The Remembrance Ballad

These days are closing in, the end has become apparent, we're only here for
so long, will anyone remember my name when time has washed away the dust or our ashes? when my head rests in a velvet lined casket? What's out there? what is my eternal fate? it only just recently hit me that this life is just a state, mortality fading, like the innocence of love, i'm scared to death of whats to become of my immortal soul, of this eternal flame, will you remember? will your heart sing with pain? Who calls out my name? who can tell me what happens when my eyes close for the last time? does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness, what of my soul, what of my soul? All those things you couldn't say, you should have said, all those i love you's lost, weighed more like lead on your chest. What if i could take all those misspent days? every second of anger, i would wash my sins away.

A Song For The Optimists

Blow the last candle out.
Let the wax harden
I wish I could stop crying.
I wish someone still loved me

Just breathe and focus.
How can I when the air is so cold and empty
That my lungs froze right in my chest
I'll be honest the silver linings are getting harder and harder to manufacture
And the smiles are so difficult to fake
What do I have to do, or who do I have to kill, to get what I want. what I need.
Happiness is an emotion I was born to this world without,
nothing pleases me. I cannot be satiated
Thru this toil I will breed my own distress and destroy my best hopes,
fuck up the only things I love.
I WATCHED MY DREAMS DIE.
I watched my aspirations crash to the ground on the backs of the angels that I've slain.
But I meant so well, I tried to hard, gave every ounce of my soul, to what end.
Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away.

Deanne The Arsonist

Coward, the next time you want to fuck me over stab me in the front
Can I still see my future in your eyes,
or can I picture myself dead in your embrace
And your cruel crimson red smile, kills
Everyone cared about you. Why couldn't you
Instead your greed compelled you to steal other silver linings.
No one could have their moments free from your withering touch.
Fuck off like you're the only person that has ever cried or been broken by love
Spare me your pity party drunk off your own misfortunes
Wallowing in your blissful melancholy
Can you taste my blood. You knew that this would kill me. But you carried on and on with your selfish shit., everyone cared about you. Why couldn't you
instead your greed compelled you to steal other silver linings.
burnt down my world, you killed my hope
spread out the ash and walked away
how could you just close off your eyes.
turn tail and run, you are the greatest coward
damn right I am still pissed..
next time I see you we will see who has the upper hand
Kiss my fist. Taste the floor. Tired of your games. fuck off goodbye.

This Flesh A Tomb

I felt eyelashes on my cheek, and they lacerate my flesh, a pain so good. so
put your hand in mine, never let go, never wake up 'cause i'm done with
promises, i'm taking blood oaths, feels like you could kiss my
imperfections, my imperfections away, And i would stand, stand by your side
until the sun turns the sky all the colors i see in your eyes. I'll never
need to see the sun again, there's enough light in your eyes to light up our
little world, So take me, take me away, kill me slowly, i'll never be the
same. I swear to you on everything i am, and i dedicate to you all that i
have, and i promise you that i will stand right by your side forever and
always until the day i die. The bite marks on my neck have never felt so
good, i'm losing control and it's all that i can do not to blackout and fall
into lust with you, your kisses infect me, the dark gift is loving you. And
i feel immortal and i want to make you feel the same, so stand by me as we
immolate we can burn in each others arms.

Lip Gloss And Black

If I gave you pretty enough words.
could you paint a picture of us that works.
an emphasis on function rather than design.
aren't you tired cause I will carry you, on a broken back
and blown out knees, I have been where you are for a while..
Aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream the stars right out of the sky
And destroy the prettiest starry night. every evening that I die. alone
I am exhumed just a little less human, so much more bitter and cold.
after all these images of pain, have cut right thru you,
I will kiss every scar, and weep you are not alone...
then I'll show you that place in my chest where my heart still tries to beat.
aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream.
the stars right out of the sky
and destroy the prettiest starry night.
every evening that I die
live love burn and die

Kind of dark, heavy thoughts, poems, thanks for sharing.

