The sword clattered to the ground
As the lovely Maiden stepped forward
His eyes glazed over
Such beauty he had never seen before
...

Why do you stare?
What am I to you?
Who am I?
Am I nothing but eye candy?
...

The ice-cold hand grips my throat
My voice too small to cry out
I am trapped.
Nowhere to run
...

Sara was a girl
Nothing special about her
Just another girl in the crowd
No one ever noticed her
...

My heart is in two
I lie bloody on the floor
She stands over me
Never, never did I think it would come to this
...

Why is it gone?
Why can’t I write?
Where did all my creativity go?
Where are the characters that used to fill my mind?
...

I was there by your side
I helped you
We spent long hours together
Then I realized I meant nothing to you
...

What can I say?
Do the words I speak matter?
Can I do what I wish?
Every word I speak seems to fall on deaf ears
...

I need to escape
I am wrapped up in its webs
Every where I go it follows me
I cry help, but it never leaves my throat
...

What can I tell you?
I cannot voice the truth
It hurts me not to be able to tell you
I am a coward, one could say
...

My heart is torn in half
As my eyes water
The world spins on forever laughing at me
People surround me, yet they pass me by
...

I can feel your warm breath against my neck
Your arms reach around me and pull me towards you
Your embrace excites me
I spin to face you
...

Why am I so different? Why do I hide?
Why are they different? Why do they hide?

Murders, cutters, lovers, politicians
...

I just lay here staring at the ceiling
With a feeling of longing
She was here beside me just a moment ago
Now she is gone
...

To my left stands the love of my life
But to the right stands a friend
My heart beats for both
I feel the happiest I ever have when I spend time with either
...

The walls enclose around me
I try to reach out but it seems my arms are bound
Men in lab coats stare at me through a slot in the door
I scream for them to let me out
...

I stare across the bed
There she lies
Her blood creeping out of her head
My hands quiver as she dies
...

At the end of the world lays a glistening sea
The water glimmers in the sunlight as far as the eye can see
The waves rise and fall
Boats are lost as they plummet over the edge
...

The sun sets, as the day grows old
Like the days of man grow to an end
Escape always on the mind
Every breath taken is one closer to the last
...

In the darkest bowels
Of the sunless night
When there is no hope or light
There you shine
...
