There lies a wooden cabin Just big enough for one With a garden full of every colour… Growing softly, surely in the dark… With a pond to one side
Sweet, sweet Nothing What could be more beautiful than… For Something is always Broken, Destroyed, Ruined, Who wouldn’t seek to pursue Nothi…
Ice cold Nice cold, Frosty breath Chilling death. Burning flame

Tossing and turning in bed Whilst dark thoughts crawl in my h… Finding it impossible to fall asle… As the madness begins to creep Like a serpent slithering
I hate smiling, Because it’s always fake. I hate laughing, Because it’s always empty. I hate this heart,
Fade away We all fade away We suffer In silence And the world likes it that way
Writing poetry at 4 am Is not as romantic as the poets sa… It is not with love I write Or hatred It is neither
What is the most painful word? Is it hate? That abject raging emotion that… Hate can be fulfilled, one way or… Or maybe it’s sadness?
