Always.

My strength has gone,

My soul has perished,

I lost my home,

The Light was vanquished.

Dystrophic sounds,

The brutal cacophony

Of silence and longing,

It's a bludgeoned symphany.

-

Caressing the cheek,

Fingers through her hair,

Smiling subtlely,

Then I awake without air.

The wind eats at each bone

The rain chills them still,

And what good is this home

Without her will?

The imagination runs wild

With dreams of perfection,

The qualities of flaws,

The insurrection.

Grieving turmoil and, alas, it has,

Been determined to happen as fast,

It creeps along its vertices,

Stoking fire of improbability,

Fending for myself, alone,

It seems to me I must here drone,

Wasting away every single chance,

To break free of a pallid trance,

I've always escaped my heart of thoughts,

I've always ended what all have brought,

I've always ended what songs she sings,

I've always brought about suffering,

I've always snuffed my last candle-light

I've always gripped the ledge too tight,

I've always choked the life from myself,

I've always drowned my sorrows in Hell,

I've always heard of my downfall,

I've always scorned the love in all,

I've always been plagued with bitter hate,

Although,

I'll always hate love, and love it still,

I'll always wish for someone until...

I'll always lust for something great

I'll always rush for my own fate,

I'll always need the hand to hold,

Whatever in my life may happen in the cold.
