I AM NOT YOUR PUPPET
You think that I'm your puppet
Your little marionette
You think that you control me
You treat me like a pet
You think I have no feelings
You think that I wont mind
You force me to walk forward
Then stab me from behind
One day I'll cut these wires
I'll tear them from my soul
I'll throw them to the ground
And vanquish your control
Then I'll sneak upon you
And when I see you run
I'll chase after rapidly
Until the setting sun
And when you start to tire
I will just run even faster
Then when I catch you, you'll be mine.
And I'll be the puppet master

THE LIMITS OF LOVE
Love has it's limits.
It can take just so much.
Eventually love dies.
And it dodges your touch.
When you stay too long.
Your welcome will wear.
And love's once warm smile.
Turns to a cold stare.
It's once open arms.
Are closed and turned 'way.
And that's when you know.
You can no longer stay.
For love has grown tired.
Of seeing your face.
It's time you must go.
To search for a new place.
You may never again.
Find a love that loves you.
But when your love leaves you.
That's all you can do...

THE WITCH'S BALL
Come one, come all
to the witch's ball.

Don your body in morbid black
Hat on your head and cape on your back
Wear your finest silken blends
And bring your favorite evil friends

Come one, come all
to the witch's ball

Never fret about the toll
It will only cost your soul
Sacrificing virgins pure
Leave your morals at the door

Come one, come all
to the witch's ball

When the night is half way done
We'll feast on savory priest and nun
A chubby child, a broken bride
And fallen angels on the side

Come one, come all
to the witch's ball

We'll dance away our inner pain
As we slowly go insane
We'll cheer and toast, unpleasantries
And bring the world to weakened knees

Come one, come all
to the witch's ball

Just before the night is through
There's one more thing, we must do
Discarding bodies, spirits flee
Your souls will now belong to me

Come one, come all
to the witch's ball

MY TALE
A darkened soul
A hollow shell
A tragic past
I know too well

An empty life
A bitter hate
A lonesome feeling
I sit and wait

A prolonged pain
An inner fear
I beckon fate
And it draws near

I clench the blade
A forward thrust
A sudden wind
A frozen gust

My body falls
My soul set free
My blood flows thick
For all to see

Though I shall be
Forgotten soon
I'll take my story
To my Tomb

Goodnight, goodnight
I bid you well
Tomorrow will be
Another tale to tell

CRUEL
My soft wet tears drip down my face
The words they say, full of disgrace
I clench my fist 'round sleeves of lace
Why are these people so very cruel?

The pain inside grows stronger yet
Rude accusations, making me upset
My face no longer damp, but wet
Why must I be made to be the fool?

A verbal scar scratched 'cross my skin
My screaming trembles from within
How could you think I'd do such sin
The pain inside me grows

A difficult life, I've lasted through
Knowing no God will care for you
And there is nothing you can do
I'm the only one who knows

A slash, a cut, across my mind
As they say things, evil, unkind
They wish to know things, but they'll find
There's nothing I've done wrong

And so I sit, silently weeping
As they haunt me, while I'm sleeping
Their unjust souls around me creeping
I lie in my tears, and sing my song

PRELUDE
I've a story
I have to tell
It's of my life
So listen well
It's a story
Of tragedy
A life that's not
Lived happily
It's of a girl
That no one knew
And all the things
She has been through
So just sit back
And listen clear
Because this story
You need to hear

I AM A SCAR
The world is vast
It stretches far
And on this planet
I am a scar.
I am the thing
the world must hate
Not by intention
It's just my fate.
The world can never
Accept me.
It just waits till
I cease to be.
It pokes and prods
it tries so hard
To rub away
It's ugly shard.
I try to hide
So it wont see
The gruesomeness
That I call me
But every time
I'm always found
As it kicks me
To the ground.
I cry and beg
I try to plea
But hate is all
The world can see
So I just lay here
Curled in my ball
Till the day
Death comes to call

THE FATE OF INSANITY
In this land of ever sorrow
My heart and soul grow slowly hollow
Waiting for the coming 'morrow
In this life, so full of pain

I sit here waiting in the darkness
In my corner like a fortress
Feeling oh so very helpless
Voices pounding at my brain

Every time I look behind me
Unkind visions are all I see
I beg for mercy, there on one knee
Trembling gently from the strain

