Shards of frosty slivered glass
Slice ribbons of his flesh.
The flowing scarlet is still warm,
The pain is still quite fresh.
Glittery fragments lay about him,
Eyes are open, face is down
Dark hair flutters in the wind
His limbs sprawled on the ground.
That broken heart no longer beats
One soul has left this Earth.
I'll miss you, dear one, terribly.
If you had only known your worth.

Sarah.

Sweetened envy oozes from
Your saucy lips, your glaring eyes
Slender hand on coy poised waist.
You think yourself so wise.
I hate the way they gather 'round
And hang on every lie
Why do you hurt me, broken one?
I have already died.

I can stroke your crumbling skin
And feel the blood throbbing within
Your life, it seems, is being spilled
From unfirm veins; pallid and chilled
You've been since she stopped loving you
Your warmth and sweetness told the truth.
But now, you sit, and stare, unmoving.
Misery to you is soothing.
My lonely tears can't buy you grace;
I watch you slowly waste away.

Why do you call to me?
Lover of flame
I shall not feel your touch again
You wander seaching in the mire
While I'm consumed with scarlet fire.

I can no longer hear the tick
Of time from any clock.
For those immortal, time can never
Slow, or start, or stop.
Death and dying in our world.
Are ever sorely missed
Can life ever be worth living
If it does not exist?

His smooth sly words slipped in-between

Her barriers so strong

Convincing her what she had once

Believed was right was wrong.

He wrapped his arms around her tight

And murmured in her ear

Those butterfly words, rose whisp'rings

He knew she longed to hear.

There was no longer room

For Insecurity and Shame

For they were pushed out of her soul

Once sweet Affection came.

Under a skye of puffy dark
Immersed in whirling wind
I wandered, aimless, restlessly,
And rain caressed my skin.
Thunder rumbling through the dawn
Awoke my sleeping soul
And right there I began to dance
Torrents fell hard and cold.

She watches. Listens. Tastes.
Cries.
Feels the hopeless feeling rise.
Feels their bitter, laughing scorn.
Feels the icy cold of morn.
Watches the rain.... pitter-pat
The joy she once had now falls flat.
Water burns against her skin
Blood and metal churn and spin
The thorns and lies caress her wounds
And glazed eyes gaze at pallid moon.

How could you have known?
Oh bringer of the rain
That I had slain
The one that I loved
Like a whisper
In my ear
Always near
To my cold eyes
Burning shame consumes me now
You knew my fate
You felt my hate
Twisting, eating,
Chilling fear
She was here
And now she knows
Please just look
Away from me
I wished you'd see
A different side

Anne.
The word is bitter and crisp on my tongue.
Anne.
The sourness lingers, the putrid tone fills my mind.
Anne.
You dirty little liar. How could I have been so blind.
Anne.
You knew I would fall for you, didn't you? You knew I would grasp your love and clutch it for as long as I could. You were very aware, weren't you dear, that I would make a better victim than your last.
Anne.
I am not sad, no, just angry, and horrified. White hot rage courses through my body, freezing my already tense hands. FURY and Lust for revenge tempt me constantly, their sweet tendrils slithering through my thoughts. They halt at my pity, and consume it with loathing, covering my last tender thoughts with black icyness.
Anne.
Just...
Anne

When I looked at you
My eyes betrayed me
The silence spoke louder
Than what I claimed to be
Love and agony
Became one and the same
A never-ending torture
I bore with much pain
Love is just a curse to me,
Ever occupying my mind
Love, always hiding
Never able to find

Misty evermore
Lay the wood dark and still
Clumpy trunks stood quietly
Beyond the windowsill
Frosted patterns glittering
In lonely candlelight
Button nose and pudgy hands

Smushed up against glass tight

Peering out of cold window
The little one saw then
A burst of light over a hill
The sky now rosy golden
The peaceful night shrunk back quickly
As newborn sunbeams chased
Reluctant stars from pink-streaked sky
Flitting about they raced
Awestruck she stood there some time
Listening while fledglings cheeped
Watching her small world transform
With wide brown eyes she peeped

constantly avoiding eyes
that stared at her from everywhere
shuffling down the long brick hall
she dropped a book; didnt care
tears welling in bloodshot eyes
she turned into the only place
that she could hide from everyone
feel the warmth drip down her face
screaming bleeding wishing he
would get out of her mind.
ever looking for the one thing
she could never find

Flickering across old bricks
The flames held hands and danced
Embracing, twisting, in-and-out
Of thrice-charred logs they pranced
Spinning 'round and 'round
Shadows mimicked every deed
'Till gusty Wind burst through the cracks
And seized them in his greed

Stirring, churning, mixing
So the chilly wind whipped round
Delicate snowflakes made their way
Toward crusty frozen ground
Spilling softly from white cloud
Floating in night air
'Till hovering o'er silent pine
They softly rested there
