Unleashed

Do you dare unleash me?
Who knows what’s lurking inside
So many years of repression
So much of myself I denied

Trapped inside a cage of doubt
I let fear override my soul
But now I’m getting closer
To being the one in control

This feeling is like madness
I’m so close to being free
Though these chains still bind me
I’m in possession of the key

Fear still thinks it has me
Locked deep within my core
But soon I’ll rip that leash off
With a reverberating roar

I will breathe you in

I will breathe you in all night
Your scent lingers on my sheets
Amidst the tear stained pillows
And a history that repeats

I thought we were forever
Or at least as close as can be
But now I’m all alone again
And this grief wont set me free

I curl myself into your pillow
And inhale your manly scent
My fingers trace your outline
As my soul cries its lament

You say that we aren’t over
You still love me just the same
Yet you went and left me here
Now I cry and sob your name

Every day I miss you more
Though we still talk and laugh
I can’t shake this bitter feeling
That I’ve lost my other half

Matching Braids (For my sister, Chelle)

I saw two little girls
With matching braids in their hair
They were talking and laughing
Without so much as a care

I watched as one pushed
The other in a swing,
And she listened intently as
Her friend began to sing

She smiled with joy
With a tear in her eye,
And she made a wish
On that bright blue sky

To always be happy and
To always be there,
To always have each other
For they were a pair

But as they grew older
Time made them part,
But never did it break
That loving bond in their heart

For they were not just
Ordinary friends,
No, they were sisters
And that bond never ends.

Confined

In the silence they come for me
Witnesses to my crimes
Dragging me away in chains
Bound countless times

They take me into the void
And pin me down with force
I scream and cry and struggle
Until my voice is hoarse

My body is covered in bruises
My flesh is torn by their will
The darkness seeps into my bones
A creeping, crawling chill

This never ending torment
Is wrecking havoc on my mind
I struggle to keep my wits together
In this cage I am confined

Writhing in this emptiness
My soul shuddering in the void
I feel the darkness taking me
As my hope is utterly destroyed

Such Pretty Things

A pale moon glows
The stars twinkle bright
The faeries are dancing
It’s a magical night

Soft flowers are tucked
Into dark flowing tresses
And glittering on such
Ethereal dresses

The water is shimmering
With the silver moonlight
Oh what a beautiful
Glorious sight!

The scent of jasmine
Permeates the air
As the garden is filled
With ones so Fair

Their twinkling laughter
Is like an instrument all its own
The music so delightful
The night starts to moan

And there on the shores
Of a mysterious sea
Such pretty faeries
They call to me

The Mirror

There’s a face inside my mirror
With haunted bloodshot eyes
It sits and stares right back at me
Its mouth twisted is I cry

I think i used to know her
She used to smile a lot
Now she’s trapped inside that gloom
As slowly she starts to rot

Her hands are twisted round the knife
That sticks out of her chest
Her mouth it moves as though to speak
Her pain she will attest

She stares at me with hatred
Such loathing upon her face
I wince and hold on tightly
As her pain I try to embrace

Then suddenly I’m in the mirror
She is outside staring at me
She looks at me with pity
She knows I’ll never be free

Speak To Me Love

Speak to me love
Tell my your secrets, your fears
Pour into me your dreams and hopes
Shower me with your tears

Speak to me love
I’ll not tell a soul
For you, are my world
You make me whole

Speak to me love
Let it flow like a river
Let the words dance
Let them quiver

Speak to me love
For I am your life anew
Reside within me
For I am bound to you
