Dark and Dark is down below,
Echoing casually on the wing of a Crow.
Enter the Deep and never return;
Play with Shadows until you burn.
...

Gazing through the glass.
For the longest time, I couldn’t touch you.
Looking back, it all makes sense,
But until that night no dream of mine came true.
...

Broken Promises boil in the recesses of a storm,
Churning in the gray mind, the sadness.
Is this the worst thing?
...

Drowning in a place
Drowning in emotion
Extend a hand for me
Or do you not know me?
...

The love song playing on the radio serenades me
And I think only of you, your embrace.
My eyes close and I’m taken away
To be with you, to hold you.
...

Nobody can know this pain I bear
As I watch the couple walk together
He closes his eyes
And kisses her forehead.
...

A wailing, a screaming, a ripping inside
It happens too often and I’m losing my grip
An infested stinking vortex of hate
Consumes the love I try to plant
...

An ancient little man with wrinkles in his skin
Toiled up a mountain, calling upon strength within.
His breath was quick and his muscles strained,
His legs were weary and his chest was pained.
...

Am I good enough?
Do we see the same, do we feel the same?
I feel that it could be
But we both have to make it work
...

Gazing through the glass.
For the longest time, I couldn’t touch you.
Looking back, it all makes sense,
But until that night no dream of mine came true.
...

We're too different,
You and I.
Chocolate and vanilla,
Hello and goodbye.
...
