It is as if
My most golden time
Was when I had absolutely
No need for gold
All that altered my life
Was the glimmer in your eye

enjoy these words
in silence
value every line
you might try
to look right through me
in an attempt
to dampen the shine

Why write
Why write
These thoughts appear
Sufficiently slight

Baffling bite
Baffling bite
Nothing else
Feels right

Glimmering lie
Glimmering lie
Both on the floor
Why even try

These thoughts appear
Nothing else feels right
Why even try
Why even write

what in life brings you pleasure?
a certain touch, one that cannot be measured
what in life brings you pain?
her taking off, so you could wait
for her return
in vain

Aware of everything
But paying attention to one thing  
Balancing on this ball we call life
Most do not know
What it takes to create the spark
A life worth living
Filled with desire and passion
Always leaving your mark

Murmurs flow
Across your trembling tongue
This dampened glow
Will you overcome
Demons are creeping up
You better run

You still owe me an explanation
Before you ruin another night
All the questions
All the pain
No need to start again
When we both know
Where it will end
Secrets exposed
All the stones unturned
All the memories
Let them burn
