#remorseful
A villain I made you out to be But the truth is what I failed to see Rather hear 'cause repeatedly you didn't fail to say But I guess I didn't want to see it that way I played a part in your unjust blame, Now remorse holds me, drowning me in shame A human you are—not demon nor saint, Not a battle to win, so I yield in restraint Open my eyes, I shall finally do I'm tired of lies that I disguised as you I can silence my cries and let go of you Finally my eyes are open, now I can say goodbye to you

Open your eyes
If I could give it all, I did I gave away a privileged life, one could dream to live At the time, I didn't think I had much My mistake and all my glory was crushed My perspective was crooked All were in awe of my life, yet I overlooked it I thought of my life like a house of glass Too fragile and meek, so over-class Ironically, that was an understatement My life, a house of gold to be completely blatant Yet still I took my life with no value The gold was my ashtray I spew Now my life, a burnt down house, scarce of abundance A daily reminder of my descendance Into a void; hell Hopeless on whether I'll live to have a story to tell Of how life gave me something And how quickly I gave life reason to make me nothing

I Am Nothing
I know I am unworthy & undeserving, Beneath you, love; And yet, with shame, I feel the same as I have always This heart - of yours. It is kindred, and full of lust. Hopelessly infatuated, Though I know we were all wrong. I can't help it, And I assure you it isn't obsession For I have known that, This is not it. Just painfully unrequited, For all my faults.

A Pallbearer For Athena
I spent another evening In one corner of My mind... My conscience is Left bleeding, And I don't know what I'll find... My future hangs in balance, I'm too nervous To sleep, But still I keep my chalice, I fill it and I drink... The courthouse is A palace, Of justice and of Peace, But when I walk inside it I shake from head To feet... I beg the gods I Don't believe To grant me just Some peace... Please let me enter Into hell And walk out On two feet... Oh, let me enter into hell And walk out On two feet...

Court
* *Days upon months and months upon years I keep to false smiles while on the palms of sadness Bathing in remorse, I wish to be cleansed and raise with integrity, climb with dedication and smile with compassion* *

My Hands
But it feels like forever. From strangers to friends To friends to strangers You're both the reason For my tears and laughter One thing will never change I will love you forever.
