An unwanted hand creeps up your thigh

Your insides shrivel and you want to cry

A warm breath on the nape of your neck

Putrid and vile and reeking of threat

Another hand grips your arm

Pulling you close, promising harm

Uninvited lips pounce on your skin

Now a statue you wonder, how did this all begin?...

Tiny bipedal bugs scurry along the base of my vehicle. Their vibrant red shells a stark contrast to the white powder beneath them. I let out a thick heave of air and watch as the particles condense in front of me. Whatever planet I have landed on it is a cold and cruel one.

Taking a deep breath in I unhook myself from my seat and attempt to rise. The world is spinning around me as a great weig...

A silky smile snakes across your lips shattering any hope I had of going home alone tonight. Frozen in your eyes you may as well be Michaelangelo’s David on loan to my backwoods bar and for some reason you choose be to be your most intimate audience. Although you look as if you were sculpted from stone the warmth that emanates from your body is enough to shoot through my soul; flushing my cheeks a...

Heat fills my bones as I hold it in my hands. Empty, desolate, nothing remaining but the memory of what once was. I throw it to the side and snarl in disgust as a tear trickles down my cheek.

“How could she,” I hiss as I glare up the stairs. Slowly, I ascend, plotting my revenge. “She has to pay for what she’s done.”

As I get to her door I stare at her posters taunting me. “I bet she do...

Slumped in a decrepit wooden chair he peers about his empty living room. A bottle tumbles from his hand, adding to its overall bleakness. He moans, pulls himself to his feet, and trods to the refrigerator. As he peels it open he is forced to squint at the bright light that emanates from it. Grabbing another cool brown bottle he lurches back to his seat, collapsing into it. With stained teeth he cr...

Eyes void of light

Spirit full of spite

Their presence a cold bite

Gnarled fingers reach towards you

Their appearance a broken clue

Of a soul that has been cut through

Revel lights up across their face

Your skin to them a fine lace

Excited it is you they might debase

Rapidly you withdraw

Tension shoots to your jaw

As they rip through you with their gruesome claw

You lose all your might

No...

I lay down beneath the sweet smelling Ponderosa Pines, the snow crunching and creaking beneath me. Flakes gently fall from above dotting my skin like freckles and adoring my eyelashes and hair. The world is still and silent as if the snow has frozen everything on this earth, except for me.

It’s out here that I feel truly alone. I can forget everything and everything outside of this space and j...

Every tear that you shed sparks a fire in my chest

Of sorrow and fear and emotional unrest

Every sob that you take fans the flames

Making my soul want to die for your pains

Every piece of you that breaks breaks me too

Knowing in this world there isn’t much else I can do

Every time you look at me I want to be a mirror

In hopes that it will keep you a little nearer...

My eyes light up

As yours lose that potent shade of blue

Bet you didn’t have a clue

That I was there

Stalking you

Waiting, watching, hoping

Anticipating what would ensue

Until that fateful day

When all my dreams came true

Oh, darling, the door was unlocked

You wanted me and that was the cue

For me to creep up inside

Encounter the one I pursue

Recognition and fear flooded your face

My ra...

Bashful glances

Cheeky smiles

Your hand brushing mine

Love blossoms

Into something wild

Uncontrollable passions

Battles to control me

Keep me bottled up

My beautiful captor

A River of tears

Endless resentment

How did this turn into such a disaster?

You loved me so fiercely that I burned;

Now, you’ll only be left with the ashes...
