"Darkness"
It's so dark and cold here.
I can't sleep. Just lying awake at night.
Vision of you appear and disappear,
Ghostly images vanishing from sight.
There's a world of regret I left behind,
And a dark and dismal future still ahead.
I just keep checking the clock's time
As I toss and turn upon my bed.

Those times I felt so young and stupid,
Trying so hard to impress you.
And I marveled at everything that you did,
In awe at how God had blessed you.
Life was never that easy for me.
I had too much darkness buried inside.
And you decided to just ignore me;
You'd never even know if I had died.

I walk through my dreams of shadows and fog,
Reaching into the ether for someone to hold.
This isn't my home; not where I belong,
And the darkness is so bitterly cold.
So many things that are left unsaid,
So much I wish I could tell you.
But I just pull the pillow over my head
Since you and I are so well through.

I can't help but feel like I'm just a beginner,
And you act like you carry a scarlet letter.
I see how they treat you like a sinner,
Like your life belongs to another debtor.
Restless dreams and romantic decay,
Shivering in the shadows just to survive.
I plead and beg for there to be another way,
But I suppose it's enough to be alive.

My dark angel with blackest of wings,
Decend now and end my suffering.
Let me hear the song you sing,
And make me cast off these earthly things.
Save me from my demons and hell;
Dear God, I need it so much.
let me feel your heart beat and swell;
I would die a hundred times over for your touch.

Tick tock and the night goes on.
I wonder if I'll live to see the dawn.
I put on my smile and try to be strong;
I do my best just to carry on.
I can't forget. You won't let me forget;
I'm in love with a girl that was never there.
Please don't cry or be upset,
But I'll be waiting in the darkness for you... somewhere.

The underlying message and tone can be appreciated by all.
Basically be grateful for what we have.

Six weeks with no posts in this thread? Damn. We need a revival here. Anyway, I got really depressed tonight and wrote this:

"Blank Night"

(verse 1)
Getting tired of seeing these things
That make me wake up hopeful
My dreams about you, they feel so real
But when the morning comes, yea they just fade away

(chorus)
I want a blank night
No more empty hopes
Just give me nothingness
When I close my eyes

It’s not worth it
Seeing you when I sleep
When I’ll just wake up
And you’re not there...

(verse 2)
Times are changing, you’re off with who knows who
And I just sit here and watch my dreams
These melancholy realizations that you don’t see
Are starting to break me... yea they’re starting to break me...

(chorus)

(bridge)
And one day, when I
See you, for real
Maybe I can stomach
The pain I feel inside
To know, that you
Are not, with me
Eats at me every day of this life...

(chorus x2)

I want a blank night...

I want a blank night...

Sweet dreams...

"Not Enough"
I just wish there was more time in the day.
Before it even begins, the daylight's slipped away.
I wind up rushing to get everything done,
And collapsing in a stupor before the morning sun.

I wish I there was more time for me to say
All the things I fail when your calls ring away.
Every e-mail goes unanswered, every letter unsent,
And still the phone rings, 'cause they couldn't take a hint.

I wish there was more time for me to play,
And enjoy the little things I've left drift away.
Enjoy a few parties and play a few video games,
And mix up my life so it's not just all the same.

I wish there was more time for me to pray,
To reach out to others and make sure they're okay.
Fix all my problems and right all my many wrongs,
And make sure my broken family can try to get along.

I wish I had more time for me to stay,
To be with you every second of every day,
And prove that you're enough for me to get by,
But it's never enough, but God knows that I try.

Remember

I can remember
A time when you would speak to me
And I can remember
A time when you would look at me
Those days seem an eternity ago
And the memories fade with each passing day
What happens when I can't remember?
What happens when you fade away?

