Whisper as the petal falls Soft bare steps across wood floor Strangled mourning drowned by breathing The rain pounds windows with soft beating A heavy bottle -held- by innocent fingers Gasping, failing, contorting features Purity poisoned with clear amber A mind distorted near disaster Fading visions, pleading calls Footsteps stumble, as you fall Rising slowly, gaining strength Grasping doorways along the way Intakes deep of icy air Reflections haunt in windows glare A handle twists, a door creeks open Breaking glass sounds, liquor’s flowing Lashes flutter, eyes bloodshot Crimson stains white, muscles taut Searing pain and misting sights Screams now fill the cold still night Unlocked secrets, truth unmarked Wilting flowers paint the dark I wonder why you drown your sorrows As sun dawns a new tomorrow

Secrets Walk the Halls at Night
Whisper as the petal falls Soft bare steps across wood floor Strangled mourning drowned by breathing The rain pounds windows with soft beating A heavy bottle -held- by innocent fingers Gasping, failing, contorting features Purity poisoned with clear amber A mind distorted near disaster Fading visions, pleading calls Footsteps stumble, as you fall Rising slowly, gaining strength Grasping doorways along the way Intakes deep of icy air Reflections haunt in windows glare A handle twists, a door creeks open Breaking glass sounds, liquor’s flowing Lashes flutter, eyes bloodshot Crimson stains white, muscles taut Searing pain and misting sights Screams now fill the cold still night Unlocked secrets, truth unmarked Wilting flowers paint the dark I wonder why you drown your sorrows As sun dawns a new tomorrow
