I'm SickAs I sit in darkness I feel its cold breath within me, burning my insides with its icy fire.
It’s not warm like a flame should be. It’s a contradiction. It’s unnatural. It makes me
nervous. It hurts. I trail shaky fingers over my bruised skin—it wants out again.

Unnatural. But really, what is natural? What is the definition of something one might
consider normal? It most certainly cannot be this beast within me. I cannot decipher now
between it and I. We are one yet we are two. Two that sometimes is one and one that
sometimes is two. One. Two. Two. One.

Rage. It’s always there but now it burns cold in the

HateYour ignorant fingertips turn the pages of my soul as if you deem the words they whisper as true. The taste of your assumptions is bitter and the spit from my mouth has turned to poison. Black waters deep with hate and disgust seep from these lips and the desire to drown you in my sins is potent.

Silver mirrors with false reflections are tainted red with a thirst for your mortality. This crimson gaze stained and soiled falls from the heavens and is damned to look upon you. Odium, abhorrence, revulsion, hatred! Insufferable this punishment I am to carry for what was sentenced an eternity!

Silent WonderlandAnd then the rivers did flow red. Crimson blades drawn across immortal flesh in a flawed attempt to feel again.

So shall I speak of the raven's heart and what sorrows overcome impatience from within the silence? Still, silent, always quiet. Such lore within my fables, such honest words never truer to the ears of man, lost wisdom strewn about the sands of ti

The Insane The raven whispered of such sweet madness I could not protest the taste. In acceptance with the hell bird, I walked along the red, sugar coated cobblestone. Such delicious slaughter at my feet, such succulent flesh strewn down my path—but to taste would be a sin, it said, and so shall I thirst forever.

The delightful stench of rot and butchery did exasperate my senses. Such delectable, thick, puddles of luscious flesh that only continued to deepen in their sopping mess. I despised that damned, blackened soul, forever at my side—I'd one day hope to taste its putrid, sinful insides.

Suite Gothik: Genesis

His toes grazed the surface of the water lightly—it was colder than usual. He hesitated before letting his pale feet sink into the ghostly waters. The sound of distant screams could be heard as he broke the surface. “...Poor things...” He murmured quietly, peering into the depths. What he saw would disturb most, but he merely found the agony within it intriguing. The wrath and sloth swimming amongst his bare feet captivated him. He leaned forward, further over the barren river bank, and lowered his soft fingertips to the surface. “...Such... perfect sin...”

He was complacently lost within the misery of

Was this influenced by E A Poe. I like the references to blood and madness. Your words have a dark haunting quality and I enjoyed the presentation. Nicely done.
