CLutter

Cluttered voices fill my mind.
Dreams shatter in the forms of screams.
Dried blood leaves stains upon the kitchen counter.
Bruises paint the empty canvas of a battered body lying upon bathroom tile.
Broken glass decorates the balcony as stale tobacco fills the air.
Words go unsaid as tension mounts.
Radio fuzz in the background drowns out thoughts.
Hearts beat in unison as the silence builds.
Eyes meet.
Background blurs...
Burning images of you into my mind.
The door slams and you're gone.
Alone again, dragging on my last cigarette.
Slowly wasting away.

Faceless Enemy

Tear drops puddle on the paper as i cry over what never was.
What never could of been.
What i was foolish to believe in.
What i never should of opened up to.
An idea.
An ideal.
A feeling, a chemical reaction.
A word more frighting than hell itself.
The chill of the spine, the mental exhaustion.
The freeze frame of your face burned into my memory.
The broken clock that helps me sleep at night.
The burn of the love letters in the winter wind.
The smell of disaster in the air.
A faceless enemy.
We never had a chance.
Not even a glimpse.
I watched it flutter away without ever thinking "What if?"
Slipped through my fingers, just out reach.
