Secrets by MoonDaughter
Secrets? Secrets are what I’ve kept best.
Through every journey, through every test.
Yet now as I face her bloody red eyes,
I fear her powers may reveal my lies.
Of all the things my heart as hid,
Through death and darkness, as a kid,
Jessica’s secrets tore through all,
Haunting my nightmares in its call.
I knew this secret was perfect bait,
Here I’d stand, with brother in wait.
I’d lure her out and wait to send,
To dispel Bloody Mary to her end.
Yet the minute my brother left the room,
Blood Mary came to spell my doom.
With a nightmare coming in my form,
I felt a terror come, both sickly and warm.
My blood flowed free as my tears,
Releasing all what had lied in my fears.
The fault of death had been on me,
To Jessica’s death I’d been the key.
Days before the dreaded fire,
I’d seen it happen in the world of tire.
Night after night, I’d see the truth.
I’d watch her die behind closed booth.
Now as the spirit recited my fear,
I dreamed the peaceful end was near.
Yet as the end flashed in my mind,
My brother Dean had come to find.
He’d saved me from death’s dark door,
I’d been spared, given life once more.
With Bloody Mary dead and gone,
Me and my brother would move on.
Yet as we left, the town passing by,
My brother questioned what had been my lie.
I turned to him and refused to tell,
What in my past had befell.
Turning to look, on the corner stood,
Something I though never could.
Her cold eyes stared in hate,
Despising me for her fate.
Through all my fear, my sadness, my guilt,
My secrets would stay in the prison I’d built.

Never Letting Go by mummyluvr *
My name is called, I turn my head
No breath to breathe, now full of dread
She helps me up, we stumble in
She digs about, and finds his sin
She’ll never know, he never can
My death was brought by his two hands
He shot me once, the water froze
But I can’t leave, and he won’t know
The journey’s long, short for the dead
To rid the demons from his head
I think it knows, his eyes grow black
Escaping ropes, the thing attacks
There is no doubt within my mind
It knows my secret, my new lie
But Sammy won’t, and never will
Kept in the dark about his kill
We’re headed out, the demon gone
He’ll never know that he’s done wrong
And in the breeze, I do not shiver
I just lie dead out in the river
~*~
By Rachel3a5
Demons,
Can't they see what they have done
they have pulled they trigger
I am there gun
There in your mind they creep up from behind
What I've lost can never be found
and now I see my girlfriend buried under the ground
Demons inside,
Demons around,
Demons I know might never be found
Is my mind this way are my thoughts destined to stay
Cant' I run? Can't I hide?
No my thoughts are attached to my mind
I have lost what I am and wanted to be
searching and searching...for what's done this to me

Two Warriors of Light by maria noel
Floating in an ocean of souls
I live.
Screams and terror
around me.
I was once a person
now, just a bad dream.
My heart has stopped
a while ago.
But my soul is
still looking for
a place to go.
remember I was
in Dr. Ellicott’s loony house
just dreaming with
a better life.
But I only found
darkness and rage.
Now I’m floating
in an ocean of souls
waiting for this hell
to stop.
Kids keep coming and going
all afraid of me
but I just want to
scream: Please, help me!.
Two warriors have come
fearless and brave
decision in their eyes
dark destiny over their shoulders.
Two warriors of the light
Will power and rightness
fill us with hope.
Our doom is over,
I can see the light
Eternity is mine.
And now, we,
Dr. Ellicott’s freaks
only scream:
The Winchester makes us Free!!

I Would Have Rather Died Instead by Jinx
Shadow is drawn to light
And light to shadow,
And at the same time repulsed
By its own composition.
Light and dark are good and evil.
At least that's what
I'm taught.
But I don't really know.
Not anymore.
Because nothing is black and white anymore.
Nothing is light and shadow.
Because they blend,
The merge.
I have darkness in me
And sometimes is shows.
I'm not sure where to turn,
Sleeping inside this waking nightmare.
There's nothing anymore
except the Hunt.
The Hunt that drives my onward.
No.
That's wrong.
It used to be the Hunt, but not anymore.
After Death came walking
and tried to take my hand
and because I was afraid
decicded to take another
the Hunt hasn't been my purpose anymore.
Now my purpose
is to just keep going.
Keep going with this
Weight on my sore shoulders,
Keep carrying this secret storm,
Like a good little soldier.
I trudge on.
For him.
For he who died
That I may live,
That I may trudge,
With this heavy weight
baring down on my bones.
I would have rather died instead.
Because now not even
the Hunt holds value to me.
All of life's good pleasures
have become ash in my mouth
that I cannot swallow
and so I choke on the dust
that man is made of
and becomes when he dies
and is washed away
by the ethereal rains.
I want the light
but I feel like a shadow.
This cannot be a dream,
And I know why it's real.
Because it hurts so bad.
What is there left in life
except each heavy footstep
that carries me one step closer
to a fate that is not mine
but his?
Was I not to die and he to live?
I would have rather died instead.
And so what am I
but a ghost
a Disembodied spirit
Chained to a moving corpse?
Who am I that I was chosen?
An avenging angel?
Or a depraved demon?
I feel my knees buckling beneath me
As I try and grasp
a reason to fight.
I would have rather died instead.

