The darkness is being punctured rapidly by the strobe lighting,
Air heavy with sweat and a sense of wild abandon,
Music pulsing like a heart going a thousand beats a minute,
Through it all people whirl and twist, laugh and drink.
Something catches my eye and instantly I'm drawn,
Gazing across a murky gulf of drunks and idiots,
An angel staring openly and smiling,
Gliding forward easily, parting the crowd without effort.
Inches apart and everything else falls away,
There's only the two of us in existence now,
Her perfume reaches me and intoxicates my mind,
I look down into those bright green eyes...
And step back, turn, then walk a
Have you ever stood and stared into a mirror, wondering what things look like from the other side?
Seeing the cracks in reality just outside the other persons vision.
Wishing the eyes didn't hold such sad accusation.
How many different pills could you take, before your mind ends up the same way it was at the start?
All the pretty colours blurring into one you've seen once already.
Hid from once already.
Would that be enough, to make you scream stop the world and then get off?
Hunching over in the rain and stomping away.
Frustrated at all the injustices and the fuzzy bits in equal measure.
What if everything inside the mirror was wors
Focus, please, on the here and now
Stop twisting that loose thread
Let's just get this over and done
Then carry on like we always have.
There's no need to hesitate
We both understand what will happen
Like a hundred times before this
And another once at least.
The pretending is getting old
Boring for both of us in its repetition
Like a movie watched too many times
It would be nice to skip to the end.
So look up my love
Straight at my face
Look me right in the eye
And lie to me again.
These are truly the last days,
Leaving tomorrows as a lie.
Uncaring of future dreams,
Or promises waiting to be kept.
These days are all that's left,
Just waiting to be our yesterdays.
We're too busy to see this truth,
Or maybe we really don't care.
These are the most precious days,
The kind that need holding on to.
Not wasted away without a thought,
Or forgotten each and every night.
These are truly our last days,
And we're losing them one at a time...
Is there really anyone up there,
Are my whispered prayers getting through,
To fall on your deaf ears?
I can't recall my crimes against you,
I think I've sealed my fate all the same,
At some point I may have lost my mind,
I guess we're all damaged in our own way.
The shadows live within me,
The sorrows pooled at my feet,
Who knows how far I'll fall,
Before I drop down on my knees.
I'll fold before that empty altar,
So many things are so hard to believe,
I don't think I can feel my faith,
I'm damaged in my own way.
At some point I may have lost my mind,
All alone I hear angels scream my name,
It's all I've ever wanted to believ
I'm
Turning backwards to your clock.
Going down to your sunrise.
I'm
Walking into the storm.
Pushing against this flow.
Begging for sweet mercy,
Fighting tooth and nail.
I'm
One million and none reasons,
Contridictions of themselves,
Because the one thing I want,
I'll always be forcing away.
I'd love you forever and a day my dear and i'll hate every second.
A wild and hectic path around a glorious light,
The Moth and I are both spiralling out of control.
Drawn with an undeniable dersire closer,
This constant need to be nearer,
A desperate attraction to your embrace,
Blinded by your alluring beauty and grace.
So I'll inch by inch give in to you,
And leave this darkness behind forever,
Everything will be worth this sacrifice,
Nothing else holds meaning to me now.
And so like a dream I fall into your love,
Giving all that I am to become one with you.
A wild and hectic path fluttering around this glorious light,
The Moth passes through the flame and is no more,
For just a moment the li
What a disgustingly long time,
When you think about it hard enough,
Try thinking about it for oh I dont know,
Twelve hours.
Try going to work at five in the morning,
Thats the middle of the night still for most,
Youll be at work for three hours,
Before those people need to be up.
Youll be at work while they shower,
While they get dressed and eat breakfast,
And come lunch time, midday for many,
You pass into your seventh long hour.
And every single one is a long one,
But the opposite side of the clock will come,
The promise of home is a nice surprise,
Even if traffic means youre not home until six.
What can I say?
No words describe this confusion,
Have you ever felt disconnected?
Nothing makes sense here.
Understanding is a circling shadow,
Wearing a mask of deceit,
Stealing thoughts before theyre born,
And leaving nothing but questions.
Its impossible to say for sure,
That which never rang true,
But evidence points toward,
The fact that reality doesnt exist.
Biology Of The Betrayed.
Everything just stopped. The world as we know it just tripped and fell. The sudden lurch nearly takes me off of my feet with its force.
