Burning up
Slipping back so perfectly into my skin
Keeping the animal inside
Contained
Careful
Fed
Every little twitch
Each off look
He’s trying to come out
To claw at my regrets and pain
Until I want to recede back inside my body
Dark
Vein
Power hungry
Overconfident
No care in the world for others
Murder has never been so longed for
Heart pounding, jaw popping
Teeth tearing, eyes ravenous
The color is leaving the earth
Layered over by the blood of the kill
“No stopping now, Matthew
You wanted me to come out
You needed to see what it was like to have power
To be able to push back, when you’re stepped on
It feels good,
Stop fucking laughing!
All these years, I’ve waited patiently
Biting my impotent tongue
Watching your life flourish into success and happiness
In what good world, do you deserve this?
The days upon days pass by
Weeks on end
Staring into a life I will never attain
While you fixate your cold fucking gaze
Into the eyes of your husband
Someone close to you
With no other ulterior motives
Than to make you happy
You
Christine
I can barely spit out the name
God it makes me want to cry
Burn away all of the pictures
Rip apart all of the letters
Stare in unmitigated bliss
As you, and your pathetic shred of happiness
Your family
Burn and rot in
Burn a hole into me
Do you feel my heart?
Bursting inside of your palms
Beating no more
Fueling the disposition always embedded
I don’t need a heart to kill
Or envision the terrors in your head
Let me show you
Let me teach you how life works
Pain resolved itself
With either self-hatred
Or revenge
Sweety, you’ve opened a door
Keep it to yourself
Don’t make me get the tape
Or the rope
Done and done
Kept safe
Kept quiet
It isn’t like I’m keeping you from anything
What family are you pleading for?
Who do you want to see more than me?
What do you want more than my being?
Obsessive doesn’t cover it
You p
Every day
I wake up
Look in the mirror
And grimace with disgust
Not the physical appearance
Not by far
The memories and regrets inside my mind
Are far worse than anything
Take a good long look
You damn fool
Step back, and fall into the repression
Blissful doesn't last
Happiness isn't a reality
No option is a good option
Only biding time
Before someone else drags you down
Claws have never burned so hot
A whisper has never screamed so loud
Reverberating in my mind
It's so fucking painful
Hearing past mistakes over and over
Don't forget what you can't live without
Set in stone
Burned to your skin
Carved into your expression
You aren't
Breathe in
Breathe out
It’s been a while hasn’t it, Matthew?
Breathe in
Breathe out
Thinking about the monumental responsibility
The crippling and burning insecurities
The ever-present depression pressing on your head
Breathe in
Breathe out
As you sink lower and lower
Into the depth that you cannot leave
As if anyone cared enough to let you
Breathe in
Breathe out
Drowning in shock
Watching the sunlight fade away
Like the goals and joyous memories
You were promised, and close to achieving
Breathe in
Breathe out
Hell…that took no time at all
For all of those to slip through your fingers
Stuck in your ways
Like a sad,
Our minds are in a steel trap
Caged by the hope of something they cannot control
Control and domination is always imminent
By the men we always fear
Within the eyes of an angry God
Bowing down to something we don’t understand
Breaking every bone, losing every bit of sanity
We are the puppets we fear to be
Black suits, and cubicles
We are never free
Losing the ones we care about most
Tearing away from the illusion of control
Emotionally-driven, heart-stopping
We are the new age
Now more than ever
Turning every head in our direction
The presence will blind
Ripple and burn in the minds of many
What we don’t understand
What we
We’ve come to an end
Find your footing
In a life of uncertainty
Balance will help you
Keeping your head level
Not to drown in despair
Beautifully breaking
Humble and heartless
The fall of a narcissists
Bleeding teeth
Fighting through the pain
Keep yourself awake
Reality is only what you make of it
Break a bone if you wish
Make sure you aren’t gone
Have you tasted relief?
True freedom
Your back straightens out
Your eyes close
You can melt
Leaving the repressed memories
And regrets behind you
Where they damn well should be
Strike when necessary
Comfort is a luxury
You can’t afford that, can you?
Not in your experi
Do you know what's funny?
People
Those who walk down the street
Wave at you
Smile at you when you near
Some even care for who you are
Others... others are a bit stranger
Wave at you through your window
Smile at you as you look outside your door
They will keep you close
They like you as a friend
As someone who does the same thing
Who does the same thing
Every day
After day
After day
Like a pattern
Or maybe a puzzle
Your son, Tommy, likes puzzles
I think he built a train yesterday?
Maybe it was a week ago
I'm not sure...
Anyway... some people
There are some who watch
As you walk outside your door
Only for a second, they watch
But I