Yellow Eyes by jj'sgirl
Yellow eyes shining bright
Yellow eyes casting out all light
Yellow eyes causing pain
Yellow eyes, and fighting is all in vain
Words said, can’t be taken back
Tears fall when actions lack
Trying hard to fight what’s inside
Screams from his lips, and part of you died
Unable to stop that pain that you see
Knowing it’s worse, coming from thee
Dad, don’t you let it kill me
But you’re trapped inside, unable to free
Fighting so hard
Fighting for love
Knowing it’s futile
But asking for help from above
Blood pouring out
And you know without a doubt
You’ve killed your son
And the demon has won
Yellow eyes shining bright
Yellow eyes casting out all light
Yellow eyes causing pain
Yellow eyes, and fighting is all in vain
Stop this, you yell
To your knees you have fell
Your son points the colt, knowing it’s still inside
And you want more than anything to know you have died
But patricide isn’t to be
And suddenly the demon is free
Your head falls to the floor in defeat
Knowing it won’t be the last time you meet
A cock of your angered brow
Then why can’t you see
It needed to end now
The only way to save thee
A deep despair, knowing all was for not
A flash of light, and a crushing pain your only thought
Only one bullet left, to get out of this jam
And tears fall again, knowing that it wants only Sam
Yellow eyes shining bright
Yellow eyes casting out all light
Yellow eyes causing pain
Yellow eyes, and fighting is all in vain

UnSaved Darkness by SuperTeen
Quiet.
Cold.
Lost.
Is somebody there?
Pale cheeks
Wide eyes
Please someone
help me
I don’t want to die
He came out of nowhere
He said he was my friend
I knew him
Saw him around
I liked him
He was nice
Cute
My mom
He whispered one day
Breath tickling my ear
Hurt
An Accident
I got into the car
This isn’t the hospital
I told him
He smiled at me
Not a nice smile
A white cloth
A smell
Darkness
I’m scared
Can you save me?
I’m afraid of the dark
I don’t know what’s out there
I hear it
Footsteps
My breath catching in my throat
In the darkness my panic swells
Hysteria bubbling in my chest
Terror
He’s coming for me
Darkness
And then light
I stumble back
I have to fight
Blood that blossoms on my shirt
A small cry as I hit the dirt
He watches me
With stony eyes
So many secrets, so many lies
Please help me
Save me
Hold me
I don’t want to die
The tiles are cold
I’m cold.
It swirls around me
Suffocating me
Heart beating in my ears
I can hear it
Dripping
The life slipping away from me
Settling deep inside the cracks
I gasped and choked
Everything around me becoming soaked
He was smiling.
So while I lay there on the floor
My killer watching me from the door
Everything was turning black
I swore
I would come back
And kill him
~*~
Shadow by TacyAlexandra
In the shadows I can’t see,
What is there in front of me?
Steal my heart steal my life,
Ripped out with a knife
Driving up in their Chevy,
Dressed up boys very sexy,
Looking round here and there,
What they find they can’t compare,
In the bar late at night,
Who’s that in Sammy’s sight?
Walking up to see her face,
Its Meg we now see in this place
Outside in the street,
Dean and Sammy meet,
Is it strange or is it fate?
That Meg is here in this place
Watching her in his car,
Through the window not too far,
Out the door and down the road,
Following her to her abode
What’s that Sammy spies,
Megs harsh summoning cries,
Communicating through the veil,
Not quite sure what it entails.
In the room connections made,
If they go will this fade,
On the phone quick call to dad,
Off they go to stop something bad
Sneaking up, but no luck,
Demons start to attack,
Thrown away and knocked out,
Dean in the distance shouts
Baiting Meg whilst getting free,
How gullible can she be?
Over goes the sacred altar,
Meg is taken by the Daeva
In their room what’s in the shadows,
Watch out the demon follows,
Dad, Dean and Sammy together,
Dad thrown back like a feather
Loosing blood through rips and cuts,
The light comes and never stops,
Shadows be gone far from our sight,
For we will end this tonight
At the car going separate ways,
Never be far be family always
~*~
By NikkiCee
Forever plagued by a haunting secret
Worry no longer for I feed on sin
Can't hide a single thought you've kept
For I shall drain you from within
A murderous game I shall forever play
Tearing all those guilty apart from the inside
No matter for they won't live another day
And you can run, but secrets you can't hide
I see a guilty conscious surrounding your soul
Full of emotions running wild and free
Consumed until now inside a gaping hole
But forever longer they belong to me
~*~
Embers by Taiven
He’s forgotten the moment,
He learnt of death.
That one single moment,
That stopped her breath.
Within the fiery embers,
Where life seemed to lack.
The hot scorching embers,
Where she didn’t come back.
And it’s all just a memory,
He relives every second.
As light becomes memory,
And dark starts to beckon.
It’s the monster inside,
That he fights to control.
The destruction inside,
That crushes his soul.
A creature of himself,
Unlike all he has fought.
Deprived from himself,
Making him rot.
He tells him he’ll fight,
The truth can be kept.
But what’s left to fight,
But tears to be wept.
He wants to be saved,
To be ended as well.
But naught can be saved,
From the ashes of hell.

