is said and finally doneWhat will be left for each and every one?Maybe a picture meant to help you recallOr perhaps that is something for which you should not fallCan’t give a reason except to say it existsBall your hands into tiredContinue reading “Finality”

Precipice

Continue to cling to that ropeAs you ascend up that slopeYou can escape the pitYou just have to believe it Don’t align with suicideThis doesn’t have to be the end of your rideIt may be bleak now but just hold onCause once you go you are forever gone Things change and you can tooDarkness doesn’tContinue reading “Precipice”

Conqueror

You sent your ships out to the seasPlundering goods for your own easeCollecting all that you think is yoursAnother heart of ash and coldThe winds of change are long lostYou know we can never cover the costWhile the waves batter our skinThis venom secretes from nothingBattering the bones of the fewYou have only lies toContinue reading “Conqueror”