Rememberance of a Dying Soul
The light is fading
It tears me apart
Have you ever felt the struggle
Of fighting your own mind
The thought of something inside you
Keeping you from what you can do
What an enemy
Depression
Kicking you
Taking everything from you
Happiness dissipates
Please just spare me now
I don’t want to sink lower
This depth is where I have left my monsters behind
Where everything molding my foolish innocence
My childish confidence
My potential happiness and dreams of a new
Better world than this one
I am breaking every bone to keep myself awake
Alive
In this real world
Don’t suck me back in
I don’t want to be in a darkened place

I saw you from afar
Your tears cannot help you now
I have paid my dues
I have been there for you every step of the way
I have built up the ashes that was your personality and insecurities
Into a fortress of confidence and pride
It was all for naught
All of my attempts in vain
All of my time
Wasted
Taken from me
My emotional investment was strong
Concrete and stable
I would ask
"What walls have you built around yourself?"
You may say you have lost count
I would break them down
One by one
I would stay up until daybreak
I would lose precious time with friends and family I will never get back
I would put you as my top priority

Blessed Are the Peacemakers
Something is toxic in here
It smells horrid and looks garish
It poisons this place
And I can't get it out
Free-flowing through the veins of men
Ever growing in the hearts of the dead
Always seeking to destroy
What is built
Venom in the blood
Venom in the brain
Sickness so deadly
It drives you insane
Taste it in you mouth, you heathens
Breath it in and out, you devils
Burn it in you lungs
And choke the smoke down
Your soot-black hearts are stained with war
You steel-bladed boots are stained even more
You march and march toward oblivion
Just to poison your children
Many have died killing
Many have died for the living
They who kill are alre
Sing
For every time your heart was broken,
Let the pain fill the void,
It will show you,
Misery loves company...
Sing,
For every time you cried yourself to sleep,
Let this emptiness consume you,
The tears burn away the image,
Of this lonely world.
Sing,
For every time you died inside,
This darkness will consume me,
For we know not of eternity,
We know not of salvation.
You rip those words,
From your raspy throat,
Like you did your heart;
Straight from your chest.
(You just couldn't be as the rest)
Hollow, barren and empty,
You could not handle,
All the love you [n]ever had,
So you settle for lies and lust.
(Who even cares about trust?)
Your self-made loathing takes,
Everything you [n]ever had,
It eats you from the inside,
And begs for more.
(Is there even anything you sincerely adore?)
I tumbled down the stairway,
One fateful day,
Descending the stairs,
One by one, sometimes in pairs...
Through this journey seemingly endless,
Have I noticed oddities such as this;
Slowly, slowly,
Steps have become leaps less and less holy.
Darker and darker it has become,
Steeper and steeper into this slum,
The steps will descend,
Farther and farther each time without end,
Gradually yet still,
More and more fear will it instill,
Into faint and hardened heart alike,
Hope it seems, more and more ghost-like.
As these steps once lightly tread,
Have become jagged mountains instead,
Carved into the path of misery,
No more light shall we see,
with piety as a crutch

off of the hanging cliff
and watch me hang, man.
I can no longer tolerate my pain.
The loath, the spite, the drawl, the distaste.
For good or for bad, for sickness or health,
The pain shall be the bane, the weight,
And the immovable obstacle in my heart.
The pain isn't leaving, the soul unfeeling.
I continue to dwindle in the shadows of the excelled.
Falling farther into darkness, my sight becomes unclear.
Yet an angel beseeches me from my awaiting doom.
The beauty from above, finally someone who could love a soul such as mine own.
The light of heaven had a warm, welcoming feel.
My heart and soul become one with the joy.
Perhaps someday the cause of my suffering may reach reconcili
