I like to write in a certain style. Some may say I am depressed. I tell them I am just forever alone. They say they understand. They don't.

The Dance Of Death

We all danced the night away to have fun

Though really it was to forget

We danced and we danced 

Until the clock struck midnight

We left when the clock struck midnight

Now that we danced away our hard ships and sorrows we morn for loved ones 

Always at midnight

When it's best to morn someone

Morning makes you sad so you dance again

And you dance and dance

Until the clock strikes midnight

And you morn

Metal

It's dark

The night sky is black

I want to run but I can't 

I am alone

I think I am alone

But I'm not alone

It scratches

It claws

As it creeps it comes closer 

The metallic scratches on the ground

The teeth banging together 

It's hawk eye vision is funny

I don't know why I find it funny

Opal rings on its right wing

Future is seen in its eyes too

It's tail is covered in purple blood

From what

No life in it whatsoever but it moves

It attacks

But before killing it stops

And meows

Helpless in the hands of others

All it wants is love

All we give it is hatred

Our hatred only diaries and therepists should get

But we send it to this creature instead

This creature inside of us we can't actually see

All we need is a little love

All it wants is more love 

Love will defeat the hatred

Chains

I want to be free 

Of these chains

These chains that bound me

These chains that bound everyone 

I want to be free of these chains

She wants to be free

Of her chains

Those chains that bound her

Those chains that bound everyone

She wants to be free of those chains

He wants to be free

Of his chains

Those chains that bound him

Those chains that bound everyone 

He wants to be free of those chains

Oh the chains the chains

That society claims 

The persisting chains

But is it really

What are those chains

That society claims

That are there

Death

A black cloud covers her face.

The face of the Taken.

The horror stricken face.

The face of a Leaving gone wrong.

Some Leavings are done right.

Are peaceful.

The ones you remember aren't.

Everyone associates Leaving with black.

Why black.

Why can't it be red.

Red is the color of blood.

I want to Leave.

But only when the time is right.

Only when my Stay has become over stayed.

I want to do no harm to loved ones.

I want no harm to be done to me.

Alone

I feel alone. 

I am not alone.

At least on the outside.

On the outside I am surrounded. 

But inside.

I am alone.

No one hears me.

No one cares about me.

No one yearns for me.

I yearn for them.

I yearn for him.

They tell me I am fine.

I don’t tell them how I feel.

I never have.

I tried once.

They didn’t understand.

I am.

Alone.

The Dark Room

Why is it so dark? 

Why is there no Light?

Is there place to move?

Is there place to write?

Am I trapped in here?

In this Dark Room.

Under control of this Dark Room.

Under siege of this Dark Room.

You do what it says.

I say what it does.

We dance the night away.

Under this Dark Room. 

With no Light.

Colors

I see the colors

Blue. Red. Yellow.

They swirl

Blue. Red. Yellow. Green.

They mix 

Blue. Red. Yellow. Green. Purple.

They create more colors

Blue. Red. Yellow. Green. Purple. Orange.

They live on

Blue. Red. Yellow.

Love is like a fire

Flames aghast when lovers meet

Flames extinguished when love dies

Always yearning for more to eat up

Always at the will of nature

Invisible

I was there

I was always there

Did you see me

Am I invisible

I see colors

Do you see colors

Did you see me

Am I invisible

I'm in love

Are you in love

Did you see me

Am I invisible