Fright Cycle by grkgrl88 *
On this stretch of highway, an annual haunt.
I’ll whisper to you, frighten, and taunt.
You run to the road, yell “Stop!” and gasp.
I make you relive the worst of your past.
But this time you caused no car to crash.
The tires skidded and the headlights flashed.
Two brothers were there and offered their aid.
The paranormal was, after all, their trade.
So they knew what happened, that you were dead—
but they played their part, watched what they said.
The night went on like every other year:
“She’s mine,” I said, and you cowered in fear.
Then the brothers broke in and they finished me.
You left with them and saw what should be:
Your husband, remarried, in a happy life.
You didn’t realize your fifteen-year strife.
You replayed your death, year in and year out,
But no memory stuck, you didn’t even doubt.
It all happened before—you just couldn’t see—
Spirits can choose what they want to believe.

Looking Glass by smiley353
I can see you through the looking glass
Ignorant and unaware
You straighten up and catch my eye
Locked in a deadly stare
I glare at you, you start to choke
I say those words you hate the most
You thought it was over, in the past
But now I just brought back the ghost
You thought you’d get away with it
The little mistake you made
Buried in the back of your mind
Where you’d hoped it’d start to fade
But now I’m here, and want revenge
Justice must be served
So I hunt around and murder those
Who didn’t get what they deserved
My name is Mary, Bloody Mary
And my story is as sad as they come
I was deformed and left to die
My body slowly going numb
Before I perished I tried to reveal
The man who had done this to me
But before I could finish, I slipped away
Unable to disclose his identity
So now I hunt, and hunt I will
Until all those liars are dead
Bleeding tears with guilt and regret
Flooding through their head
So if you have a secret
That’s become too hard to bear
Take a glance into your looking glass
And I’ll be waiting there.
~*~
Werewolf by SamLover *
When the full moon rises high in the sky,
I begin to weep; for it’s the day that I die.
My brethren’s calling fills the night,
The battle begins and I start to fight.
It started happening along time ago,
For a stranger bit me and his disease he bestow.
Every month since I turn into a beast,
Rampaging the streets; on humans I feast.
When morning comes I don’t remember a thing,
Deaths fill the news and my heart begins to sting.
I hate myself for it- I wish I were dead,
Turn down the sheets and just lie in my bed.
But I’m not that person- to selfish for that,
Besides, only once a month you humans make me fat.
So next time you’re walking and hear a low growl,
You better get going because I’m on the prowl.
Humans are smart- they know when to run,
When the full moon rises and replaces the sun.

HEART by dandylion
I've heard that Love is like a rose, and other pretty things...
Like butterflies with colors bright and beautiful, fragile wings.
I've also seen Love portrayed as a baby, with arrows and a bow-
A rather cloying image, as far as symbols go.
But ask someone who's been in love; they'll tell you what it's like:
Love is as sweet and harmless as a cobra ready to strike.
Love is big and hairy. A predatory beast
That sneaks up on the unwary and strikes when expected least.
Love isn't cute and cuddly... Love has teeth and claws.
Love doesn't take any prisoners. Love makes its own set of laws.
Love isn't soft and mushy. Love is hard and strong
And nothing else can stand in it's way- at least not for very long.
Love is painful, Love plays rough, Love isn't even fair
But none of that really matters because Love doesn't really care.
Once Love gets you, you've had it. No use in trying to fight
'Cause there is no force on this whole Earth to ease Love's devouring bite.
Love will bash your head in. Love will break your back.
And there's nothing you can do at all to fend off the attack.
So go ahead and whisper sweet nothings under the stars,
But don't try to tell me what Love is, my friend, until you can show me the scars.
~*~
Incoherent Lucidity by Chloe K. *
Gotta ask are you out of your mind?
You’re expecting the earth to just swallow you whole
Don’t you dare try to tell me you’re fine
The world is too big for that heart of yours, bro
Put your feet back beneath you, okay?
I can’t do this without you; give all that you got
Yeah I know you’ve got nothing to say
But we’re blowing this nightmare now, ready or not
And the gun that sweat glues to your hand
Hear it rattling, shaking your core and your soul
Something ugly you don’t understand
Taking chances with love always charges a toll
If you’d let me I’d probably run
Think I’d grab you and make a mad dash for the car
We’d be miles from here, we’d be done
Put behind us these hideous things we now are
Hope has fled and it left you behind
With an ache in your heart and a nail in your shoe
Cut a life-line like scissors and twine
Does she know what she asks when she asked this of you?
Put to shame all the times that you laughed
Seems ridiculous now to assume it was real
Don’t you see that there’s more than one path?
This is one piece of life that you don’t need to feel
Incoherent; both branded and bruised
Here in silent lucidity, try to be strong
Knowing now all along you were used
Seems unbearably painful; impossibly wrong
And what hurts more than all the above
And what tears out the heart of a brother inside
More than wasting what once you could love
Are the translucent tears you just can’t hold inside
~*~