I see a knife, and slowly leaning
Swipe it with my cold eyes gleaming
stabbing motions, smiles beaming
The crimson blood will surely stain

I fall roughly, vision blurring
I can sense that somethings stirring
As I hear the reaper luring
Calling me onto the train

As I walk up these stairs winding
I see a light that's truly blinding
And sign a contract, ever binding
The subject matter's very plain

I'll see no angels freely flying
Instead in fires I'll be frying
Somewhere familiar I'll be lying
Just because I was not sane

A HAUNTING MEMORY
Dark and gloomy, 'Twas the night
Visions gave me such a fright
Begged I, for the morning light
On this night, I can't forget

Tearing through my mind, so weary
Thinking thoughts of something dreary
Of my own self, was I leery
This awful night, I'd soon regret

Sitting in my corner, rocking
Twisted memories, I'm blocking
Suddenly, I hear a knocking
Sudden, beating, pounding sounds.

To the door I slowly stumble
My fingers on the lock, do fumble
Opening the door, I mumble
"Have you come to make your rounds?"

Looking up, must be dreaming
His demented smile, beaming
In his eyes, there's something gleaming
Has the reaper, come to call?

Dressed in black, the tall man bellows
Something about frozen jell-os
His words flow out in whites and yellows
The door slams open, as I fall

He walks in, quite uninvited
I was targeted, once sighted
Lightning clashes, the room is lighted
I scamper 'cross the wooden floor

Back in my corner, scared and crouching
Clenching my knife, hunched over, slouching
The dark tall man, then started vouching
For something better, something more

Screams and pains, in my head pounding
As the devil, himself, the tall man's sounding
A snap, and suddenly I'm bounding
Knife in hand, and rage in eyes

The tall man's face turns ghostly pale
I slice him, as a fragile sail
The pouring blood, a crimson trail
A mangled corpse, on my floor lies

My adrenaline is pumping
My blackened heart, steadily thumping
Through my head, strange thoughts are jumping
To my cabinet, I quickly rush

Fling the mirror, glass is breaking
So many pills, I'm quickly taking
As my body, begins shaking
My blood gets thin, my face gets flush

A cough, a spurt, and I come crashing
On the hard floor, my head is bashing
I hear the bottles of pills smashing
As the world becomes pitch dark

I awaken, quite confused
I feel my body, bashed and bruised
My memories had been refused
My mind was blank, forgotten, stark

A man in a uniform, then crept in
His grim face aimed in my direction
I scowled at me, with such rejection
A story then, he slowly told

He spoke of a stormy day outside
A salesman had gruesomely died
Murdered by a man, who's brain was fried
The memories would then unfold

My memories of thick rain pouring
Depressing thoughts, of blood and goring
Of that night I had, a deep deploring
That man, who's simple life I stole

Cuffed and bound, I quickly was taken
I wished from this dream, I would waken
My innocence, I had forsaken
God will not forgive my soul

Locked away, I was secluded
I was kept away, excluded
And this thing, I have concluded
I will die, hated, alone

The voices in my head remain
My only friends, in this domain
For I am totally insane
And never able, to atone

YOU CAN NOT HURT ME
I will sit upon my shelf...
and display myself to the world...
Label me, tag me, give me a worth...
Your words can't hurt me...
I've no heart left to break...

ANGEL TEARS
You must never touch
An angel's tears
You must never know
What an angel fears
You must turn your head
And look away
When an angel's emotions
Start to sway
An angel's tears
Are full of pain
And fall like dainty
Drops of rain
An angel's sorrow
Is her own
What makes her cry
Can not be known
For once an angel's
Hope is gone
There's nothing left
To rely on...