Do you remember
The times I would dodge your words
Do you remember
The times I would turn my eyes away
I must have seemed like your foe
And I hope you have gone on your way
But I wish we had another chance
I wish I had the chance to say

You are the sun that rises to light my night
You are the rain that falls to quinch my thirst
You are the eyes that grant me sight
You are the smile when times are the worst
I hope you remember the truth and not my lies
Remember that my love for you will never die

I still remember
The touch of your gentle hand
And I still remember
The touch of your soft lips
If I live ten thousand years more
These phantoms will serve as my regret
But I pray they remain
Because I would never want to forget

Can you remember?
The times I would pull back from you
Can you remember?
All the times I said this could not be
I know you could see my core
And I will always remain in your debt
For understanding my mistakes
I hope there is time to tell you yet

You are the flame that lights my path
You are the ice that soothes my pain
You are the sense to cool my wrath
You are the blood flowing through my veins
I hope you remember the truth and not my lies
Remember that my love for you will never die

"Black Tears"
I'm a million miles away from you,
And the goodbyes seem far too easy.
I'm a million smiles lost from you,
And hellos aren't quite so pleasing.
Cradled in quiet songs of my youth,
Ballads of times long forgotten.
Breath within me, long withstanding,
And a gaze at black tears fast begotten.

Lullabies of children and sages,
Violins and harps preach their accord.
Nothing for my journey, no prize to gain.
A life in chaos, so long ignored.
Words are so sweet to my ears,
A touch so wondrous a sensation.
The sight of black tears erode my dismay,
And I drown in the darkest of elation.

Under the pale white howling moon,
In the pitch black of restless night,
A boiling poison runs in my veins;
Amazed I can even suffer the fight.
A long-lived shadow taints my every step,
A path of wisdom buried deep within.
So many of struggled to see that harmony,
But the black tears give form to my sin.

Slender, gentle fingers touch my arm.
My skin burns cold to that subtle caress.
"Stay," she whispers into my ear,
And by candle-light she starts to undress.
A million smiles and a million miles,
And I'm overwhelmed by such emotion.
It doesn't seem real. Black tears stream down,
And I find myself unfit for this strong devotion.

I carry on alone through a dark, long path,
Away from her, away from all that I was.
Billowed up from under a mid-day sun,
I pack my things and do as the coyote does.
A scavenger amidst the rubble of my tattered life,
A vulture amongst the refuse of the embitter dejects.
Forgiveness is not a virtue I suffer nor employ,
And the love given to me is the one thing I reject.

Black tears burned forever in my mind.
Another pale shade for the hymn's next verse.
My poor heart bleeds out, broken with blood,
And full of agony until it can't help but burst.
I was wrong. And I have to live with the mistakes.
I miss her touch, her face, her sweet scent,
And as I pick up the broken pieces of my life,
Black tears are the only way I could ever repent.

Best for Last
Hey, ready to complain, it can't be contained
Everyone is down, they've burned into the ground before you
It's not over, so try to get it back again

Wait, there's nothing left to hold,
the sun's gone way too cold
If we're all the same
there's no one left to blame
for everything we've lost
Put it off and try to get it back again

The best is always, kept for last
Nothing's that way anymore
Try your damnedest to try to get it back again


Run For Miles
Wake up and you find that you're by yourself
Take it all to believe it's not gone
Blow up with the beautiful contraband
Life's a bitch but you ain't got one

Never going to see it last
Broken up like shards of glass
Temperate with tempered files
but for you I'd run for miles

Press it down you're not moving in stereo
Gravity won't make you grow
It comes down to knowing the contraband
It's a bitch but you know you ain't one

Garbageman

I'm going to tell you everything I can
We're not getting older, it's the garbage man
He'll try to drag you out of one night stands
He'll knock you to the curb just like the garbage can

And in the land with the fancy cars
The garbage man can't harm you, he's out on the bar
He'll search for meaning in the dirty scars
Picking up the pieces of the candy bars

Are you feeling alright? No, not quite

I'll tell you people now, this isn't low brow
Telling of the story of this magician
But if you want to see, this isn't make believe
I'll burn you a copy on an old CD

Are you feeling alright?

