I have been mistaken for quite sometime now-- I do not need you to release me with the truth; Only I have the power to do that. I have forged these chains of ignorance with passion; Blinded by solemnity I hopelessly waited for you to rescue me. How foolish, for only I hold that key-- As it should be. So I will say my "goodbye" once more And shut the door because I am strong enough to And these chains will be vanquished by my own heart, mind and soul.

Breakthrough
The broken hearted weep while the other side sleeps in freedom from the tangling of heart-strings When will your heart go amiss; And mine reach its' freedoms bliss?

The Second Half
If I died tomorrow, would you have loved me yesterday?

A question never answered.
As you kick me out your house to leave I do concede These feelings that I plead For you My heart still bleeds For you But whether you understand or care Is neither here nor there I simply breathe air For you An unrequited affair For you These words are conglomerated Only confusion is created Cognitions translated For you Feelings inflated For you A bleak misunderstanding A fatal crash-landing But feelings expanding For you Notwithstanding For you Despite this bitter fate These feelings won’t abate I will stand by and wait For you In a terrible state For you

For you.
Flowing words do not beat as the rhythm of my heart For they are scarce and hard to come by; Though quiet it seems it beats in rapid succession At times in silent discontent, in chaos caused by my own façade; The ironic cadence becomes unbearable And with each-- sounding-- beat-- I become weaker, and weaker. Yet, I stay in silence all too afraid to scream and disturb the peace Though I compromise my own. So in vain I sit in hope someone will hear the stillness which rings in my ears. My façade is all too great an impenetrable burden of my own creation It is this harsh and succinct rhythmic tone which is my demise I am trapped trapped in structured synchrony for the appearance of calm And I cannot quiet my heart and release For I am utterly scared of the consequence So I turn to you as I fall from pressure. You manage to calm my quiet, discontented heart As no one has before; The sound is bearable-- the beat has returned; soothing and calm Your eyes announce there is nothing wrong; there is nothing wrong; It will resolve-- and it has A better song stays in my Heart.

Façade
Upon these shattered lights she treads, Alas, her beauty was not dead. She feigned for sleep but could not die, For only love did catch her eyes. Up in the sky she withered well, Within her eyes the tears did swell And in her tears the past was shown. Of one true love that she had known. The tears that formed did stain the glass, Beauty if bred from pain at last" She closed her eyes in hope for more, "It is your heart I do adore."

Shattered
Less eloquent but all the same; Your words and heart are not in vain. The lyrics that you do express, My ears and heart they do caress. I've never smiled so much before; The cause of which I do adore; Your eyes, your smile, your gentle gaze; Each time I breathe I am amazed That you and I do feel the same Together we shall toss the grains Into the sea, that grand abyss; For fear and doubt should not exist. As salt dissolves into the sea; We sea the truth of what can be.

Response
A night of disappointments. Exasperations and constant reminders of what could have been. Why can't Happiness embrace me for a single moment without Regret seeping in from the sides? His cold and spindly fingers eventually seize me; and I am unmoved by the sweet sounds and encounters of Joy; He tries so hard to move me, yet, to no avail. The warm and comfort of his presence goes unnoticed, for Sadness enters after I have been raptured by Regret. As I sit, crying Sadness softly sits besides me; he whispers, "just let go; nothing will be resolved, just let go." I listen, his beckoning words, the moroseness, in his voice is convincing and enticing. Happiness, and Joy are no match for his song. This ballad of sorrowful peace; stories with no happiness ever after.

Regret's Song
If we live in constant fear We cannot live at all. The only strength we find within Is the will to fight on; To chase our dreams Knowing there is an end. Lo, we cannot--must not Fear this end But must revel in it-- For we have never been through it before. Fear not in it, But take comfort in knowing The unknown is Just Beyond.

To the Finish
I cannot explain the dread I feel when you look at me with those eyes. As if I had failed. Your admonished stare pounds me and my heart sinks with the pressure. The sheer weight of it all; No normal person could thrive (let alone, survive). The knot in my throat, stomach and mind is impossibly taught. Impossible. That's all it is. It is impossible for me to function knowing I failed you.
