Unhealthy Fascination

The boy with the devil may care attitude.
The wanton goth girl whose life wastes away.
The villain in the movie who captured my imagination.
The anti-hero that flaunts all rules.
The tempting romance of the Devil
The drugs and alcohol
The rock star who burnt out
The torn jeans and the quicksilver ride.
The venom that could kill in an instant.

I find that we all have fascinations for the dark side of things. We can't help but be attracted to the anti-norm. We can't help but be perpetually mesmerized by things that we know will harm us.

Deep down inside, we all will want to flaunt and flirt with that someone or something; that we fantasize about but will never want to bring home.

The Extent Of Pain

Neverending nights of endless rain,
Washing amidst the pain,
Tattoed tears,
Etched on my face,
A stream of memories I can't replace.

Neverending nights of endless pain,
Washing amidst the rain,
Broken flesh,
In my mind a stain,
That is the extent of my pain.
