we enter
Death's blossoming tomb
where the context of words
spin slowly among solitude
darkness swallows our eyes
and whispers to the rhythm
of a heart beat
a whisper of immortality
lifeless reflections
forced between
the wrath of ancient screams
that bind our hands in deceit
a punishment
for letting the truth become
complete
balancing the future under a razorblade
the world shall perish
within our breath
to the sound of vile static
an eclipse strong enough
to block out the light
of the soul
the city burned
in our eyes
while a masquerade
of dead stars
ignited a ravished sky
throughout a world
of waste and complexity
we bled profusely
she and I
under a hollow moon
that screamed like a razor
down my spine
while my heart asked
“Were you really ready to die?”
and still the city burned
right before my eyes
Darkness, darkness, follows me,
Blinding, ever more,
Drowning in that somber sea,
Will I ever reach the shore.
The void encloses, minds erase,
Floating, floating past.
Lost forever in that space,
Finding nothing will last.
Step after step my feet carry me,
Where I'll never know
What can this monster really be?
The monster I'll never show.
Hold my breath and close my eyes,
I wont see the light
The monster rages in these lies
Waiting for a fight.
So for now, we see, the trees as they blow,
The dances of the grass below
Holding so fast to the emptiness,
Holding on, holding on, to what we'll never know.

Whirlpool of Expectations
Tighter and tighter I clutch to my pillow hoping my placebo of a presence might help ease the pain away. But as long as there will be a beat in my chest, as long as I will live to feel, this pain will feed off me.
Like a small child standing in a hallway with thin duct tape stripes over his lips in the shape of an X, forced to see, forced to take in but not reflect back.
How the gravity of the ground under his feet helps his knees to not let his stature crash to the floor with every blow he absorbs, I hold onto my pillow.
Like one of those lamps hang from the ceiling and swing back and forth in a dark room, with nothing but a table and cha
These feelings from within come through to the air
And fill the sounds on my ears
I hear your voice and it makes me smile
I see you there and it comforts me
If i could tell you how i truly feel
Would it hurt you beyond all reason
That i cannot do to you are my one and only
But what am i to you?
Words cannot say how i feel for you
My heart is trapped inside a cage of steel
If i could i would give the world to hear you say
That you feel the same way
In a perfect world inside my head
You and i are together in love
In reality it is far from so
And it hurts to be like this
But there is comfort and there is joy
Just by being near y
I dreamt I loved u
I dreamt
That my thoughts were consumed with you
That my heart skipped a beat when I saw you
Hell, it skipped a beat at the thought of you
Fuck, it skipped a beat at the mention of your name
I dreamt
That our fairy tale started
When you asked me out and I said yes
And you took me to this casually nice restaurant
You only paid attention to me
And didn't seem to notice any other girl in the room
And I smiled
I dreamt
That when we went away to school
We continued our fairy tale
You called practically everyday
When a call wasn't possible
I got an email with a song
To let me know you were thinking abou
He watches as the snowflake falls with grace
And wonders when time lost it's pace
The lonely moon glares down on the face
The face of a boy who has lost the race
The train whistle blows as the trees dance in the wind
Railway tracks, soon to hold a grave weight
Tears fall gently, unheard by ears of those who sinned
He takes the step to find his fate
Reaching out, he grasps the air
Eyelids loose, he ceases to care
No longer is his mind clouded with fears
He's seen too much, and can't take the tears
His lips mouth the words he cannot bear to say
He chants one last goodbye
Spread the wings, he wishes he could fly
Freedom lies on t
I have so much to tell you
but not just any words will do.
You leave me just so speechless.
Where'd you learn, no one can teach this.
How do I say to you
that every little thing you do
takes me to a place above new?
How to say it best is, I love you.
I tell you all my secrets;
my loves, my fears and my regrets.
You share my joys and my laughter
making me feel you'll love me even long after.
There aren't enough words in my language
to express our love but we'll manage.
Will I ever be able to explain
how I feel when you say my name?
How do i say to you
that every little thing you do
takes me to a place above new?
How to say it best is, I lo
Freedom buried
Breath taken away
Acid rain falls
On plastic civilisation
What was once
A hope for distant truth
Became spoiled
And unimportant to all
Now the blindness
Spreads across all faces
It drains fragile
Children of their sleep
In pursuit of might
In struggle for beauty
We let rotten bodies
To walk on our heads
And there is no light
Nor darkness to remember
Only gray tombs
With their golden mantras
Engraved to confuse
The dead left behind
