Nearing the end
Feeling I might
Shatter in the light
Of what's wrong or right
Before it begins again

An emotional sting
Through my eyes
I cannot decide
What truth lies
Yet I keep seeing

The choice was made
With heart alone
Even though
Fallacy has been known
Under a coercive shade

To some it is strange
But it's our veracity
And despite what could be
It's exceedingly clear to me
That all things can change

My brothers why do we act this way
Why continue with this war,
It carries on from night to day
And yet we yearn for more.

An endless sum of shameful gore
Is stained upon our face,
We fight though we are cut and sore
And bathed in disgrace.

Alas it's purpose we do belie
'Tis that we live to justify,
I'll hold my ground to end this strife,
But for peace I'd give my life.

Time may be fading
And of few things I am sure
My end will find me

But until it does
If I should not warrant life
At least I have learned

Yet for those I love
And the lessons by trial
For this I shall live

A question of morality
I'm afraid that is just an illusion
Or could it be virtue,
Yet through agreement or objection
This forbidden affection
Cannot be covered by confusion.

A reluctant breath
How could it be so
That this could determine,
Life through deference
Or death by forbearance
Only choice can show.

Should you be swayed
By what you gain or lose
They are equally flawed,
So this is what I make of it
Compliant or indifferent
Simply put, I refuse.

I remember the way
Her hands fell into mine
If only for the time
That our love was in play
And I remember her
Who would smile and blush
That our love and our touch
Would be forever
But time's no friend
And never again
Will I see that smile or blush
Though I may reminisce
It can't help since
I'll never feel her kiss or touch,
For today is cruel
This day her life will be
Sealed for eternity
Under the soul's mighty rule
The eyes that weep
Will softly speak
Of some warm some bleak
Memories to keep
But now she's sound
On holy ground
Finally home and thus
We will recall
And cherish all
The love she's given us.

An act of indifference
Parting with my reverence
Any cares that I should lack
Through hell again and back
However heartless it may seem
Yes, but how lonely it can be.

I remember a life so simple
When I could enjoy each day
I could finally forget the past
But things never stay that way,

Time was lost
And I failed to see
The endless horror
That would consume me.

All the while
My mind was clear
Though I never thought
That I'd find myself here,

Ambition was scattered
Though I could feel the pain
But I knew that my efforts
Would not be in vain.

Into those eyes
My figure took shape
Sealing a contract in blood
That we could not escape,

Our feeble hearts
Were betrayed by time
But I had another purpose
That I could not decline.

So again with the story
Let it end once more
Yet I'm still wondering
What I survived for,

I know my fate is shadowed
By the choices I have made
But now that it is over
I think it's time I prayed.

I wish it was real
But I know it cannot be
If only I could stop
As I'm plagued by what I see,

Once upon a time
I was confident in a way
I felt that I could help
And I had things to say.

I now want but one thing
To once more be blind
Please show me no more
And let me leave it behind,

The words I speak
Must so obviously be
Not lifted encouragement
But now contrary.

For once I could think
Without making the mistake
Of warming to the relationships
That would soon begin to break,

What I would dream
Could never be mine
So as I said before
I would rather be blind.

Our entity lives short
Proving frail with every breath
Until we wipe away our doubt
And face the rival death.

If never our words are heard again
Than let it be by choice,
Rather have a hundred ears
Than one feeble voice.

If already we know what is to come
Why should we show any fear,
Why not instead be cloaked in faith
As our final blink draws near.

The past will soon redeem itself
Why should we not rejoice,
For what we thought may not be so
If one has found hope in our voice.

A lonely desert
So shadowed and dark
With no trace of existence
But a nomad's small mark.
It lives in solitude
With a frequent visit of wind,
And waits for the day
That it will carry life again.

Coming to me
You spilled your pain
And yet
Before you spoke
I'd already known
That my attempts would be in vain

You see
Words cannot change time
Nor can a wish
But if your words could start
With the one who breaks your heart
I'm sure they'd mean more than mine

And if
Your heart cannot rest
I'm sorry
But whatever you should do
I'll always be here for you
And above all, I wish you the best

A trifle of a life
Was theirs to be lead,
The souls of the just
Weighing on their heads.

Dying cries and crying eyes
Of whom they will never forget,
Memories of their broken lives
And the troubles they have met.

They look upon the running breed
Whose trials have just begun,
But for the ones who've had to suffer
Their binds have come undone.

