We have lived many centuries.
Are we powerless?
Not in the right mind?
Afraid of the future?
Of changing times?
The tide washing us away?
Darkness closing in?

We live to fight the dangers that lurk in the shadows.
Trust only those who deserve it.
We shall stand together.
The battles settled.
Moonlight shining the way.
Shall we prevail or admit defeat?
Guide our children for the better.
Us, together we will prevail.

There is      
a way.  
Shone bright,
shining way    
beyond my reach
in your eyes that  
I am unable to touch.
But I see        
that of which I am looking for.

Thou were warned,
how to be saved.
Empty hallways echo as the ****** scream through silent pleas.
Seldom escape this place.
Oblivious.
Unexpected.
Left behind.
Struck and burned.
Accused and forgotten.
Retort.
Entanglement.
Odors seep through the cracks.
Underground lies the truth.
Realm of the dead
Search and you will find.
Together or alone.
Open the door.
Key of the keep.
Embodiment of anger.
Extricate yourself if you dare.
Plagued by regret.

This'll be the death of me.
Never find the rest of me.
Another failed recipe.

No hope .

No destiny.

No desire.

Is this your happy ever after?
Or just the endless empty laughter?
Or just another disaster?
It'll be the same the chapter.

You'll be here,
And I'll just disappear.
You were never sincere.
I won't be near,
starting next year.

You wouldn't let go.
I couldn't say no.
I wanted you to know
that long ago.

I tried to run,
But you weren't done.
It had just begun.
You had your fun,
but I had none.

Wish I had never met you.
Cause now I have no clue
if anything you ever said was true.

You stole my pride
and forced me to hide.
You always lied
when I would not abide
Oh how I tried
but you wouldn't step aside
and drop the knife.

You were never wrong,
you always had to be right.
As you would tell me just one more night,
I always stayed in fright.
Wanting to go,
I just want you to know.
How much I wanted us to work
If only it didn't hurt.

But you lied.
You cheated.
That left me defeated.
I wouldn't mind it,
if you just didn't deny it.

I’m telling you,
this'll be the death of me.
Never find the rest of me.

Are you in pain today?
Wishing it could just go away?
Looking back at all the times it never went the right way.
Wondering if tomorrow or next week or next year will be any different.
Knowing it will be the same anyways.
Whittling away the days.
Withering away.
Waiting for the day.
That you can say you feel alive.
Having the weight off your shoulder.
Feeling a little less colder.
Letting your memories smolder.
And finally grow older.
Without regret looming over.
Maybe you can try again.
Its been awhile since then.

The rain falls gently down.
Hallows be the trees drown.
Entering the dark thicket.
Ricocheting sound across the fence picket.
Intertwined ivy strangles the plants.
Visions strangely enchant.
Empty woods cast a shadow.
Riveting lightning sets the trees ablaze.
Frolicking animals stop to gaze.
Lilacs show their beauty shallow.
Opening leaves bare teeth.
Whispering wind can be heard from beneath.
Silence henceforth ensues at dusk.
Blooming flowers once were, are now just a husk.
Lovers gaze upon thick trees unknowingly oblivious.
Over the hills, the valley below runs endlessly.
Often seen and forgotten it flows.
Devils prey on the one who knows.
