Pale moonlit face
Darkened by the world
Like sweet rose petals unfurled
Gentle eyes
Stained with tears
The darkness almost sears
Burnt soul
Tied and left there
Tied without the slightest care
Hanging on
To moonlit strands
With bleeding and cracked hands
You called out
Singing for release
Asking to give your soul peace
Only I heard
As I wandered this trail
Towards my own sweet vale
I came to you
For only the slightest glance
But found myself caught in your trance
I pulled away the ties
Undid every one of the ropes
To pull back your fragile hopes
And I found you
So tired and bleeding
That sane thoughts were ever fleeting
And as i nursed you
Healing your scars with time
I found you knew my scars as well as i
And when you were strong
I took you back with me to see
I took you into my heart and soul with me
I have tears in my eyes again
Falling down so hard like rain again
Make you crumble as you break me
But I'll try not to die again.
I feel the pain as I bleed once again
My heart skips a beat for you again
Once more slipping through the cracks of time
And my heart breaks yet again
Simple words and simple confessions
Like stories of utter destruction
And here I begin to die
Hidden behind a wall of lethal construction
I break my legs so I can walk for you
Break my mind so I can talk for you
And still I find it is a lie
Maybe now I'll die for you
The perfect way I break my feelings down
And shut them out so now I can drown
But I reside within a lie
So maybe the rain will pour on down
Simple words, simply written on paper
A request, some type of favor
Can you lie, tell me I'm fine?
Or should the poison thus be savored?
I sleep in my mind drowning
Break myself for you and now I'm falling
I can't abide to hear these lies
When my voice is silent as to you I'm calling
Say goodbye to you once again
Savor the taste of poison yet again
Poisoned with lies, it seems so right
How can I trust myself again?
It matters not
Should my body rot
But live still on this earth.
My soul is gone
The battles won
That started at my birth.
A battle lost
With savage cost
Has won me peace at last.
And though I'm still
I have my will
In this lot that fate has cast.
I'm drawn to the darkness,
Released in the mist.
Pulled by the wraiths here
And held by their kiss.
There in the darkness,
Asleep by the stream,
Lays my poor carcass,
Resting in peace.
And now as I'm broken
I lay here alone
And hold this small token
That shows what I've known.
I've lain here in death
For as long as I can.
And now that it's time,
My rebirth is at hand.
Broken so gently
Like porcelain dolls.
Made to see
What I never saw.
Used and broken
Forever more.
But now that I'm done
I open the door.
Raven's cry
A lullaby to the dim retreating moon
Rat's squeal
Makes danger real and brighter than the noon
Happiness
Like gentle mist fading serenly
Into despair
I breathe like air so sweetly and so keenly
White and soft like clouds of silk
Cotton brushes skin
A beauty walks a path well known
Glowing from within
Pine trees glowing in the light
Of fastest fading sun
Treking to a hidden place
Like she's always done
Plucking leaves from fragrant trees
Humming as she goes
Doing as she's always done
Away where no one knows
Bare feet on pine needles
A carpet soft and green
Where moss creates an altar
And dreams are always seen
Auburn hair filled with gold
Of sunlight shining down
Catches firelight so well
As fire licks her gown
