Haunted

 

She opens her eyes
wide
drowning in the light

she opens her eyes
wider
imploding darts of darkness dance

vulnerable, intolerable to the trauma haunting

She shuts her eyes
tight
swimming in the darkness

she shuts her eyes
tighter
exploding darts of light dance

invisible, invincible to the trauma that once haunted...

 

Ode to Teri

 

Your blonde hair brushes against my shoulders while I dream, while I dream of the memories...
Your brown eyes watch over me while I live, while I live in the memories...
I can hear you whisper words of light, while I whisper secretly the memories...

The rage of this loss envelopes me
The bloodied red tears of my eyes burn against my haunted flesh
Then your dainty fingers sooth my scorching skin
I feel your calming touch throughout these broken bones
My lips curl... a smile? A smile!

Oh, my faery child, your beauty lives on... for the loved, my darling, can never die...

 

You Know What You Did Bastard

 

You took my throat,
Held it with your two strong hands,
Gently,
I trusted your grip,

But the pressure got harder, stronger... dangerous...

Your face is engraved on me,
I try to wash it off my skin,
Bleeding,
Why did I trust your grip?

My flesh is raw from the seering water

You ruined me,
No body knows the real extent,
I dont know the real extent,
Help me,
Why did i trust your grip?

Your gentle grip
Your hard grip
Your dangerous grip

Now I am left to pick up your pieces
But I'm crippled and can't reach the floor
I see blurred faces watching me
Judging me
Hating me

All around me people are dying
Im choking for air
I can still feel your fingers bruising my neck
Your daggers pierce my throat

I hate you
I hate you
I hate you

You say you loved me?

You loved me
You loved me
You loved me

You killed me.
