My thoughts are like an octopus
And I’m in the middle,
Wrapped in all the tentacles
Barely breathing.

Let it Bleed
She wanted to heal
But day after day
She would lift up the band aid
And find yet a bleeding heart
That just won’t heal. Read more
Letters to the Depressed 2
If you’re reading this, then you probably read the first letter and you’re back as I asked. Or not. It’s just an assumption. I’ve been trying to write to you. But my cares and worries won’t let me. I’ve been trying to speak to you but my voice is muffled inside. I’ve been trying to reach you, to let you know this too shall pass. Well, it either passes or you pass from it. Read more
Dark Nights
I want to find solace in the dark
Even if it is for a night
Hiding behind the shadows
So no one sees the tears
Hot. They fall freely like a waterfall
I’m afraid of the sun
It just might burn my face
So I cover my face with my hands
The cold night pierces deep
With the sharp claws of dark
The pain turns to pleasure
As blood spills, cleaning the void
Oh sweet dark of night!
Take my pain away
Hide my fears behind the shadows
Let the sun not awaken
To my unending tears
Hand in chest-hole in heart
Nothing left behind
