Beware the devil hidden from sight

In darkened shadows late at night
...

Glazed my eyes through lack of sleep

Coldness through my veins doth seep
...

She shines at parties, such a queen

Her hair all bright, her eyes they gleam
...

My frustrated heart it sometimes weeps
For the words I wish I could speak
To tell you how I am truly feeling
How desire for you it sends me reeling
...

The world to us is a disgrace,
No hope is there for the human race,
People fighting endless wars,
Through no reason, to settle scores,
...

Pale and wan was her face,
Her eyes a sultry green,
Her nose all bent and twisted,
Her black hair straggly unclean,
...

The clouds they drift in aimless sky
Upon this life of mine
The sun is shaded by hidden doubt
No matter how I try
...

Paint a picture of a rainbow,
And a bridge of cobbled stone,
And a lady on the riverbank,
Will surely set the tone,
...

The Foundling

Where are you mum?
Why without me did you leave?
...

As I walk this deathly silent place

My nerves on edge I start to shake
...

I am your conscience, I am your doubt
I am the words that just slip out
I am the reason, I am your fate
I am the one who has no forsake
...

I would like to find serenity
Upon some quiet shore
To feel the sand beneath my feet
And taste happiness once more
...

Once again in dreams I take a trip
Where all my hopes they reside
Among the emotions and feelings
I gladly take a ride
...

Betwixt these lines, I sense foreboding
Of unspoken words I am supposing
Where things now done, may bring you dismay
What change would you have made I say?
...

The tears they flow, sadness it comes

As this nightmare once more I gaze upon
...

My self esteem gone, my senses shattered
No reason to believe, for nothing matters
I am a nobody, I was such a fool
To think that everyone follows rules
...

Hollow emptiness, dire straits,

Dark is the mood that it creates,
...

I wonder is this all just a dream
A love so good may not be as it seems
Am I in awe for fear of falling
Or holding back from loves own calling
...

My body it lies within this grave

My flesh it is rotten, and so decayed
...

Pour scorn upon my weary mind

With remarks so cold and so unkind
...