Corseting

Just swallow the pill and think of me no longer, just let go and take
yourself out before i kill you too, aren't you tired of me fucking you over
and over? you were the last person i wanted in my sights, and my heart
honestly breaks when i think of you. I understand now what i love you means
it's doing the right thing no matter of the consequence. I'm tying you up,
using the nicest lace, trying to kill you softly, trying to erase your face.
All the while i'm doing my best not to rub my love up against your head, i'd
redecorate the walls with your inner thoughts, but i'm afraid it's the wrong
shade of red, but i have these sadistic urges and i don't want to take it
out on you. Right now you're the only one who understands my plight, right
now your the only reason i can't sleep through the night.

live love burn and die
everyday to everynight
i wake up crying, tears to put out the fires
while i
live
love
burn
and die
everyday and everynight

and God, Jesus, Mary ~ the chain
are laughing the instant bliss
curdles to pain and then back again
my five vain selves coiled up and too twisted
in time below sunshine
in times below rain
like a girl


((violet ray))

Love Is Illness


My soul it screams for you
can you not hear it
my arms reach out for you
why cant you take them
my heart burns only for you
can you extinguish it
i love only to be loved by you
why cant you love me too

i long only to be held and care for
why cant it be
am i to die alone and bitter
what the hell is wrong with me
my face is blackened and my eyes are sewn shut
with fear and sorrow
i no longer wish to love anything
just cut the heart right out of me

sometimes i choke on all the false love
that infects me
sometimes everything is not enough to cure
the sickness inside of me

i did it all cried black tears for you
why cant you see see
like a vampire biting my heart
suck the love right out of me
dont even care as my blood stains the floor
cannot be cleaned
you cut me out and tore me through
six feet unders the place for me

i feel it all as it sickens me
it feels like im dying inside
because of the love i gave that cant be returned
my longing for instability is a personality flaw

i trust you with respect
and you tear me down

DopeBeastie

lol ooooops...
i thought the dam broke loose!





sorry

A Vampire's Lament

I am the walking dead heartbreaker, my apologies,
I'm happy you'll never understand what
It's like to be trapped under six feet of solid glass,
I can see out, but no one gets in
Screaming at this prison, I've locked myself into,
I'm sorry that I'm still breathing and that I'll
Kill again. The loneliness is too much for me to handle.
But the taste for fresh blood, pushes me on.
The fear of romance
The pain of living
The joy of sorrow
The strength of forgiving
I told myself the constant pain would ease the tension burning inside
But the nights were cold and the days dragged to weeks,
I will die here alone I will die
God help me, I'm so tired,
but in my dreams the wolves eat out my soul
God help me, I'm so frightened,
but in my dreams wolves tear out my heart
I used to be golden, a saint in a time of sorrow,
but then the turning came and I kissed
The sun goodbye, don't you get it,
it's always darker in my eyes, the screams of my brothers
Egging me on

violet ray

Living Each Day Like You're Already Dead

Raise up the ghosts of the dead - I won't die like them
Push past the point of raw emotion - I will breathe
Exist with a broken spirit - I will die complete
Ignore what the angels say,
enjoy that special place where the demons speak to me
I won't pick out the lining of my coffin yet unless I am sure that color satin is me
Better yet go with crushed velvet, that way I'll be damn sure to enjoy eternity
My daily life writes the eulogy, engraved on tombstone diaries,
laid to rest with the passing of time
Seems to me that even love can die
And the rituals, that fade away,
and the roses that cease to be laid
And to me it clearly appears that we're already one foot in a very shallow grave
I will love with passion
You live like you're dead
As each day dies, are we living on to the next or passing on in the twilight

Bleeding Hearts Shed No Tears

After all that has transpired
after all thats taken place
after all the stab wounds
and just just before my death
i rise pheonix like a new
from the still burning ashes of false hearts lies
to fly once agains to shine from within
dismember my myself
severe my veins
poison myself
a heartless joke
slash at my neck
gouge out my eyes
screaming in agony
you pacify me
bleeding hearts shed no tears
soaked all the way through with remorse and regret
fire to purify my soul and blood to replenish it
i search in hopes of completion to justify my love for you
nothing ever ends where our souls begin
nothing can save me from myself
you keep me safe
resurrecting my love
an angel like you
can never fall
heaven i found
right in my arms
i found love in you
i find truth in you
i see light in you
and it horrifies me

violet ray

Dinosaurs Became Extinct

You had anger pulsed rage
unexplored pathways limitless boundaries
a voice above the din screaming so loud
and now you are the masses
you used to run so fast
where were you going
no where
ive seen the path you took it leads in circles
counter productive
exhausted by your slavery you are broken
nothing new
preach words you no longer believe in
stale
words are empty as your heart
your lies breed hatred and contempt
on grasping we wont help as you're consumed into nothing
your lies defeat your purpose

