This season is for unity,
A time of hope and light,
When all the world forgives the wrong,
As day gives way to night.

This season is for charity,
A time of love and life,
When all the world sings in one voice,
And prays to end all strife.

This season is for family,
A time of joy and cheer,
When all the world is one with love,
As we close out the year.

This cloud of words hangs over me,
Each one a bitter memory,
Their dark embrace all I can see,
A cold unbroken symphony.

This sea of words that swallows me,
Each one a glimpse of destiny,
Their venom-soaked monotony,
Repeating for eternity.

This swarm of words engulfs my soul,
Each one a sting of lost control,
Their poisoned blades on dark patrol,
Collecting on their ****** toll.

This web of words within my mind,
Each one a glimpse of days behind,
Their light not for one of my kind.
A happiness I'll never find.

This storm of words from dreams unknown,
Each one a love where hate has grown,
Their force and wrath so quickly shown,
Will leave me some day on my own.

We spend our days in motion,
    Lost in a haze of chores,
    Forever racing forward,
    Just counting up the scores.

    We count down every moment,
    Like time is running out,
    Forever surging forward,
    No time for any doubt.

    We know our days are numbered,
    Life won’t hold the attack
    Forever facing forward,
    There is no turning back.

    We hoard each precious second,
    Long hoping for a break,
    Forever marching forward,
    With each new step we take.

His eyes will take your breath away,
They'll beg you to give in and play,
To come with him to worlds unknown,
For pleasure like you've not been shown.

His voice will melt your frozen heart,
Then rip all arguments apart,
To force your will to bend and break,
And give him all that he can take.

His kiss will drain your soul bone dry,
Consuming every truth and lie,
Absorbing all your fear and pain,
To set your true self free again.

His skin will burn your gentle touch,
And drive you wild each time you clutch,
Enslaving you to his commands,
To give in to all he demands.

The mask I wear today will be my face for all to see,
The smiles that I show will cover up the real me,
The sorrow and despair I feel will never be revealed,
The truth that I can never speak shall ever be concealed.

The mask I wear today is not the same as yesterday,
The secrets that it hid were not so hard to keep away,
The worry and the shame I feel were not what I had planned,
The truth that eats away at me much more than I can stand.

The mask I wear today will not be the last I don,
The scars that it protects will never heal as time goes on,
The horror and the fear I feel will follow where I roam,
The truth that overshadows me is all I can call home.

The mask I wear today is the only me that you could know,
The face that lies beneath holds nothing that I'd want to show,
The cold and dark I feel will stay forever in these lines,
The truth that each one holds is what this bleeding ink confines.

I've walked alone on this old dirt road,
Far from my hopes & the dreams that I've sold,
To find a place that I can call my home,
Far from the lies that I have been told.

I've walked a line that no one else could,
Far from the eyes that watch all I do,
To find a realm removed from this world,
Far from the life that was me and you.

I've walked for miles on this old dirt road,
Far from the hate & the fighting of old,
To find a dream that I pray to keep,
Far from the bed that you left so cold.

I've walked for days just searching for me,
Far from the smiles & those tears cried in vain,
To find a heart that I can trade for mine,
Far from your words and the grip of your pain.

I've walked this life to the beat of my heart,
Far from the secrets and horrors I've seen,
To find a moment of peace in the light,
Far from the darkness of all that has been.

I've walked this way to the end of my days,
Far from the people that think my soul strange,
To find a way back to where hope was lost,
Far from the thoughts of a world I can't change

There was a brighter time before,
A light that shone from sea to shore,
Two pairs of hands entwined in love,
Two souls made one by gods above.

The years could have been much kinder,
We've not needed a reminder,
Two faces looking in the mirror,
Two souls joined through thick and thinner.


Our hearts may still be broken,
Yet love has been awoken,
So we'll walk this road together,
From now until forever.


There was a darker time back then,
A night we thought might never end,
Two pairs of eyes that cried in vain,
Two souls locked in the grip of pain.

The sun shone through the fog of war,
We saw the light and so much more,
Two distant minds brought back as one,
Two souls that chose to stand not run.


Our hearts may still be broken,
But take this as a token,
That we'll stay like this together,
From now until forever.


There may be dark days still to come,
A time where dreams will come undone,
Two pairs of feet that want to flee,
Two lives that long to be set free.

The bond we share will pass each test,
We'll put all doubts and fears to rest,
Two candles that will ever burn,
Two lives that follow what they learn.


Our hearts may still be broken,
Through all that we have spoken,
But we'll keep this up together,
From now until forever.


There may be brighter moments still,
A fantasy we'll both fulfil,
Two pairs of ears that heed the call,
Two souls willing to risk it all.

The life we lead is but the start,
We'll learn to fix each broken heart,
Two lives meant to be joined as one,
Two souls walking towards the sun.

*
Our hearts may still be broken,
But please don't think I'm joking,
I know we'll still be together,
From now until forever.
