Lullaby for a princess

Posted Jul 18, 2010 · 13 lines · 1 critiques

My princess please come to me,
My lullaby a to sooth your ache.

Your pain I see,
Let me take.

Your pain can leave with me,
I can take the pain for your sake.

I take my relief,
I have special ways.

I am a pain theif,
When I leave the pain never stays.

I am the relief of pain,
But I'm also the one with nothing to lose or gain.

~Ash Knight

A fiery night (dream)
" I was walking down the street trying to get home when a car came around the corner,a '68 dodge challenger, it stopped but the windows didn't come down and no one got out. So I continued to walk. A few minutes later I look behind me and the car is right there, I don't mean it was where I left it, i mean it RIGHT THERE, right behind me! So I turn and stare at it for a minute, nothing happens. So I walk, again. Then I get home, walk through the door and take off my coat. I looked out the window and gaped. The car was there again! In our drive way! I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't like it. I'd had enough, I walked outside and banged on the driverside door. Nothing happened, so a banged some more. When I was ignored once again, I started yanking on the door, it opened. And all I could do was stare in horror. My own father stepped out of the car, but it wasn't him, he was on fire, i saw the skin melt away from bone, and the eyes burn and drip away, saw how he stared, eyeless at me. I didn't scream yet, it wasn't over, and I somehow knew that. "

The Past
"   You carry the past with you, dragging it behind you, on a thick unbreakable chain, no matter how far you look ahead. You can ignore it for long stretches of time, but, you can't escape it...ever. I can/will drag that chain ten thousand useless miles, but that house, and that place, along with all the people I care about that are in it, will just continue to pull me back, back to the pain, the hurt, and all those meaningless and fake promises of a normal, happy, family. There has/will/is never any choice in it for me.  I will have to return, it is not a matter of pride, not a matter of love, and definatly not a matter of life. It is a torture, seeing all the people who I never liked, all the ones who never liked me."

Charles Manson rides again
"Charles Manson “rides again” for all who dont know who charles manson is(all though i highly doubt there are many) charles manson is a man born in 1969,and a would be music director,but IS a mass murderer who nearly started a race war in his day of “flower power”.charles manson is currently in a rehibilitation facility in california,and is currently 74 years of age,[not counting this year].Although I disagree with many things this is a very interesting case,but what i will say is that charles manson should have died long ago.But apparently that wont happen [and we wonder why the state of california is messed up] well so far this my info on the subject,please correct me on my errors if you wish,or add your own info or comment on this subject."
