As the sullen figure of a woman sets alone in her room
You can feel in the atmosphere all the gloom
As memories rap on the doors in her mind
They well remain there for all time
For her they will never depart
For even if time erases them from the mind,they are written with scars in her heart
She sits there shoulders hunched over
A river of tears sliding down her checks, no longer able to hold her composure
She had slipped into her room, her sanctuary
The burden of being the strong one, for the moment she could no longer carry
There's a place
Where the light
Won't find you,
Deep inside.

There's a place,
Where the hope,
Is so cold,
Deep inside.

We have all been scorched
Down the flat of our feet,
From the walk, to the top
Of our lowered heads,
And it was decided we didn't want to do this anymore.

I see my clique have made it quite clear they've been winning more battles now,
I walk around the camp checking out their paintings and hearing their chants,
And I see hands holding hands, keeping them too,
The saving was done by brave, obscure tunes,
Different sound waves crafted by two, saved them all and grew them new.
The art everywhere and battle scars,
I smile a little smile but it's a sad one in my mind,
It's all out of my insider thoughts,
It's all out of my insider gloom.

I should fall into these groups,
Of survival in the dark, but it's way over my top,
And I shuffle back to my place and same all spot to watch from a far,
And the whispers declare this is the darkest dark.

There's a place,
Where the light,
Won't find you,
Deep inside.

But there's a way,
And a choice we can make,
To find it instead.
Way outside.

Now... what is it in my heart, that I like this dark?....

The gloom that clouds our Monday,

Cast shadows 'cross our hearts,

We toil at tasks that we despise,

Whilst our loved ones are apart.

Stress is such a strong thing,
Controlling those.
Bringing them forth into darkness.

So many things can see,
The happiness can be brought forth.
Just learn to reveal.
The small things.
The mirth.

Stress is destruction,
slowly eating away at your insides.
Making you dark, corrupted.
Lost in the night sky.

Do not let the darkness in,
Bring forth the light.
Stress is such a strong thing,
But it will make you do whats right.

Bring forth the light!

Grey Sunday afternoon.
Rain is fallen glistering gloom.
Inside it's warm and cozy.
Time for writing and relaxing.
Watch a movie and some texting.
Even when this day is grey.
Smile and have lovely Sunday.

quiet chaos
resting silently inside a soul
longly lost by the spirit
that meditates calmly now
inside the dome filled by dark emptiness
it's cold, a freezing gloom
but the breeze is pleasant
it awakens my whole being
making me realise
what a fulfilled emptiness I am living
emptiness is a dark deep blue
and it makes everything so clear

You set apart your body,
you move your wings away,
never even turning back.

Your stalwart step,
signs that you were never—
ever felt aspired nor sincere,
you have never felt them.

Have you ever felt something?
For me? Feel at least, align.

It has always been me,
who cherish whilst I know,
know what is precise,
that the feeling of thee is;
The opposite of mine.

Hence, me, myself,
could not ever blame,
nor my feelings or thee.

This dependence of mine,
is built of sincere and melancholy.
That latch until death do part.

She woke up to an eery sight
seems that somehow during the night
a shadow (or something!) had crept into her room
and brought with it a giant box full of gloom
and though she tried hard to seal that huge box
it wouldn't close even with one of her best locks
and out spilled the gloom all over the freakin' place
and now she's wearing that **** gloom on her face...
but no, it didn't just stop there--
somehow it leached into her hair
and ran across her feet, her legs as well
and now she stands wondering, is she living in hell?
just one of those days, I guess...

The night has overcame the day,
The light has been taken away.
Their Souls are shading,
Toward darkness they are heading,
Humanity has been taken
The spark within their eyes has been stolen
Gloom has fulfilled their eyes
Lies, lies and lies has become their lives...