He's just like anyone
He's out there having fun
If you think you're the better one
Try to make a fortune in the garbage air

I'll take you out on a midnight dare
All the faded paper, lying everywhere
I should have warned you about his plan
Everyone is dead thanks to the garbageman

Are you feeling alright? No, not quite

"Barrier"
There's a dark, empty void between me and you,
A wall of thorns between me and the end.
A wave of hurdles and hassles piercing me through,
And the when I'm finally there, I don't know how to begin.

Have you ever been kissed? Ever been touched?
Have you ever been held in an embrace you craved so much?
Have you ever clung to those you held dear,
And then watched helpless as they all disappeared?

There's a mountain of struggles staring me in the face.
An ocean of blood that I'll have to traverse.
I'm stuck in a maze of darkness, forever displaced,
And through this purgatory I travel back in reverse.

Have you ever been kissed? Ever been touched?
Have you ever been held in an embrace you craved so much?
Have you ever clung to those you held dear,
And then watched helpless as they all disappeared?

I pound on the glass, screaming for you to hear me.
I reach out and touch painful shards, just to feel you.
I'm buried six feet under, stranded with chains in the sky.
I'm a world away, but only six inches, and I don't know what to do.

Have you ever been kissed? Ever been touched?
Have you ever been held in an embrace you craved so much?
Have you ever clung to those you held dear,
And then watched helpless as they all disappeared?

I'm broken and battered, covered in welts, cuts, and bruises.
My bones are brittle, my skin shredded like paper, my blood runs thick.
I crawl through rock and glass, but lonely hero that ever loses,
And at the end of the road, there you are, but are you treat or trick?

Have you ever been kissed? Ever been touched?
Have you ever been held in an embrace you craved so much?
Have you ever clung to those you held dear,
And then watched helpless as they all disappeared?

Everything I hold dear has crumbled like sand castles,
But I'll make sure I stay by your side, even if I have to fight for that pleasure.
Because what is love without barriers, love without hassles?
Only when you endure the fire can you ever appreciate that measure.

THE DARK OF THE NIGHT

I used be a child
A child of light
I used to be happy
Full of love, joy, and warmth
But things happened to me
And people hurt me
And I started
To walk out of the light

I saw a glimpse of the night
I saw the power of the dark
And it refilled me
But not with what
You may think

When darkness has consumed me
And the night enfolds me
In its arms
I feel warm and safe
In its sweet embrace
Nothing touches me here
It protects my heart
And it keeps my feelings at bay

But I hear a faint sound
A faint sound somewhere
Calling me
Trying to bring me
Back into the light

As I start to walk
Away from the darkness
I hear voices
And they taunt me

They’re both grabbing at me
Begging me to come with them
I yell to God
“Help me please”
But he doesn’t hear my cry for help
Nothing happens
And no one comes

So what do I do
I pull free
And scream the life
Out of me
Light and dark disappear
And I fall to my knees
Then I lay down to sleep

So you see
I am different
Different as can be
I have no place
Is this cruel world
I have no voice to speak
No life to live
So I close my eyes and sleep
And my own personal darkness
Consumes

This is a place
Where I cannot be found
Where I cannot be rescued
My own personal
Darkness of the night

Flutter

Kept under glass, like a butterfly
Tempting to touch, and easy to break
The night is cold, but I am kept warm inside
Until the light of day and I'm awake

Another long day in the sun
Wishing more than anything to be free
To flutter like my life has just begun
To live a life without boundaries

I know theres more to life than watching from afar
As days come and go all around me
And when the night comes again, I count the stars
While life passes right by me.

"Chance Encounter"
I met a girl from across the street,
Hair of raven black, eyes so soft and sweet;
It was like a flashback on persistent repeat,
As if she'd be with me tomorrow for the dawn to greet.

Chance encounters can take you so far,
But even as she slipped into my car
I felt something pulling at me, like a falling star,
Reminding me that everything I am was just sub-par.

I threw on the charm and she played along.
I puffed out my chest and acted like I was strong.
But everything I did seemed to go so wrong,
And she knew right away that I didn't belong.

