I wrote a symphony once
in the dying light of my mind.
It was beautiful,
brought tears to my eyes.

The profoundness led me through corridors,
there I was lost in madness.
Enveloped in my experience
onward I traveled.

Tearing at my flesh, talons pierce me.
Darkness, my friend, always there
destroying mind and body.
Tainting my soul, its poison,
Slithers through my veins.

Halted at the edge of my journey
This evil holds my heart hostage
grasping harder and harder
light is clear, yet I am stone.

Pride destroyed, beaten
by fiendish devotions.
Door closes, pain paralyzes.
My humanity shatters like glass
Leaving reflections behind permanently.

you are the echo in places after everyone's sound has gone.

you are the reluctant resonance in air between breaths.

you are the leaving that's overstayed its welcome.

you are the racket in deprivation of company.

you are the uproar after music has ceased.

you are the chord eternally reappearing.

you are reverberations of want, of lack.

you are sweet tinnitus in every hush.

you are every absent reoccurrence.

you are epitomes of entirety.

your gale still lingers.

but you do not.

you do not.

you do.

not.

Someday,
I'll all come to me
But now,
I just want it to remain a mystery.
Just curious about the future...

I wanted to ask you
what are we really,
what am I to you
but you might not
say anything and I'm
afraid that that's
what we really are.
That these songs
only existed
in my head,
that I
never existed
in your heart.

Remember my name.
I've been turning the calendar pages with my bleeding hand.
I can't see you.
I still want to feel the warmth around me long nights under our favorite stars.

Clinging on the hope you showed year.
I can't deny, get me out ,
I want to wear pink, yellow and green and run flapping my hands in our favorite place.

Set yourself free.
Let yourself go.
Let the lights shine bright.
It's hard to be dull in the darkest of the night.
My heart is broken, with words unspoken.
What's broken cannot be unbroken.
What's joy without pain?
They say that the best kind of love is insane.
Instead, we hurt each other over and over again.
We could pretend that everything's going to be okay.
Deep down in our hearts, we know the pain's going to stay.
Let's keep our heads up and laugh in each other's embrace.
So we can walk away with grace.

A smile makes my day
I look forward to making you laugh
I'm soothed by the stars in your eyes
And the clouds in your embrace.

You say you don't deserve  kind words
And it baffles me
How does such a caring person,
Surely an angel,
Deserve any less than the moon?
The sun?

Let me give you a planet,
Will live on it
In peace.
