I'm the name that you mutter
Under your breath
I'm the life that you save
I'm the cheating of death
I'm the sand in your sandals
I'm the crook in your neck
I'm the paupers last glimpse
of the riches he left
I'm your apple branches
I'm your falling grace
I'm the belonging you lost
that you swore to replace.
I'm the windows clear picture
I'm your obstructed view
I'm the priest and the choir
the steeple, the pew
i'm the one you left empty
with nothing to hold
But lust and regrets
and they're all growing old
I'm the one you wanted,
the one you forgot,
I'm the one that you'll think of,
when you gavotte.
I'm your absolute zero,
i'm the one you'll compare
I'm the one you left broken.,
beyond disrepair
I'm the one you left burning,
on your simple stove
I'm the one that you see
when you're eyelids are closed

Pain is there,
hate is there,
but i can't find happy anywhere.

Maybe he's in the windowsill
Maybe he's under that dollar bill
Maybe he's been torn apart
like the pieces that fall from
a broken heart.

Maybe's he's hidden in the sky,
Maybe he's our only reason why.
Maybe he's fallen into a pit,
Where history shows there's no proof of it.

Maybe he's been here the entire time,
But only appears in the right state of mind.

One cold hard winter in the heart of France
A place of peace and sweet romance
Back ago, some centuries,
In the white of fog and snow flurries
Comes a tale I know to be true,
Of a heartless beast they called Courtaud.

He came from the woods with his hellish call,
Passed through the forgotten desolate wall,
And marched with his pack and a taste for blood
through the pivot blanc and the icy mud.
And bless any soul that they came upon,
For réduit à l'essentiel,
then they'd be gone.

Oh and your fate was grim if you ever did see,
the diabolique, loups de Paris.

They'd find you, bind you, leave just scattered bones,
In the alley, the market, église, or home.
They'll taunt you, haunt you, right down to your core
They'll rip you to shreds and leave your body limp et mort

But the commoners spirit was mighty and strong,
and they sat down to think and before very long,
Came up with a plan to rid them of Courtaud,
The hound from hell, and his wild pack too.

So one harrowed night in le  Ile de La Cité,
they found the vieux loup with his stance at the ready,
And with steady minds and keeping their distance
To where they went was no coincidence,
For when they reached the steps of Notre Dame,
Courtaud and his crew met a mightier throng,

By sticks and stones they all were buried,
By whatever the villagers could manage to carry,
And mal courtaud, his head did swoon,
as he took his last gasp under le lune.
With the 40 lay dead, he himself had slained,
and a pile of stone was all he became.

So remember dear enfants when you lie en tes lit
That you'll always be safe from Les Loups de Paris
Courtaud= Core-Too,  Loups=Loo (wolves), réduit à l'essentiel=bare bones, eglise=church, tes=tay (your), lit=lee (bed)

I hate everything that the world's become
Whizz, flash, bang, and nobody's interested.
Bore me with banter, **** me with complaints,
Trap me in timelines, and wrap me in restraints.

Nobody ponders anymore, when it's done for them.
Nobody wonders anymore where things come from.
Accept what you expect, and leave,
Respect what you detest, and believe.

Why must it be that what's in front of you is more real than what is far away?

Emotions have no motions,
Opinions cause commotions,
Just wake up, follow the line, and end up where you think you should be.

But….

On the off chance you feel a askewed,
that the true you hold dear has been yet to be trued,
On the hope that there might be some more,
On the whim that we're not keeping score,
Who's to say what is true and what is false?

Is a collective answer automatically right?
But what about what lies out of sight?
The objects hidden far from light,
That make us believe we're not in the right?

When deep enough down, you'll find the truth,
That that is the truth, no need of the proof.
You'll realize that from dusk until dawn,
the world is written on the life that you've drawn.

The picture you make is as true as it gets
And the past is ghost that swallows regrets
And Your body is an empty shell of scars,
That decomposes and returns to the stars.
But you are different,
You are unique,
You give the blind sight,
And the mute, you let speak.
You are anything but an empty well of wishes you promised to fulfill,
A pit, a grave, an overflowing landfill.
You are a consciousness,
and to that you are different,
and to that you are unique.

If you relax and let it flow through you,
Let it pass as if they all knew you,
You'll feel the oneness,
and not the numbness,
And you'll understand that there is no death, no fear of death
there's no hope, no pain of one's last breath.

We've always been one thing, one person, one entity, one consciousness.
Judgement was created by those who too harshly judge themselves.

Love, it seems was too easy to ignore,
When love's the answer we've been looking for.
why keep it to ourselves,
A mind of twisted hells?
why boast of our prophets,
of golden rain droplets,
why boast of those who we  hold most dear?
Let them consume us with fear?
Eat our soft skin with their yellow teeth,
rip our muscles from bone,
and tear into the white frame to find our marrow peaceful with no barriers to protect it.

We become them until they are us,
Our oxygen turns their gleam to rust,
We envelope and become, the pulsating light,
that pushes through all on a sightless flight.

Our being dragged along, leaving behind just our shell,
Through time and space, not heaven and hell.
Each turn is a question, each pause is a worry,
Our reception is fine, but the picture is blurry.
Each hole that we've filled is with another hole's dirt,

The line in the sand has been redistricted,
"Everything left loose has been restricted,"
said the **** to the *****,
"When it all falls away, let's watch them squirm."
And it all takes shape, in some other form,
Rough, flat, and salted, soft yet firm.

The earth will allow you to sink into it forever,
Until you become a pool of dirt and minerals,
And realize that light and darkness are the same,
Be it a shadow, be it a flame.

When instead of a part, you feel as a whole,
You'll finally know that you're out of control.

I look inside of the box I hold closest to my heart,
Only to make sure that you're still there.
You're the one they promised me,
But you are not promised to me.

You make my eyes never shift their gaze,
You make my mind never lift it's haze.
You have a power over me,
That will control me until i cease to be.

Every second with you in it is better,
Every move I make is only to hear your laughter.
I want to hold your hand in the perfect eclipse,
knowing that the feeling may not last long after.

I want to raise you to love me.
I want to make you need me.
I want you and me to hopelessly become each other's source of life.

— The End —
