Quiero Tu Manos Por Todo Mi Cuerpo

If I could just touch you
Maybe I could breathe
But, because I can't touch you
It's like I can't speak, walk, or see

A look in your eyes-
One like NEVER before
It seems to just haunt me
Until I'm left screaming for more

If only I could feel you
For at least just a moment
Just one touch, one taste-
And, I'd make it mine and just own it

I promise one touch
Is all that I need
I'll then live off of the memory
Of that one touch-I plead...

But, if I do feel you,
I may crumble to the floor
I may extend a hand
And, beg for one more...

It is you that I long for,
As I desperately try to gasp for a breath...
And, I just need to feel YOU...
I now mourn your absence like a death!

And, while they try to bury you
Paralyzed-I fall to the ground!
I try to stand up, I open my mouth,
But, to no surprise-I can't make a sound!

But, I know that you feel it
No words were ever needed...
The memories they haunt me,
Like a button that's stuck, or a show that's repeated-

I can see you and hear you,
I feel the energy lighting the room
The darkness, the light,
A black rose in full bloom

I can practically taste you
It's the Laws of Nature we can't defy
You can't prevent it from happening
It's something that you just can't deny...

I know that you feel me
As I course through your veins
I could be the perfect drug
As I surrender-you hold the reigns!

It's a lust, and a longing
It's DEVOURING need..
It's obsession-I crave you
And, now you feel it, indeed!

So I reach out a hand,
You must embrace this fate
The air, it is thick
And, it IS getting late!

So walk with me,
If only one time...
Because you DO feel my desire...
Yes, we've cross that line.

The Dark Inside of Me

Can you really see
The Dark inside of me?
Can you really tell
That I have walked through hell?

Tell me can you feel-
The masks I try to peel
Instead I stand so cold
Lost, not brave or bold

Tell me can you touch-
My scars; they hurt too much
I just want to know
How to end this show?

Did I hit rewind?
Or do I try to find-
Someone that can be
The rescue within me?

Could the truth be here,
And, is it what I fear?
This person-now am I?
I look up to the sky

And, scream 'I can't believe-
This Demon's inside me! '
'Get this thing right out! '
'HELP! ' I scream and shout

What is this-I am?
Now, I take a stand!
I am trying to fight
I want to see the light

Now more Dark inside
-The light will override
This poison that I hold
How could I stoop so low?

Save me now-I scream
Wake me-from this dream!
I am stuck inside
No more tears I cry

Now I walk alone
My darkness only shown
But, I must break free
THIS-I cannot be!

Will you help me out
Won't you help me free-
What this is all about-
These Demon's inside me?

The Missing Puzzle Piece

I try to think
Of one reason you left me
And, I try to envision
Why you did reject me

Yet, I cannot seem-
To really place it
Or maybe I just can't
Really face it

How could I provide you-
With what heroin could?
How could I give to you-
What that drug, it would?

So seductive, so peaceful
Even graceful when dying
As we'd shoot through sky
So high we were flying

I think of your smile
I remember those eyes
So sad
And, so blue
A devil-
In disguise

YOU were my drug
YOU were my breath
And, now it is over
And, now I face death

So empty-I am
I feel as if I am dead
I now close my eyes
Because, I cannot look ahead

I remember the touch
-The touch of your hand
I remember those feelings
That I now know I can't stand

And, now part of me just
Wants you to bleed
To scream-and to cry!
To feel, and to need

To know what it feels like
To be abandoned
For you to do this to me
I could never even
Have Fathomed

Yet, there it is-
The writing's been written
Across the wall
And, I feel like I've been bitten

By something
That's powerful
And, deadly
And, raw

Like the bite of a viper
Yes, I freeze
But don't thaw

As the venom
Starts flowing
Right through my veins
I scream
And, I choke
As I now lie in pain

I try to get up
Yes, I try to fight
But, it doesn't seem worth it
It just doesn't seem right

So, I kiss you goodbye
And, then I spit in your face!
It is your existance
That I now dream to erase!

Your voice
And, your sorrow
Your anger
And, despair

Your need to keep using
The fact
That you don't even care

One time we lived,
United as one
But, that time has ended
Yes, we've come undone

And, like a puzzle that's missing
It's center piece
I'm left strewn and scattered
Overcome by defeat

Yet, you will be the one
To eventually LOSE
When you are the one
Who again starts to use

And you'll use 'till it's over
And, your RIPPED
And, your BROKEN

As you sit on the floor
Left rotting and CHOKING

And, then I will chuckle
Hell-I might even grin!
My life I'll renew,
A new life I will begin.

