i have been writing this poem since last october, and i have finally finished the whole thing. Enjoy.

"Shores of Mourning, Pt. 1"

Deep in the corners of my mind, there lie
emotions i refuse to tell.
Tormenting my soul, how it burns, it burns
in my self-created hell.
I, alone, am the dark lord there,
antagonist of my tortured cries.
I am my own bloodied Satan
fallen angel of my own demise.

She left me there in a sea of self-loathing,
hated by my only friend.
Drown myself in the deep waters of Mourning,
memories bring my end.

Taken over by dreams of her,
Visions of her in the distance,
I see her live, I see her dead,
always crying like a frightened child.
A sickle in one hand, a rose in the other,
like Death's precious valentine.
Soft lips that once brought life to mine
now kiss me with sorrow and pain.
The sweet voice that once whispered declarations of love
now screams cries of death.

"Shores of Mourning, Pt. 2"

apathy, desire to live is gone
left with nothing, alone
shoved onto me, the loss of your love
uncertainty, Death sings his Sirens Song

as i approach the clear crystal lake
Mourning be its name
memories of her in my mind flash by
but rot as quick as they came

impeded by vines, impeded by grief
the maze of the forest doth try
to keep me from a watery grave
to reconsider my desire to die

led by my visions, down a familiar path
though id never seen it before
walking down the steps of perdition
death opens his door

the moon's reflection, a welcome sight
on a night that might well be my last
i nestle into the shores of Mourning
The woods restraining my past

"Shores of Mourning, Pt. 3"

lying at the bank of a fog covered lake
contemplating my life's duration
lost in the mist of the waters of Mourning
lost in desolation

amidst the ivy on the ne'er trodden earth
hidden from view of the world
ethereal shadows of the moonlit forest
alight the lake, colored pearl

deep in the woods, and deep in thought
i take in a moment of life
a single moment that lightens my death
of an existence stricken with strife

clouds pass by the harvest moon
darkening the view of the lake
no light to behold, no life to live
nor another breath to take

dawn draws nearer, my heart cries out
"before the sun paints the sky,
end it now, while you still now how,
while you still know what it means to die..."

Hehe, emo and angsty, but good nonetheless.

That was really good. The more you wrote the better it got.

"Shores of Mourning (Kylito remix)"

Deep in the cracks of my mind there lie...
emotions I refuse to voice.
Distracting from my outward interactions...
It seems I have no choice.
I, alone, am the cast in there,
antagonists and victims alike.
I am my own bloodied bitch,
and I too am rockin' the mic.

She's physically gone but I talk to her still,
she's my enemy and she is my friend.
I'm drowning myself in deep waters of Mourning,
memories will soon be my end.

Absorbed by visions of her,
I can't see the world,
I see her alive and dead.
Sometimes she's crying
like a frightened child,
she won't let me own my own head.

Soft lips that brought life
now kiss me with pain.
The void she has left
is rotting my brain.
