Alone in this dark room
Spiders are spinning their webs around my heart.
Tied to an oak chair
The crows peck at my flesh.
Decaying soul
Ambered eyes
Nails longing to rip open your skin
Blood longing, rusting steel
My hands have lost all feeling
Dangling over the edge
The birds swoop and plant their claws in my flesh
…Needing just
One more breath
Longing only…
One more injection of poison into my veins.
Many years of desolate dreams
The emptiness of your presence
It tires me
False hope and sweet lamentations mingle together like a disease
You're my disease
Once a crying child I looked to you for love
Your empty stare told me what I always knew
That I could never find comfort in the eyes of this man; you
Left alone and desolate, I cried for you, yearned for you, hated you
You were my everything and you were my nothing
A birthday too late to sew back the love you once took
Empty black scars remind me of you
Wounds once peeled apart by your mere presence
The time to heal myself has come
But somehow I can't do this
I can't do this
Cold winter days
Long dark nights
Fires crackle in the grates
Yet still we are apart
Six feet doesn't seem that far
Yet an eternity is wasted on avoiding the pain
Missing you is like my death
Crying out, I am not saved
Breath is escaping, none put back
Empty arms, blank stares
Your caress would warm me, if only
The days were longer, the sun brighter
Darkness encloses us
Yet I can still see your light
Soft scratches as the feather slices the paper
Words spilled like an ink well once overflowed
Stained walls and a dripping roof
Broken floorboards engulfed in burns from candles carelessly strewn
A window is open by a dark fireplace; absorbing life's stories like a black hole,
As the timeless soul sits at the desk watching sand fall
The pale curtains are caressed by the soft whisper of Zephyr
As the three Graces perform their eternal dance while stories are told
Lives are sold
Broken bed springs and scratched walls
Yellow Roses stripped bare
White Lilies placed on pine so fresh
Her life was sold
Now the story is told
Hovering next to my window
I see my souless angel
Black wings
Mouth sewn shut
Eyes as black as a moonless night
I stumble and fall
My breath caught in my throat
Eyes fixated at my window
A white feather falls
And is blown across fields of blue
My angel has lost his last feather;
Wings of bone now beat in the wind
His ripped cloak is covered with thick, black blood
Torn from days of attempted salvation that were never fulfilled
He stares at me
Extends out his bony arm
Words enter my mind;
Spoken from lips shut
I blink and he is gone
Yet one feather remains
Blown across fields of blue
Entwining with the wind
Till one day i
The other side of my night by braceletsofsmoke, literature
Literature
The other side of my night
Last night I died because of you.
Black petals falling from a rose so red.
My roots have dried up
And curled in for the night.
No tears are wept,
My heart is cold.
Feeling lost and hungry,
I lie in the snow so soft.
Clutching around me my torn blanket of desire,
Battered and frayed from the long lonely nights.
Lying here so mellow,
I watch as the white snow turns black with every touch.
Yet, I just want you to know,
I'd die for you again.

Dream or Reality ll
Only in your dreams am I real.
Where thoughts bloom like budded roses
And monsters become your hunter
Alone, I'm left to lie in the streets,
Where my worst fears search for me
Smelling my scent and hearing my rasps
You bound and gagged me,
Pulled ropes tightly around my body, hindering my escape.
