"guilty"
~Marquis~

I cant believe i let myself get into this mess
oh and lucky me i cant even confess
im guilty beyond all reasonable doubt
not that anyone could figure that out
Ill just put on a mask and be another me
just hide away the girl i was supposed to be
im growing up fast and its been a tough trip
but that doesnt mean that ill ever admit
admit my crimes, my mistakes, my beliefs
and as long as i continue there'll be no relief
the wicked shall have no peace, aint that a fact
and while were talking im going behind your back
lying to your face, but youll never see
and though you dont know it trust me im guilty

though thats the end i cant stop now
i knew i was gonna fail somehow
though my mouths shut my eyes are screamin
my heads telling me theres nothing left to believe in
my hearts telling me i have to go on
but something always seems to go wrong
ive no choice left, no one to rely on
and so im saying let by gones be bygones
i cant leave it there, though i know that i should
so im begging, please, tell me whats good
is there anyhting left to save me from myself
cause i cant seem to trust anyone else

I found my prince charming but i pushed him away
there were no words left for me to say
hes still with me but only in love
god please, i need help from above
im doing time fro these crimes
only problem is theyre not mine
so ill admit just between you and me
you may not see it, but trust me, im guilty

Alone
~Marquis~

Alone in my corner
Alone in my room
Reading my book
Alone in the gloom
Walking with them
Characters from my book
Like Moses
Or pedegrin took
Im happy there
Away from my home
A place where I
Am not alone

(Brand new, made up just now... and it is kinda depressing... then again, most of my poetry is...)
How Is This
~Marquis~

How is this home
When I do not belong
How is this love
My heart has no song
How is this life
When I have no direction
How is this me
That I see in the reflection

Do you remember?
~Marquis~

Do you remember
I cant forget
What did you feel
I was upset
Did you cry
I couldnt stop
Did you see
I watched it drop
Do you remember
I know you do
What did you feel
Cause I felt it too

Silent Screams
A short story by ~Marquis~
(I wrote this a few years back, but felt like going on a nestalgic splurge today)

My eyes are clenched shut.
I scream.

No sound escapres my lips. Im trapped. Chains slither around my wrists, entangling me. Im still screaming. The beast is getting closer, so close that I can smell his dizzying breath, the stench of rotting flesh clings to it's gaping maw. It's gleaming, knife-like teeth horrifies me. I scream harder. Still no sound.

Suddenly I sit up.

Clenching my blanket, I can feel the aftershock of my dream. My throat is sore, my wrists seem red. It is only my mind playing tricks on me. I stare at my window, imagining a soft whisper, a whisper begging me to return to my tortured sleep. But sleep is not safe, in my sleep I can die, and I have died in dreams before. And death is not pleasant, not for me, not when it is repeated, not when I can truly feel it stealing my breath. Death is never pleasant.

I slowly creep out of my bed. I keep my eyes screwed shut so that I dont have to see the shadows that could devour me. I know that they aren't real, but I am still afraid.

Inching my way across the room, not once opening my eyes, using my memory and senses to navigate the way to the light switch and my sanctuary.
I flick on the lights and jump into the corner.

Landing on a bean bag, my cozy little sanctuary. I read for one fo the books piled next to me. Finally having reached a peaceful state of mind. As my eyes scan the pages, the words start swirling. I fall back asleep, curled up in my niche, the book having fallen out of my hand.
