I said I’ve moved on but maybe I haven’t
All the days from our past replay in my head when
I’m out in the world… or sheltered at home…
My feeling were real… this you had known…
But you broke me down with no second thought
It’s no wonder it's us who had never fought
My passionate kisses, your intimate touch
Make my days hard to live, but live I must
So as a heart falls asunder, thoughts fell askew
And all that I had was all that made you…

Yet between the silences my heart awoke
My placid mind forms rhetorical questions
To determine the meaning of the words we spoke

“…I love you…”

From you such a desired announcement
Fell flat like the plane of reality
When thrown against the intangibility of the unknown…

…and yet..
“I really loved you”

So as I gave my heart to you more with each passing day
You picked at it just to throw pieces away…
Now the pain I feel is more immense than you know
Sincea as each day goes by, I wish my memories would go…

“…but the pain is a reminder that I’m alive”

Because since that fateful day
You’d never guess I’d think I’m dead
As the incapacitating truth hit my heart…
…My nerve endings burnt out…
And my heart gave in to despair…

“But I Believe That You Will Be Fine”

Just as I believed that we’d work
But as I was once told the truth does hurt…
Accepting things the way they are is the only remedy
To redeem a lost soul from the emaciating pain

“…I miss you…”

Well if you did as you say you do
You’d seek me out…
And notice that the person I’ve become
Isn’t a person at all…
I’m a shade… no the Miasma…
Left from the dark in my heart
And the light of my love has disappeared…

“… You’ve Been In My Dreams…”

Do you know why?
Because I sure did…
The feelings I had
Weren’t that of a kid...
I loved you
And did what I did to prove it
But then again…
Girls want Men..
Not growing kids…
So the loss of me…
Will resound in your heart…
………
While you have your light…
I have my dark…

As I shadow the life
That I once lived
All the pain and strife
The things I did
All the times I lied
And things I hid
Are what changed my mind
To a mans from a kids

With a deceptive heart
You broke me down
Way back at the start
When I never frowned

You played the game
And faked the feeling
So I feel true pain
Since I was kneeling

I gave you 2 rings
And a love so true
Beyond material things
I gave my world to you

But by your decision
We split again
During a deep depression
I found “you won’t be missed”

So as time moves on
I will too
As I sing heavens’ songs
I see what I’ll do

During my time of change
You remain in the past
And after my hearts’ pain
I won’t come back

Your mistakes dictate your life
While my decisions form my heart
Your decisions are what broke your mind
My mistakes are freed me from the dark
You said love and wasted my time
I said love instead of playing smart
But my use of love put me in the light
While yours… heh…
Yours left you dead in the dark...

So as I start a new life
I leave you alone
All the pain, the strife
Left when I came home

Your heart may break
But that’s in your hands
there’s no more I can take
I can’t be your man

My heart was true
But your’s a lie
So whatever you do
You’re not in my life

So flee to him
Hide away in his arms
Or go to them
Your friends “they are”

no tears shed…
my eyes are dry
as I lay in y bed
you’re not on my mind

so leave it be
you’re not right for me
I regretfully free
My new nothing…

I am what I am
An infectious spirit
Like the black widows’ venom
I will stun your senses
At the sound of my voice
The whole process begins
No matter your choice
You will give in
Try as you may
The venom is active
The contagions’ set in
The defenses cave in
Corrosion’s just happened
Within a few moments
You’re entranced by the
Virulent Being
Meaning the makings of me

I am “Shard The Virulent"
With a little piece of me
Your life becomes mine
And the infection spreads on

what is love?
the soul of happiness
or the essence of pain

could it be fictitious?
created by the mind

but still...

The weight of love
against reality
is close to nothing

basically...

take your mind
add your heart
subtract a pain
add a smile
and try to balance the equation...

but i deter from my topic...

my postion's love not math

so basically

the balance of love
and life
wrong or right
fact or fiction

equates to be

inconclusive...

This thing is rare
in our mislead world...
everlasting imperfections...
hinder hopes forlorn...
while it all falls down...
People somewhere have faith...
that what they feel tomorrow
is the same as today...
For these are the lovers..
the hopeless romantics...
warriors of the heart...
the seekers of devotion...

I,
being of them,
have a powerful tale...
heartbreak and lust...
litter my trail...
leading to one day...
known as the present...
it's in...
while that's out...
my future's the now...

With a heart so tender...
and dreams so faint...
the emotions i speak...
should bare no weight...
but it's impossible...
that these things...
would be so hapless...
an emotional burial...
will never happen...

Assault...
Defense...
Protect...
What's left...
but one day soon...
what i've had
will have left...
from me
to be...
in another's life...

and what i'll be...
is what's by their side...

So I'll Fight...
Not Run...
I'll Wage War...
For Love...

Battered...
and Bruised...
I'll still receive my fate....

I'm tired of the fake
i want true...
and i'm tired of the same old
Red Vs blue
i'm tired of the blame
placed on me from you
And i'm tired
of the lost words "I Love You"

what's wrong in our world...
why can't just live the facts...
or follow the bible
and say "Jesus did all that!?"

since pride and prison
Run right along with popularity...
and fame and fortune...
all share fate...

a death in the end
not form natural causes
stress and losaes
bulk up and nothing softens
