She taste bitter. I had known her for years and I had learned everything there is to know about her- I know the way she smiles when she speaks as her cheeks glow like honey caught in the light, I know she nods her head as she listen not wanting they to feel unheard, I know the way her hand rest on back and shoulders as she coos words hand crafted to ease your thoughts. I am not alone in knowing th...

I found her in the attic

I was 5 and so was she

We grew up together and I loved her

She has a cute appearance but there’s something strange

It began to frighten me a bit

So I put her back in the attic

I closed the door and I felt something

Her eyes were beady but it felt like she was looking

Looking at _me_

“Of course she is! She’s a doll! What do I expect?” I say

But why does it feel like her pre...

What’s that outside my window?

It doesn’t appear alive.

A swarm of flies surrounds it,

There is no gleam in its eyes.

Alas I see it leaving,

I’d surely like a friend.

I watched the figure dissipate,

As I heard a knock knock knocking on my door....

Proceed with caution

Each thought unknown

Every step seems to sink

While the heart’s beat skip

Foreign feelings soon grip

Your inner self

The soul trembles

Embracing bravery over fear

Crimson tears

Victory comes with death...

The woman called for her love desperately

Hoping he would come back inside

But he stood, stock still by the forestry

Far away from the firelight

His eyes scanned for shuffles and movement in the shrubs

Any day now, any minute he could kill his love

One flutter of an owl, and he would commit

The murder one’s been planning, he would submit

The woman stood near the doorframe, her fingers feelin...

Read if you dare

But if you do

You been warned

But right now I can gladly say

That your heart will beat faster

With every word I say

But for now,

There is an itch on your back

There is an itch when you walk

There is an itch all over you

That you can never reach

When you think

When you read

It will put you into

An uncanny mood

Bugs under your skin

The air crawling onto you

...

Nails on a chalkboard

Fingers in a pinch

Life is on end

Screeching on the floor

The door opening by the air

Hands around your chest

Blood down your check

Tears strain your eyes

The floorboards creaking

Imaginary steps

Whispers of the wind

Hallucinations

Death is on rest

Breathing is uneven

Pass out on floor

Blood around you

Death is at your door...

The floorboards creak with echoes deep

Awake the things that never sleep

A figure stands by the cracked old door

A smile that’s crooked, teeth one more

In the darkness it lingers still

It’s silence colder than the chill

I feel its presence and energy surrounding

The force it conjures left me confounding

I narrowed my eyes and the shadows grin

For they’ve been watching all this time within....

The rings of the bells

The hurdle of it all

It may cause your downfall.

If you ehar a certain ring,

Do not be scared to sing

Because if they call back, and you're free,

They might take you out of glee.

Do not fret,

Yet it is all a bet

Do not fret,

The bet is done, yet

All you can do to truly seal it all

Is to do everything excluding the life

And instead living in immense fright....

Go on,

Drown in this darkness.

Protect this silence like a weakness,

Hold on.

Show me,

Your lost self.

Sinking under bad health,

Prove me.

Give in,

And let yourself go.

Let your tears flow,

It ain’t a motherfucking sin.

Crawl into,

That darkest cave.

Thinking this will save,

But I have been too.

I was there,

Sat on the edge of reason.

Cursing this rotten season,

But now I am without fear.
