Flitting oh so lightly
A bird does sing its song
To anyone who listens,
But none have heard in so long
This bright and sweet tune
That shows a bird's own soul
Dripping with ****** sorrow,
While burning hot like a coal,
Smoldering into gray ash
That covers our minds, now blind,
Making us heavy in thought,
Turning on our own kind.

So as we fly like birds,
Forever discovering old skies,
I hope one day our world
Will depart from the same old lies.
I see myself bend
Failing in all eyes
Oh to flick to my end
I hide all this behind lies.

Forever working to impress
Yet never living right, to them.
Never adding feelings but stress
And making comments to condemn

Close friends try to comfort
But to help a lost cause
Is like suicide from the hurt
That you receive with no pause.

I wish I could continue
Through this glorified life,
But no longer, to myself, true,
I turn to this colorful knife.

Oh the shiny, bright colors
Forever mixing as one.
This flow slips my mood calmer.
A red river does now run.
Sometimes hope hides too deep...
This world is running 'round,
Further out of my control.
In everyone's tears, drowned.
Coursing in my blood, runs phenol.

Burning everywhere I go,
That poisonous mix pumps.
Seeping through icy veins so slow,
Making me a useless fleshy clump.

They see me running, screaming
****** ****** in this awful town.
With great force from within, beaming
These filthy lies in full meltdown.

Yet, no one sees my frightful scene.
How can they? I'm sitting alone.
This moment, so wretchingly serene.
Still, my life is coming unsewn.

I feel it laying down now,
My life, so quietly it snaps.
So regally it suffers, I must bow,
For this substance causes collapse.

Burning inside I smile, so small,
Thinking of the glorified cause.
I gave up, taking this horrified fall
And making it to life's last pause.
That smile, oh that smile,
Forever haunting my brain
That smile, oh that smile,
Marking me with it's glowing stain.

Willingly, I walk slowly,
Through torturous flames
Towards my goal, so daily,
Playing any wicked game.

That smile, oh that smile,
Worth any lasting pain.
That smile, oh that smile*,
Drives me utterly insane.

If you knew what that smile
Creeping up on your face
Does to make me stay awhile
In hopes, you, my arms will enlace.

That smile, oh that smile...
Every time I make you smile, my heart beats madly...
Your touch it burns
While your soul is cold
I can't run away for
Your touch keeps me here.

Frozen within.

As painful as it seems
I suffer now with glee
For you bring me joy
While destroying my essence.

Burning throughout.

I can't remember a time
When the world meant
What you mean to me
Yet you slow my thinking
With your icy words
And cold gestures of
Hateful love forever
Killing me.

Dying in this icy flame.

Once I knew you
And then you hid
From me so I could
No longer understand.

Darkness consumes.

Busting forth from
Your depths shines darkness.
Bright as a morning star
So as to blind me

Light hinders.

You wrap me up in
This bright ball of dark
That kills all things
That are meant to help
You in your journey
From one day to the next.

Murdered by your soul.
Balance kills quicker...
This feeling, so hot,
Coursing right through me.
I hope they simply rot
As their red sets me free.

I cut for the red.
Just crying for pain.
I'll wind up dead,
If not, past insane.

You helped me once,
Then forgot to stay near.
After all these months,
Why'd you leave me here?

Blue , now falling fast
Towards the never ending dark.
Trying to forget my past
As red and blue mix, so stark.

As I let these colors fall
On my soul's own abyss
From heights far too tall
No heart sees I'm amiss.

Forgotten, cold, alone I gasp
For air that left me too.
If only our hands would clasp,
You'd finally help me through.

Now the red is slow
And all blue is gone.
All since you went to go,
I've become a slaughtered fawn.

The colors are gathered
Across my body and floor,
In artwork to be treasured
By you forever more.

You missed me that day;
Came for something to do.
Seeing me made you sway
And from your eye, fell blue.
I have no idea...
Humanity is losing touch.
Humanity is gone.
This world is cruel, oh so much,
I wish it'd be redrawn.

Today, my life in ruins,
It crashes over stones
From my dam, removed by sins
Taken on by me alone.

As the water quickly sweeps
Past all I ever gained,
Wiping all I won for keeps;
Leaving the land worn and stained.

All is lost and forgot,
Now laying in a pool of rubble;
Leaving that for which I fought.
Guessing this world to be trouble.

And yet, can it be?
The water slowing to a trot?
Is there someone here for me?
Or am I truly left to rot?

A soft warmth enveloping
as they whispered my name,
my heartbeat wasn't dropping,
nor does it stay the same.

As the flow is cut,
I find the perfect place
to be, from the world, shut.
And know nothing, but that face.
Life rushed in and I lost everything. Then you built it back.
I'm drowned without you.
