Drinking it as the sun goes down
And as the moon comes up
I dare sleep to attack me
But if he misses his shot...
Unknown Mar 2014
This affliction that I feel
This pain is so unreal
In front of you I kneel
My skin begins to peel

With every breath I steal
Another death I reel
From behind a broken shield
The only voice I yield

A silent understanding
My love to you I'm handing
It's my heart your eyes are branding
I brace for heavy landing

Breaths are taken
Faith is shaken
Words mistaken
Sight forsaken

Silent screaming
Ears are bleeding
Tears are streaming
Heart stopped beating

Soul beneath you
Hands stretched skyward
I beseech you
Please hear my word

Now
I'm calling out again
Reaching for a friend
Beginnings have an end
Calling out again

Time slowly spent
Another twist and bend
Calling out again
Calling out again

Lift me from this hell
Body is a shell
Standing where you fell
So much I could tell

Wish that you could know
Heart became a stone
Wish that I could show
Standing here alone

From your broken voice
Just another word
Do you have a choice
Speak and you are heard

Show me that you care
Lay my mind to rest
Lonely, naked, bare
Raise my fallen crest

Calling out again
Calling out again
Reaching for a friend
Calling out again
R.I.P.

"So I hope you got the paper
updates on our directions
We'll be battling a bit later
Later than we expected

I guess we won't be home
For Halloween or Christmas
We'll celebrate alone
No family here with us

But don't worry about your sons
We'll surely be okay
Normandy can't be that bad
They're calling it D-Day"

I've taken a life
And it kills me inside
I still see her face in my mind
Those eyes

She's haunting my dreams
She won't leave me it seems
And she's pointing a finger at me
Blame me

I ask her to stay
But she's turning away
As the world around me turns to gray
She fades

Away

Please, stop holding on to me
Stop gazing at me with sad eyes
Stop pulling me back

I have been coddled far too long
And my experiences
Have given me wings

So I can fly on my own now
And I am afraid of no amount
Of descent

Please, look at me no longer
With the feelings of pity
With the sympathy

Because I do not need it
Any longer

Please, just let me go
I have the strength now

I can make my own decisions

I have a small sense of
Self preservation
And I intend

To shape it
Into a tool

Please

Let me go

Rain on me
Like you did before
I welcome the seas
And the rushing shore

Shine on me
Warm my skin
I welcome the heat
Of the fire within

******* away
I do not care
I welcome the sway
Of the open air
Unknown Mar 2014
A symphony
Beckoning me into
Its melodic embrace
A crook of the strumming finger

Chords reverberating
Through my heart
And complexity is lost

Because love plays
A simple tune
