the world is changing

the bird’s chirps sound more

beautiful

the sunsets look more

wonderful

the sun rise seems more

elegant

with you around

the world seems better

with you around

the light is brighter with  you around
the darkness doesn't scare me anymore

I could have spoken,
but I could not make a sound
These words, they gather,
but they all leave me behind
–
It wasn't the light
nor the darkness inside-
caging these demons,
I beg them to hide
–
You're just right beside,
but we're far far apart
You're pulling me through,
please save this withering heart!
– – –
Moments have passed
Now time's being wasted
Everything I knew
has finally fully faded
–
Raindrops stopped falling;
the well has run dry
I'll walk this path alone
and bid my last goodbye
–
I could have watched,
but my eyes looked away
Sorry for the fire
scorching your way

I guess this is where the freaks go

where the lights go down

and the show goes on

“ladies and gents”

said the man with the top hat

his face half in the shadows of the tent

he never showed his left side of his face.

he told the crowd to enjoy the show

and don’t go.

i never second thought his choice of words

only that i gave me the shivers

the spotlight hit the acts

everyone sitting in amazement

the end came slow

the horror in the air

no one spoke

no one moved

that is when i promised myself

i would never go to another freak show again
