Curse this woman's fickle nature,
who allowed that man again to play her.
With love not lost and still held dear,
she walked into his arms unknowing of fear.

footsteps placed carefully
alone in a dark stairwell
girl do you know if
the echoes are heard

sliding of gravel
cracking under bare touch
furling of fingers
clench the shivering teeth

slow breath
quiet breath
listening for nothing
looking into a void

no light, no light
no voice, no figure
yet following close
closing in too quick

motionless and moving
light whispers
omnipotent and unwavering
girl where do you run

guessing for sight
calloused fingertips
against empty walls
surrounded and surrounding

light brush of sound
heart like a drum
dead end, dead end
the reaping of life

I am following an old dirt path
Hoping it will take me far far away
Where thoughts of you can't follow
And plead my resolve to sway

I refuse to believe in false love
Just so I can be near to you
My first love, one in my heart
Oh how can you be so cruel

I truly wanted this to last
This was not some wanton affair
Your lack of complete passion
Has left me in fits of despair

I will not find my way back to you
No, I dare not to turn around
The only thing leading me forward
Is the absolute silence of sound

seekIng blade and drug

Without drIve, simpLe reason

sLeep, endless dreams

yet unmoving

sTill cOnscioUs, only watChing

cannot toucH...

will noT toucH

do not darE to touch

dissatisfaction in simplicity

keeping sanity or insanity

whicheVer it mAy be

unrelentinG desire

the pUrsuit cannot bE...

will not be escaPe

can only be complication

obliqUe undeRstanding

thE hazy LIGHT

I once told you "without you I'd be all alone"
do you remember what you said
you said you loved me

And I believed you, you know I did
I love you
remember when i said it too

I still mean it despite what happened
though you're disbelieving now
it's true, aggravatingly true...

No, I don't blame you for this
both of us were at fault
you can't stop time from changing us

Oh, I don't know if we'll be friends
perhaps when we find ourselves
again I'll come to this place

But despite this being the end
even if you won't say it...
I love you
