[hometext] => Most of my poems/essays revolve around this topic...
[bodytext] => Scream a song for me, my love Make the pain fall between the cracks of your brittle heart Love is trust, trust is love I have neither in my hands I walk this black path alone. I hate this and what I am. What have I come to be? Where is my innocence lost so long ago? Still falling in darkness… forever falling… My soul has captured nothing in this journey Grasping, clawing; Don’t leave me here, You promised, you promised… And this is where my trust slips away, this is where you’ve made your mistake Fragile as I am, I still understand Nobody can love me With loving me comes chains Chains to rub your skin raw in my hurt. I want you to feel as I do; I want you to be free, for I can never be. Take me with you. Lies, all lies. With memories to fill the nights I sleep Nightmares to awaken me, screams absorbed into my mentality. Blood travels in slow motion, seeping between the moon and stars And I’m dreaming of you tonight Thrown into the ink, thrashing violently beneath your laughter Beneath your promises Betrayal is here Where I’ve come to claim defeat My eyes lift to see the thunder roll in from all sides Tears streak my face, the face of a coward Into my cage I return to bleed Into a cage without a key “Don’t fret, love, I have the key.” I cover my ears as the laughter begins It grows softer as you amble away Into the distance my eyes search for a sign A fool to keep looking, a fool to believe Will you never learn?
