Through the endless void
Streak cosmic rays
Across the vast abyss
Striking creating
Destroying reforming
Altering manipulating

Forever changing
Forever breathing
Forever giving birth
Giving light
Giving hope
Giving life
Creating motion
Creating emotion
Creating an universe
Where all can live
Where all can experience
Where all can share

Here is the debate
Is the source alive?
Is the source endless?
Is the source aware?
Have we been created?
Have we been giving choice?
Or do we simply exist?
Does it really matter?

Of this
We are assured
We are alive
We can love
We can share
We can choose
We can change
We can experience
We are aware
We crave peace
Why give into despair?

When day becomes night
At dusk they are found
A solemn traveler
Loss everything but life
For no compassion was shown
Words and words alone

Type that never dies
A single wish on mind
Random strangers
Sentence them guilty
Down a pit they shove

After all the heartache
A life of troubles
Sentence only death
Is there no other way?
Down the path the man goes

Think if love was shown
Of the possibilities
A weary man could have
Topic isn't enough alone
For someone who needs to help
Show some effort and care

Then the lonely can be
Let free from darkness
The solemn still have cares
Fun can break any despair
Begin with learning to share
was at a loss for words

Assumption of knowing
Knowing only worry
Worrying about nothing
Nothing but regret
Regretful so apologized
Apologized for what was

What was is arguments
Arguments were annoyance
Annoyance made absent
Absence lead to distress
Distress brought sorrow
Sorrow kept silent
Silence lead no where
No where only had dreams
Dreams brought back

Back to where it began
Began with a loved one
Loved one who understands
Understands what love is
Love has no regrets
Regrets not needed
Needed are caring hands

Caring hands accept
Accept who one is
One is only human
Humans make mistakes
Mistakes can be forgiven
Forgiven and forgotten
Forgotten mistakes end

Everything will work out well,
Never is hope completely lost,
Broken hearts will eventually mend,
The soul knows someday all will change,
Trust can always be placed in others,
A hand you offer to lend towards others,
Communication is what you want improved,
Darkness is never eternal,
Rain makes it so turmoil can be soothed,
Someday the light will appear,
Somebody that will always be dear,
Those who are close may question actions,
Those who are not give only discretion,
Freedom is earned as well as taken for self,
Confusion will always present,
Deceit within to keep self sane,
Hiding secrets is quite pleasant,
Desires may never be truly met,
Pain will sometimes relent,
Dreams are ever fleeting not matter efforts to contain,

Everything around you is shifting,
Never will it all be still or hope be the answer,
Broken heart will keep on beating while time ticks away,
The soul may have been brave but was shattered,
Trust can always be misguided and broken,
A hand you may offer but instead you only offend,
Communication will become garbled and none may understand,
Darkness will never seek to make amends,
Rain may be soothing but may turmoil never truly end,
Someday a light will appear but to burn away the night,
Somebody who is always dear turns you away is your only fright,
Those who are close ask questions only to get pushed aside,
Those who are not are given answers but only tell you that you pry,
Freedoms are stripped away by yourself when you only cry,
Confusion is your cage,
Deceit is a the lock that will not age,
Hiding in a corner looking for anything to give release,
Desires at least give some relief,
Pain continues to strip everything away,
Dreams seem to be the only escape.

Memories of a past life,
Remorse of all wrongs done,
Wish to forget them and move on,
The loved one has forgotten,
But feelings have not withdrawn,
Have they been forgiven,
Or were the wrongs disregarded,

Long to be close again,
Want to make up for the past,
For all that was wrong,
For all the years lost,
But seems like the love,
All of that has gone,

Left with memories,
Left with remorse,
Left with desires,
Left without a course,

Wish to lose it all,
Want to change nature itself,
If not just for one,
That is not self,

The one that was dear,
To start life anew,
Change anything to be near,
If only to be considered true,

Would give up all,
For a fresh start,
A new life,
A different way of thought,
To give up all strife,
To avoid doing things for naught,

Will it be possible,
Only one will know,
Has anything changed,
If it is for show,
The one is not here,
Nor are they anywhere close,
But the one that knows is very dear,
Hope that they are not oppose
Way of dealing with remorse

The evening star soon falters,
Night flowers lay in wait,
Trust not the depth of dark waters,
Invaders nature will eradicate,

The living end still comes,
Echos heard within the pristine wall,
A grave pact was made within the slums,
In one night all shall fall,
Not a few,
Not some,
Or many,
But a few,
Some,
Many and all,

The plague rats gather,
At night nothing is safe to say,
The marrow gnawers may rather,
But the swarmyard is the only way,

The coffers are full,
Death's storehouse is now empty,
But don't be a fool,

The assassin lay ready,
The crypts are no longer Hallowed,
Keep yourself steady,
You do not want to get swallowed,

If you make it out alive,
The debtors' knell you will pay,
Without them you would not survive,
Don't forget thank the spirit for another day

What am I?
Who am I?
Why are you?
How are you?
Will you not be at my side?

Don't know where I am,
Don't know where I go,
What is for only show?
Seeking you is all I know,

Tell me the truth,
I will tell no lie,
Am I like you?
Or am I the lie?

Where have you gone?
Why do you hide?
The secrets are truth,
Common knowledge the lie,

What am I to you?
Who am I to you?
What are you to me?
Who are you too?
Why is it we lie?
How do we exist?
Why is it we hide?
How do we resist?

Questions without answers,
Answers hidden within truth,
Everything we know,
Everything we say,
Is it all a ruse?

You hold my hand and tell me a lie,
I hold yours to say don't leave my side,
Even if its not true,
Even if its all lies,
Even if with the secrets,
Even while wondering why,

Never knowing the complete truth,
Forever hidden from sight,
I will always be happy,
As long you are nearby.
