You are the soul, that resides within the soul of my soul
You've pierced this once tormented heart
and I can finally let go
You are the heart, that resides within the heart of my heart
Merging into one collective heart and soul; Intertwining within the roots
I now so joyfully call home

The sun sets
along the horizon
my soul wept

The beauty of light
hasn't disappeared

Black as the night
As soon, the moon appears

The sun never stops shinning
It only melts into a different horizon

Don't let your eyes deceive you
For the sun is actually rising

The light of the day
shines through the night,
unto morning
The light always shines
through the black of night
The soul seeps into the eyes,
and finds the answers
waiting in hearts disguise

As of lately, I've been lost in translation
in this transcended state of thought
every thought running into one another
Impeding on the clarity of my perception
Leaving me in a state of panic
Searching for something slightly out of reach
As the needle threads the weave
My mind entangles the threads into
a mass insanity of run on sentences
Leaving me nothing but breathless
Left in a state of weak existence
Wrapped within the roots of the
stem of my thoughts and they
grow into shadows of monsters
trying to break free from the dark
but they cannot reach the other side
The light, it seems much too far
to carry on. This train wreck
of distortion is slowly seeping
into my soul. Deafening the
voices at my beck and call
A tragic winding road of
memories keeps bringing me
right back to the same place
I just left and now I'm right
back where I started again
A streaming flowing river of
never-ending thoughts
Always escaping me
Just there long enough
to hold on to a string of words
that hardly make any sense
Am I dreaming or is this death?
I cannot recall ever lying down
on that bed. Resting my head
where all those demons dwell
The lump in my throat fiercely swells
and the smoke filled coughs mask my cries
Repairs the dreadfulness of my daily life
I cannot escape this restless mind
It won't let me rest, it won't power down
The switch is broken and I've lost my crown
along with all the jewels I once possessively possessed
My mind is wandering somewhere
and I haven't a clue when It's due back

My heart turns to dust
All he left me was a picture
I can feel it when he's near
Shadows of his ghost
reflect on the wall
I turn around and he's
already lost in the crevices  of the paint
Tears roll down my face
For I've been left in this horrid place
He roams free above the skies
and the white fluffy clouds
I ask "please take me for a ride"
For all you've left me
was a picture and your pride.

This pain in my heart
continues to grow
I know, I know, I know
I can't let go
The pain of the past
continues to grow
Flashes of forgotten memories
surface once more
Everything I suppressed
has finally taken its toll
I can't live in the past
but the shadows creep up too fast
Their incredible mass
engulfs me, pulls me back
At last, I can't rid myself
of this terrifying lack
