Hands Standing On Themselves
By David Barnum

The stress that overtakes my heart
Will only sink deeper into pain of sight
Under the pressures that endure your thought
Your eyes that brings feelings too tight
For you to understand
Don't break the feelings I have
You can't cry because you wouldn't save
My heart that breaks inside my mind
Just kill me now with no time
Kill me
With thee
Pieces
Misses
Look into my eyes
As death sighs
Looking for an answer to look for

Death Will Cry: A Song Of Pain
By David Barnum

Dreams will fly, as the crisp death leaves
Fingers painfully will try, a slip with seeds
Trying too hard with a sigh and a dip of deeds
Just when you die, the flip of your head bleeds

Your words are trying to tell a story of pain
With your sighing--it is a toy for no gain
Hearts of dying--a sound, being coy forever to drain
But as the singing dies, your mind like a boy, can't see the lain

Breathless voices move across the misty land
Fingers embracing a wooden cross that will bend
Walking with you, hand and hand, as I toss the sand
The tears will flow, as the chaos as we stand

Deeds of a sorrow that weeps in nothing but fear
Words will billow, seeks ideas for everything near
Eyes will bring wallow, as it speaks in something close to your ear
They will only follow the blood that sleeps that will woe to not be clear

Whispers of a death with slow, motionless sighs
Emotions running of faith will glow, but not the cries
That force of love in birth to show forever in lies
Blood will bring the growth--never flow in goodbyes

You Broke Me
By David Barnum

A broken leg that will never heal
A broken leg for more than ten years
A broken leg will heal soon but for a cost
A broken leg that the fire will still go on in my life

A heart will bleed as I walk
A heart with the pain I will feel
A heart beating as I move towards the lake
A heart that is inside me as my belly starts to get bigger

A thought that escapes my mind as I feel it inside me
A thought from one day to the next as I think of his words
A thought in my mind as things come with a rose
A thought will move as if from one day to the next, I think of times lost and time gained

A breath that will come form my mouth
A breath will escape with the birth of my child
A breath of blood that flows from my body
A breath from the baby as it cries right beside me

A feeling of joy as the days pass me
A feeling that makes me cry
A feeling of my house beside the lake I grew up in
A feeling of sadness as I remember my parents' deaths

A cry of fear as it takes over my body
A cry from me as the person in my dreams is right beside me
A cry that will never leave until I die
A cry will last till the next when they will change me into a vampire


She......Is Killing Me
By David Barnum

The bathroom is the best place to go
But with Jake dead and a hot vampire
His skin perfect, rich sky blue eyes, and chocolate black hair
The smile he gave me when I looked at his eyes did tell
But as he searched my purse and reached for me,
I didn't want him to get too closer to what I needed

Taking the needle of poison out from my skirt
I stabbed him with what it was worth
But he started to get mad and huffy
As I backed away to see him not happy
Yet as he told me that he was angry at me
I tried to embrace myself with fear still inside

After repeating himself for me to drop all my clothes
He did it anyway without my reaction to the choice
Undoing the zipper on my skirt and taking my shirt off with hearts
My heart skipped a beat with so many thoughts
Yet that didn't hid my red checks as I looked to see
I told him to stop, but inside I started to bleed

After time passed without the truth coming out
I was in the tub with sweat and crying so softly
Breathing hard to scrape the images out of my mind
I tried to stand as he took my arm with his hands
I stood there shocked as he told me what he did
I was pregnant, and I don't know what to do inside

Old House
By David Barnum

There was an old house up the street
That was always dark and meek
Yet during the night
You can hear it sigh
That makes you come closer to it

Fire In The Night Sky
By David Barnum

Fire in the moonlight
The stars gleaming down on us
As we sleep tonight


Don't Go Without Me
By David Barnum

A the light moves
The stars glows
Through the tears of joy
The moon that tries to sway
Raindrops of a life
Fall as they lie
Love in a cause to be
All to be here but here with me


