    Shards of a Dirty Heart

    Diving into a pool of extra-thin blood
    the streams of which divide death from life.
    And in the sorrowful lake of empathy
    a little hairless baby lies.
    It's socketed eyeholes bear a shuddering shake
    that you shiver off from nerves.
    Its vain attempt of breath is but a cold inhalation,

    whilst a fire rages
    screams behind the pillars of yellow sulphur,
    doomed cat calls, yelps of life snatched away.
    Each licking flame
    caressses
    caressses
    hissing with a vagrant stitch.
    Sharp attacks and bubbling skin,
    the baby lies in gloopy haemoglobin.
    Gradual gradual
    eating away at ....stuff
    gentle destruction as pyro pries the family away..

    I look on,
    grinning in my twisted car,
    smirking through my sordid brain.
    No way will the monsters touch my heart again

    -------------------------

    aloof, along a dirttrack road
    and memories of flickering lights pass my brain
    and the cracking sky.
    Rain tries to fall
    in spatterings
    smatterings.
    Tarnishing the vision
    I drive along
    in my cold-hearted journey.
    People stare
    people stare
    my car crumpled by a ditch
    frozen with a grey cardy on.
    Shivering by a munching hill,
    with rabbits jumping.
    How i wish to kill
    their scrawny necks..
    There a pastor sits
    with a table of drooping flowers,
    what a wuss!
    He caught my eye and winced
    how dare he
    weirdo.
    Some part of me wants to catch those petalled heads and crush...

    Though strides later i'm scared to talk
    some petrifying force holds me back,
    yet again some frequent pulse is in my head
    and heart perhaps.
    Those flashes of carnage
    childhood memories of suffocating
    penitrating love
    and then.
    then i ran.
    But they caught me,
    I hid.
    But they found me,
    I killed.
    But they haunt me.

    "Dry your eyes child"
    Softer than the expected glare
    No pastor do I see but a withered man in purple new rocks.
    A corny smile and raven hair half parted apart..
    and a crusty voice with warmth.
    His smile chills me.
    Too close too close,
    his words are innocence indeed-
    "would you buy a flower madam?"

    Do i dare risk it?
    IT's not just a flower anymore,
    but acceptance.

    I ran away from beauty,
    I with my crumpled looks,
    disfigured like some whoreish goblin.
    Bitter as a sick sick heart attack
    that spat me, like blood, out.
    People are allergic to me,
    they have to be.

    But he, that guy in purple shoes...
    he was the first person to call me madam,
    and look me in the eyes.

    Verging on the surreal
    i took the flower and held its wilting form
    to my face,
    airing in its scent of lovely heaven,
    the pastor smiled and
    was no longer there.
    I'm left on a street that's turning green...

    Click click, the sound of trolleys and medecine
    dark and shut my eyes at first,
    opened to the mental hospital
    in disguise.
    and a flower in my hand.

    This one is about a psychotic woman who is physical disfigured and feels suffocated by her family and is in a mental hospital. And she's a little bit crazy. comments greatly appreciated.