The Curtain Closes

I sit here again
Starting once more
Lost yet another friend
And, now I feel as if I've lost the war

Shattered and broken
Now I lay bleeding
A knife through the heart-
To stop the beating

So empty-so lost...
So beauitfully broken
I cry and I sob
On the floor choking

I give up
-This time for certain
I'm done with this play
Please just close the curtain!

And, one single tear drop
Slides down my cheek
As I pray to the unknown
To stop feeling so weak

And, then I stand
And I start walking
I open my mouth;
But, it's like I'm not even talking

I really can't take it-
It's too hard to believe
I did it again!
And, now I can't even see

So now I am falling
And, failing this test
As I hear death calling
I lay here a mess

Make Luv 2 Tha Dead

Seduced by darkness
A slave to the dead
A walking zombie-
So many lose screws in the head!

Uncontrollable feelings
To slice the vein in my neck
And, fall to the ground
A beautiful, bloody wreck

Dreaming of asphyxiation
To be choked, suffocated, and beaten!
Left in the darkness
Clawing and screaming!

The Demon's invade
Yes-they break through again
It's just a cycle of lust
And, obsession over death that won't end

Clawing at my skin
Ripping at the roots of my hair
Yet, I can't seem to find, now,
One single reason left to care

Death? It consumes me.
It takes it's hold, and grips firm
The struggle is infinite
The voice is repetitive and stands stern

I hear one million voices
But, they all say it too
And, there's no way to break free
I just have no fu*king clue

How it even began-
But, this IS my obsession!
And, I'm riding the waves now
Of a deep rooted depression!

I just want to bleed
To see if I'm real
But, even the deepest wound, it seems,
Cannot make me feel

So embracing this fate
That it seems I've been written
I accept defeat
And, allow myself to be bitten

By the bite of The Devil
As death pulls at my soul
My breaths, they grow weaker,
My voice screams out 'no! '

Yet, I continue this journey
I go on and keep walking,
And, as my body shuts down
I am no longer talking

I give into this craving
This twisted desire,
And, I finally embrace-
Death, as I drift higher.

Vicodin

Pills, Pills, Pills
Pills I do adore

Pills, Pills, Pills
Yes, that's right-
Give me more!

'Look at her!
She's such a fien'd! '
'No, I'm not! '
-I try to scream
But, I know the truth
And, so do they
I'v got no chance
In them believing what I say
I'm addicted now
Completely hooked
It's not only my life
But, my sanity they took
All of my pain
All of my frustration
My pills took away
My fantasies of self mutilation
They make feel great
They make me complete
My neurosis they erase
My paranoia they delete
So I eat them for breakfast
For lunch, and for dinner
And, I no longer care whether
I'm a loser or a winner
I eat them all day
Shovel in one right after another
As I try to erase the pained faces
Of my Father and my Mother
And, it's like everybody watches
Yes, they just sit and they listen
As my eyes are tear streaked
So shiny they glisten
It is my pills that I love
It is my pills that I need
It is my pills that I live off of-
Live off of and feed
They make me feel happy
When I'm feeling sad
They make me feel good
When I'm feeling bad
They stop all the thoughts
They seem to flood through my brain
And, they make me feel normal
Even though we all know I'm not sane
Yummy.
I ate them again.
You know its funny?
They have become my only friend
All of this I explain
I scream and I shout
I just want my pills!
I don't care what anything else is about!
You can't have my pills
Give me them back
Give me ten more
Hell-give me a stack!
'Cause I'll die on these things
And, I'll do it in vain!
Because they feel so fu*kin' good
Painkillers really do kill all the pain.

It's Getting Ugly

They want to live
You want to die
You don't know why
You feel the pain
You scream his name
Crying
Trying
Unsuccessfully dying

Is this how it was meant to be?
You
Without me?
Is everything you say a lie?
Why the hell do we even try?
Why do we care?
Take the plunge
Do the dare

And then the day comes:
'I don't love you anymore.'
What is this life...
Worth living for?
Did I love you?
Do I now?
Could it be true
Someway, somehow?

Did you really
Shatter my dreams?
My voice is begging
For you to hear me scream
'Why me? ! '
I scream outloud
And, soon enough
We have a crowd

'She's going to jump! '
Somebody yells
TIC-TOC
The time tells
'Goodbye, ' I whisper
Oh-so-low
I hear some pleas
Of 'please don't go! '

So, forgetting life
Love, and hate
I dive into the air
Accepting my fate
Gasps, and cries
And, begs of 'NO! '
As I reach down
To closer below

And, then it's over
In a flash
My body is mangled
My head is smashed
I can no longer think things through
I can no longer think of you
A new escape-
I now begin
But, in the end
Did I win?