Breathless Stories That Will Not Care
By David Barnum

Nothing more to understand
A lose that forsakes everything
Even the last breath that escapes my mouth
Has to fly on wings that are covered with blood
Depends on a fate unforgiven
Yet not misunderstanding of it all
Sounds that take these things to the heart
Accept the impossibilities once and then deny it a second time
Just a tear is what emotions are built upon,
But you will not care one bit for my life not there
When I'll be in a grave, you fears will not care

Time: One Two Three
By David Barnum

One for a heart unknown
Two for tears on my face
Three ways in the path for you
Four signs pointing to the right
Five times my heart was broken
Six small breaths to calm down
Seven since a touch of pain
Eight fingers to wonder why
Nine drips that will never escape a whisper
Ten minutes that will soak blood
Eleven blades going into your back
Twelve needles piercing your skin
Thirteen licks all over your body
Fourteen flames consuming everything
Fifteen bones that will break
Sixteen pinches that will never leave
Seventeen lips kissing your dead body
Eighteen clicks of a bomb
Nineteen seconds left
Twenty moments that leave you to say bye

I Feel Alone: What Is Life To Be?
By David Barnum

I feel alone as the wheels of fate unfolds in my hands,
Once the pain is too great to expect and overcome
Knowing what the true blood that drips onto each of us
YOU will be dead, before even knowing it.

Death will be a bitter cold as you walk that thin line
Don't ever look back because you are still dead,
From the chills that stream down your back
And the blank words on the pages as you see them.

The rope, iron chains, and the axe that's on the table,
That will open up your skin as you hang in the air
But don't bother to get away from my reach,
Memories of something bleak of rich jasper blood.

If you want the idea that you will get away from all of this
Remember that you will not get far without your legs
And your arms that drag below to your kneecaps
As the time you have left is drifting away.

Move away as you will never reach the end
The motion that the blood will spill as you move across the room
But just as your last breath of life escapes from the cut in your throat,
Lean back in your chair as the think blood takes but your life.


You Will Die By The Time The Hand Reaches 1
By David Barnum

A bleeding chest damp even for giving her intended justice. Keep lying, motion neither open poor quiet reflections since the ultimate veins wave.

Blood Drips
By David Barnum

Another fate at life as the time passes in your eyes
Yet not forever, when the blood drips and the souls weep
Breaking the moments that you never had with me
Better to be left alone to die alone in pain and without seen

My mind will never understand the true things in life
Just as the blood soaks the wrath of my inner mind
Crushing the fragile mind that will never give
Mindless voices as the table turns the blood

Singing as the justice will never come to the right side
Voices that will move your head to break even more
Just stand there while I put this knife through your heart
Your eyes WILL be shut, I'll never say HI.

A Walk To The Floor
By David Barnum

Walking in the moonlight with you sparkle in my eyes
Waiting for you to grab your beer with long sighs
Guiding you towards the party with a smile on your face
The night will only shine as you walk from side to side
Dancing on the dance-floor as the beat moves your body
I watch form a distance just to listen to the music
Just as the fun came, the time passed us by
Taking time to leave the bar, the streetlights guiding our path
Walking by your side as I guide you from falling on the ground
Taking your hand as I open the door to your house
Guiding you towards your bed
I lay you down to sleep
Watching you to make sure your safe
The whole night if I have to see
That you are ok to be
But before I could go home
I feel asleep on the floor

Fresh Meat
By David Barnum

The rich thin blood that pours into my mouth so smoothly
Eating the flash of the living as I walk on my own legs
Creasing the neck with all my teeth as I bite away
Not leaving till the iron taste of blood is leaking out
My nails dig deep in my victims breast and the stomach
As blood drains down her smooth skin to the floor
Her white dress soaked and the smell is sweet
Yet it is with hunger that I drive a hand through her throat
The blood gushing out as the last threads of life escape her
As I throw her body lifeless onto the hard sidewalk
I reach and grab for the next victim and begin to kill again

Thoughts
By David Barnum

Dream a little past a thought
Moving my eyes to a light
Drifting in an echo that lasts
A tear will fall at the many sighs
Never knowing a feeling besides being alone
Faces saying a phrase of not known
Just as you touch my eyes
The thoughts will only see sighs

The things are tied to the sences
Likelyness of being killed.
You die, yet the body is still alive.
Nothing but sorrow will take your soul.