A Letter To Someone Like You

Why?
Sometimes your beauty is choking me,
but at least its your hands on my throat
Your lashes brush against my cheek,
coupled with your breath on my neck
The world around you falls away and I will still be there
I know my words are like daggers but they cut me too…oh..
And I am sorry for all the fucked up things I say I didn't mean it
And I never realized that I can be what I hate
Lets be happy with what we have, enjoy the beauty in these days
Sometimes will laugh sometimes we'll scream noone said caring was easy
I know there was a time when emotions felt like pulling teeth
Sometimes I felt so souless I couldn't even look at me
It's pathetic to hate who you are and it feels like hell to change
But I'll be damned if I push you away

Bleeding Mascara

A Wraith with an angel's body.
A Demon with a smile of gold.
You soul-sucker. I won't become like you.
A killer with the perfect weapons, crystal eyes and a heart of coal,
you soul-sucker, i won't lose myself in you.
Look how pretty she is when she falls down now
there is no beauty in bleeding mascara.
Her lips are quivering like a withering rose,
She's back again. What the fuck do you think love means?
It's much more then words and feelings sucking me dry,
is my marrow that sweet?
Your dead lovers have left a trail of broken hearts and mispent hopes, sucking them dry does their marrow taste of sweetness?
sweetness i hope you choke.

Someone's Standing On My Chest

Starving searching this barren wasteland
Trying to grasp being this alone
Pleading for a breath of fresh air, someone's standing on my chest
Dying I'm asphyxiating myself
Break myself slave to my weakness choke on my words
Oh I'm drowning and I feel so alone
The lights are on and I wish I was home
My lips are screaming pretty nothings
My ears are bleeding for want of words, fuck words I need actions
Hope has left me fucking shattered
Someone's standing on my chest
Alone would be a pleasant change from here
How do you gauge loneliness how you ever felt so alone
It feels like the light will never reach me here,
I am choking back my longing for shed tears
So strangulated by my lonesome fears plead don't worry too much,
it only hurts when I breathe

violet ray

Taking Back Every Word That I Said

You were so euphoric I saw...the future in your eyes
A Cascade of emotion Brings me to...the summit of defeat
My trust was misplaced Like the truth...in a sea of lies
You're more content barefoot on coals
Then to deal...with feelings trapped inside.....you're trapped inside
Trapped inside, coalesce distrust personifiied
Fear unrealized, will paint the future black as night.
Just let go, have you felt what it is to fly
Soar above, the right path is never justified
They wouldn't ever affect you, you promised,
and you lied
You were strong enough to make your own decisions
But evidently your own two feet just weren't enough to stand on
Tell me how should I feel after what you just said
How should I feel after what you just said....
Just like a child, I wish I could close my eyes
And you would dissipate
Just like a child, I wish I could close my eyes
Let my tears evaporate
Please stay away from me
you've done far too much harm

Nevada's Grace

In this perfection i lament her beauty, her voice a sour note in this bitter
serenade.
And all those things i could have should have would have said ring
out like the gunshots across long lost days.
If that wasn't love then what the fuck was i thinking?
I would bear my soul just to bask in your grace and your beauty,
your strength inspires all of my days,
i would carry any load just to bear your cross for one day.
Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained and your strength is my backbone when i feel every bone break.
It takes my breath away how you took my breath away,
how could i know that you would take my breath away?
how could i know one kiss would change everything...

