These are fabulous poems by some friends of mine. Enjoy.


Poem 1, by Nick
Tears of blood
Flow freely now,
From sullen downcast eyes
Trying to pierce through endless darkness
In this maze of lies

Never successful
Alone forever
Encased by walls a mile high
It is in this maze of emptiness
I make my bed
Lie down
And die



Poem 2, by Nick
She came to me
Much like a spectre
Haunting me,
permeating my very existance
Supporting,
Keeping me afloat
Happiness unknown
Dreams forever unfulfilled
...
A ghost lost to the grave



Poem 3, by Nick
My life
All lies
A mask of happiness
To cover the turbulence inside

I smile, never real
Dead inside, no longer feel

From nothing to flesh,
flesh to bones,
bone to ash,
and back to nothing

In the end
we are
all
alone



Poem 4, by Nick
I gave you my mind, you blew it
Gave you my love, adored it
Finally gave you my heart, destroyed it

All I gave you, pillaged, mangled, destroyed
How did I ever allow myself
To become
Your toy



"Difference" by Jesse
In the light
I am blind
In the light I cannot find
In the dark
I can see
In the dark
I am free
I'm just different
don't judge me
