Don't feel sorry for me
And don't you pity me
I am a broken soul
But I'm not a dead one
I am a broken soul
But I aint done
Robert Purvis Nov 2010
You wake up in a cold sweat
Realizing its 7 pm
You wonder where the day has gone...

As this putrid
thought
Crosses your mind
It clicks
You're begging the day to speed by
..aren't you?
You think quietly
This day hasn't gone fast enough

You know this
Because it ain't blurring yet
You close your eyes
And let the world
Whirl by
Robert Purvis Nov 2010
It
The world turns
And churns
Tumultuous
Ravenous
Life creeps
Crawls
And yes even claws
I am but a stepping stone
I feed The Pulse
The Life
Indomitable
Unyielding
And forever
Growing
It is I
As I am It
So I shall creep
crawl
And yes even claw
My way through this Life
Robert Purvis Nov 2010
I was once lost
In the confines
Of my own soul

My heart inside out
And the world felt
Like it was
Every kind of backwards

But today
Will be different
I will put things
Rightside up
Whether you're here
Or not

And even if my heart falls
I will rise

And even if I lose my way
I will rise

And even if you blind me
I will rise

And though you don't love me

I will rise
Second half of "Falling"
Robert Purvis Nov 2010
What
Is the pit in my chest?
Numb to all emotion...
But....
An unmistakable
Unexplainable
weight is there...
I desire your presence
I feel it will drive this
Pain away
But as you near
It gains weight
I feel my chest sinking
And as my heart falls
Further
I seek you
Further

Until one day
I find myself soo deep
I cannot find my way back
To the your world

And now
Inverted
My heart pushed
So far
I am lost
In my own soul
I am lost
In my own mind

I know but one thing anymore...
I know you....
And that once
burning desire

One thing is left
That once burning desire
So curious I am
I cannot find reason not to
Grab hold of it
Once more.....

I fall
Indefinately
Lost in my own world
Where I will sink
Till I find
What I lost...
Followed by "Rising"

I would rather be
A broke man
Than a con...

I would rather be
A lover
Than a hater...

I would rather be
The bad guy
Than lie to you...

I would rather be
With you
Than without...

I would rather be
In your arms
Than hers...
Robert Purvis Oct 2010
Shining bright
The rising sun
Its brilliant rays
Piercing the clouds above
Like arrows of the divine
Shattering the darkness
Bringing light to shadow
And hope...
To those who need it
