Try Again
Should I hold out my heart, and try again?Or hold it tight, locked safely within? Do I dare to trust, to hope once more?Or hide in terror, battered and forlorn? I trusted once, one who was a friend.To be there till the very end? Promises were made, never to be kept.My mind was broken, and Continue reading

A Friend
A friend my dear is all I’ll ever be.From now until the end of eternity. I feel more deeply than you’ll ever see.But I’ll hide it, for I know it will never be. I have nothing to offer, nothing to gain.Nothing of interest, I’m far too plain. With others, I’ve tried, yet always have failed.So Continue reading

Down the Rabbit Hole
Lonely thoughts in a lonely mind.Will happiness I ever find?Body weakened, soul destroyedFeeling like a useless toy.Caged in darkness hells black pitLife is nothing, just a cruel bitch.The mind a disaster, the soul a calamityThe only choice left, utter insanity. Continue reading
