O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue
To drown the throat of war! - When the senses
Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness
Who can stand? When the souls of the oppressed

Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance
Drive the nations together, who can stand?

When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
And fiends of Hell rejoice upon the stain.

O who can stand? O who hath caused this?
O who can answer at the throne of God?
The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it!

The very last time I saw your eyes
You were begging me not to walk away
But I never did listen too well
And I never knew what to say

Wasted breath, forgotten time
I live in the dark I was never a bright light
I never knew how to love
And long ago I lost the will to fight

I lied to myself for so long
I forgot what's right and clung to what was wrong
Now here I am with my own heart
I knew it would end here from the start

I'll never tell you that I love you
It isn't something that I can do
I'll strum you a song in the dark
As I wish I hadn't fallen apart

Trapped inside my mind, I’ve been a prisoner all this time
Our faces are made of glass and none of the reflections are mine
And we’re still living our lives as I watch the echoes of our dreams
Shatter against the mountains of our will
Nothing is ever as it seems
We all hide from our dreams

What am I
Try as I might
I cannot find where they left the light

Faces painted black and white but all the colors bleed
We’re having a masquerade won’t you come and see
All the pretty masks they hide what we can’t understand
They hide the monsters inside from all we have planned
We are never as we seem
We will always hide from our dreams

What am I
Try as I might
I cannot find where they left the light
I will paint my face black and white
As I watch the colors bleed into me

born of love, shaped by pain
reflecting eons of untold dreams
reach out to the looking glass
what is on the other side
stretched out my arms to touch,
for there i saw everything i am,
and there was the beautiful me that i forever missed
wished the silver shattered,
no longer could i stay incomplete,
prayed i, please lets dissolve
tentatively hands touch the glass
intrigued having never seen my true reflection
realizing there is nothing to fear
within the mirror does a true beauty hold
if only the glass would liquefy
let me pass through to the other realm
inhaled me in, devoured me,
from the both sides; as I leaned my numb self to,
the silver pool of heartless honesty,
swam I, closer towards my reflection,
walked into an embrace,
lifting ourselves into a new reality,
dissolving step within the liquid i did
finding the answer to my unknown half
reflection becoming an untold story
of ourselves trapped in dreamland
a dream that is our made reality
hand in hand we strode,
in our hearts was born a new light,
thanking the force that is pain
that led us to one another
holding each other close,
bound together with unleashed love,
we traversed through the verses of our dreams
succumbed to the reflection
no longer a mirrors image
what was once a lone pond
evolved to a deep ocean
the ocean of love and undying passion,
from which we imbibed back our lost dreams,
quenching our soul's thirst,
celebrating the wonderland life is...

Here at last, the end of a long journey
The road I have sought is finally found
I have found what my heart has been yearning
At last I'm free from pain with which I'm bound

I'm living in a dream, no way it's true
I have finally let go of the past
Let's pick up my life, pieces lay askew
I have found the final piece, place it last

You are finally gone, I can move on
Sorry it makes me happy, this is life
Please don't be upset, I've always been gone
It is your turn to feel this pain and strife

Forget about the past, it is now done
I can now rest in peace, go have your fun

I'm a murderer
Did you know?
I would tell you
Confession
But the guilt is too much
What would you think?
I know what I think
Young
Stupid
Naive
Selfish
SELFISH
I tend not to think of it
When I do, murderer
What would the life have been
I stole away
Murderer I am

I
      planted  
                 the
                       seed

*Blossoming into a deadly poison vine

So used to being alone
afraid not to be
it is part of me now
how does one step outside
peer through a darkened veil
one that has so long clouded their vision
fear striking every part of their being
for stepping outside this veil can be painful
giving yourself over completely
for the world to tear you to pieces
is that so wise a decision
or shall I continue to hide and trust
in the loneliness that has made me who I am
dark, comforting, yet painful
I know it so well
my oldest friend, loneliness
you have become a part of my soul
*what would it be to lose you

I wish to become my poetry
Endless thoughts on paper
Lost in time
Forever seen
For then I can never truly die

Though I've never held your hand, I miss feeling your fingers entwined in mine
I have never felt your embrace yet I miss the warmth of your heart against mine
I have yet to hear your laugh yet I miss its music in my ears
I've never had the chance bury my face into your neck but I miss the way you smell
I wish to run my hands through your hair because I miss how it feels coupled with the softness of your cheek when I hold your face in my hands
Though I have never been able to glimpse your eyes I miss the warmth emanating from your soul
I miss your voice, which echoes in my mind day by day
And I miss your smile as it lights up the night sky
I miss you though I've never seen you

I'm constantly trying to change for you
Yet no matter what I do, it's not right
I have tried every route, nothing will do
Ways to appease you are long out of sight

I do not want to hurt you so I stay
But, if I stay it will slowly **** me
Someday maybe you'll change, Oh God I pray
Someday you won't be so cold, you will see

The mask I'm wearing is cracking slowly
People see what lies beneath, it's empty
Eyes stare in darkly, mine stare out coldly
Loneliness I feel, driving me crazy

All I am asking is to understand
Why do I feel like this, I need God's hand

Nightmares bring forth my minds deepest worries
They unleash unknown evil I want not
Dark demons,  an evil creature scurries
A beasts breath is on me and it burns hot

As I feel myself sink into dreamland
Terrors in the night wake and walk about
Afraid evil will touch me with its hand
I feel fear well up and I start to shout

Weight of emptiness crushing me to tears
A shadow of death looks down so vivid
Lurid evil feeds on my minds worst fears
A sharp faced demon bares teeth so livid

As I slowly begin to awaken
I see relieved, my life isn't taken

Oh wily
and would a stab to ****** be a lie
and no fool
wicked, twisted in deceit
a weak little lamb to defile
nay, would not a lamb know folly
after years of observation
no fool I say
when tears fall down like rain
knowing the truth
not an object
not anymore
never again
to give light to treachery
and the raindrops still fall
knowing what is needed
is so far away
when wily coyote attempts to play on trickery
but no fool, no fool

I had a dream last night
you were lying next to me
the look on your face was so serene
as if the world weren't crashing down on us

and my world is falling apart
every time I open my eyes
I see the truth behind these lies
no more dreams
you're forever asleep

Like any dream I had to wake
all the colors start to fade away
I can no longer see your face
The nightmares come and bring decay

and my world is falling apart
every time I open my eyes
I see the truth behind these lies
no more dreams
you're forever asleep

my dreams are made of deceit
they tell me you're here with me
but when I open my eyes
you're not dreaming anymore
you're not laughing anymore
you're forever asleep

I do not know what it was
and I am usually passive
but when my mirror is cracked
I will be an uncaged, feral dog

reaching towards my reflection
       my embrace
             cannot
                  extend
                       far
                          enough
