Breaking Waves

I plunge deep into the sea;

The waves overtake my sanity.

An electrical current runs through;

As I dive deeper into the murky blue.

The light flickers overhead;

As my world turns blood red.

The emptiness resonates inside;

As I try to fight through the tide.

The jewels of time unwind;

As I stumble through the grit and grime.

Lightning bolts across the sky;

Thunder rumbles with nowhere to hide.

I'm troubled with the guilt;

The knife buried to the hilt.

The blood coagulates from the wound;

As I let my thoughts consume.

Purple rain falls on my head;

Embers and flames come in shreds.
Bursts of light in a broken world;
Empty promises and thoughts swirled.

Isolated in desolation;

A look of concentration.

Surrounded by sand;

On another unfamiliar land.

Treading on shards of glass;

Trying to forget the past;

A rush of adrenaline in my veins;

Tears of anguish feeling ashamed.

The End

An emptiness grows inside;
Thoughts I wish to hide.
Thorns pierce through me;
Lost in the subtle beauty.

A feeling of bliss;

Concealing another alias.
A blatant form of deception;
Contorting all of my perceptions.

The world comes crashing down;
As we collide and hit the ground.
We're sputtering out of control;
Shots break out from pistols.

A bittersweet ending;
As everything is descending.
The peace has shattered;
My thoughts begin to scatter.

As we prepare to say goodbye;
Everyone knowing they'll soon die.
I shed my last few tears;
Everyone passing a round of beers.

Treachery

The lies tear holes;
Cutting through my soul.
I see empty bullet shells;
The distant sound of church bells.

You committed a sin;
Toss the gun in the nearest garbage bin.
Soon the guilt piles up;
But you never even gave a fuck.

You're an empty shadow,
A remnant of someone you used to be;
We were friends,
But in the end you turned on me.

You run away from the crime scene,

Your smile looking so obscene.
But you didn't think about the gun,
The fingerprints you left on the run.

You bought a first class ticket to a prison cell;
Congratulations mother fucker I'll see you in hell.
Don't worry I'll make sure to save you a seat;
For God doesn't forgive that kind of deceit.

Imprisonment

The walls come caving in,
The waves come crashing on end.
A painful start,
Leads to another broken heart.

My veins are pulsating,
My heart is racing.
A bump in the road,
My blood runs cold.

White walls surround me,
Stifling my sanity.
I'm in a prison,
Placed into submission.

Facing another barrier,
Trying to crack through the exterior.
I fall through the sky,
As the world rushes by.

I crash through the other side,
A window casting a shaft of light.
A pain shoots through my soul,
I'm losing all sense of control.

An emptiness deep inside,
The last shreds of pride.
A vast expanse of ineptitude,
A lack of fortitude.

Trials and Tribulations

He fills the chalice with poison,
The prince was called to accept the crown;
The kings men gathered around.

Adorned with purple robes of royalty
The prince smiles familiarly;
The guards watch with loyalty.

He approached with trepidations,
A concerned look appeared on his pale face;
His father warned of bad temptations.

The squandered youth,
Another moment of adversity;
The old forgotten truths.

He throws the crown in callousness,
The king does not hide his disdain;
The prince just as blasphemous.

The king sits down on his velvet throne,
His cloak hanging loosely on his shoulders;
Looking weary and worn.

He takes a sip from his glass,
The poison taking over his veins;
A prophecy of his death from ages past.

Broken Images

Broken bruised and battered,
The reality shatters.
Another open wound,
Let my thoughts consume.

Staring at the stranger in the mirror,
The face isn't getting any clearer.
A pained look in the eyes,
Everything is built on lies.

A hollow impression,
A somber expression.
The world has obliterated,
Our souls are liberated.

I am shattered beyond repair,
Broken pieces scattered everywhere.
Another failure in everyone's eyes,
A life of deceit and another pack of lies.

Feeling raw, used and abandoned once again,
Being left alone in the end.
Getting ditched at another time,
Feeling out of place and unaligned.

Breakdown of Peace

He feels the soft grainy sand beneath his fingers,
The salty taste of the beach water lingers;
As he dives deeper into the ocean,
Feeling no sense of emotion.

The crystals of time stop,
The sounds of a pistol pops;
Breaking the silence,
Nothing left but violence.

Blood splatters onto the white sand,
He keeps shouting commands;
Everyone stands stock still in fear,
Everything is unclear.

A splash of color,
Waves of light,
Sparks of white,
Left in squalor.

A rush to the head,
The familiar taste of lead;
He collapses,
Falling into another relapse.
