Hidden once their calling
Vast forests old growth trees
Ancestors cloaks there wearing
Spirit voices echoing once free
But as time marching silently
Crossroad signposts passing by
Empty bookcases attract the dust
Corridoors traveled doors unlocked
Gazing skyward stars reviled
Clouds they veil horizons far
Full moon gently caresses the land
Mighty rivers flow to the sea
Gathered silent sandbanks wide
Flowers garland meadows long
Seasons changing as they should
Nature smiling in her chosen way

You're what I've dreamed of since I was 12.

Then the night falls, and the cold winds
blow your whispers away
try to catch just one, to savior in my head
but my hands froze instead
we tryed to compromise, a hardy give and take
there was no middle, just the divide you made

the restlees heart , you posses
that passion won't rest
till the colors of your portrait is set
and you rise above the rest

such a burden, you've endured
leave us now, leave us later
twisting in the wind of your mind
you have no cure, uncertaintly for sure

so have another taste, sip another sip
don't be afraid to blink, its not yours to
think of what you might have missed
the past you've already dismissed

Feel the bite of silver against your skin
You've welcomed back the steel again
Relapse
feel the sting of alcohol down your throat
Forget your pain as you begin to float
Relapse
You tried to run for so long
But you couldn't stay so strong
Relapse

Creeping in the crannies of every corner
Slowly casting its shadow onto me
Taking control in every aspect
A self doubt holds onto the reins of my life
Refusing to let me be me
Forming a shell around what was me
It is my enemy and yet it fools me into friendship
Either I will realize that we are enemies
Or I will be stuck in the seductive trance of a friend

kindly forgive me

but i seem to have misplaced my

mind.

            maybe to planet mars, or,

                                   is it buried    in   the   park?

i feel like i might be going    insane

and everything is a  blur

and i    didn’t mean to

            disappear.

it happens to me every time

i just

      get tired

and  i  slink  away  to  be  by  myself

it isn’t easy

i didn’t mean to    go so soon

i just   don’t know how i can speak to you after i left off on such

     cruel terms

and i am so very sorry

i never intended on hurting you
