You play with love like it’s fire,as if it doesn’t burn you from the inside out.But it does burn.And you cry in the ashesas if you didn’t light every match.You take, break, misshape hearts like clay,then beg us all to stay,while we stay warmand you turn cold,searching for something new to hold.Not someone.Some thing.Until boredom … Continue reading The Wronged Man (poem)

Lock upon the bathroom door Crashing, screaming from behind Locked in fear upon the floor Message sent to no reply 2am, belongings gathered Right beside of your front door Venom spat into my face Get the fuck out, I want no more Petrified from rage ignited A part of you, you hide so well Beautiful … Continue reading The Fear (poem)

Rocky Start
Today I woke up sobbing, I had my first lucid dream of my 30's. Trapped inside my dream I couldn't get out. I was crying for my mum but no one came to help me, I was screaming at times but nothing would come from my mouth, I was being haunted, the room was empty … Continue reading Rocky Start
