Praises, whispered to a crowd bred of inanition.
Contempt, unspoken before now unleashed.
Heedless, death the punishment of such temerity.
Withdrawn, kneeling before the grey stone tomb.

A more solemn sight there may not be,

than that of tortured mind locked far away.

Shattered beyond all mortal repair,

and no one else can ever care.


Silent whispers and wicked lies,

torment alone in padded space.

Crawl beneath a wretched skin,

and shunned by even those your kin.


But not all who are so strayed,

are bereft of hope and prayers for change.

A shadow holds on tight and sought,

to make you all so fraught.


Imprisoned with no silver key,

and savage thoughts that none can share.

Alone and backed to the furthest wall,

you reek of desperation to prevent your fall,

but here’s your chance you may yet dare,

for who you never can be.

There’s a part of me you can’t abide,

but don’t mind me, I’m dead inside.

I’m cold, confused and alone,

left to wallow on my own.

You can keep on cutting

But I won’t feel a thing.

Let your knife sink in,

twist it round and go within.

Stab my heart,

I’ll fall apart.

Kick me to the ground,

there’s nowhere left to run around.

I can’t change myself for you,

there’s nothing left to do,

crush my life away,

It’s just another day.

How should I know that you care,
when you leave me all alone.
With no word of goodbye,
I’m just not worth your time at all.

You say you’re there for me,
I know that that’s not true.
I’m falling here, so helpless,
but you just don’t want to stay.

Why should I look up to you?
What have you ever done for me?
There’s no where left to turn and,
I know that you’re a fraud.

Your empty words can’t hurt,
no more than I could allow.
Don’t you dare come back
and whisper silent treachery.

I see you when I’m dreaming,
I hear your voice within my skull.
But I shall not be deceived,
No longer am I your man.

I am on to you deceiver,
and I will never be your slave.
It’s time to face the truth,
it could never have been you.

So you lay me here to die,
I know the age old plan.
you’ve watched me all these years,
and now I’m in your claws again.

Why don’t you show your face?
Why hide behind secrecy and lies?
I resisted for such a long time,
Despite the weaknesses of others.

But now you hand me total proof,
and maybe I should have believed.
But it’s all too late and all I crave,
is eternal lasting peace.
