Gone are the days
When life was a ride
And I just grinned
From the passengers side

Gone are the nights
When life was a dream
And I could follow
Someone else's scheme

Here are the weeks
When life is full force
And I have to push
Like battle worn horse

Here are the years
When life becomes death
And I gasp my last
Living my final breath
Just felt like rhyming. Dunno why that got so depressing but there ya go.
I bring you love and tenderness,
but,you say that I'm just like the rest.
My words you twist and second guess
My motives judge, my patience test.
'Til I'm unglued and bent with pain
and wonder if I'll go insane.

All this time I've loved you so,
and vats of tears now overflow.
Say white is black and black is white
Your vision's skewed and wrong seems right.
Your mirror's far too dark to see
that you're the one rejecting me.

I'd give my last breath, your life to save
Still you'd find fault with what I gave.
I need someone whose love is true,
I can't keep trying to rescue you.
Bare wastelands now where blossoms grew
I've nothing left -go start anew.

So spread your wings-be glad you're free
Be all the things you've longed to be.
I won't be there to weigh you down
Or keep your two feet on the ground.
And if you win,or if you lose,
I can't be blamed for loving you.

The reason I write is simple
Not for you, not for me
But for my mind
And my emotions

The reason I stopped is simple
Because of you, because of me.
My mind is numb
My emotions locked away

The reason I write is false
It is for you, it is for me
Not for my mind
Nor my emotions

The reason I sat down and wrote this
Isn't simple at all.
It's for me, not for you.
I wanted to remind myself of what I lost.

The reason I am here.
I'm here for you to judge and like
I'm here for you to judge and dislike.
Because we are humans

And that is why I write.
Just a simple poem.
Loosen the noose,  I'm ready to live
Unlock these chains I once begged you for
Collapse the walls I've had you build
Release the animal, it's tired of hiding
I'm ready to run
Headlong into the shadows
Away from the other one
I'll devour all I've withheld from
My crumbling spirit has decayed
Replaced by something raw
A ripened, dripping rage
And blood I will draw

Ready to show this true nature of mine
The dominant monster
A shiver up every spine
A nightmare unfostered
Beneath my heel you'll find
The weakest imposters

A vision of blackest beauty
I am everlasting insanity
Every demand followed
Every heart hollowed
Ecstatically

I'll make you crawl
I'll pull you down
You'll heed my call
I'll watch you drown

Well beyond the depths
And through our cores
I'll go to hell
Unlock all doors
Gather an army
Of oaths unsworn
My will unleashed
A chaotic force
