Grip of terror

Ripped down my defences
completely

I can't even see you
trespassing
on the land of my dreams
without trembling

in fear
so many years after

Written by [Linderel]

Vertigo

Like a ropedancer

afraid of heights

standing frozen in darkness

s h i v e r i n g


simply waiting to lose

the frail balance

and through the spotlight


fall
down


finally s h a t t e r .

Telephonophobia

Dial.
Press the damn button.
Press it.
Walk from one end of the room
to the other.
Shove words out - it's not that hard.
Honestly.
Over before you know it.
Cut the connection,
breathe out. In. Out.
You lie: Next time will be easier.
Sit down.
Breathe.
Quiet.

Final cut

Through the doorway though
A bit hazy now thy silhouette does not escape me,
So I evoke thee to come forth and enjoy the show.
Thou know it to be quite funny as well as me,
As thou stand there I can even on deaf ears hear
The whispers of thy happiness and fears that thou try to hide
By shutting thy eyes so that I may not get a peek inside.
These little rituals are finally getting the best of me.
Like when I call thee just to hear thy voice,
Then thou hang up once more capturing the best of me.
I just want thou to know that I love thee
And I really did not mind the lip gloss.
These days are cold and stale now that thou art gone.
The cold wind hits my face changing the paths
Of my ground destined tears,
And my only solace is at the bottom of the ocean,
The ocean of gaffer and disgruntle disparity.
So come forth not wishing to dethrone me from my
Coffin where I lay eyes open weeping as death looms
Ominously closer for it is too late,
My vision slowly fades consoling my agony
With freedom from the misery
That thou have caused me,
Freedom From the suffering that has entombed me,
But rather come forth as the labyrinth figment of my imagination
That I have always known thee to be,
Bearing the final razor that will be inserted into my heart.
Let thy excitement not exceed my apprehension my dear,
For I am doing the cutting this time.
Do thou swear thy love for me?
Then where is thy will to thrive within my heart
Where my guilt resides?
Very well then my love,
No beseech shall be laid upon thee,
But canst thou do what hath besought of thee?
Where is thy love now?
Or the razor I have besought thee to bring?
Forgotten like thy love for my bleeding heart.
A love that I once possessed like I now possess death,
Like hate on my heat,
And for thee…

Wicked Games

I stood in a world where nobody could see,
Just how miserable I was, no one cared about me,
I approached people with eager conversation,
Then everywhere, people dying of starvation.

The world I knew went up in flames,
But everyone kept playing their wicked games.
The world was breaking a part,
But no one gave but even the slightest start.

Then, with a start I sat up in my bed,
The dreadful images still running through my head.
And I realised with a sigh that nothing's ever what it may seem,
The destruction of the world; it had just been a dream

The Fear

Some people fear the deep,
And some fear the dark.
Some fear family fights,
While others fear their hearts.

Some people fear themselves,
Why, they do not know.
Whether it be their ego,
It may never show.

I may fear myself,
From time to time.
But maybe the main reason,
Is that I am running out of signs.

People tend to ask me,
"What is your greatest fear?"
I look at them with sadness,
As into my mind I begin to peer.

I do not need to search for long,
As I already have the clues.
My answer will not be wrong,
As it is the only one I can choose.

My largest fear of all,
The one that cannot be topped,
The one that cannot fall,
My largest fear.. is me.