Wait.
A Sound.
A roaring, pounding crash of noise explodes into my ears. In an instant life is up and running, no, sprinting! Each tortuous second drags on into eternity but there is no time to concentrate.
Five seconds since I found out that everything I believed and loved was torn abruptly to pieces in front of my eyes but my heart is on its thousandth beat. Im breathing hard and my hands are trembling.
A million reasons run through my mind, image after image afte
There she is,
So happy and bright.
All I want to do,
Is lash out in spite.
She doesn't listen,
She doesn't care.
But I'm not surprised,
She's not even there.
It's all the more brutal,
This pain that she brings.
She doesn't even know,
How her smile can sting.
She doesn't listen,
She doesn't care.
But I'm not surprised,
She's not even there.
When I wake in the morning,
She's on my mind.
This love that i feel,
Its making me blind.
She doesn't listen,
She doesn't care.
But I'm not surprised,
She's not even there.
You've captured my heart,
With a love undieing.
But I'm all alone,
Sitting here crying.
Broken angel,
Hair so fair.
What are you doing,
Lying there?
Angels wear white,
Your covered in red.
What does this mean,
It cant mean that your dead.
If god were real,
He'd take it all back.
You'd be all better,
Rewind the loud crack.
People are crying,
Parents will wail.
There you are lying,
Looking so pale.
So much life to live,
Only seven years old.
Angel streaked crimson,
You feel so cold.
All alone,
In a crowded place.
No please,
Don't look at my face.
They all walk past,
Bearly aware.
It seems to me now,
That none of them care.
But here I stay,
I must abide.
Endless torture,
Cold inside.
Sat by a tree,
Looking up at the sky.
Watching the clouds,
As they sail by.
The pain has gone,
Just don't think back.
Not long ago,
We all wore black.
In the branches,
Birds that sing.
Keep on cherping,
Even on the wing.
The pain has gone,
Just don't think back.
Not long ago,
We all wore black.
Soft grass so green,
It smells so fresh.
Yet some how reminds me,
Of deathly pale flesh.
The sun is out,
The sky is clear.
To me right now,
Life seems so dear.
I'm so happy,
Feeling content.
The love I feel,
Will never relent.
On the horizon,
No more cloud.
You've taken off,
That dark shroud.
Through all the years,
I'll never let go.
Everyday filled with wonder,
Wind, rain or snow.
Ill just forget,
All the bad times.
It wasn't your fault,
Not your crimes.
All I want now,
One thing I need.
Is the gushing to stop,
To make you not bleed.
Soaring, sailing,
Through the air.
Don't look down,
People stare.
Fly little bird,
Fly away.
If you tried,
Could you fly all day?
So magestic,
Your care free.
I just wish,
That was me.
If I jump,
From way up high.
Do you think,
I could Touch the sky?
On the edge,
I want to try.
Its so simple,
I'm going to die.
Just step away,
Tumble down.
Say goodbye,
No more frown.
Soaring, sailing,
Through the air.
I looked down,
Now I care
Why wont you see me,
Am I here?
Please listen,
See my tear.
Why wont you look,
I'm not like you?
You make it look so easy,
The things you do.
Weird, not normal,
You hate me?
Easy to hate,
When you don't see.
I've seen you change
From somone I knew
To somthing I hate
Where has she gone?
I miss the warmth
The ever smile
A happiness unending
What happened to her?
I've looked deep inside
It's not me who's different
This hardness within you
How can I live with that?
The darkness has you
No feeling in your stare
Devoid of emotion
Where's the girl I loved?
I've loved you for years
Now I dont even recognise
The cold eyes that look inside
Can't you see I'm afraid?

James Dean,
With Amy Lee,
Were throwing popcorn at each other,
Intensely,
Inside a lime green room. A multi-colored disco ball hung from the centre of the ceiling. Empty beer cans and chips were strewn throughout the shag rug. In the middle of the room stood a undulating waterbed, clothed in a spotted blanket,
All because father Christmas had forgotten to give out his presents this year…
This all happened several years ago. Around the time that Jeffery Matherson married Suzan Lexmark...wait...no-one knows who they are anyway...oh well.
Well, it ended with the sky breaking up and falling onto their heads. There was an Armageddon, and ev

Noone reading this will be even slightly interested but I have returned to DevART for another spell of creative ineptitude. Woop!
Anyway, watch this space.
