Staring me down across seas of iceburgs
Sifting through the flakes of snow
Looking for the key to you but finding none
A forgotten memory of the armors fault
The shield still to protect fell to the hands of a foe
The fault split between your fingers
A hollowed knight upon a sea of blood
Peaking through the mire
Don’t abandon me on my lifeboat
The wood is cracked and rot
The shield is a dagger to stab the ship
Sinking beneath the waves till tomorrow

Why did you leave, my good friend?
I miss your poisonous voice
that is swimming in my thoughts.
Why are you disappointed my dear?
Isn't it enough to intimidate
Every inch of my broken nails?

Mourn, as the hour draws near--
I'll soon hear goodbyes.
Mourn, for the last petal from the dying rose fell.
Mourn, for thy time has come.
Mourn, not but a smile;
not but a tear.

I'll mourn,
requiescat in pacem

❤

My heart is a baby, who lives inside of me..
He sings and screams,
He opens and shuts,
And I don't have its key..

My body is his home, but sadly he is someone I can't own.
Sometimes he makes me feel alone,
And in every breath I take, I moan..

My mind is his illusionary friend,
A truthful intruder,  who is harsh sometimes,
A type of a friend, that my heart will suspend,
He won't listen and will just pretend,
My heart decides; to walk the walk, until the end..

My soul is his true bestfriend, The one who will never offend,                                                   They get along and enjoy the time they spend,
An amazing harmony, and beautifully their different colors blend..

Despite, the love or hate, that any of them felt and sent,
It's the baby heart, that makes us all bow and bend..

This is the true us, but we deny it and can't comprehend, And all of them, my heart, body, mind, and soul are my one and only reckless, cautious, beautiful friend..

So
1 2 1 2 1 2 3
Take a little step with me
1 2 1 2 1 2 3
And save one last dance for me

So let us go now
Where you and I can
Dance around the floor
Forevermore

Flowers bloom at your feet
And the people line the street
For you and me

So let me take you over to the dance floor
Let me hold you tight and warm and close
Welcome my dear to the place where I can go
Welcome to the dance of the broken souls

I cannot wait for you
I cannot see you through
And the lass I knew
Her heart belongs to you

I gave her council
I gave her advice
I gave it all and more
But when it comes down to the reasons
What is a friend for?

Take my happiness
Pack it in a bag
Take my self-confidence
While you're at it
Take my books on how to make a friend
Take my love while you’re at it

1 2 3
These are a few things I must leave
If you would just say goodbye
I don't know how not to cry
Years go by
And 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 4

And just like everything of me
Her heart now is yours

I am not very good at being a friend
Am not always there by your side
I can promise to be there til the end

Melting and smoky--
like a candle at night,
shining like a sunlight.
Every drop that fell
hurts so bad like a farewell.
But just like a candle at night,
you give hope and dreams
blocking all my internal screams.
'Cause you are my candle at night,
that keeps me cozy and less affright.
I cannot tell how long will you last,
but don't leave me scared and aghast.

Few minutes later here you are,
no longer sparkling; no longer a star.
O what a pain in the eye
as in your light i rely.
Like a candle at night gone in a snap,
maybe I'll end this evening with a nap.

we are nothing but ghosts
yet you've stained me
like red lipstick
on fresh white linen.
