The cold snow up to my aching knees I look down to where we once stood Memories just washing away in the rivers It's tonight, I'll walk among the silent trees Bleeding and quiet against the cold wood Forgiveness in the countless tries and failures
Autumn has once again fallen behind us The cold winters I face so lonesome Lands bereft of verdure vivid, content life I've bled and lost what was love and lust Cold, dead roots rise from the gray stone All I loved was lost in battles and strife
The crows fly from their snowy branches Listen to them fly, singing in caw It's like they speak and yell down to me Mock my distance to the town's ranches Shout at the wolves ******, gaping maw Nature's beast, please let me be free
But I sit by this stream of water running Letting nature run around my body Becoming ethereal and observant I can feel the long silences coming The silence grants me glorious disembody Laying down by the river, among the plants
I remember the warm summer days Where I sat with you right here We listened to the calm of the wood Watched the sunset in a gaze We whispered words for the year This is right where we once stood
Everything moves in such silence Bleeding yet so warm, relaxing Nature gives me total solitude Escape from the world's violence All the city's men warring, attacking Away from the women so rude
Deepest breaths come in such altitude The crushing and stretching of my heart Trying to calm from red, crying eyes Keeping from an erupting attitude The woods are playing the best part I'm trying to forget all of life's lying
It would take days to find my corpse Out in this forest of complex lonesome I bleed from my wrists and my legs Far away from the city and it's ports Lay here and forget life so loathsome Die where we once stood and I begged
This spot right here, it's where we once stood...
My favorite of what I've written. It's close to home and it was hard for me to write.
