walking alone in the rain
i wander these empty streets
there is no one here to share my sorrow
my pain
walking alone through the fire
i wander through this empty hell
no one here to share my hopes, my dreams
my desire
worthless i wander, unwanted
there is no point to me
beaten, taunted
no one can truly love me
i sit here alone watching the world go bye
just waiting for the die
i will never be like them
i will never be happy, all i know is pain
smiling they all pass by
no one sees me as i cry
i just once want to be seen
but no one can see the tears, falling in the rain
i close my eyes trying to think
of giving up i am on the brink
no words seem to come to me
as though my imagination
is suddenly under lock and key
i pick up the pen to try again
but suddenly on the page i see
these words of my frustration
written so delicately
it was then at last i realized
my poetry is not the rhymes or words
my poetry is me
taken by your eyes i come to you
this feeling i have never felt before
you take me in your arms
and my heart forgets to beat
this feeling is so new
I want you to take me
i can wait no more
hold me tightly
make me yours
I watch as you come to me
how someone so perfect me
could consider me i never will know
but something isn't right
the closer you come the colder i feel
surely this can not be real
suddenly fear fills me
but from your grasp i can't break free
suddenly the light
begins to fade
as i feel your thorns wrap around me
i can not break free
i can not fight
what kind of man are you
no one knows
but when you reach me
i can fight no more
i close my eyes and sleep
as my soul slips into the deep
all of me belongs to you
my lord of the black rose
the skies darken
as you realize all you've done
please listen to my call
repent and change before you fall
into a deeper realm of darkness
all disquises are stripped away
not one angel chose to stay
you are on your own with the demons
the clouds begin to rain down fire
your soul begins to burn
all you ever had and desired
has been taken from you
you feel a pain that's new
a man stands beside you
his eyes to the skies
"and so it begins" he says
as he begins to cry
"what is happening" you scream
though the answer you already know
the earth, the sky, and the dragons that fly
have all begun to cry
for the darkness of men now rules this world
and all will pay for their sins
I know
I know what these people think of me
I refuse to be like them
I have been through the darkness and the fire of hell
I refuse to hide in a shell
Though my blade and fangs are dripping with bright red sin
I will not go back again
I raise my blade
Lightning strikes and shows me what I have to face this night
I race forward and begin to fight
There is too much for this lone dragon
join me and help me fight this darkness
help save our children from this living hell
don't let them be a prisoner of this world
give me a reason
to keep on trying
there is nothing left for me
give me a reason
as i lay here crying
trapped by your gaze
i can not get free
give me a reason
to keep on living
when what i've done
can not be forgiven
you look at me now
such disgust in your eye
no reason to go on now
why can i not just die
its so hard to go on
and no one
can give me a reason to try
bleeding and burning i crawl
i will not be broken
i will not fall
outside silent inside screaming
my body goes numb as i'm bleeding
beaten and bloody I ask you
are you ready
bleeding and burning I crawl
I will not be broken
I will not fall
I rip off my blazing shirt
showing no sign that i am hurt
full of pain and rage i charge
as my tears fall with the rain
they told me to drop it but i will not stop
even now i charge onward
as i am dying
this body can't take much more
but into battle with my people
my spirit will soar
let all the world hear our battle cry
for our spirit will never die
i can feel the flames
burning deep in my heart
he laid his hands on her
his death will be an art
i set out now to complete my masterpiece
I follow him silently listening
this will not be over quickly
I drive my blade into his leg
as he begins his screaming
his blood flows quickly
the trail is set, you can not hide
the scent of blood intoxicating
you will never be free
run all you want
your soul belongs to me
when all is said and all is done
all they will find of you
after i've had my fun
is a pile of ashes
and deep inside your soul knows
you cannot escape
you've always known
ever since i left you
that single black rose
someone please tell me i am dreaming
my left arm bound by thorns
my heart is screaming
a new day of torture is dawning
my right arm now bound by chains
someone save me, my heart is bleeding
the demons are all around me laughing
and the angels send nothing but their scorn
someone help me, for i am dying
silently i lie here praying
for an end to all this pain
when a man appears silently crying
he says "take this gift and suffer no more,
accept this gift and fly with me forevermore"
and then at my feet, a black rose, he placed so tenderly
and now finally, I am free
gone in the middle of the night
thought you would be free
but you can not escape me
the darkness surrounds you
i am here
and now you will know true fear
don't try to fight
let it all slip away
for either way, you will not see another day
you will be mine
your mind, your body, your soul
all of you will be mine
can you see them
watching and listening
pulling your strings like a puppet
can you see them
whispering and laughing
mocking you while you struggle
worry no more for i am here
can you see them now
running and screaming
terrified of every movement and sound
see the light in their eyes
slowly fading
as they are bleeding and burning
