NPM 30 Day Challenge: Day 30

noiselessly I slip inside
less substantial than a shadow
and take up residence in your soul

feeding on your doubts
gorging on your insecurities
choking on your hope
smothering your every dream
slowly bleeding you dry

everything you fear I am
unavoidable as the night

I am decay, I am Death
I am Time
     and I am coming for you

NPM 30 Day Challenge: Day 29

the words mean nothing
the promises even less

the look tells all
the touch even more

your furtive glance
your trembling lips
your hestitant touch
     say everything you can't

NPM 30 Day Challenge: Day 28

my head aches with the effort
of keeping my thoughts in check

my jaw aches with the effort
of keeping the anger inside

my fist aches with the effort
of keeping it from lashing out

my body aches with the effort
of not murdering you

creeping shadows dwell
     night street
          in darkness muted

lamplight
     safety glows

NPM 30 Day Challenge: Day 26

screaming out loud
     in silence

prisoner to my mind
     trapped within

in a living corpse
     dead and dying

raging against the life
     destroying me

NPM 30 Day Challenge: Day 24

full to bursting with things
     I cannot express

barely contained, barely contrained
    full to bursting

emotions and desires, thoughts and feelings
     barely contained

I struggle to keep them under control
     emotions and desires

warring within, fighting for dominance
     I struggle

I cannot express the helplessness
     lost inside myself
