Once Upon a Midnight Dreary

Amy Faltot

18 Aug, 2016 11:01 AM
Alone in my own shadow, waiting to find a single day
 To penetrate this foggy atmosphere, I fear I'll find decay
 When the clouds have parted, will I find that I'm a damaged soul
 Or some wooden walls I rest while submerged amongst the soil?
 Still attempting to establish the ground I stand upon but finding cliffs
 I'm too tired to rebuild foundations so I sleep on rocks and sticks
 That's all I get, cause my brain tells me I deserve way less
 All I need is a bullet in the center of my chest

 I tried my hand at alchemy to make myself a heart of gold
 But all I got was arteries collecting copper and molten boring holes
 Inside my veins, I'll paint a faint depiction of my body now

The Silent Sea

Lance Barnwell

19 Aug, 2016 01:36 PM
So I slip beneath the waves of the silent sea
And it's such a cold and fucking lonely place to be
I search, I reach out to the glistening surface
But my fumbling fingers can't grasp, can't get no purchase

And you look down on me, with your red eyes glaring
You're refracted black on black, with a hunchback's bearing
And I can't hear, I can't hear a fucking thing
As the jellyfish bob and the stingrays sting

Now my sweet air is leaving in desperate bubbles
Taking with them all of my toils and troubles

10 Definitions of a Suicidal Soul

Cassandra(Crimson)Marshall

10 Mar, 2014 04:20 PM
Invisible-Faded into the background of the winds of existence
Empty-An eternal void swallowing your entire soul; replacing it completely
Numb-Dead to any emotion of mental thoughts, memories, actions etc.
Scarlett-Color of the tears kissing the open wounds on the flesh of my wrists
Silence-Distance between Death’s grasp and my shallow breaths
Insanity-Acts of which I perform to keep any trace of sanity left in my psyche
Withering-Condition of my mortal body left behind by my cold heart
Deceased-Result of relying on crimson to embrace my ivory skin
Buried-State of my decaying body along with its past
Forgotten-My soul and memories drained from its lifeless corpse

Satan's Hell

Mario Vitale

07 Jun, 2017 01:58 AM
When in time he will be no more
 weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth
 darkened dungeon with no oxygen
 left helpless alone taunt to the flame 
 with intense pain the magic of his passion is gone
 Deceived

 Evil minds that plug destruction plunge in it's flame
 the thought of a drop of water to quench your thirst 
 eyes filled with tombstones
 Demonic beings inflict their madness on you
 the river Styx runs through it's flame

Whisper

Raven Black

Oh sweet cry my angel
Will drink up your tears
Let me soothe the agony
With the hands of a healer
Kiss the sharp edges of soul
To bleed open for you dear

Now
End the misery of me
Somehow
Release the pain inside me
Deep in me

The Human Condition

Places_For_Breathing

Thought I'd paint a picture today
But I couldn't quite keep the colours between the lines
A worn canvas, frayed by time
Lies, writhing and twisting as brush turns stained fabric into dust

Into the insignificant particles that Time itself seeks so greedily to claim
To add to its ever present landscape
To add to the remains of both past and present,
History and future
Consuming what IS and what WAS and what has YET to be..

A half starved gluttony, eternal and all encompassing in its nature

In Darkness

Kerry Valkyrie Baldock Kelly

28 May, 2015 10:33 PM
In an impoverished cruel world she walks,
Forcing a moonshine smile that hides stifled searing tears.

Choking back she integrates with a soulless community,
Altruism is a myth and disappointment reigns supreme.

In silent moments behind closed doors she lets blood,
Beating the walls to release the pain burning inside.

Fighting the two persons struggling in her clouded mind,
Both alone even without each-other screaming to belong.

Hallow

Sarah
let's meet up tonight
at Hallow's cemetery gates
and look to see if anything lurks
there late into the night
under our Moon's light.

We can look for the shadows
of the dead
as they mysteriously appear,
acting nonchalantly,
as if they were always

Death

Sam Emmerton

26 Mar, 2014 07:19 PM
As i sat upon those dank old stairs,
where i met a man who wasn’t there,
With cold dead eyes and a toothy grin,
He held my hand as thou light grew dim,
He whispered in my ear and took my pain,
And made a deal as it began to rain,

My soul to take i did offer the,
But instead he sat me a top his knee,
you will live forever for what you have done,

and strive to be the man you should become,

Can't You Hear

Death is coming for you,
He's coming fast,
No need to run or hide,
Can't you hear, 
The bells of Hell are ringing,
Can't you hear, 
The Hell hounds howling,
Can't you hear,
The burning souls of Hell are screaming,
Can't you hear,
Death is calling your name,
Didn't you hear,