So I'm left without a choice,
You cant even hear me screaming
Your so desperate to make me a reality
That you keep me here, held prisoner in this baron land,
I plead with you, hands shaking and heart beating fast
And with a twinkle in your eye, and a curve of smile on your lips
You shake your head and utter one, simple word
I'm trapped
Only in your dreams am I real
Where thoughts bloom like budded roses
And monsters become your hunter
Alone, I'm left to lie in the streets
Where my worst fears dwell,
Ready to destroy me
So deperate to make me a reality
You keep me here - pleading
Bound and gagged I'm left without a choice
I cant escape - you cant even hear me screaming
You still hope that one day I'll be yours
But I'll be trapped in your dreams forever
Nothing I could say would impact your mind
so, quiet I'm going to be
And quiet I'm going to stay
Until you untie me
And set me free
Her sweet addiction by braceletsofsmoke, literature
Literature
Her sweet addiction
She thought she had cried the last tears of sadness from her memory
Yet more tears meant for silent nights stream down her pale, clamy face
Her tortured soul lies crumpled and deflated at the bottom of a dark, empty chasm
Dust has settled on her cold, dead heart, that stopped beating years ago
She allows the hot tears to sting her face once more as she reaches for something to dull her pain
A knife, it\'ll do, shes used it many times before
As she slices through her thin skin
She feels the warm release
Pain is replaced by more pain, until she can can feel no more
Ah, the feeling is so sweet
She lies back and lets the feeling of calm
It feels cold against my palm
I hold it so softly
Something so small can make such a difference
I want the pain to end
To stop these unbearable thoughts
Something so small can make such a difference
My hand trembles slightly as I press it against my scalp
My finger curls around the trigger
Something so small can make such a difference
I take my last breath
Creul images flashing through my mind
Something so small can make such a difference
She pulled the trigger
Sweet crimson wetness dripped down the cream walls
Thoughts that once tainted her mind
Now taint the walls
Her Broken Sandcastle by braceletsofsmoke, literature
Literature
Her Broken Sandcastle
she had spent ages building it up
felt like years
it was tall and beautiful
perfectly designed
many windows covered its exteerior
made for curious inquisitors of her creation
now those windows are broken
the walls have crumbled in
for someone stepped on her creation
they crushed it, broke it, disregarded it
now all she is left with is a broken shell
what was once great, full of hopes, dreams and expectations
she kneels infront of her once beautiful chateu of dreams
and runs her fingers through the grains of her heart
tears pour from her blue eyes
as she watches her dreams pass through her hands
so small
so insignificant
so p
My Daddy Is Lovely by braceletsofsmoke, literature
Literature
My Daddy Is Lovely
she lies amongst her teddies
so comfortable, so cozy, so peaceful
she sleeps a deep sleep, dreaming of flowers and bright days
for her days are far from bright
she is daddy\'s little girl
she is his release
she knows what shes on this earth for
to make daddy feel better and relaxed
why would she know any different
shes only a baby
the bruises only last for a few days
the pain lasts for less
she knows not to cry, to show herself up
daddy doesnt like that
\'crying is only for the sad, and your not sad are you\'
said daddy
this house was never filled with laughter and memories of happy days
only, and always, an eery silence fill
She feels empty
Like her body is just a shell for an infinity of darkness inside
Closed off in her own little world
Where it is so dark
She can see through the darkness
Because shes been there too long
The blackness has become light
If she were to emerge from her hole, it would be too bright
Reality would kill her
She needs to stay in her shell
For safety
To survive
She once graced the skies
Ever so fragile, she soared high above the clouds
She watched the sunrise and sunset from her flower filled garden
Now she cowers in the corner
Her wings protecting her from her master
Those once pristine, bright white wings
Are now dirty, black and torn to shreds
Yet she still pulls the remaining tethers around her frail and battered body
She needs protection, and her wings are her only hope
But they have nearly all gone
Snapped featheres litter the floor
Out of her reach, too far away to be repared
They are gone
She sits there shaking and tired
Hungry and dirty
Waiting for release
She buries her hea
Blood Stained Pillows by braceletsofsmoke, literature
Literature
Blood Stained Pillows
blood stained pillows
absorb my broken tears of yesterday
eyes bloodshot
pouring tears
breaths sharp
like knives, needles
puncture skin
pain, so much pain
memories of clear nights
and clean sheets fill my mind
sleepless nights
filled with thoughts, wonderings
blood stained sheets engulf me
blood stained pillows suffocate me
just from tears
my silly little tears
Troubled sleep
Blackened nights
Haunted dreams
These ghosts will never leave
Bright days
Summer breeze
Dark soils
Those ghosts absorb my presence
Happy children
Singing beautiful tunes
Among the howls of my stalkers
Never to be free
Release is a joke
I\'m forever to be haunted
By my faceless ghosts
Falling leaves
From silver trees
Grace the ground
With no trace of sound
In this place
You leave a blank face
No more to say
You cannot stay
You must go,
I wish I didnt know
The reason for you pain,
If only I wasnt so vain.
You once warmed my bed
Now, I just wish you dead
Betrayal is my fire
What used to be my desire
Sick and twisted
Who is the liar
I thought I had you
Fresh like the morning\'s dew
No longer do you have me
No longer I am me
My lips make no sound
As my broken heart falls to the ground
Red ribbons slide of my wrists
Fall on the floor in a puddle of crimson softness
A story told from within the ribbons spilled
Liflessly on the floor
Clear diamonds slide down my cheeks
Skin absorbing the priclessness of the moment
Fully aware of how much it is worth
The diamonds join the ribbons and embrace
Brown hair swirling around my shoulders
Catching the remains of those diamonds
Trying hard to save them so magnificently
My ribbons aren't made of slik or lace
They surround me gently
As more diamonds slide down my face
Diamonds turn to rubies
Minutes pass into hours
All the hours you've let slip by
And now you're sleeping
