A lifetime isn't forever
but the passing of time so short and insignificant
the world will never catch a glance at such beauty,
at such beauty as yours.
Until the darkening days from which you fall
from the heavenly arches
the place where we used to call home.
Let us hope for an idea to unravel ourselves
from the bindings of our own decay
This time, we won't look back,
This time, I won’t let you down
I will find a way to outlive a lifetime.
Tainted eyes
Blinded by others judgement
We can’t ever find ourselves.
Lives and novels,
Deaths and songs,
The telling of our stories to the children.
What is truth when all we are,
Are fragments of pictures trapped together?
You are my open heart
A black page to which I write
I love you.
The world falls apart
To the sound of burning,
You arrive from above
With such beauty you strike the earth
Hold me close dear,
For the ground is falling from beneath us.

Staring at all the reflections in your eyes
Exploding in the darkness.
I watch the dying stars passing by
Hoping something special is
Shining back at me.
Silhouettes of giants falling
As heavy as my heart
Weighing down my conscience
A reckless choice, spins through my head
In wonder and awe,
I'll see through young eyes,
What was meant.
Dragged out a million miles
Out from where it feels most
It's a long journey back,
When the line that follows
My heart has been cut short.

Do you know where I am?
I'm holding on for dear life
And I can't see a way out.
Your storms of sorrow
Block out all hours of daylight
You stand alone
The world holding you down
I gasp for air trying to save you
But I'm losing the strength
To pull you free
My touch glances' your cheek
Yet you can't feel my love
So close to your warmth
The cold bites my finger tips
I'm losing a battle
To win you from all obscurity
We're lost in here together,
Between two continents
Sailing oceans far from home
Stars that used to guide you to safety
Now fail in the dim light.
I can't find a way
To get to you
To see this through
I've lost my faith
Drowning in your distress
Trapped within this shipwreck

Tied down to my mistakes
A worn path never re-grows it seeds
My emotions like wild flowers
Skirt along the edge in light
Gently swaying in summer breeze
I watch the clouds pass by
A moment captured, then released
I run, across green green grass
Down different roads past carvings on tress
Mend broken bridges
That led us to golden beaches and start again.
But your eyes hold me to this path
Your heart guides me through this pain
And I can only follow the trail
Of your memories for so long
And time will let me stumble on my own
To find a clearer path to travel,
To find a life without you.

Here, in a field of light
I shall lie alone.
And if you ever need me
If you ever lose your way
You can always find me
In this ocean of time,
Where your dreams
And realities collide.
You stand in a place
Where time never stops
The past is forever moving
And you try to remember
But the image is too vague
Washed over by the tides
Of your ever expanding sea
And I have all the memories
Reflecting in my eyes
Playing over, and over
Over, and over and they will never cease.
It's in those lines that lies the truth
A promise I can not make.
And as time continues to unfold
I will fade from your memories
Travelling short of the pace
You will leave me behind.

I'm trapped with all the others
In a vast dying meadow
We'll sway together
Unable to stop ourselves
From wilting in darkness.
The chill in the air
Helps me stay calm
In the company of wolves
I feel no warmth
Only the delicate touch
Of something I've felt before.
I find comfort in
The traitors who hold my heart,
No-one else to hear my cries
Amongst the wolves
I'm all alone.
Fake words and meanings
Lies that please my feelings.
I'll trust and obey
With everything I have
Just to be accepted, just to have
Someone.

I am regret,
The sentiment exposed through your bare eyes.
Raw and passionate it resonates throughout the air around us,
Expanding its ever indistinct presence gently upon your shoulders.
Where you feel,
I feel.
What you see,
I see.
And we fall into depths
Thousands of thoughts profound
Subtleties turmoil constant
Sharp movement’s progress
Further and further
Intensity grows
Like the weight of regret

We ran from forest to cliff edge
From cities through fields
To where we stood now breathless.
Your eyes caught mine, such sorrow
I saw beneath the reflections
The moonlight cast the tree’s its shadows
Drifting with the wind intertwined.
We followed the light of the east coast harbour
And sought salvation in the stars
Can it ever be ours? The choices and decisions?
Are we all but just who we are
Made from the opinions and thoughts of
Everyone who surrounds us?
Our friends are all we are worth
Worth nothing without them
And I knew you needed this
To escape from what you had built
To get away from all that you knew.
And its only pride that has got you this far alone
But it can’t stay like this forever
We all fall to our knees
In search of something greater
We all lose sight of where we’re going.
You left the world behind and I followed
In the search for who we were
We found each other’s hands in the darkest of lands
And we travelled back towards our friends
To the place where our eyes and hearts called home

Out of sync with time falling backwards
Pieces of me fragment towards home.
Time effortlessly cascades over existence
Like water over small pebble stones,
On shallow banks of lost hope.
Shards of dignity escape me
Breaking apart my very essence.
I wait silently in sleepless grandeur
Re-living moments of memory
The sun in all its warmth and glory
Basks upon your perfection,
Yet it's nothing more than recollection
Jaded time worn frames of thought
Instinctively played by design.
I look to sepia polaroid's of dying hope
A realisation of futility
Sparks the world to collapse in on itself
My heart, a beautiful glass construct lies at centre,
Memories, emotion, time merge into one
Compressing all that remains into a single shining pearl
A light so intense it burns endlessly
In hopeless desire to find you again.
