PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Animal instincts kick in

Preying in the night begins

No beat to a drum dwelling within

Only raging needs, wild in sin

The need to feed tonight

Endangered kind making a change

Consuming handfuls with no shame

These teeth and claws have no range

The need to feed tonight

Glowing eyes see the coming dawn

Once a lively town vanished, gone

The need to feed tonight

Hidden until the moment is right

The need to feed tonight

and he will leave me alone tonight

Again within my darkness, my question and fright

and again, again my emotions are denied

And again I pretend to be okay, when a heart is fried

I'd like to know just one thing

Will there ever be an answer to bring?

Night by night, without a knock on my door

Tears so frozen, still thoughts bringing me so sore

I embrace my shadows and what I have been ripped from

I try to look up to the sky, and yet there's still no sight of a visible sun

Your lies cloud the beauty from what I could see

Your lies take away from what I thought could be

and it's all so obvious, yet my boredom chooses to hold me up so

To the still of chained emotions, trying to grasp the shadows made of woe

and again, I still do not  know why

When my only entertainment is looking forward to another lie..

With your words draped in sweet clever disguises

Lead me only to questions and silent demises

You again speak of love so freely

But I can tell by your eyes you don't hold it dearly

and I'll wait intently again for more words to keep me company

So I can cling to something, someone, but instead I look forward to agony

It's something I don't quite understand

but it's the closest I have to someone else's hand

and he will leave me alone for another night

Still without another explanation, I cling to an empty sight

It's been a terrible week

It feels like I'm about to sink

Last week's bright sky darkened again

Just when I thought I reached heaven

Tonight when I saw you

I only saw trouble in your eyes

When I walked towards you

Like I always had, I didn't smile 

Yes, I remember the past

How you treated me like dust

The heart can never be taught

You were in my every thought

Maybe that was the reason why

I frowned and rolled my eyes tonight

'Cause you never answered my apologies

You never even said any word to me

That is why when I saw you,

When your friend greeted me

And you both smiled at me 

I never knew what to do

Time stopped at that very moment

Questions took over me

Time might have put a better end

To this bitter story

Maybe this is all in my head

Or I just misinterpreted

Maybe you weren't smiling at me

Or I'm now just tired of fighting

Maybe this is a fresh start

Maybe that was a best part

Maybe we would be old, good friends again

Maybe our story would begin again

We dream until we don't
We live until we stop
All these days are now
And now they're not
I live today, tonight, tomorrow
Maybe it'll save me from sorrow
A reality I chose to follow
leads a still life, lost in between
constant cracks throughout my path
Always craving something more
yet held by phantoms that spin me round
They made me nauseous where I'm bound
Unshackle me from there
I do not belong 'round here
Free thyself from these accursed lands
Brake the spell that tie the bands
The world is moving, shifting by
I'm standing without a reason why
nothing more may hold me
I'm really leaving now, goodbye
