i love words
and you had a way with it
besides, you're a writer
the first few months we were together
you'd bask me with your sweet voice
i was blissfully, happily intertwined
in your arrangement of sentences

but

i didn't know you were a painter too
you lose your pen
and started using your hands
you'd paint on me, your favorite canvas
fingers and knuckles as your brushes
i figured you liked red and blue
purple and black when you got creative
...
My thoughts weigh me down
In the middle of the night,
When distant rumbles
And flashes in the sky,
Wake my dreaming mind.
Tyranny rules our bleeding hearts
And this song is all I have.
A touch of humanity lost to a war cry,
All our words, forged in fire.
You strike, I retaliate,
And now we're falling apart.
Can you sleep? I can't.
I lay awake listening to the screams
That drown the silence of the night.
I count the stars that dare to shine
Even through these dark clouds.
We're lost, in time and space,
Waging a war we don't understand.
My kindred, my blood and flesh,
What are we fighting for?

Another day has come
As the rolling stone comes with the stream
The thin crescent in the sky
Smiled upon the womb of clouds
Flow of joys outburst in the outside air
At the end test of gonna
As if the long waiting rain comes down
If you will come back

Everyone's gone fast in a chariot
Away the owl calls out in the way of dark
Light and dark playing on the canvas of memory
Rain song comes up on the track
Early at dawn woke up with that mystic song
Still I'm just Thee revolves

Mere shadow
   Of a lost soul...

Starving for truths
That can never be known

I was once lost you know?
Separate from us
Always to and fro

But without us
You're on your own

A mere shadow
   Of a lost soul...
The secrets of existence are not worth fracturing the world over.
