Shatter

How lost I have become 

In these woods of yours

You, the cowardly wolf

Howling silently 

At a Moon that

You will never 

Have the courage 

To be illuminated by

Ego bruised

Like my thighs

I tried to stay

So soft

For 

So long

But my veneer

Is ready to 

Shatter 

At your feet

Into a million

Sharp pieces

That your feeble

And bloody fingers

Will never 

Be able to piece

Back together again.

Promises

I promise to not open my heart

For every wounded soul 

I promise to not wear my headphones

Whilst walking the train tracks

I promise to get more sleep

I promise to eat better

I promise to take a break 

From the whiskey
When the bottles
Disappear faster than
I can pay for them.

I have been playing house
For years now
Loving everyone but myself
Becoming lonely and numb
To all that surrounds me
Soaking in long hot baths
To remove the pain and doubt
I still come out feeling
Unwashed and unworthy
One day I will remember

All the beauty

I have experienced 

And tears of happiness
Will pour from my eyes.

I have claw mark wounds
Flooding like rivers
Hemorrhaging from inside
When it comes to misery

I have the mind of an elephant 

I can never fucking let go
I know now that I have to
Before it consumes me
Even if I have to burn
It all to begin again.

Crescent? Burn and Destroy? Insert title here...

Soul of metal

Heart of stone

I howl 

Alone

Burn  

destroy x4

Trying to keep

Us sane

Far beyond

This fucking pain

Sacrifice and

No ones right

The sins

Have stained us all

Burn 

And 

Destroy x's 4

In the darkness 

Of the night

Where No one 

Can hear you fight

I will hold you

Still and tight

Quiet those demons

That claw from inside

The crescent moon

Pulls you in

Burn all you know 

To begin again x2
