Such symmetry well rationed
In the balance of desire
When love is true, desire blooms
Without, it dies by fire
If love be born, then let it soar
To rise forever higher
Let’s cease to be but casualties
And find balance in our desire

Beyond this loss of mind
Slipping through the hands of time
Remaims a dream of love unseen
That will not be denied
It longs to be set free
To become reality
This loneliness of in-between
Will never dull its cry
It cannot be contained
And at times, drives me insane
As it lies in wait
Both calm and irate
For the day it can finally thrive

The road before him unfolds broken and chaotic
Much as the thoughts running through his mind
With beauty beheld, but never to be held
While wading through limbos and waiting out time
A little worse for wear with heart upon sleeve
An unending poem often void of rhyme
A heart full of love with no lover to bleed to
Unrested and weary despite all he’s tried

Many years he’s spent trying, just to keep trying harder
Many years he’s spent waiting, just to wait a spell more
So often growing tired of both trying and waiting
When both prove for things never meant to be more
Wondering which dreams to follow despite all his failures
Still learning not all dreams are meant to come true
Which is hard for a dreamer who dreams most in waking
When the only thing learned is he hasn’t a clue

Nothing is perfect in the taking of chances
There's always a chance that we've wasted our time
And often, it feels as if time has wasted us
Feeling destroyed when those chances forsake us
But, it simply closes the doors we've lingered too long within
Giving us opportunity to chance upon another
For although wasted effort plays cruelly upon our hearts
No effort at all hurts much worse in regret
So we must take our chances
Yes, they can leave us worse for wear most times
But never broken beyond repair
It may feel so
But only to give us strength in our weakness
To tear down walls when there are no doors to chance upon
As there can be no joy without sorrow
No courage without fear
No determination without failure
Without our weaknesses to give us strength
We would have no fighting chance at all

I had no clue that I could set water afire
until in drowning, I began to burn…
Diary of the ****** - Chapter 2
The moon sings from high
Yet, I’m lost to the night
Not a sorrow takes wing
Not an angel in sight
Every demon screams its anger
As they wage their war of mind

It’s too late to tell
I’ve unsurely surmised
So ends the beginning
Of my slow demise
No stranger to the stranger
In the mirror none too kind

There is magic in the making
Darker than a shadow’s crawl
Sudden laughter in the breaking
Of the fool who paid it all
Though there’s comfort in this failure
For it’s been so long, it feels too much like home

I’ve forsaken my mistakings
Undertaking such despair
Broken rhythm unromantic
All too real, yet barely there
Both in living and in dying
For it feels as both have settled in my bones
Diary of the ****** - Chapter 2
Shattered once was I
So many awkward pieces
Too many remain

Rest my weary eyes
My dreams more than forsake me
It leaves me insane

Despite raging storms
No winds dare disturb this night
Yet, it howls within

Love fuels what it calms
In darkness or divine light
Bittersweet chagrin

Forgive my desire
I’m so long without love’s touch
Better off alone

Adding to the fire
Loneliness beyond too much
It scars to the bone

Somewhere in between
Nightmare with no end in sight
Can’t seem to outrun

Future yet unseen
Save me from myself tonight
I’m coming undone

Loving me is war
I’ve lost myself many times
Nothing much remains

Will no other heart
Wholly broken just as mine
Show me no refrain?