I bought her roses and shiny rings.
I gave her joy and too much suffering.
But throughout it all, she endured everything
With a voice that does not speak, yet sings.

She did so much to allay my errant fears,
To make all my worries simply disappear,
And I did everything I could to keep her near
Lest my words of comfort she'd never hear.

And everything's fine now, as it should have been,
Back in those days when I was lost within,
And full to the brink of secret shame and sin.
But all those problems have come to an end.

It was just a chance encounter across the street,
With a girl of raven hair and eyes so sweet,
And though she's passed, consumed by passion's heat,
A girl such as that, I shall never again meet.

Yeow,
dark,
are these,
halls,
and the air,
that the prisoners,
breathe,
tastes so putrid,
so malevolent,
that it would make,
even,
the most immune,
feel very nauseous,
from the very first grasp of air,
yeow,
such,
is,
the sickening,
hail,
of this,
pit,
known,
to someone,
as Hell,
halls,
of torture,
dungeon,
eternal,
lair,
of stillness,
where moments,
of torture,
feel,
as mercy,
itself,
oh, stop it,
help,
perpetual,
monotony,
fixed,
helpless,
onto these,
rotting walls,
the doomed,
await,
the coming,
torment,
torment,
torment,
inhaling the upsetting scent,
of corpses,
and the repulsing smell,
of sulphur,
arising,
from the pits,
below their very,
feet,
vomiting,
vomiting,
their,
lungs,
out,
hoping,
to die,
but they,
wont,
yeow,
the master,
enters,
his torture chambers,
his minions,
wait for his commands,
helpless,
prisoners moan,
of fear,
everyone,
the master,
considered,
to be tortured,
tortured soul,
were tortured.
some of them,
died,
died,
some didn't,
one day,
he'll come back,
again,
again,
to torment,
the ones,
he doesn't,
appreciate.

Feeling Unhealthy

[Chorus]
I am feeling unhealthy, drop dead on the bedsheets
There's bugs on my face
Lie, unable, disabled
I'm in dire need of medical attention

With one hand behind my back
I'm losing all my hair
With lack of will and care
Full on midas disco driving
And the radial red glare
Sitting in your hole
Turning shit to gold
Not alright now

[Chorus]

With a crack right in the hull
Eyes bleeding out your skull
Don't you sell your soul
To be wealthy
We're unhealthy

[Chorus]

“Put Me Under”

(verse 1)
You asked me tonight
Why I’d rather dream
I’m here to tell you
That life ain’t what it seems
You wake up, you play, you work
Go through all the motions
But when you go to sleep
Are you truly happy with reality?

(chorus)
I need to escape myself
To reach my dreams
I need to see my world
Where I feel free
Close my eyes, fall asleep
I’ll see you there, where we will wonder
What could have been
But first, you have to put me under.

(verse 2)
Come with me, we’ll build our world
I’ll show you how, it’s easy
Take this canvas and paint it with
All your hidden hopes ad fears
Someday soon I’ll visit you
See the progress that you’ve made
And you tell me after all that time
Where your happiness truly lies

(chorus x2)

(bridge)
When I go under
I dream of a place
Where I can be myself
Where no one judges
What I’ve done and
How I live my life
I dream of days
When you and me
Can go under together
And we’ll live on eternally
... eternally.

(chorus x2)

(outro)
When you put me under
I feel free and happy
What if we could
Stay here forever?

You dont get dragon points for writing theese anymore

On the Radio

Walking down the street to the beat that would blow your stereo
With nowhere to go
Hung on every word that you sing when you say
Come on let me turn it up
You can think of anything you want
That's alright 'cause they'll be there, singin'...
Something to note

Take a step back, what a pretty little lady
Bigger things that you'll never know
If you can't let go
Free your mind and lose it just a bit
If you want to have it blown
Hear it on the radio
You're not alone...

