Come and Play

The fire ignites my inner darkness.

The moon hides behind the clouds.

The whisper of the wind.

Street lights flicker as the hour approaches.

The clock tower chimes twelve releasing the horror of the night.

Broken souls float across the beaten earth.

Sinners flood out into the night as saints run for cover.

Fire spreads as they wake.

Demons consume the innocent and terrorize the heavens.

Graveyards hiss with the secrets of the dead.

Crisp air sweeps through once warm homes.

Shadows play on the wall as spirits dance in the churchyard.

Freakish screams echo through the darkness.

Silently the night whisper, "Come and play."

Masks

Starting to feel the distance come between us.

I love you, i always have, i never stopped, i never will.

A place in my heart you will always have.

Waiting for the fall.

An out stretched hand i could not reach.

Sinking faster and faster into darkness.

Cuts cover his thighs.

Feeling alive as crimson runs down his leg.

Red smears the mirror...

His face beaten down.

Unrecognizable to himself.

Harder to breathe.

Lost inside his mind.

Racing thoughts diluted with drugs.

Stumbling around.

Self-destructive by nature.

Twitching uncontrollably.

Losing time.

Ticking away.

Fading back into the crowd.

Covered up, perfect mask.

numb.

not angry or sad, but numb.

stuck in purgatory.

lost in a lifeless spin.

emotionless.

never the one to say the right thing, at the right time.

lost in my own racing mind.

trying to navigate the deepest, darkest spots.

watching as the world crumbles around me.

cold steal

The cold feel of steal against his throat.

Shimmering in the moonlight.

Twitching uncontrollably.

Cold sweats drip onto the floor.

Blood flows through ice cold veins.

The slit runs wide across his throat letting the blood spill into the bath tub.

Eyes roll back inside his head.

Gagging on his own blood.

Eyes never closing.

Staring dead into your soul.