The Junkie's Prayer

This tidal wave
My life overtaken
I surrender again
To the piercing of my flesh
Blood spilling
Pulsating veins
One more time
And, tomorrow...
I promise to stop.

Let's Pretend

Let's Pretend
Life isn't painful
And, love conquers all
Let's say
It's how you get up
And, not how you fall
Let's drowned in cliches
And, choke on the words
Let's read a good poem
And, live by one verse
Can we say that we're heroes?
Fighting this place?
Dominating evil
As we live off of the taste
Maybe we'll be vampires
And live for All Time
Can we just turn into words-
And live inside a rhyme?
How do we escape-
And, were do we go?
Let's say this is a Feature Film
And, not just a TV Show
Where we are the actors
And, life is the script
Can I be the spider-
If you get bit?
Say I am a widow
And, the venom is you
And I'll live in a glass house
When you live in a shoe
Can we make believe
That life is actually 'fair'
Can we pretend-
When we no longer even care?
Let's move to the 'big apple'
And, take a bite out of crime
Let's pretend that we're gangsters
In some Japanese rhyme
I'll be the body
And, you the tattoos
Up and down the chest
How much ink did they use?
I'll be a good joke
With you the punchline
I'll be the jail cell
When and if you do time
Can we just evaporate
Into thin air?
Will you be the ferris wheel
If I'm the fair?
Or how about a pair of eyes
If I'm the glasses?
We could both be like Ghandi
And, sway all the masses
Can I be Picasso?
If you're the paintbrush?
Will you be the alcohol?
If I'm the lush?
Together we'll do this
As we walk side by side
You are my breath
When I feel as if I have died
In fact, you be the coffin
And, I'll be the satin sheets
And, if you are the fire
I swear to be the heat
More than friend,
Through my blood you now stream
You walk through my memory
You join in my day dreams
I love you, and shall now
Forevermore
The time, place and memories
Yes, you'll walk through those doors.

Everybody Is Broken

I'm looking around,
But, it's like everybody is broken!
Suffocation-no breathing!
We all seem to be choking
Spread on the ground
Just like shattered glass
Oh, to be free-
Free of this place now, at last!
Life, that is-
The Journey, the test.
This GOD forsaken battle...
We understand it less and less
Yes, all the broken people
Never asking to be here
Filled with nothing but-
The most intense despair
We fall down to our knees
We beg to find salvation
Ringing through the air
You can hear our desperation!
I try to look away
My eyes I try to close
Because, we ache so much inside
But, it's like it doesn't even show
The Darkness invades
The Dark-it surrounds us
We're bound and we're gagged
And, no light is around us!
We run, and we hide
We then beg for a chance
But, that drug it is sly
And, it takes us at first glance
I want to scream out loud
But, instead I sit here choking
Why are we so lost?
Why are we so broken?
Never really knowing
What to do or say
Never really seeing
The road that is the way
And all we see is darkness
So again we try to hide
But then we cannot find
A way now back inside
So where do all the people go-
When they've become so broken?
How can we prevent the death...
When they sit there choking?

We Are One-We Suffer Together

The Revolution lives…
Mind pollution gives
A reason to this game
A season with no name

A rapture's what we'll call it,
No, you just cannot stall it!
Giving in…seduced by dark
No longer just a Question Mark

Asking why? Or, how? Or, when?
In the dark-yes yet again!
We succumb to all the death around us
We feed and lie
As the rest surround us

A taste so pure
So bloody, fresh
We bite down
Upon the flesh

The sharpest fangs-
They pierce the skin!
And, then this revolution
Does begin…

Taking over, we steal their souls.
In the dark
So nobody knows!
We will win
We will fight
On we go-we feed, we bite!

We stand tall, we have risen
Up above; And now they listen!
Victory
We now know…
In the sunsless slime;
As they scream: "NO! "

Born Inside a Metal Box

Born inside a metal box
I wrestle with the steel-made locks
I'm suffocating
I cannot breathe
Help me GOD
Help me please

I'm banging the walls
I'm yelling out loud
They watch as I suffer
They surround
And, they crowd

I scream for a chance
I beg for some mercy
But, they've tied me down
They've chained and they've cursed me

I'm stuck by myself
I'm here all alone
And, I just can't break through
These walls
Made of stone!

I feel I am caged
As I scream in pure shock
And, I pull
And, I yank
And, try to undo this lock!

I pound on the walls
I shout for some help
Please help me GOD!
Please get me OUT!