The restless curse upon their heads
Has finally come to an end,
Now they humbly raise their flag
And end the war within.

The sun sets gently
As clouds fall in grace,
The stars softly crying
Word of night's embrace.

Slowly does the world turn
So quiet as the wind,
Shedding new light on it's children
Before they rise again.

Sooner does the morning come
To greet their weary eyes,
For now the night leaves its mark
Falling in the skies.

I fear I've crossed the lines
For as far as I can see
I've been a dreamer, but my dreams
Have gotten away from me

I think it awfully odd
That though I've had the time
I cannot quite decide
On what course I will align

But time has run dry for me
Yet I think I'd rather not be
Wearing the shade of misery
But focus on the gift of being free.

There are those in this world
That you wish you could change,
But how can we wish to sway another's life
When our own are so out of range.

But luckily this is no test
We're expected to make our mistakes
Even if we're the image of imperfection
We leave a trace of virtue in our wake.

The troubles may give us a reason to quit
And we tend to let our head hang low,
We can't even see the road ahead
So how should we know where to go.

But even if we sometimes get discouraged
When life never seems to be easy,
We come to see that this encouragement stuff
Is just way too damn cheesy.

Why did this have to happen
Why did we have to change
Why did we have to drift apart
When others stayed the same

Why couldn't we have spoken
Why couldn't we have shared
Was it the thought of rejection
That was too much for us to bear

Why couldn't you have told me
Why couldn't we have cried
Why did I always push you away
Instead of pulling you by my side

Why couldn't we have listened
Why couldn't we have learned
Why did we shoo away
The love that we have earned

Why couldn't I have seen
Why couldn't we have shared
Why is love always
So damn unfair

Yes, hope is fading
And most faith has subsided
But all is not lost

Years, months, weeks, nor days
Can show us what we fear most
As time is no key

Therefore we must learn
For how can we shed our fear
If we fear truth most

I have come as far as I can
And been lost in irony's tide
Yet I see nothing more sincere
Than a match with you at my side,

You've surpassed my expectations
Now I ask myself why
I couldn't just have told you the truth
And spared us both the lies.

But I cannot change that now
My time is wearing thin
I must dream the famous dream
And let history begin,

I'm sorry I did not tell you before
You've been a very dear friend
Granted this final breath I must say
Goodbye, I doubt we will meet again.

The streets are staring back at me
My heart's been set on fire
I told you I would stop the lies
But you know I'm still a liar

The lights barely glistening
Bearing witness to our ways
And left their mocking shadows
Spread amidst the hollow haze

How glum and sad the message
That we receive from the night
The fact that we are blind and helpless
Without a guiding light

Maybe if I fell asleep
Under the pouring rain
The mist would drown my sorrows
And the cold would numb my pain

My mind is filled with darkness
My heart heavy with grief
And only your comforting touch
Can bless me with relief

You and I both see it
Our love turning to hate
But I still dream that you'll come back
And for that day I'll wait

In spite of all we've been through
There's one thing I ask of you
Please don't apologize
Even though we've had our fights
The only thing that calmed the nights
Was the fear of seeing tears in your eyes,

But a few years have past
Fate's shown us it couldn't last
Today our paths lie far apart
It's better this way
At least we can say
It's better than having a broken heart.

And I can now see
That at times when you needed me
I didn't always come through
But I've had time to learn
So now it's my turn
To say my apologies to you,

But enough, enough
Let it not get the best of us
Even if we should say our goodbyes
Though time won't slow
At least you'll know
You'll always be special in my eyes.

I thought before
I could adore
Another heart but yours,
But now I see
It's not to be
That I should ever need more.

And now I dream
Though it may seem
Quite trite adressed in word,
Who's thought this way
Be it may
This feeling has never occurred.

Should it be quiet
And evermore silent
This expression I cannot ignore,
It's become a part
A piece of my heart
And it's you that it's aching for.

So now I show
This thing we know
To provoke controversial wars,
I'd like you to hear
This which I hold dear
Of all hearts mine beats for yours.

Before one should think
That he walks the true path
Perhaps he should not look ahead
But look upon the base which it started at,

For how can a path be so secure
If it's been paved by foolish youth
And not one can take an ounce of time
To look beneath for a buried truth.

Why should we not compare
How similar such a thing would be
To completely blind our biased eyes
And try to walk a path we cannot see,

If not with sense than perhaps with respect
Realize it's not what is ahead that we are trying to find
But if we were to simply retrace our steps
We'd see that the answer was merely a few paces behind.

