Away, Away,
For fortune's folly
In times of sorrow
I turned to you
You had me cry
You had me die
And pushed me towards
One drinking poison
I did not partake -
Only for one whimsy's sake
And now I sit awake,
Alone
In a psyche of misery
Poison to take
One weary death to make

I shall dance into heaven,
With angels by my side
Ever and ever
I shall dance.

With that most final work
The heart may cease
But eternity begins.

Should sorrow creep from me?
No, I say.
For life broke me
Long before my own hand did.

Let me on my journey now
For gods call
And one step I take towards rapture.

What now is my most ardent desire?

I wish to be forgotten
Like a fallen leaf
The memory of wish
Is to be nothing but trampled upon.

I danced ‘til 3am today
Until the witching hour
Then the gods cried
The sky came alive and
It broke right open for me.

I danced right in
Danced among the stars
Danced with the devil I did
To his pleasing beat,
And his seductive sin
Dancing with the devil I did.

And he held my thoughts
He held my pain
He held me tight;
Held the world away
And arm in arm, we whirled -
We danced the night away

Humming white noise
In equally white rooms
Words run together
Forgotten
Before doors open

The being of sorrow -
like the beat of a drum
rhythmic, and consistent
sorrow is best felt,
not thought.

I marched and found the moon today
They say it was past seven
It was bloody dark to me
All I could see was heaven

I took a shore
The beat rolled fast
The waves came crashing in
Night exploded, the moon imploded
Still I could see but heaven

I lived in immortality.

Death did not touch me.

Despite the world of pain

Death seemed nothing but inane.

My tears of hurt were lame

I lived in a life of the same

It’s not but nothing I feel

But life allows me to deal

Death is just a game

Leaving me not dead, but maimed

I cried a tear of joy

In life it seems quite coy

I walked along the road,

In days it seemed quite cold

Leaves crunched beneath my feet

Here death will not complete

Its journey I will ponder

In life I will but wander.

Sleep is close to death, I say

In sleep so still I lay

Because death doesn’t stop for me

In life I live, I see.

Love and pain cannot be controlled

They exist beyond the confines of the soul

If I feel not love I feel not pain

I’m dead inside – my heart is lame

One wonders how the two extremes

Are tied so tight

For love is pain, and

Pain is love

Existing emotions from above

Today I took a life

Feeling nothing worldly but strife

I cried a tear of pain

Never happiness would I deign

Tomorrow is nothing but sun

But I will be all but done

My life is naught but fear

Crying tear after tear

Make haste I say, come here

For lighting I am wary

The storms grow fast and heavy

Thunder booms in themes so merry

God watches every soul

In tears I can’t control

In happiness I do pray

Until that weary day

Today I took a life
Feeling nothing worldly but strife
I cried a tear of pain
Never happiness would I deign
Tomorrow is nothing but sun
But I will be all but done
My life is naught but fear
Crying tear after tear