There's one thing I can't hold too close
Wait for the night, made to cut right through bone
That's all you care to show

Staring at the end, face off, clap on
Let me know
Something to show

"Morrigan"
Songs, lost in the wind,
Songs without end,
How do they begin?
And wrongs, slathered in sin,
Pain towards my friends,
Do they hurt within?

Shallow seas of sorrow's toll;
Wisdom grafted to my soul;
Let the chorus chants unfold,
As simmered sadness makes me whole.

Days, days ever gone,
Nights lost in song,
Back where they belong;
Gray, dark days so long,
Darkness so strong,
Tell me I'm wrong...

Fellowships in languid roles;
Tasteless trues mingled with holes;
Lies that blacken us like coals;
Reaching inward 'til we're old.

Fire, crimson red heat,
Tangy yet sweet,
Burns to the beats;
Desire, tempted with treats,
In silken black sheets,
Lead to defeat.

Cornered chaos on a stroll;
Cherished memories that you stole;
And the love you gave is cold;
But that love is all you ever hold.

Think Tank

Don't drink from the think tank
I'll remind you
There ain't nothing but a big brain
to undermine you

And drives you crazy til the end
With memory of little friend
You're going far you'll be a star
Be a star

Don't stab me in my face
I'm behind you
Take a stab in the dark now
Broken bayou

And drives you crazy til the end
With memory of little friend
You better thank your lucky stars
Oh my god

Too full to be landfill
In the meantime
Drink, drink, what you can't take
Hard to find

And drives you crazy til the end
With memory of little friend
You're going far you'll be a star
Superstar
Be a star
Superstar
Be a star

"Warmth"

Dreams flow,
Everyone knows
That times get rough.
Where do we go
When we're all alone?
Don't act so tough.

The night falls,
Star-covered walls,
Masked behind a glittery veil.
Hear me call,
Down darkened halls,
The last hopes travail.

You tell me everything's alright, deep in the night,
Just a shadow's scare, just a murmured nightmare,
A forgotten mental scar, reminding you of who you are.

It doesn't matter; just climb Jacob's ladder.
Your innocence is lost, slumber's most grievous cost,
Playing in black water rain, subverting the pain.

I'm two steps from hell, drawing ever closer.
Close your eyes, take a breath, and you're home.

Time takes it's toll; God, save my soul,
Empty dreams surround, painful thoughts abound,
And I fear that even angel's dread to come near.

Let the pain subside, let the warmth reside,
Forgive her her treason, don't mind the reason,
Just try to survive, and thank God that you're alive.

The cold,
As I grow old,
Chills nothing but the skin.
But her hold,
Wrapped in blankets' folds,
Is the warmth endeared within.

This technically is neither a poem or a song, I do write poetry, but I just spent the past two hours writing this story, and its really long. If any of you would read it please I would really appreciate it. Feedback would also be greatly appreciated. Hopefully it will keep your interest the whole way through.


Old wounds reopened
At home a man by the name of Allen sits down to watch the television as an urgent news report airs. "Okay, we've got some bad news for the town of Bakersfield. It appears that we've had quite a bit of dead bodies found in a very short time frame. We believe there is a mass murderer loose right here in this very town. Everyone this is urgent, Lock your doors, windows do everything that you possibly can to prevent anyone from entering your homes. Otherwise get the hell out of Bakersfield and find somewhere safe.. This is very important you must GO NOW!
*chattering off cam*
Okay, we just got word that apparently we've gotten some cameras in place at a local restaurant and the scene is just disturbing.. This is not for the feint of heart.. Your kids may wanna leave the room now. Patching it through in 5...4...3...2...
*image comes up on screen*
Okay as you can see here Oh god its just terrible. There is blood everywhere and... It's almost like a slaughterhouse. The body's are mangled and torn and the sight here is just so gruesome. Who could possibly commit such an act"??
*Cable feed statics and then dies..*
Hearing a thud from the back of the house Allen runs to check it out. In the laundry room he finds a note attached to a wall with a bloody knife. He removes the knife and reads the note.