Of Gods And Monsters

You do not giveth
therefore you cannot taketh away
no being is my master
i am not a spiritual slave

heavenly father
rightous son
holy ghost
fiction

in my brethren love and friends
i need no divinity on which to urge my soul

violet ray

Ain't Love Grand

Gutted like a pig, all you want is the world to bleed,
someone somewhere stole your desire
The pain akin to being punched in the throat,
and stabbed in the chest

You would rather bleed than be without her
Gone are the tender whispers dancing in your ears
Replaced with lackluster memories you cry,
your screams play in your empty room

It's so hard to see when your eyes are rolling in the back of your head
It's even harder to speak when everything you say just comes out wrong
Your bed swallows you whole as the days bleed together,
torment on the lips of a loved one,
and if you try hard enough you can almost taste her

violet ray

At Least I Know I'm A Sinner

Lift up a stone and you will find him,
cherish the beauty in the world around us
Not in buildings or crosses made by man
Judge me, fuck you, stop playing god
Your forked tongue prophecies,
carelessly caressing the wounds of the weak
People like you should be crucified,
then maybe just maybe you would have an idea
Of what you are talking about.
My only solace is that one day,
judgment will come for the wicked, then we will see who burns
Raise your heads, unclasp your hands,
your weakness makes me tremble
True strength comes from within
And we were given this life to live,
not exist under standards set by some bullshit rule book
What prayers of yours were ever answered by degrading others
Spare me your biblical back peddling nonsense
For the people that you've hurt, and the being your dishonor,
Your fall from grace will finally justify my means
Judge me and now you are me and what's worse
You are now a traitor to your god
Tell me Judas, how does it feel to be looked down upon
Sinners like you should be strung up from the highest tree
you judged me and now you are me, stop playing god

hmmm...

i think this thread needs a change of attitude...


Dear violet, won't you come out to play
Dear violet, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear violet won't you come out and play

Dear violet, open up your eyes
Dear violet, see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
Dear violet won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

Dear violet let me see you smile
Dear violet like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear violet won't you let me see you smile?

thank you, friend. xoxo

>i'm purging.



i know what you are doing,and i'm glad for it.


but hey,i saw rainbows last week in skies that hadnt seen rain for weeks......



i didnt even know that was possible......

in time you will realize a lot of things are possible that dont seem so now.


such as a killer smile on your face matched by the most important smile,the one that is in the eyes....


take care my friend....

You Eclipsed By Me

I began my ascent at minus zero, you made so sure of that,
you tried to keep me down here, your complacency has been your downfall, nobody made you king of the world, and i'm here to dethrone you.
So kiss the ring motherfucker, it's my time, my time to shine.
Grasping for the straws as they fall,
maybe you can make a splint for your broken ego, for your broken ego.
So i say thank you for the scars, and the guilt, and the pain,
every tear i've ever cried has sealed your fucking fate, what did you take me for, a fool? or were you just to blind to see that every effort made has failed and there is no destroying me?
Hate can be a positive emotion, when it forces you to better yourself.
you built me, constructed my desire, perfected my hatred,
now i'm driven to be ten times better then you think you are, ten times
better then you think you are, piece by piece i've built my walls and burned
the bridges down that lead back to the people like you, so full of malice,
so full of scorn. You tried your best to crush my spirit, you tried your
best to steal my soul, you you pushed my back against the wall and i broke
it down. I will not be broken though i am the one who bleeds, I will not be
broken, i am the one.

Demonology And Heartache

So unaffectionate, so insecure, you claim to know a thing or two about
heartache, and what it's like to have your insides torn out, and i believe
you i see it everytime your pallbearers pallour is obscured by the darkness,
dancing across your face, and where the blackness veils your eyes in pain, i
know what it's like when memories make you wince and love letters read like
obituaries and photo albums are the books of the dead, i need no more
reminders, no more reminders, i'll forget the past and lay it to rest. If i
had my way i'd cut the calluses off your, off your breaking heart if i could
get past the sternum, cauterize those wounds with every kiss i could give to
you, i'm holding your heart in my hand, the reason it still beats. Am i being
too cryptic? am i being too obscure? Love kills, romance is dead and i don't
even trust myself, but i love you and you can pull my wings apart and pin me
down under glass until the end of days if it can help you discover that we
share the same pain. I just hope you write your thesis before the subject is
dead. No life after death.
