Tears running down my face, chasing after the emotions it has to express – while the flowers rest upon the gravestone of my heart; I am a heavy sigh, the trembling echoes of regret; still, leave me a love that I can never forget. As the stench of the night lingers beneath the phases of the moon, I carry these different faces, depending on my everchanging mood. And as dreams are summarized under your closed eyes – witnessing those visions come to life, feels like a blessing in disguise.
There will always be those who care for us, as we’re surrounded by those who stand around us with different shades of their masks. Must I be aware of every whisper that tarnishes my name; the ill spoken against me– for such knowledge breeds a sickness; for even as pride reveals a man’s vulnerability, the desperate need to validate oneself, shatters them to hopelessly try and find those fulfilling pieces.
All the greatness of tomorrow lies in songs yet unwritten; as we navigate a life of enforced discipline for life is beaten. For mercy won’t exist unless we give it a reason to live. The love you hope to receive is also the love you're willing to give. And how long, and how we'll live, rests on all He permits.
