It Won'T Be Anytime Soon... Poem by Lynn El Amine

Water drops
Streaming down my cheek
Red lights
They burn and burn
I look at the crystal
Wipe away the tears
Close my eyes
Enough for tonight

Dream.

My only escape
Is the world of wonder
So I gaze into emptiness
Where a dark silhouette appears
Step by step
The demon in you approaches me
But I see what I want to see
What I wish could be…

Your head bent down
Sinking in snow
Chained
A crashed airplane is what I see
Killing with you
The souls that need to be set free

The night is silent
No screaming stars
I bend down to look into your eyes
Only to see
You're another version of me
Me, me, me
Your hands holding the sword
My neck, ready to die
Under the fallen dusk, the fallen sky

My crimson pearls
Tempting your eyes
Fireflies light the night of my passing

Another nightmare
Another stressful pillow
You laugh and stare
At my cry for help
My overflowing sorrow

So I wake at last
Three hours have passed…

Here I am
Slow dancing with my friends of the dark
Until the beast in you is unleashed
Attacking my wounded heart

Fire

Flames of hate released
You win
Yet another sin
How can you be so relieved?

After each war
I'm back to square one
Innocent tears turn into a roar
In your benefit, the bottle's always spun

Your dictation
Me, another victim
Searching for a cave
To dump all of my pain in

But you and your gates
Stop me after each escape
Trapped in your maze
Your dark blooded hand
Invading me, invading my land

Here and there I witness
The killing of beauty
The breaking of all smiles
Feeding me your poison of cruelty
Inhaling all of your lies

Maybe one day
My soft cries will cradle you
But have no fear
My dear
It won't be anytime soon…