"I've been looking for you... Allen. Do you remember me? I sure remember you. You stole my girlfriend from me. It doesn't make me happy. For 15 years I've sat and envisioned. Each and every way I wanted too get back at you. My anger and hatred has been consuming me more and more each and every second of each and every day. Till I just.... I JUST SNAPPED HAHAHAHAHAHA.. Now its my turn to find pleasure in other peoples torment. I hope you liked that news alert that you were watching. I know I sure did. Watch your back Allen I'll be waiting for you".

Allen puts down the letter as it all begins too sink in. One little kiss 15 years ago placed on the lips of someone that wasn't even in a relationship. Some girl Daniel was obsessed with. The names of the deceased so far have been determined and that girl was not on the list. Allen determines that she has got to be his next target. He knows she's out of town visiting her family. He grabs his keys and rushes out the door starting up his truck. He floors it out of the driveway and starts heading toward Jessica's location. He's forced to slow down and weave in and out of debris. Destroyed cars, crumpled motor bikes, and disheveled bodies that litter the ground. Daniel's maniacal and destructive path is almost impassible by automobile, but Allen finds a way through. "All this cannot possibly be the work of one single person ", thinks Allen. Thats when he sees it. This man a friend of his named Jeff is being chased by a guy shrouded in a black robe and hood carrying a machete. Allen jumps out of the car because of debris blocking the way and runs off trying to aid the man, but they are so far in the distance it may be impossible to catch him in time. By the time that thought entered Allen's mind the guy in black launched the machete from his hand and it impacts the jeff in his back. Jeff falls too the ground screaming in agony as the killer steps forward. He straddles the victim rips the machete out of his back causing another blood curdling scream. Opening his robe the hooded man reaches in and removes a steel wire. He grabs Jeffs head and hooks the wire against his throat. He places his foot on the back of the victims head and starts slowly sawing through the mans throat, blood spewing everywhere. He saws deeper and deeper into the throat more and more blood oozing out until finally.. pop. The head sliced free from the body. The hooded man sensing someone behind him turns and faces Allen. He removes his hood to reveal that he is far from human.. He borders the line of demonic looking. Throwing the severed head at Allen who covers his face and ducks to avoid it. The man vanishes into thin air. Gone just as quickly as he appeared.

Shaken by everything that just happened Allen finds another nearby vehicle on the other side of the debris with keys still in the ignition... It's Jeffs. Covered with blood the cars interior is, but it is functional and thats what Allen needs. He speeds off into through the rest of the day and well into the night. He stops at a convenience store for some sustenance and he grabs a map from the counter. As he's about to exit the store an employee yells "HEY you've gotta pay for that"!! Allen turns around and walks toward the man saying, "I'm sorry, with the blood on the floor I thought everyone was dead". "No", said the employee, "that isn't blood". "There were some wannabe bad asses in here earlier and they squirted out all the red hair dye". Allen apologizes and procedes to pay for the items. At that time he noticed the man has yet to blink and finds it a bit strange. He asks about it and gets no response. Not even an acknowledgement of his question. Allen reaches forward and the employee falls to the ground. A shrouded man behind him is spotted and releases a smoke screen to get away but Allen grabs him through it and throws him on the ground. He grabs a nearby pipe and stabs the figures eyes out. The figure doesn't make a sound and throws Allen off of him and into a shelf of cereal that falls over. The smokey man now blind reaches around for something he can use as a weapon. While he's doing that Allen gets up and grabs the guys neck from behind and snaps it. The smokey figure collapses too the floor. Allen then turns his attention to the employee that fell earlier. He notices a rip in the back of his shirt and that the entire back of his skull is missing.. There's just a wooden stick. He rips the shirt off the victim and finds a completely hollowed out back and spine.. The wooden stick running all the way down.. He wasn't an employee.. He was a human puppet. Completely grossed out by it Allen falls back and vomits uncontrollably. After about ten minutes pass he finally gets his composure back he heads out the door which slams behind him. He here's a snap and thinks nothing of it and gets in the car. However back in the store the smokey figures neck has twisted back into place and his destroyed eyes seemingly have dissolved into themselves as new ones formed. The figure gets up and watches as Allen drives away. After a pause the figure vanishes in a puff of smoke.

