Mental

(A December repost)

The diamond girl's been ringin' all night
The world's strongest stone is cutting
Through flesh straight to snow white

Bone

Severed by a telephone line wrapped
Around my tissue wrist, disintegrating
In the sin of September, jailed for slicing

Alone

Wires criss-cross over my blackened eyes
Seven inches of glass can't seal out these
Broken screams that stab under my nails

Nightmares

The pills that slide down my throat swell
Inside my head, I've finally found insanity
Peace is internal, the chaos has always been

Out there

So hold me tight, shadow projection
Dig the hole with a needle, sedate me
Silence the terror and break in these sheets

Haunted

Cut, cut out those memories sunken
Into the depths of my subconscious
Pretend I was never the child no one

Wanted

The sweet crimson dances along
Every crevice full, every beige tile
Ruined, splattered, crying red beauty

Below

The splits in my ends pull apart
A half-hair strand dangles in the starlight
I wonder if I will ever catch up to the

Slow

I beg my flushed skin to rot right off
Pray my honey brown eyes grow mold
Hope and wish and dream for

Destruction

I can no longer breathe stale air
Or hide the scent of my own blood
No longer will I live under another's

Instruction

In the land of the forgotten

Your words wrapped deep around my mind
Getting tighter, and tighter
Until all I could think about
Wer the words that excreted from your dark mind