But, nobody can hear me
Nobody can help
Nobody can save me
Nobody will get me out

The voices surround me
They gather-
They stare
They whisper
They giggle
As I scream
And, I glare!

I struggle
I fight
I punch
And, I kick
As my stomach is churning
Now I feel sick

But, what I now see
What I now know?
I just can't accept it
So I don't let it show

But, I do know deep down
What my problem, it is
Thsi box that I'm stuck in?
That I'm stuck living with?

What I finally realize
Just in the nick of time
That this box that I'm stuck in? -
This box is my mind.

The Great OD

One Pill
Two Pills
Three Pills
FOUR.

Ten Pills
Twenty Pills
Fifty Pills
FLOOR.

Fall down-
Hit the gorund.

Eyes they blur,
Can't make out a word.

Spinning in circles
Can't seem to breathe
Legs they are swollen
Feet they feel weak
Laughing and crying
It seems like a joke
Like a game you're not playing
With the clear of the smoke
Reaching for help
Needing a hand
Can't even try
To sit
Or to stand
Falling back down
Breaths become weaker
You're starting to drift
Drift even deeper
Hopsital visit
At four in the 'mourn
Heart it seems broken
Yes, heart it seems torn
Parents-awake!
Daughter is dying...
She's left in a heap
On the floor crying
Carted away-
Strapped to a bed
'You're luck you're still-
Alive and not dead! '
But, it seems like a play
It just doesn't seem real
Yet, it's this pulse that they want
It's this life that they steal
Vials of blood
They seem to take
As smiles and sanity
You continue to fake
Grinning through tears
You try to hide
All of the pain
You hold onto your pride
Regurgitation
Takes over now
Out with the bottle;
Out with it somehow
'Everything will be okay-'
You hear in your sleep
You hear them say
But, then you are choking
And, dreaming and done
And, there just simply is no way
That it's these pills that have won
When you awake
When you come to
The pills are now gone
And, you are once again you
And, the pain it subsides
For merely one day
As you fall to your knees
And you begin to pray
You thank the lord
You're still alive
And, you let out a breath
And, you let out a sigh
As you finally see
You finally realize
That it just simply was not
Your time to die.

Potassium is an Essential Nutrient!

I want to peel you
Like I might a rotting banana
Exposing your insides
And, savioring the good
Chewing and swallowing
What's left
Leaving the rotten parts behind
The skin left a heap on the floor;
Waiting for the next person to
Slip, trip or fall over
With the realization that it's empty inside-
Nothing is left.
Even the decay discarded
Seperately,
And divided amongst the pits of human waste.
With the consumption of your soul
Nourishing my body like a silver-white
Soft-light Metallic Chemical Element.

Have You Ever Been To Hell?

Have you ever been to hell?
Well, I can show you how it looks
It sits inside a needle
Guarded by the crooks

All the Devil's children
Stealing souls by day
No matter if we beg
Or, what we do or say

They take away our freedom
They cuff and tie us down
We try to scream out loud
Yet, we cannot make a sound!

The Devil's guards' they are
They sit outside the cage
Dressed in body armour
And, filled with only rage

And, once you're locked inside
You cannot even breathe
So, you better just prepare-
And, remember you can't leave

Poison it does come-
In many forms and shades
It tears apart the people
Who become the Devil's slaves

Fighting for a way
To try and stop the demons
As they enter deep inside
You can hear the victim's screaming

Yet, no exorcism works
The soul it has been taken
The pain is overriden
As the life has been forsaken

Suffocating No Longer

There was once a life she knew
There was once a time she had a clue
There was once a place she did live
Where her life and soul she would not give
To a world so dark, a world so cold
Where she was strong, and brave, and bold
And she was queen, and she was great
Where she would determine her ultimate fate
Yet, that world it vanished, it was gone
As she walked – upon death’s final song
She took a turn, she took a chance
And that drug it took her at first glance
Captivated, intrigued was she
She wanted this drug more than she wanted to breathe
Because it was her air, her only lifeline
Yet she knew it would kill her all in good time
So she started to panic, she started to scream
As she desperately tried to break out of this dream
Yet on she kept going, she kept on the walk
Yes, she kept going ‘till she couldn’t even talk
Choking and bleeding, falling right down
Spinning in circles, till she hit the ground
She begged for her rescue, she screamed for escape
But, this drug just continued to take and to take
Until she was empty, and angry, and grim
She fell to her knees, yet she still lived in sin
Screaming 'Why me? ' – she searched for her savior
'Please help me GOD – Just do me this favor! '
And she lifted her head, and she sat and she stared
And she saw all the faces of those who did care
She wanted to touch them, she wanted to see
She wanted to be able to live and to be
Somebody wise, somebody great
Somebody that she just wouldn’t hate
She reached out a hand, a finger she grazed
And as she felt the warmth, she sat there amazed
Somebody living, somebody alive
She touched somebody that had not yet died
A soul that was real, a soul that was breathing
A soul that was warm, rather than freezing
And the finger it slid across her face
And the girl she was able to finally erase
All of the madness, the pain and the tears
She erased the addiction, and all of her fears
And she let in the light so she could be –
Able to live and to breathe and be free.

