Love lost long ago only dreams can recall
Dented and cracked surfaces defines my walls
Behind the eyes I withdraw
Damaged goods, recycled parts, war of roses, purple hearts
Symphony in C-flat minor, dread in Mozart's armor
Notes on paper survive, to lose, to love, to cry
We die inside, who knows why

Unfulfilled I gather mist
In a garden green I sift
Dirt and greed beneath the leaves
Fallow ground on soiled sleeves
But even worms need breed
Conflicting thoughts are conceived

How the longing lasts beyond midnight
Beyond half-past the pain still bites
Dust mites between sheets of time
Distorted gray fills the mind
Unconscious realms, tormented guilt
Desolate and dreary, the mind wilts

A spark breaches the impenetrable
Glimmers of hope unattainable
The void swallows me whole
And emptiness out of control
Somehow it's me turning the key
The mind's eye refused to see
This unknown alien aspect of me
Taunting me, threatening to remind me
That I am only me

Clandestinely I dream of upheaval
Against that prevalent part so evil
Shall I judge the less and lie
I shake my head and sigh
Cuz fortunately it only hurts
Somewhere inside ...
