Yes, as a poet I've made a comeback. The reason I haven't posted anyting for a while is because I couldn't write anything I liked. I also feel more emotionally "trapped", or depressed and hopeless with it, to put it in more basic English. Alot of my poems and songs seemed to become too alike as well, they seemed crap, cliché. But finally I've written something that seems halfway-decent at least. Well I might as well post both of them. Neither great, but I suppose people might like them...
17) Meld
The working title for this was "Comfort Eating" (be as dirty minded as you like.) It included other parts, but they seemed too much like what I'd already written, so this is alot more one-track, I think.
I want to take you over
Make you a part of my life
And how I feel about everything and myself
Comfort eating you.
I want you to numb out everything else
You’re all I want to feel
Experience, be,
Have,
Now I’m consumed.
Lets meld minds, embrace while holding hands
Use your tears to drown my dæmons in every form.
Sharing our life, so when we’re destroyed together
We will never die.
Destroy us together,
We will never die
Destroy us together,
We will never die
Destroy us together,
We will never die
Destroy us together,
We will never die.
Spend the rest of our life
Breathing in each-others last breath
Filling the void in out perfectly destroyed world,
Perfect exit for our perfect self.
Destroy us together,
We will never die
Destroy us together,
We will never die
Destroy us together,
We will never die
Destroy us together,
We will never die.
Because now, imagination frightens,
Everything hurts.
18) Blood And Ink
This one has a basic rhyming scheme which probably dilutes it a bit. The first draft of it was like the beggining of an Arch enemy song, which isn't really my style, but I NEEDED to do something about "Blood And Ink" as that what was on my left arm (see the Artpad pg2 for more info) and I needed to preserve it on paper in some literal artform while the emotion still lasted. It covers pretty much everything my depression is of, which is why it sounds like a peice of almost all my other poems. I'll stop going on about it now and just damn POST it lol.
Respiring blood to fuel emotion
Carving with steel and writing with poison
Tattoo words that only you want to see
But that you want everyone to read.
Try to kill the pain; it only comes back stronger
So tall and angry as it takes you over
Inside you the dark-side warrior dance
Crippling you with a hateful, bitter chant.
Lose your love, lose your care
Curled up inside yourself in some dank lair
Thorns curl tighter around your heart
You are inked, you are scarred.
Punish yourself for feeling this way
Darkness becomes a familiar day
This consuming cold becomes comfortable
But it’s just in your mind, that’s all.
Living in a different world
Before you know it your soul is sold
Real life is difficult
You’re trapped now; it’s all your fault
There is another place
Where you can go when you’ve fallen from grace
It’s so carefree, it’s so numb,
It hurts all the living ones.