A mind is so small,
Most people don't understand why.
But most know what death is.
Blood falling from the skies,
The tears drying up
As the skull is being crushed.
It's the pain that most understand
And with that,
They think they are safe.

Broken dreams
Faceless seems
Thoughtless sorrow
Being here tomorrow

Being With You Makes Me Cry
By David Barnum

Just the thought of being with you
Breaks my heart that aches to see your face
I will always wait for the moment,
To take you in my arms tonight
Openly as with the minutes that pass
The fine hard liquor on our lips
The beer that flows inside our bodies
My mind running a thousand miles
Holding your hand tightly in mine
Having you grace me with a smile
Laughing and having a good time
As my eyes start to drift away
The breathless sight of your eyes
Seeing you will just make me cry
I don't want to let you go
But the years have shown
Looking at your gravestone
I just wish I was with you by his throne

A Lovers' Heart
By David Barnum

Your fire will burn in the hell that you can't leave
A feast that every starving child will just die
The truth as it never unfolds but just as you sleep
Can't you just give into your desires for a second?
But I guess you could just chase the pain
With the floor gone, the feet will walk nowhere
Take this road, or no road at all if you lived
Travel by a sign that moves you in either direction
Less of a dream when the wolfs will chase you
Cities will fall but only the dream will continue
Fools without a worry to a disease world in chaos
Turn your head to the side and wish you can see
Every time you pause, your mind is lost to the world
A poet loose to the mind but to the last words
A sentence drifts away to a place forgotten
Yet the paper is lost to time and to my heart
The sorrow dips into a lovers heart and never leaves
Creeping shadows of a tiger that moves slowly
Just with the soft whispers glowing in the darkness
Praying as the hope is lost and death will find a way in
Locked away in sins driven towards the sky
Forgiveness without words taken to the lost blood
Thoughts intertwined in beats of a face unknown
Just don't think twice for your stupid actions
As your fault, it drives you to drink in splits
Go to die now and never say good-bye to me

From Your Death
By David Barnum

Hold my hand when I look into your face
I want to dance with you
From your grave, you will fly
Without you my heart will die
Just hold my hand when I look at you
I want to hold your hand close to me
Bracing you with my care
Trying to be there for you my love
As you hold my hand when I look into your face
Breathing hard with just a quiet whisper
My mouth going over yours
Breathing hard for your voice
But I'll have to keep holding your hand close to mine
Looking at your face without care
Caring for you ever more
When I kiss you by the door
Forever in your eyes
I'll keep holding your hand to my chest
Letting you hear my heart beating just for you
As we dance to the beat
Holding you close and tight
The soft kiss of your lips
Your hand touching my chest
Keep holding my hand closer to mine
Sighing in your ear as I care for you more
Keeping you close to the love I have for you
Minutes that will pass
Forever in the past
Always holding your hand close to me
Being together with you is what I need
Moving closer to you as I grab your hand
I'll will always be there to take your hand
I'll never leave you alone to be alone again
Just give me your hand to hold
I'll keep holding it forever more
Keep holding your hand
As my hand is holding you
But as my hand slips from you
I'll remember you forever
Just keep holding my hand

