People can change
For the better
Or for worse
And I know this for certain
Because I lost a friend

The others don't blame me
We did our best
Trying to bring him home
But our promises were all made void

She believed in me
Said I was the only one
Who could save him from himself
But I am not wiser or stronger
Because I lost a friend

He laughs and he mocks me
For the friendship I believed in
The one he betrayed
And inside I am wounded deeply
Because we lost a friend

People don't always become a better person when they change, and sometimes there isn't really anything you can't do to get them back.

The World Went Dark at Midnight

The world went dark at midnight.

Fires gave one last valiant roar and died away.

Candles sputtered and drowned in their pools of wax.

Lanterns flickered and fell into an eternal sleep.

And the moon itself turned black
and came crashing down;
as the stars drifted away
abandoning us here.

The end of the world was at midnight.

Glass

I do not
think that I
was meant
to break away

For now
My thoughts are scattered
and
shattered
like shards of
glass

I
do not know when
I will find
a light
or a hope
for me
in this darkness
that drowns
me

I do not
think that I
was meant
to break away

For now I
cannot sleep
I have
no
identity

I am
broken
and forgotten
crushed underfoot
by the
masses
like
shattered glass

We are made of the finest spun glass, just waiting to be shattered.

True Heroes

Everyone here is smiling,
We've just saved the day.
We all cheer and pat each other on the back,
Why shouldn't We?
We've just saved the world again.

Inside I am screaming,
They have just killed my heart.
My shoulders are shaking and my eyes stream tears,
Why shouldn't they?
They've just destroyed my only hope again.

Our heroes descend with flying colors,
They've just saved the day.
We all shout with joy as they take a lap of victory,
Why shouldn't they?
They've just saved the world again.

I pick up the pieces now,
I have to try again somehow.
Though my heart shudders and my hands
My hands, they won't stop trembling,
And why shouldn't they?
They've just conquered the world again,
And all know me as the villain.

I will try to save the world again,
****** it from their illusions.
But what good is a single hero,
*When all know me as the villain.

Not all is as it appears.

The Song Of Lovers

If there was a song in this world so melodious
So sweet
So beautiful

That it was the anthem of lovers
Of sweethearts
Of beloveds

And I sang it to you so tenderly
So vibrantly
So lovingly

Would you love me back so truly
So unconditionally
So faithfully

Just as I do to you, my love, so wonderful
So fantastical
So undeniable

And would you so graciously
So honestly
So astonishingly

Accept me into your arms so humbly
So loyally
So admirably

As you are the only one so dear
So adored
So cherished

And as I would lay in your arms of warmth
Of gentleness
Of love

I would sing that song of romance
Of care
Of devotion

Because our love would be so boundless
So limitless
So Marvelous

So, would you care for a song my love?

Cold December Eve

There's a lot I haven't said,
This cold December eve
There's a lot that you don't know,
This cold December Eve
There's a lot of things I wish I hadn't done,
This cold December Eve

There's a lot I want to tell you,
This cold December eve
There's a lot of things I wish you knew,
This cold December eve
There's a lot I still must do,
On this cold Christmas Eve

But you're the only one that I'll hold close,
On this cold Christmas Eve

So Merry Christmas my love,
On this cold December Eve
