It is of the most terrible of pains; this emptiness / -- Completely hallow, and scathingly devoid. / In the lacking thereof, a sweetened and tender kiss, / The sweep of a strong hand caressing / In the most gentle of

Looming upon the arrival of Death’s withered hand, / the rancid smell of decaying flesh / decomposing into the ground - a shell of humanity; / empty of all that makes it alive: / warmth, love, hate, jealousy - / now

When words are reeling within my brain, / Fighting against the barriers to escape / To flow, converge into a single, titanic epiphany! / And with lack of binding friendship to purge / Overwhelming emotions: sorrow, ha

I’d pass by him every day, / laughing, shouting, and talking / riding our bikes home from the park / as children often do. / He would sit quietly on the bench / looking a little lonely, and a lot sad, / stari

They slip through the dark / like a shadow in the gloom, / invisible but for the utter void / as an aura, it surrounds. / They are silent as the dead / until they find a prey; / they strike with a piercing, / fe

I lie awake well past the clock striking twelve, / well on most nights, / thinking and dreaming of things I’ve not had: / of sensations and words of pure golden love. / Thinking and reaming of things I’ll not have,

We loved as only teenagers can; / emotions swirling and thickening the air. / Those who surrounded us / - our forgotten friends and family - / chocked on our mushy smoochy, / entwining, inseparable lust. / We dre
