softly-speaking
I can call you my sun But in my eyes, you shine brighter I can call you my air But you leave me breathless I can call you my prince But no prince could be as brave Thus I shall simply call you a dream For no such sublime being can exist A mere illusion appearing before me Yet I feel your warmth, Hear your charming laugh And those are the flashes of happiness That keep me going through the day And keep my sanity in check Maybe I'll just call you, you For nothing else would do justice.

You
The sun sets on the decisions made, Those that you were so proud of. Those that hade you happy. But your vision constantly changes. All you knew burns in flames, There in the horizon! Do you finally see what you’ve done? Does the luminosity of the moon make it clear? Or is her gravity tearing you apart? Either way all is set in stone. The clock’s chiming at last, And everything becomes permanent at midnight. As thousands stare at time with weary eyes, Tell me your sins and I’ll tell you mine.

Choose your sins wisely
Oh fulsome letter thou art meant for him Thy words speak mine lingering heart and thought Tell him of how mine stomach is in a knot Of how the warmth and light have become dim Sing the words with the heartbeat as a hymn In the midst of morn the storm I besought Life hath no reason without him, it cannot I shall wait and seek of love on the limb But love hath overmany puzzles now Perhaps he dost not wish to hear from ye Thau shall stay in my pocket evermore Tonight we will forget him, this I vow Henceforth only mine soul shalt wit my soft plea The wretched curse is lifted, named amór.

The lingering
Hello? Is anybody there? I just need a shadow to respond In order to let me know that I’m not crazy. And if it’s all a lie, at least ill have myself. At least ill have time by my side, Wrapping its arms, suffocating me in a bubble. It’s safe in here, Until the toxins build up, And the oxygen runs out, Then the flickering candle shall perish, Leaving me alone in the dark, With the same shadows.

The chains of security
Inside us is a monster Toying our every move. We keep it locked and tied With chains that are as strong as we feel. Secretly we want to set it free And see our creation destroy. Show the power that puts us on top The one that makes everybody else our slaves. It’s a nuclear weapon Destroying everything in its path. One that oozes black toxins And feeds on our energy. Consumes us from the inside, Until we are just another corpse on the battle ground.
