What a time to be alive So sure that every day is mine "There is a time for everything!" "God knows what life can bring!" A worthless remedy for broken souls To bring them back to feeling "whole" The only day that was guaranteed It was the day that had already been

I heard it once, spoken, in a hushed tone- Was I awake to hear these words? Was i in company or was i alone, To listen to these words in that hushed tone? "Do not go silently into the night" Those words ate into an innocuous soul - From the time I was young, to the time i was old Those words lingered with a tenacious hold I misspent time and felt so much pain Life felt less the blessing and more a bane I trudged endless lonely roads And witnessed relations form and corrode I existed to exist - obligated to survive No star of any story, no one to thrive I was the one who was seen yet unseen Just another cog functioning in a machine My words were heard but never heard My future as futile as my spoken word Silence fell upon healthy ears Silence - the one thing we all fear

Silence

I heard it once, spoken, in a hushed tone- Was I awake to hear these words? Was i in company or was i alone, To listen to these words in that hushed tone? "Do not go silently into the night" Those words ate into an innocuous soul - From the time I was young, to the time i was old Those words lingered with a tenacious hold I misspent time and felt so much pain Life felt less the blessing and more a bane I trudged endless lonely roads And witnessed relations form and corrode I existed to exist - obligated to survive No star of any story, no one to thrive I was the one who was seen yet unseen Just another cog functioning in a machine My words were heard but never heard My future as futile as my spoken word Silence fell upon healthy ears Silence - the one thing we all fear

No stranger to temptation Yet i find myself here - This self destruction Compells me beyond fear Life's trappings cannot hold - The fears of mortal souls, Forced forward to an end One will never suspend So forth i will stride Into paths indeterminate - No longer denied I will advance with morals forfeit

Forbid Me Not

No stranger to temptation Yet i find myself here - This self destruction Compells me beyond fear Life's trappings cannot hold - The fears of mortal souls, Forced forward to an end One will never suspend So forth i will stride Into paths indeterminate - No longer denied I will advance with morals forfeit

I took a walk down memory lane Through moments of happiness, fear and pain - To look back and see how i've arrived - Spurs me on with a stronger stride. I feel that I've owned every mistake - And healed moments where my heart would ache, To view life through the objective lens - Pulls me through days where it feels like the end Echoes of the past follow me through life To remind me of much kinder times.

Echoes

I took a walk down memory lane Through moments of happiness, fear and pain - To look back and see how i've arrived - Spurs me on with a stronger stride. I feel that I've owned every mistake - And healed moments where my heart would ache, To view life through the objective lens - Pulls me through days where it feels like the end Echoes of the past follow me through life To remind me of much kinder times.

I'm afraid To say i miss you, To say that i care. To say that i love you, To say i'll be there. I'm afraid Of those who stand In our way, every day I'm afraid I can't give you The love that you pursue I'm afraid They'll destroy me And through me, destroy you.

I'm Afraid

I'm afraid To say i miss you, To say that i care. To say that i love you, To say i'll be there. I'm afraid Of those who stand In our way, every day I'm afraid I can't give you The love that you pursue I'm afraid They'll destroy me And through me, destroy you.

Abysmal eyes The telling disguise Of an unrefined Disarray of feelings. Here you despair For the bond we once shared It remains - In disrepair. oOo Your voiceless cut - Like knife through butter; Sharp, deliberate, clean. Tears welled in eyes Mouth a firm line (I still don't know what you mean) You are stubborn and strong (No, you're never wrong!) And you lack the sense to see. I never wanted to fear, Yet we are here - I ask now, how could this be? oOo You speak to me silence A voiceless, needless violence Silence! - It solves nil All hate - This way will never dissipate. Fouls years of love, ...do what you will

What do i see in you? I look beyond the lines. For there are few people, Whose smile reaches their eyes

Here you are - frozen in time. Here i have captured The warmth of your smile Lines speak experience, Framing ageless eyes. Your infectious radiance Tells me no lies. No joy is contained, No emotion forced. There is no need for restraint - No need for remorse. This moment will survive, Unspoiled by time and wear. Even after death arrives, You'll always be there.

We are candle and flame, In the darkness we burn bright; Fragile against the cold wind, But we'll burn through this night; Ask not of tomorrow, The wick is almost through; There is no time for such sorrow, Only for me and you.

The Candle

We are candle and flame, In the darkness we burn bright; Fragile against the cold wind, But we'll burn through this night; Ask not of tomorrow, The wick is almost through; There is no time for such sorrow, Only for me and you.

Never forgotten, Always in our hearts; Here it has been written, For those yet to depart. Kind words starve sorrow , Fills lives left hollow; Here to annul fears, And dry the fresh tears. Stone crumbles, and falls, Chipped away by wind and rain; Acceptance befalls, Where there was once so much pain; There are no more flowers, The past is left behind; Time and death devours, Even the strongest bonds unwind.

The Graveyard

Never forgotten, Always in our hearts; Here it has been written, For those yet to depart. Kind words starve sorrow , Fills lives left hollow; Here to annul fears, And dry the fresh tears. Stone crumbles, and falls, Chipped away by wind and rain; Acceptance befalls, Where there was once so much pain; There are no more flowers, The past is left behind; Time and death devours, Even the strongest bonds unwind.