Back in the car with Allen he reaches down and turns on the radio. Another news report is out and he seems disheartened by the news. The deaths have already begun in Greenville... The city that Jessica is in. Allen has to act fast if he isn't already too late.. He floors the pedal going wide open. He gets about five miles away from the town and out of no where a deer carcass comes flying through the windshield. Allen trying to protect himself loses controll of the vehicle as its sent into a long barrel roll. After the rolling subsides the car is upside down and Allen crawls from the driver side window. Luckily wearing his safety belt he wasn't badly hurt. He's go some pretty bad cuts but nothing too serious. He rips up pieces of his shirt and ties them around the wounds to put pressure on them. He then begins limping for the remainder of the five miles. In about an hour he makes it into town. Feeling a little better he's no longer limping and he's shocked by the next thing he sees. Houses are gone.. Collapsed and destroyed. Gas stations on fire and bodys strewn everywhere. He even noticed a body hanging by the throat from the stop lights. It looks like his best friend Emile. Trying to stay strong Allen gathers his thoughts and pushes on. He makes no more then 3 steps and is confronted by a being that fell from the sky making a crater in the ground. With an evil laugh he speaks. Well well well, Allen I see you've made it this far. Looking for your girlfriend? Wait, maybe I should say MY girlfriend you stole.. Well your too late. Her and her family are gone. Face it man. You were just too slow. "DANIEL", shouts Allen. "Hahaha, let me interupt you. I have no interest in hearing what you have too say. In fact, let me describe exactly how I finished off your girlfriend and her family. I get there and wouldn't you know it, they were all home watching the news thinking some insane person was making all those murders. I even heard her say that she hoped you were okay. HAHAHAHA, pathetic. Anyway, I walked straight through the front door. Her dad grabbed a shotgun because apparently I was trespassing. Hm? Jessica? I said and she responded.. Daniel??? OMG What's happened too you? I just laughed and conjured up my minions. Her father shot them, and in turn shot at me. Went right through me. Obviously confused he asked what I was. I said nothing. Just raised my hand in the air and clenched a tight fist. His body exploded all over Jess. She screamed and started crying. Her mother was there to console her but only for a few seconds. She to followed her husbands fate. Then I turned my attention too your girl. Should of been my love. I used my powers to push her against the wall and shackle her in place. She struggled oh did she struggle too get free. It just wasn't gonna happen though. I levitated in and gave her a kiss. That really pissed her off. Then it was time too finish the job. I dug my fingers into her eye sockets and ripped both of her eyes out. Oh you should of heard her scream for you Allen. It was disgusting. Then I took my knife and I cut out her tongue. I got so tired of hearing your name I just didn't want her making sounds anymore. I took my knife then and I cut off each and ever one of her fingers. Oh you should of seen all the blood. Then I sliced her stomach and ripped out her intestines. Bored of playing with her I take my hand force it into her neck and rip her throat out. Her body falls limp and then I just vaporize her. Here don't take my word for it. I recorded it all for you".

After watching the video Allen falls too his knees and vomits blood. He's basically lost all of his will too fight, but he knows he has too avenge Jessica's death. He has to get retribution. He staggers too his feet and lunges at Daniel who floats out of the way laughing. "As much as I'd love too fight you and kill you off for good, I'd much rather give you a tour of the nice job I've done with this city first. If you want your revenge then its gonna be great fun buddy".

