By R.W.

Your words weren't supposed to be knives that stuck out of my heart.

Your touch wasn't supposed to make me afraid.

But like water, you went from calm to stormy.

You got cold and froze to the core.

No fire could melt you back to gentle, there was only the flame that burned me.

And I watched you turn into a mountain, watched you stare right through me, made it clear who had the power.

And when you noticed, you didn't hesitate to bury me deep beneath the sand.

You made it impossible to climb my way out of the hole. You let the earth swallow me up, cut off my air,

Watched me turn blue.

ATTACK by Feubrune

I'm sitting alone in a blacked-out room

The big black beast will attack me soon

I'm trembling in fear, it's just a matter of time

Till it will jump at me and eat me alive.

I can sense it, the beast's right there

It looks into my eyes, fills me with despair

It attacks me and I can only cry

I'm too weak to scream, so I guess I'll die.

No it won't let me die, that would be too easy

It wants me to suffer and beg it to kill me

It leaves me there lying in a broken mess

With black blood flowing out my open chest.

I want to scream but my lungs gave out

I want to speak but my mouth's sewn shut

I'm tired of talking just to be deemed insane

So I shut up, smile and play along the game.
