Stale Incense: Poems By Jessica Erps 

The Pain Within

Forever is the touch of time
I'm clinging to the state of mind
And when the night falls under the skin
The softness of the pain within
Diving into the thoughts forgotten
I feel the rain as the air smells rotten
The breath I take, the clothes I wear
My heart's so hard, it's hard to tear
I've fallen once, I'll fall again
The softness of the pain within
I speak the words that have no end
And the faith of forgotten souls will blend
All I need is to be touched
By the deepest red of love that's such
To sting the insides full of sin
The softness of the pain within
Finding a shoulder, a shoulder to cry on
My tears of virtue, the virtue I lye on
I can't be happy, I just can't think
My fingers won't bend and my eyes won't blink
I turn to drugs and I turn to hate
I've met death before at hell's gate
I'll play a game with you and win
The softness of the pain within
I've told you once and I'll tell you again
The softness of the pain is dead

Torn Inside

Destruction of the mind slowly seeps into my viens
Disinigrating faith on the virtue side of pain
I'm torn!  I'm torn away from all the evil in this fucking place
I'm broken until my soul bleeds on forever without a trace

Creation of the dead and dying move to save this world
And in the eyes of sin, the undoubtful truth is hurled
I'm torn!  I'm torn away from all the evil in this fucking place
I'm broken up inside without a fucking trace

I'm torn!  I'm torn!

I'm hateful, I'm deceiving, I'm lying, I'm stealing

Fuck you all, I hate you!
                            - Jessica Erps



 
Destruction

I am the stinging hand of fate
I will make you bleed until there's no hate
I will wrap you up and tie you down
Until I feel the pain around
I'm creating my image and lying to God's face
I'll suffer forever while I kick at this fucking place
I'm selling my soul to the world I betray
I'm coming through the unbroken skin some way
Death will warm over the scabs of broken wings
And puppets will move without using strings

Don't be afraid, to drench the sweat from your blood shot eyes
Heaven's just a step away, but it will take a while for us to justify
The lips that sting the broken glass, and make the thunders start to die
These sores are mending this torn up heart, and it's hard for us to realize

Creature

The evil inside is so far behind
It creeps and embeds far in the mind
It's color is green and clover shaped
Look all around, it loves to rape
It has no arms and has no legs
He'll be in the woods with millions of kegs
He loves to get drunk and loves to get high
He's under the realm and loves to die
He steals the souls of destination
And walks the earth with discrimination
And sings a song to imply
His love for others to signify
This is the end of this poem
The rest of the creature is left untold

Unsevored Dreams

Sellind this box, full of my thoughts
I don't want to hear, the terror I fear
Simple suggestions and feelings unfurled
I hate the reminders of things I've endured

Keep me away
fill me up with
unsevored dreams
I can not relate
I will not take
Cover me up and let me die

Never again will I say how I feel
You're breaking my heart and I'm changing unreal
Fading expressions and faith unexplored
Do me a favor and get out the door

Keep me away
fill me up with
unsevored dreams
I can not relate
I will not take
Cover me up and let me die

Flying forever and destroying my mind
Feeding the demons to the soul I will bind
Creating your innosence and smoking your dope
People will find you hanging, with sin at your throat

Keep me away
fill me up with
unsevored dreams
I can not relate
I will not take
Cover me up and let me die

Untitled

I control the hurt inside your head
I control the death upon your bed
I control the anguish in your eyes
I control the pain that you despize

I want to take away your soul
I want to cash another bowl
I want to lay right here and never die
I want forgiven thoughts to forget all lies

I need to find a path to walk
I need a broom to sweep the chalk
I need the scared to get away
I need broken hearts to turn to steel and clay

I know where we are going to go
I know all I need to know
I know exactly who you are
I know what you steal and what you break apart

I care about the way that people live
I care for all the strength that souls have to give
I care because this world is a darkened place
I care about the freedom and the human race

I feel this weight upon my back
I feel all the pain, my heart is turning black
I feel the hatred growing close
I feel the air beneath my toes
