We failed to see the sunrise
We were blinded by the night
The beasts watched in splendor
But we cast our backs to the light

We watched as she descended
The day turned into dusk
We did not miss her mighty glow
We did not miss her touch

We longed for dawn but found only night
We wished to see but were failed by sight
We sought the day but avoided the light
We craved her glow but hid in the dark

Until one day we stopped our cries
and looked around to see
Free from all her penetrating eyes
Free from all her needs
Her light had failed to see us
and neither ourselves could we see

We fear to see the sunrise
Illumined by by her sight
In the dark we love to hide our deeds
We have learned to love our plight

Her radiant eyes will shine again
But we fear her gentle kiss
Dawn will bring about the light
And we are the darkness

I have told many a passerby
I have shouted it from the rooftop
I swore to myself today would be the day
That I act a man
Only to have my voice become weak
My mouth become dumb
Unable to speak
Mesmerized by your sight.
Terrifed by your sight.

Love is not a feeling.
But a drug.
With each thought pulling me deeper and deeper
into this addiction.
Until my mind is consumed by you.
Flooded with ecstasy
Yet lost from the thought of not having you

I say I will tell you
What lies in my heart.
But I know the truth is that tonight
Like all the nights before
Will be spent in solitude
Alone with you in my mind
With only myself to blame.
And
The only ones who will hear of my love
Once again
Are strangers in the night.

She is the gentle breeze on a summer day
She is the warmth of a fire on a winter night
She is a light in this darkness
She is an oasis in this desert.
She is the fire that now burns in my chest.
She is the air I breathe
She is beauty.
She is love.
She is life.

Winter has broken.
I feel the warmth of spring.
I watch as the world turns to green
Filling again with life.

Waiting for Her to return.

Take my hand
Feel the warmth flow through you
As my life fades away
Keeping you warm
Through the silent winter

There are no words
There is no sound
Only the whisper of my heart
Growing quiet
Growing cold
As the beating of your heart sounds like a trumpet
Glowing as bright as the moon
Although each day it grows more dim
My sun lights your way
Through the dark winter

Sit with me
Absorb this pleasant silence
Feel the vibrance of my love
Filling your empty soul
Leaving a shell in my heart
So that you may love again
And find another who will guide you
Through the lonely winter

Look into my eyes
They have become heavy
Grey from the cold
As yours shine with vibrance
Your night sky fills with light
As my stars fall to the Earth.

Although we are consumed by silence
Our souls speak
In words only we can understand
Although I grow weak
Take my soul
So that it may keep you company
Through the silent winter of our hearts.

Wake from your dream.

Depart that eternal isolation and open your eyes.

The world waits for you as you repeat your cycle .
"Come with me"
"I have much to show you"
He says as he shackles your feet to the ground
Trapped, you can only stare as the world turns to grey.
Mindless souls pass by as you cry out for help.
For they cannot hear you, consumed by their own cycle.
Indifferent to your lost soul.

She enters your sight in the distance.
An angel in this desolate place.
The world comes to life again.
As colors fill the evening sky

You beg him to unlock the shackles.
But just as quickly as she appears
she fades into the horizon.
Taking all the vibrancy of the world with her.
As this wasteland fades to darkness.

You grow weak.

Your eyes shut.

Pull her closer.
Embrace her in your arms.
Indulge in this love.
This blissful illusion.

Wishing it could last forever.

Watch as your shackles are removed
For this dream is better than the world.
This cruel world.
This indifferent world.
