cry
cry
til you no more weep
fall
fall
into my keep
into
into
a motionless heap
muted
muted
don’t make a peep
sleep
sleep
sunk down deep

She Tells No Spoken Lies, by Toni L.A. Cross
she laughs and always smiles
so carefully composed
while secretly, she dies
no one sees her graveyard
in still lurking shadows
deceiving carefree eyes
they do not see her pain
a great and looming past
that clouds all inner skies
plain bliss is on display
they think that all is well
she tells no spoken lies
Like this? Tell your friends!
Inside Herself, by Toni L.A. Cross
Dancing queen of dirges
Silent sage of song
Fighting instinctive urges
Saying right is wrong
She drifts in darkest corners
From one cobweb to another
She lives among the mourners
Beginning to finally smother
Canned personality purges
Bleached and on a shelf
In moodiness she splurges
Reclusive in herself
Like this? Tell your friends!
after the storm… by Toni L.A. Cross
she finds herself surrounded
by glinting jagged pieces
the light filtering through
is warm golden brown
and it plays on the puddles
of spilled fermented froth
a small cut on her arm
oozes blood unnoticed
in the wake of torrential sobbing
hiccuping sighs and gaspy breathes
are melting in the air
the sick-sweet smell of vomit
clinging to her hair
the strength to pick up
the mop is gone
it stays in its place
and she wishes she could just
disappear like
the evaporating beer
Like this? Tell your friends!
Infinite Agony… By Toni Cross
You infiltrated the atoms of this heart The essence of me is ripped apart This suction inside of me This vacuum where you should beMy blood pours out into poolsFrom a gaping wound, scarlet dribbles and drools Your roots once crept into my soul And now I’m nothing but an empty ghoul Wandering lost in my own skin Breathing air that’s hopeless and thin Oh to sleep and not to dream Without this pain, unending screamInfinite second of agonyNever, ever cutting me freeAll my tears of rage are shed
I’m left here to live as if I were not dead