The Book Slams Shut

Tell me would I be more beautiful-
If I spoke just like you?
Would I be more willing-
To do the same things that you do?

Superficial and dead;
Yes dead to the core.
Feelings are overrated-
They just seem such a bore!

I felt them all once
Yes, I felt them before
And, then I felt as if I were dying
As if I were Death's Little Wh*re!

So I gave up emotions
I became cold and displaced
I wiped all the tears
That were streaming down my face

I couldn't handle emotions
In love, then in hate
So I ran from my feelings-
I won't be my heart's bait!

Rage now ensues,
Sometimes I feel it.
Yet, even my anger-
I can't seem to reveal it

Life is so fickle
Everything just seems FAKE
That is why it is this world
That I now realize I HATE

I just want to cut myself
To see if I'll bleed
This book now is finished!
It wasn't worth THE READ

So I'm slamming it shut
Yes, I toss it to the ground
No hate has been lost...
And, no love has been found!

If Death Had A Face, It Would Be Pretty.

A porcelain Doll
Dressed like the Grim Reaper
In this pit of pure darkness
I fall even deeper

Shrouded in mystery
Consumed by suicide
An obsession with control
That I try to hide

Playing this life
Like one hand of poker
Where I am the Queen
And, God is the Joker

But, the Devil's the King
Who always reigns surpreme
It's like a nightmare I'm stuck in
Some screwed* up lucid dream

Skies of Vanilla-
Except that they're NOT
All I see is darkness
Until my eyes start to rot

But, then a hint of some light
Again-just a tease!
Another joke from the 'master'
And, now the skies start to freeze

'Hell' may be on fire-
But, it's heaven that's COLD
Eternal Peace?
I'm not entirely sold

'Fiction'-I'll call it
A master-piece, even!
But, darkness consumes me
So, it's fiction I can't believe in!

A view of this world
With a saddist's telescope
That leaves me in agony
With no faith and no hope

I try to look away
Yes, my eyes I try to close
Yet, toward this dark pit
It seems the path that I chose

So on I continue
As if magnetically drawn
Again, with this riddle
As if God's only pawn

Yet, when I get close?
This puzzle-I start to solve
Right in front of my face
The answers seem to dissolve

Then, with wreckless ambition
To simply conquer DEATH
I look to the sky
And, question: what's left?

Like a Pile of Ashes
I lay strewn on the ground
As my voice begs for freedom...
Yet, I don't make a sound.

Transfixed.

I lay in a coffin
Rest my eyes, as I close the lid
Now finally of
-This sorrow, I now rid.

As my body grows limp
And, my breaths start to lessen
A gun slides in my mouth
As I pull the trigger of this wesson

Spewing through the air;
Blood surely splatters
The sound is so raw-
It's mixed with organic matter

The brain; it flatlines.
As does the heart
Farewell to the soul;
Was there even one from the start?

Peaceful and rested
Now I shall seem
Lost in death's trance
Tossed within the dream

Eyes now left nothing-
But, a blank lifeless stare.
Donned in all black.
Peace now fills the air

Waving goodbye
From a place deep within
No longer convinced
This suicide is a sin

Empty and dead
Yes, dead to the core.
I dreamed of this vision.
Yes, I dreamt it before

Now in my death
I find solace and peace
I find my soul at ease
As I now lay deceased.

Just a Horror Picture

Look into my face
Look into my mind
If it's sanity you look for
It's what you probably will not find
Gone are the days
That I had peace of mind
The contract has expired
And I signed the dotted line
There was once a world
A world I thought I knew
But, along with my sanity
That world is gone now too
And, now I sit here stuck
I'm living in this hell
Drugs they did take over
It's my soul that I did sell
I sold it to the devil
As I shot another bag
And, now I sit in pain
And, scream and choke, and gag
But, I cannot stop these cravings
I cannot quit this stuff
The pain it is too real
The addiction is too rough
It's like a scary movie
That I dream to just rewind
Or pause or just start over
But, there's no button I can find
So on I go with living
But, it's drugs that I must quit
Because, I cannot take another day
Living on this sh*t.
