I knew many shades of midnight
But I never knew one so black until
The night I saw his eyes
Through those months
...
Mind and heart in a relentless battle
Animosity of anger and pain
Seep through the spectral lands
Souls call helpless from the sidelines
...
My nerves shackle my body to discontent
Mind and heart draw their weapons
My soul the referee of maliscious intentions
Wondering if any truth will be the same again
...
My eyes were never truly open
My mouth has never taken a real breath
I wonder what really was or might have been
My world is dreams
...
These memories come
No matter how I lock them out
This is my prison
My garden for shame
...
Faces around me blur
Voices surround me with slurring words
My grip is slipping, but which
My life or my sanity
...
Blue reflections of earth and sky
Trickle along the world
Consuming a sight oft not beheld
Cherries of scarlet blood sing a song of hope
...
Watching you watching her makes me fortunes fool
In the middle of it all I fell in love with you
You gave me dreams that now won’t come true
You gave me back hope
...
Sitting alone by a stream
I heard a movement and appeased my curiosity
I saw the world flowing
Until the clouds lifted and
...
Every day brings something new
Some small fraction that goes unnoticed
But tonight that’s just not the case
It feels as if part of my world has been ripped away
...
