Roses are red,
Knives are of steel.

One rose for you.
As your lay there.

*In your pool of dreams...

Violets are blue,
Like tears on red cheeks.
Like sorrowful petals.
On a Violet peak.

Secrets of life,
Kept from brighter souls.
To keep them safe.

They don't understand,*
How I may feel.
That's okay.
Secrets are to be kept,
For a reason.

Unheard,
Unseen.

Nevermore, Nevermore.
Is that all you say?
Nevermore!

Stop it!
Nevermore...*
Foolish bird!
Cast thee away demon!

Far over the mountains,
Misty cold air.
Fogging the land,
That lies beyond.

Roaring war,
The men moaning.
As they fade.

Bloodshed,
Broken by the oath of many.
Elves, Dwarves alike.

Arrows fly,
As all.
Shall Fade..

To the edge of the night,
The shadows wisp.
Fading away.

Beyond the galaxy,*
Fading away.
Men of war.
Dying away...

No oxygen,
No relic of the living.
Becoming Undead.

Zombified.

Were you ever my friend, my lover
I feel you betrayed me
I'm confused,
Out of control
When I stay away from you, I become weak
When I'm with you, I become sick
I try to purge you, but you come back
Can we compromise? But how?
I can't seem to live with you
I can't live without you
But I'm not ready to leave you
Fear runs through my body, as it does every morning
I step on the silver metal device on the cold floor and wait
Only you know if it will be a good day
I watch the numbers roll by, like lemons on a slot machine
I'm your prisoner, my fate is in your hands
I look down slowly, as I hold my breath, the numbers stopped moving....
"99" displays brightly
I'm still in control!
I smile...  you did good, you did good