LIVE YOUR LIFE
Bitter sweet memories
Unwanted regrets
Shadow like visions
You'll never forget
They sit in your soul
Fill your hallowed heart
They dig their roots deep
So they will never part
They'll be with you always
These demonic views
They'll tear up your life
Till there's nothing to lose
They'll give you no choice
They'll be all that remain
As your simple life fades
And they increase the pain
You'll become alone
Having friends, a lost cause
Your perfection is gone
All that remains, are your flaws
You are but a shell
Of what you once were
The life you once lead
Just a meaningless blur
Don't try to fight it
Your new life is set
You can either accept it
Or live in regret

LIFE'S A DREAM
Do not believe the things you see
Your eyes deceive reality
If you wish to know the truth
Do not get blinded, by your youth
Close your eyes, open your mind
You'll be amazed, at what you find
The world is not a spinning globe
The future will not be foretold
Reality is what you feel
Not what you think you know is real
Life is just a prolonged dream
It isn't all that it would seem
Life is only what you make
Enjoy the dream, before you wake

LOVELY GIRL
Your precious self
Your perfect face
You shroud yourself
In such disgrace
Your mirror is
Your only friend
But will it help you
In the end?
You stare and smile
Reflection clear
You think the things
You want to hear
Your clouded vision
Your foolish heart
You stare at your face
As the world falls apart
You turn away
From reality
Just so you
Can sit and see
Your pretty face
Your flowing hair
Ignoring the world
In it's despair
You may choose
To live this way
But your lovely youth
Will fade away
And you'll be alone
No companion
Your life as empty
As a deep canyon
Just a memory
That's been forgot
As your lovely body
begins to rot

DISAPPEAR
I lie in the rain
face down in the mud
As my tears flow together
With the drops from above
The gloomy grey clouds
Hang over my head
As the rough cement ground
Acts as a warm bed
The droplets of water
Cleanse my swollen eyes
As I turn and gaze up
At the depressing sky
I lie on my back
And contemplate life
I think of my troubles
And think of my strife
My soft moistened face
My hair, wet and dripping
My soul is encumbered
And gradually slipping
I'll lie here all day
And I'll lie here all night
Till this world fades away
Disappears from my sight...

TRUE LOVE
A man, a woman
Love be shown
The woman, heiress
To the throne
The love they feel
They can not share
And so this burden
They must bare
The man, a knight
With noble stead
Rides with his troops
He takes the lead
Her heart, it grieves
He disappears
Shed silent tears
That no one hears
Her one true love
Torn from her grasp
And so, cold steel
Dainty hands clasp
A single tear
A single plunge
The blood flows out
As if from sponge
Her body falls
Her spirit flees
A chill blows through
The kingdom's trees
A heart of sorrow
Tattered, torn
A happy ending
Left forlorn

THE SPOOKY ONE
A little girl, in velvet black
A pretty apron, tied in the back
She carries with her, a silken sack
As she walks down bonny road

In her arm, softly embraced
A porcelain dolly, snugly placed
As the girl is quickly paced
Carrying her heavy load

What, in silken sack doth bare
Why this girl, with curly hair
Why must her eyes, have such a stare
As if her spirit, long departed

Her milky skin, her soft hair, bright red
Her clothes, like a doll, through every thread
Her bundle leaves a trail, as if it's bled
She seems weary and cold hearted

Who is this girl, who trudges on
All through the dusk, and through the dawn
Where is she going? Where has she gone
I approach the precious girl

'Why do you carry such a sack
Why do you dress, dreary and black
Do a good night's sleep, you lack?'
She peers around a curl

Without a word, she stares so cold
She opens her bag, am I so bold?
To know what terrors it could behold
I slowly glance inside

Five severed heads, all dripped in blood
A crimson puddle, a tiny flood
My knees give out, the ground I thud
When will this shock subside?

The girl, who's eyes, still frozen still
Closed up her bag, with not a spill
And continued on uphill
And no speaking could be heard

I sat there staring, wondering why
The doll like girl, with such supply
Of body parts, was trudging by
By my home, with not a word

As she faded from my sight
And the day became the night
And the owl took his flight
I sat there slightly dazed

And some days, I see her pass
The doll dressed, curly haired lass
And her bag, cumbersome mass
Her eyes still cold and glazed

If you see her, coming by
Do not dare to ask her why
Else you may be her next supply
Beware the pretty one

For on her dress, are specks of sin
And no one knows, where she has been
But I smell hell upon her skin
And her journey's just begun...

The Secret Door
Dare walk through the secret door?
And let imagination soar?
Sights and sounds of pure delight
Stay all day, and through the night
But never speak of hidden places
Often thought as empty spaces
The secret door is locked to those
Who may be seen as sinister foes
So dare ye child, to venture through
This doorway drenched with morning dew?
If hate be in thine heart go 'way
And find another place to play
