Like Glass
by Isla

Speckled fragments of
Life
Withering and floating
Gently
Sailing to the bottom
Drifting
Crushing my heart
Mind
Grasping my soul
Fog
A reminder of me
Blank
Digging a hole
Monsters
Reduced to ashes
Gone
The stars don’t shine
Dull
A colorless landscape
Pointless
My invisible scars
War
I barely made it

 
Morphine; my only friend
by Isla

A breather is all you need to see a different world,
to feel ecstasy,
to induce expression.
Black bottle-top,
clear liquid,
drowsy eyes.

Pain.

You smile on a rainy day.
The curtains are closed to the sunshine;
your life’s fallen apart.
Your knuckles whiten as you feel the prick.
The muffled screams follow your mind,
driving you insane.
Your body convulses,
the needle falling
from your cold and clammy hand.


I can’t.

Your eyes fight to stay awake, vision blurry.
The sunshine has become blue,
the blue has become glassy.
You fall short of breath.

I hurt.

The grace of a faint smile crosses your lips.
You’ll never get rid of it; not while you still have it.
That possession.
That obsession.
Blackness.

[stanza one]
towards the path of dawn
open your clear blue eyes
sleeping and screaming
can't open your eyes

[pre-chorus]
water drowns you into hell
can't find a way out
lovely maiden hero or soldier
find a way to escape now

[chorus]
way beyond the shadows
life is waiting
you can hold on and break the spell
don't try to drown yourself

[stanza two]
secrets unveil, deliver us all
warring hunger
burst into bloom
the darkness you consume
come home and relive the dream

[pre-chorus]
water drowns you into hell
can't find a way out
lovely maiden hero or soldier
find a way to escape now

[chorus]
way beyond the shadows
life is waiting
you can hold on and break the spell
don't try to drown yourself

[stanza three]
among the people
mother embraces you
tear through the demons
swear you'll make it through
 
Countdown
by Isla

Dirty little secrets
Sabotage, espionage
Fire the pistol
Femme Fatale
Underlying enemy
Bloody uprising
Blow away the smoke
Cat and mouse, lethal arouse
Mission accomplished
 
The Clock Turns
by Isla

Falling swiftly
Close your eyes
Leave this place
Senses captured

Float toward the edge
A new beginning
Fall faster
Drift between time

Feel wind and breeze
Live and smile
Pass straight by
Harness a new future​
 
Devour
by Isla

Souls bound as one
Sleight of hand
Softly, deftly
Silence of the night

Caress on cheeks
Care not little
Creature of lust
Climb towards the top

Senses wrap around
Seeking pleasure
Stealing love
Sifting into a whirlwind
