Close the windows, close the door and
Shut the world out once more.
The air is too cold, like fingers
of ice against my skin
And it makes me shudder, but not
not just from the cold.
There is something else
in that rasping whisper of the wind,
an echo
of a memory; I think Id tried to forget and thought I had, but
The cold and the wind and
the dead eye of the moon staring at me
harshly
with not a hint of recognition
let the chill seep back
into me until my bones grew stiff and I swear
there was sand pushed through my veins
because blood doesnt hiss
like this....
There was no one beneath me where I thought they might be to break my fall.
It all
happened so quickly,
I slipped; I tripped
and went headlong without a thought into this and before I could draw breath I
was free formation falling into
What?
Where was I falling and for how long, so far
so good
but everyone knows its the landing that counts.
There were no hands waiting outstretched for me, no smile in familiar eyes, no face
to recognise that felt like home,
so what could I do but allow by muscles to stop being so tense,
resistance was not going to slow the crash to the ground was it?
But Im as dishonest as
Am I really just this
spitting venomous creature with blazing eyes you see before you?
Is that what Ive become?
I need you to hold me, touch me and
Bring some warmth back into my skin
yet when you reach out I snap closed.
You play with my hair the way you play
With my thoughts,
Leave me all turned about, and yet I want you
Still,
because the times Ive stood clinical and exposed
before another, cold like a corpse reanimated
is not something
I could bare again.
Its not so fickle as chemistry or love or need
that binds me so tightly to you.
It far more
far more important.

I could believe in something..
If I told you there is no heaven and no hell
Could you look at me with those eyes and keep your gaze from
Dropping to my feet with shame
At my words?
If I were to stare at the same wonders of all things bright and beautiful
and see only atoms and molecules waiting to turn to dust,
Could you still sing so sweetly to me each night?
I dont see your heart opening with the infinite love you preach
And I dont know if your ears could open to the words of the damned like me.
I cannot kneel at the altar and take those sacraments without tasting how bitter that wine is, or how bland that bread, and it sticks in my throat as I sw

So why;
she wonders;
are there such pits of
rage behind his eyes.
He can only despise
her for every weakness
when she lets him in
each time.
Love is just a weapon
some use it so well
it catches your breath.
He ties her hands
with compassion and
bludgeons her
with her own sympathy.

How Was I Supposed To Know?
Who wishes to hear the truth,
with such convenient lies.
The numbers win the troops;
not this lone figure, not I.
As history turns its face away
in on itself and
swallows itself whole.
I can not be the only one
to see what is happening here.
And yet if others can
they choose not to act,
not to move or lift a hand.
How hell visits so readily
when those close possess
no warmth.

and this moonlight blinds me.

Cara wasnt afraid of spiders, snakes, or mice. She wasnt afraid of getting beat up because she knew that any boy who tried would come away with more than a few bruises to his pride. What Cara was afraid of was love. She was terrified of someone getting close enough to her to break her carefully guarded heart. She was scared of someone knowing her secrets, knowing who she really was beneath her skin. No, Cara wasnt afraid of zombies or vampires or mummies. But love? Now that was scary.
