In
searching
all the earth i did
not expect to find
A soul within a world that's
a complement to mine 'Complete' is not
the word that elucidates my head But puts me in the
lantern with the dimming lights instead You're painted in the
foreground, i begin to disappear The rest of me converted
to another hemisphere You knew that i was
dying, i had said it once before
()()|()()
So pluck me from your eyelids, i won't say it anymore
The ink has bled in veins and I'm left without a trace
Without a single outline or
dimension to my face
By walking
on its edges
i discovered
how to fall
To find someone like you
and lose the meaning of it all

some people never
sleep.
some people change everything

Give me your hand I will hold it in mine
Darling tonight we'll go backwards in time
When one of us opens let one of us close
And gently conceal what the others expose
Carry my soul with, wherever you go
To put me in places I'd never have known
And when you need rest I will pick up the reigns
Follow the road that your dreams have sustained
Wake up and see that I've always been here
That it has been you who has kept me my dear
And not only this, but I too have held on
Here in your head when you couldn't respond
Bury the seed and let's bloom once again
Into each other, forever
The end.

So how many words 'til you ruin the plot
Convince all the people they are who they're not
:
You may be an army that purges the mind
But what are your weapons when tested by time
:
For envy will widen the path that you're on
And cause you to number the lives you have won
:
And if there be motive aside of your own
Allow it to wander then leave it alone
:
That is when death has much more of a chance
When no one is watching, it asks you to dance
:
And as it accepts every slight of your hand
Your freedom is taken, replaced with demand
:
The things that were told you along every step
Are what you will use to redeem every theft
:
Collections continue, the army in droves
A walking commandment, a conquering prose
How do you measure the weight of your words?

Have
people's minds become so thin that thinking causes pain
Subdued by every common thing consoling them insane
Transparency has found a way to take its toll on me
But I am here to welcome that which causes him to see
That I have woven far too much with strings that do not hold
And what I've caught inside of them is meant for letting go
The spider said he'd take me in and fed me my own mind
A web of lengthy subtleties diluted in my spine
I crawled upon them long enough to change the shape of days
Pretending to facilitate the others in their ways
But somewhere in this head of mine I tucked away your voice
The only sound that anymore can bring me to rejoice
The note, a key, in which I place the contents that remain
A map upon the lines I crossed but won't and can't
sustain
Olga Valerevna Aug 2013
Inside a mind that wasn't mine
I somehow came to realize
That where I took my thoughts before
Would never matter anymore

The roads I paved had disappeared
And deemed me faulty engineer
Disgraced the pace, upon my face
She saw the wall and did not wait

Suppose I'd tell you what to say
You used to ask me every day
And when I'd talk you'd tune your ears
Then cover up in salty tears

The sea would claim the life you lost
Return to you the latter lot
You held it close so many times
And claimed the right to reconcile

Yet here we are in subs and pars
Collected into mason jars
I'll shatter you, you'll shatter me
Our fragile state will set us free

Taking what is infinite and giving it an end
Hidden in the infancy of tactical revenge
Spoken well, a tone of voice can change what you will
hear
A solid message amplified by every kind of fear
And as I die to everything, my reason lives to ****
The rest of what I petrified by hand of my own will
And driven further once again my words become a knife
To cut away the weaker parts that never sounded right
Committed now the rules are gone and I have made my own
They're based upon the things I dread and places I won't go
If this is madness, give me more, I'll take what I can get
Degenerate my memory and force it to forget
That I have been beside myself for many Falls to count
Unsettled then, I've settled in, no need to walk about