Past That Comes Alive
By David Barnum

Tick, tick, tick
As the mind just thinks too much
Without the pain that grows within
Don't waste the time that is spent in the past
Without understanding what is right now
With the understanding that we share with each other
Will never counter the love that we have
Pieces that are stuck together can not come
Until you don't think that things can change
Places to be with you not here with me
Don't ever dream of me as you sleep
Learning new ways to keep myself from you
Remember the time that is spent in pain
Blood dripping as the soul cries
Just as you watch the clock tick
The minutes pass you when you throw up,
The blood that makes you wish you were still here
Even if things turn out bad
Please don't follow me till the end
Between the good-byes and you saying sorry
You broke my heart
Tiny pieces that are everywhere
Drip, drip, drip
The pain that drips forever and ever
Pick it up and I'll die
Gather them up, and I will never love
Drop them again, and the pain will come once again
Just blow them into the wind
I'll bend and break
Loving you will make my heart melt
Because you broke it once, you might break it again
But I feel the pain that you left behind
When you hit me hard and left me for dead
Leaving me with a note:
"I'm not in love with you anymore,
because your feelings are too much for me to control my emotions.
But please keep me in your heart,
When I come back for you,
I'll hope you open your arms to me."
But whenever you come back
I don't know if I'll care for you
Leaving you a rose one minute
And you're gone from my life
That will take time to heal
When you broke my heart
Just when you come back to me
Cry into my arms with all that it is worth
When that time comes again
I'll wait just for you
Caring just this one time
To make you as happy as ever
I wish I could tell you all of this from my heart
But I guess I did

Tip It Up
By David Barnum

The beer will tip
Giving it up
As the wings fly up
Don't bother to tip
The bar that ruins it
Will only go up
The tip that goes up
Will never dream of it
Without a tip
You will dry up
As you stand up
The girl will get up
I will go for it
As with the tip

Sentences That Makes No Images
By David Barnum

Forever in your sight with tasting the bitter wine
My eyes seeing nothing designed to be forever
You are never there, without a perfect smile
Moving closer to you, with the images coming
My heart aching more, creating a time for us
Sighing with a breath that my heart bracing you
Smiling as it hurts, death is just too much
Breaking the chains, the tears will dry up
The thought moving, minds never dreaming
Even if it leaves, desire will only make
The rain will drip, when blood runs faster
Faces of tears, friendship with you
Rainbows are never here, as friends are drinking
Rush in to see you, hands caring for so much

Dreams, Thoughts, And Feelings
By David Barnum

Dreams of butterflies dancing over your head
The raindrops hitting your head softly
Yet as you look up, the blood drips down
As the liquor moves down my throat
The beer cans all over the misty grass

Looking at her eyes will calm my nerves
Never knowing what could be in store
For the images racing across the pages
A poem that tells a story, but a story is a dream
Stories of love, fantasy, and fiction in a book
Just like the image that I get from seeing you

The bind will see the true passes of light
Glowing in your eyes with a sorrowful sight
Never taking my eyes off your smile
A laugh that shows your hair waving all over
I look at you in a different way then others do
You are full of life that melts my heart away

But the chance to be with you will never be
A thought of you will never leave my mind
Loving you in my heart will thump in joy and in pain
Your words are like a song even if you don't want it to be

Hands On You
By David Barnum

Place them on me
With ever lasting breath
Your cure to the light
A breathless might
Show me the way
With all my sin away
Care for me
Minutes pass with thee

Fantasy And Dreams
By David Barnum

Thoughts moving across the 5,000 pages that dry up in the fog
Never writing words that move over the painting and onto the sidewalk
Words driven to never speak of desires that try to leave
Gather whatever you have and take flight to a world unknown
Where things come alive with a heart beating in the distance
The notes that sing their songs and the birds that walk on the ground
Beneath your feet, you see the red roses lining up to take a picture
Soft winds whispering into your ear, telling you to wish forever
Looking up to the sky, the dragons fighting or just playing around
Moving so fast in the air, their wings all everywhere
Bask in the sunlight as the stars start to come out
The moon showing its face as it opens its mouth and eats the sun
Just as the moon eats the sun, the stars start to get bigger
Dancing in a circle around the moon, they start to sing
But as you close your eyes to get ride of the images
Opening them once again, the moon is gone and the stars are bigger
Before you can run away to a place forgotten in time
You wake up from your dream with a dried up throat and a headache
Wishing you never saw what you did
You look out of the window and there in the distance is the dragons fighting again
