Silence Vast silence Smashing my face with violence Spread as far as the darkness that has befallen my heart That was torn and shred with the words of your heart You spoke to me You pleaded with me And begged me to understand Understand how you couldn’t be 100 percent of a man The man I need and want you to be Something I thought I did see But you said you couldn’t see nor think clearly But I said I didn’t care because you were never a 100 percent I always thought of you as ...

My indigo blue lies in your eyes Drops of my tears are mixed with that blue Softening the color your eyes hold I hold that softened blue Close to my reddened heart And I take this softened blue Spreading shades of different blue Across a canvas Painting an empty sky A plain sky filled with the shades of your eyes Lying back and watching you watch me Everywhere I go Your eyes are on me So I walk with your blues Engraved in my brain And permanently scarred on my heart Coating me like emery Your...

Sweet Murderer By: Samantha Headley Verse 1: I can’t believe the way you left your mark on me You stole the innocence that I once could see But what is left is just a lost memory Your love coated me like impure emery Chorus: I never knew that love could kill I was just too blind to see You were my sweet murderer gypsy Verse 2: Sit back and fall into the black lit canopy With stars that are crying their teardrops on me Sweet like the kiss from your lips I once received Blew my mind away, this ...

Chapter Five The sirens of the ambulance shrilled through the stillness of the night. The shrills sent a wave of pain rushing to my head. My veins carries blood pounding through my heart. I could hardly hear anything do to the pounding in my ear. I guess the neighbors over heard the fighting and decided to call the ambulance and police. My body ached all over. I felt as if I had been shatter like a mirror. Would I be able to be pieced back to gather? I opened my eyes and I could see only comm...

Chapter Three As I strolled down the block I met up with Luis. It seemed he had been hangin' on the block with his crew. His friends nodded at me and I nodded back. I stared at Luis and cocked my head to the side, telling him to follow me. He silently got up and looked at his friends. They all did some secret hand shake..or whatever the heck you wanna call it. As we started to walk down the eroded street block he looked over his shoulders and followed right beside me. Our strides fell into pl...

My intentions coursed through my blood As my words fell from my mouth in a flood I knew I would get the best of you Only because you reaped the best of me too I did not find a soul confident But rather one diffident So I used the power of my sting To ripen my sword and allow you to bring The words of your mouth that spoke sooth, truth That granted me the right to hurt the soul of a blooming youth And I pray my honest eye winks at the hand For the deed I am about to mark on you, about to brand...

My feet carry me away to the shores of the beach. My hair blows in the wind and I feel as if the wind will pick me up and carry me. I rest myself against the wind and I feel weightless. The wind rides the waves of the sea. The sun is setting far into the west and is lying on the horizon. It seems as if the waters are swallowing the burning inferno. I rest myself among rocks in a cove. Hiding away between them. I lean against a smooth rock and press my face against it. I look out to the water...

The sun washes away the indigo I sit here drinking my morning coffee Thinking, Staring and out this gray window Wond'ring how we are no longer a "we" What I have left is my tattered frayed coat of broken, hollowed, damaged, clamy skin and I, in this skin write to you, a note That I am like the devil, sick of sin Watching you disappear before my eyes Watching the seams unravel silently My blood running cold as your aura dies My innards scream as I shake violently the love I bore like ornaments...
