Darkness, madness, fiery ligth
in the depths of my eye.
In the dark pits of my mind,
resides one desire I can't satisfy.

At last the storm does start.
No more this fire I can confine,
violently taking over my heart.
I hear one whisper that isn't mine.

Voices that talk from behind,
the silence gets broken.
My unconsccious mind
at last let's the doors open.
You are warmth and peace
On a frigid winter day
Like rays of sunlight
Thawing my raw and numbed skin
Please don’t hide behind the clouds
I miss you most when you are near me,
Since I once knew you but not anymore.
Since “we” can no longer be,
I miss you most when you are near me.
If only my heart would let me be free,
I could move on. My life, restore.
I miss you most when you are near me,
Since I once knew you but not anymore.

i no longer get drunk under the sun
in public parks where children play
talk to girls who get on their knees for fun
and fight boys who are more broken than me
i grew up in a city
with too many faces
for any one person to stand out
you grew among fields
and still to this day
i'm tortured searching for your face in the crowd
I try to fit in, try to be what people want me to be
Smile and laugh, telling everyone I'm happy
What they don't see, makes me think they're bind
How could someone think that I would be fine
I'm not happy, I'm sad and alone, trying to face the world on my own
I can't be myself around anyone I see
They'll never know the person I want to be

You entered my life as a friend
And will leave as a foe...
Because friends once in love
Can't be friends. So—

I'll start again, and meet someone new.
An old way to distract,
from the foe I once knew.
Yet you'll always be there,
Distant, from me.
Until you realize
I'm the piece you need.
I will never meet another's arms I fit in so well. That, that alone, I will miss.
She's losing hope, she had lost her way
Every path that she takes turns
dark with a shade of grey
It seems like everyone she knew
never stayed, left words unsaid
Her heart just sank to the thought
of how easily she was forgotten
Somehow all the promises they made
meant nothing but to be broken
People who once she knew
were now strangers
Were they the ones who had changed
or was it her who pushed them away?
She's no longer capable of trusting anyone
because the person that she once trusted
betrayed her, she was bitterly gutted
The only person left to trust is herself
but the dark soul inside her
kept on whispering bad things
telling her she's no longer needed
that she's not worth it
and she was just a big mistake instead
Constant battles with her mind every day
the nights were the worst
she was always wide awake
Trying her best to make the thoughts stop
the pain she felt was unbearable no doubt
She was alone, no one to care for her feelings
It's better that she's gone maybe then they will notice
She found a way to make her problems disappear
and on the last day, she said
her goodbyes to the ones she loved
That night sat a broken angel waiting to be rescued
then she said farewell and away she flew

Everybody's laughing loudly
I cannot even smile
losing my ability to pretend.
How the tears badly wanted to flow
out of me, a sob forming
a cry for help
falling continuously.
"I can't do this anymore,"
I screamed softly.

In the end
I chose to stay
but barely existing.
Can't focus on my lessons with these words forming inside my head.
Many lives many pasts
Many girls many romances

Many broken hearts
Many broken dreams
Many broken promises flowing down with the stream

Many fake people
Many fake smiles
Fly with me let's reach the sweet paradise

Do you think you know what life is about?
Please help me understand

Because a long time ago i chose to close my eyes and wait for my death

Life is an illusion though it seems real

All what really matters is our dreams and fantasies


Words Of Harfouchism
Sara not so plain and not so tall
Daydreaming in the shopping mall
As blond as a summer day
Speaking of herself in a peculiar way:

"I'm pretty, yes, but I wish to be better;
To be the admiration of a love letter."

But her beauty is the kind that lasts
And makes your heart beat especially fast.
Finland born but London found,
Lovely, sure, but greatness bound.

And the nights grow more tiresome,
as her chest beats a tattered drum.
Her mood too dreary for speckled eyes
that will dim if night blurs into sunrise.

"Sleep why do you run from me,
as my memories grow.
Eyelids, be a blanket,
And melatonin, a pillow."

Victoria Lucas in her head,
as the bell does ring until fed
by the words that sound soft to us
but are actually strong and thus
she is misunderstood-lips are red-
Like Greenwood inspired, kissed dread:
She can save herself before jarred,
Before feathered, before tarred.

And it is my faith that lets me know,
That her happiness will one day grow
Because Sara not so plain and not so tall
Is the strongest of them all
For the lovely Sara Murray.
