The fires red
Rivers ran red
The rain pours
From open doors

Steam rises from the hard ground
Nothing but darkness all around
Children's screams come from a near
Mother's cry of suffering fills the air

A father's please echos everywhere
Surrounded by pain and suffering
It is smothering, suffocating
Lightning strikes, and I can see

Blood running down a child's cheek
Someone come and save the children
Someone come and save the forsaken
Someone come and save the Suffering

Someone come end this hurting
Someone come help the broken mend
Make the screaming come to and end
The storm has gone

The faces pass on
I look into nights river
And what do I discover
It was I who was screaming
Screaming save me from this dark dreaming

She's on fire
Flames of desire
A goddess of liars
He's Insane
Burnt to the grave

A web of lies
She'll make you cry
Burning you alive

He's her nightmare
Filled her with fears
Haunts her dreams
When she screams
She's lost in hell

A web of lies
She'll make you cry
Burning you alive

Your hand brushes upon my skin
The iciness of your touch sent shivers down my spine

Are you unaware of the sin
Slightly pushing over the line
Your hand gently caresses my side
My skin becoming inflamed

Wanting that moment to die
Are you not ashamed
Was our friendship a lie
I lay there motionless
In fear if I move my lips of what may leak

Do you not see you that you make me defenseless
Inside I am screaming
I'm hoping that you would go away
Thinking if I could just wake up from this dream
Everything would be back to its normal way

Lovers come and go
With nothing left to hold
The bitter sky turns gold

An eerie silence filled the night
As the moon shone its light
Only one star shining bright

Swaying in the breeze
The magical dance of weeds
And the music of rustling leaves

Lovers coming apart
A trail of bleeding hearts
Trying to make a new start

Wishing someone by my side
Knowing this would be denied
To my lonely self I chide

In the lovers meadow I weep
Wanting a love that won't keep
I must let my restless soul sleep

Waiting silently I pray and seek
The one who won't let my heart leak
Now I must rest and not grow weak
For one day my soul will peak
Sometimes we need to stop searching and just wait. Good follows bad. Take a break and stop trying to find your lover just let your lover find you.

Words written without care
Letters tossed around as if there's enough to spare
Giving birth to new meanings
Twisted around for the writers own reasoning

Put down to ease the mind
For the secret message is contains, the writer may find
Opening the gateway to worlds not seen by eyes
Where within beauty lies

Here let me hold your wrist
And let me kiss your veins
And let me rub my hand along your back
And blow away your strains
Would you like to see the stars tonight?
Instead of ceiling tile?
For rain to kiss your collar bone
Your eyelids and your smile
The universe caught in your eyelashes
Before you go back to bed
To be stolen away for just one night
I promise it's not just in your head
See? You feel my fingertips
You know I'm really there
You really feel the running now
The wind current through your hair
Don't go home to cotton sheets
Stay here forever, feeling my skin
They talk melancholy eternity
Not a world of light like the one we're in
It's real it's real it's real
If you can see and touch and smell
We're far from a heaven you could ever dream up
But we are very far from hell

As I look upon you
You turn around and stare
I thought you'd never see me
I thought you'd never care
Your eyes are hard to see
But the blue stands out alone
I can see your thoughts within them
Upon a face of stone
I wish that I could tell you
The thoughts inside my head
The words just won't come out
With a crooked smile instead
I thought it was only me
Until you saw it too
You know the truth inside me
I can't help loving you