Daniel disappears and Allen continues on through the town wonder how he could possibly defeat such power. He marches on and gets too Jessica's home. Both of her parents lay dead and she is nowhere to be found. Her eyes, tongue, fingers, and intestines are still strewn about though. "So it is true, she really is dead", thought Allen. " I must get my revenge", he shouts and leaves the home. Immediately after leaving he gets ambushed by the smokey figure.. Allen is amazed that the being is still alive with a broken neck hanging sideways on his body. Eventhough the figure got its eyes back Allen was not gonna go down w/o a fight. He finds the shotgun laying at the steps edge and picks it up. He bashes the smoke figure with the butt of the gun and it backs away for a moment giving him the time he needs to raise the gun and fire it right at the his face. The figure falls limp on the ground with its face blown out the back of its skull. "This was way too easy", Allen thought. So he makes sure this smokey figure doesn't return by ripping out its heart and destroying it. On the body though he finds a book full of incantations and spells that give power. However you have to have experience at each of the levels before you get any powers and an alignment with the devil. Being nothing Allen can actually use himself, he does find an interesting piece of information. "The massive power does have a weakness. Only one way can someone actually harm them. In order to do this Allen must find the Medallion of Invulnerability and destroy it. The medallion itself cannot be wielded by anyone using the power however. Meaning Daniel doesn't have the medallion with him, but for the magic to work it has too be nearby. There must be someway he's keeping it close and not touching it. Then Allen gets an Idea... HIS MINIONS!! Daniels minions are the key. The book says one of a total of 3 minions carrys the medallion for his leader. So far we have the black hooded and robed minion, and the smokey one. That leaves one more.. He must be the keeper of the medallion. He's gotta be close.

After hours and hours upon searching for something he can't seem to find the demonic being anywhere. He does spot something out of the corner of his eye. There's a dead body dressed in similar clothing as the first two minions. He searches the body and cant find anything. Daniel then appears laughing maniacally. "You fool, you can't honestly defeat me. You don't have the power, you don't have the will, you don't have brains too even outsmart me". Allen getting an epiphany realizes that the carrier of the medallion doesn't ever carry it. It's inside them. Where all the knowledge is kept. In your body's computer. Its the brain... "Allen, catch" says Daniel throwing a meat cleaver at him. Allen barely dives out of the way in time, but he realizes Daniel just made a huge mistake. He just gave Allen the means of Destroying the medallion. Allen quickly cracks open the corpses skull with the cleaver and takes out the brain. Daniel yells, "NOOO and shoots lightning at allen who gets hit and temporarily paralyzed. As Daniel floats in close to try and finish off Allen, Allen takes the cleaver and barely gets a slice through the brain before Daniel administers the death blow. Daniel falls from the air and trys to catch his composure. Allen jumps up and cuts at Daniels stomach who takes the hit and backs off. Now Daniel rips a sword from his robe and swings at Allen who gets nicked in the shoulder. Allen again lunges forward and misses. Daniel thrusts downward at Allen and catches him in his calf and pierces it all the way through. Nothing left to lose Daniel wills himself up too his feet and catches his breath. Daniel and Allen both lunge forward for a final attack. As both weapons drop to the pavement... So does a head.

"Cyclical"
I am a dubious shadow
Of a life yet unlived,
An amalgam of sadness
And sin to forgive;
My burden grows weary,
Dragging me to the ground;
Feet sinking in quicksand,
Till the sound just surrounds.

You know life is a struggle,
But we climb past our grief;
God shakes us from madness
But we suffer in peace.
I'm dazed and forgotten,
Old photos gathering dust,
Memories adrift in echoes
Of the good and the just.

Like Job in the scripture,
I'll endure all this pain.
You can't break me with sorrow,
And my strength shall not wane.
I will claw to the surface,
And I'll tear myself free.
Bound, broken, and bitter,
I'll fight on as I bleed.

It's a mountain of anger,
Swallowed up in the quakes.
You tell me I'm hopeless,
But that's not my mistake.
There a some things worth having,
And some to let go.
You're a form of the former
But you went with the flow.

It took forever to get here,
To pick myself out of the muck.
I'm someone of worth, though
This is mostly from luck.
Everything has a meaning,
And I learned from defeat.
What was gone has returned,
And the circle's complete.