First day in prison
So disgustingly clear
The sound, the smell
My premature hell
There can be no ambition here

It's lonely
A home to few
No home to me
If I could break free
But there is nothing I can do

The air is heavy
I cannot live this way
But my hopes have died
And my hands are tied
So for now I have to stay

Second day in prison
My world has been shaken
I'm starting to feel
A world surreal
From which no good can be taken

I'm waiting
But I don't know for what
And I don't know how long
My sense of time is gone
Yes, my eyes are now shut

I'm drowning
Or so it would seem
In a bleak sea
Or could it be
That it's all a simple dream

The solid rock is closing
Crushing my limbs
My eyes are shutting
The light turning dim

The beauty of nature
Shadowed by destiny
Grasping my soul
As the vain hopes flee

Ending the madness
A sacrafice is made
And the legend is carried
By the wind's serenade

A battle of emotion
A strife of will
When tears of the innocent
Make a beating heart still

Purity begins rising
The righteous take a stand
An army of faithful
Steady at their command

Rising for purpose
Rising for cause
Reforming our earth
Righting it's flaws

Never uncertain
Never without faith
Always equally providing
Working towards grace

Time will prove heavy
And lives will fall
But with our hearts to God
We'll rise above all

I knocked at the door of Sorrow today
For the Strength in my heart had slipped away,
He wearily opened the latch of Denial
And led me inside with a malevolent smile.
Every room was dim and small
A tinge of Regret tainted them all,
He asked me what I wanted from him
I told him the Time that had made me so grim.
This came as no Shock I could clearly see
So he laughed and remarked, "How Selfish of thee!"
His eyes were Cold and filled with Spite
He silently stared, his lips sealed tight,
He waited until my Patience wore thin
Than said, "Goodbye, we'll soon meet again."

She saw me as I fell
She watched my knees collapse
I saw the stone come near my face
I watched my listless past

She knew I would be taken
She felt my end lurked near
I knew her heart'd be broken
I felt she'd held me dear

She yelled out my name strongly
She screamed her disbelief
I could not yell or scream a note
For my throat had swelled with grief

She rejected the sight before her
She made her eyes turn blind
I regretted not telling her all the thoughts
That had now flooded my mind

She shouted the pain in her heart
But after, she whispered three words
In the midst of the raging pour
Three words were all I heard

She wanted to run away
She wanted to forget it all
I tried to make things better for her
I tried, but continued to fall

She stood as this was taking place
She walked like a child when it was done
I searched for a way to come back to her
I searched, but I found none

Her hands fell on my neck
Her lips fell on my cheek
She knew our time was short now
She softly began to speak

She spoke the depth of her soul
She spoke that her love would not quit
She spoke all that she'd held from herself
She spoke, and I heard every bit

She embraced me ever gently
Her tears pushed against my skin
She wept and solemnly accepted
That we would never come together again

Dimmer than jet the dress she wore
Against the raging wind the roses fought
And as the ground was closing above me
This was my very last thought:

She said she worried about me
She moved to wish me well
I said I'd live forever
I moved and then I fell

Lost in darkness
Hunted by pain
A feeling unfamiliar
So hard to explain
Shattered with horror
Pierced with hate
Crushed with guilt
An unbearable weight
A portrait of gloom
A canvas of despair
An artists rendition
Of an abject affair
A grueling effort
A hopeless cause
To spare our minds
A contemplative pause
Gradually recovering
Eager to restore
Healing our wounds
And preparing for more

This heart has tried
And has not won
The desires subside
It cannot be done
Shook with fear
Caged and cased
Bound to tear
From lasting disgrace
Unable to beat
Its freedom bound
Robbed of the heat
That could keep it sound
Defying emotion
It now lies hoarse
Hidden in an ocean
Of deep remorse
Only to cope
One dream to bear
Waiting in hope
For one to care

Would you have it
This way instead
I ask sincerely
Would you be a slave
In this disguised grave
In which the color is dead

My blood isn't red
And you can't see the tears
Falling on my hands
Or emotion on my face
I can't stay in a place
That is too dull for fear

If it suits you
Than it's no longer a choice
It will become fate
And as it is meant to be
You'll soon hear the melody
That drowns out my voice

I don't know
If you're scared of
The truth inside
I can't promise affection
I can't promise protection
But I can promise my love
