The Broken Glass
Say goodbye as i disintegrate,
Gazing at the world with defeated eyes,
I crumble away but my reflection remains,
Behind the cracked glass with unheard cries.
The shadows' mockery echoed through my soul,
They watched as my fingers bled when reaching for the light,
They knew the truth but said nothing,
As the salvation i longed for turned into fires of white.
With trembling hands i let go of the edge,
Falling back into the abyss with hope's incarnate,
The familiar numbness wrapped itself around me,
While i watched her suffocate and finally...

Two Types Of People
Within this hollow world,
Tell me who am I to envy,
Those alive but never lived,
Or those entrapped by what they feel and see?
Seconds,hours,years,
They mean nothing to them,
Burnt but never scorched,
Such were the descendants of man.
Going about their lives,
Grabbing at senseless things,
Only to pleasure pride and greed,
Then blaming others for the misfortune they bring.
Words so sharp they tear and slash,
Inflicting pain they could not feel,
Building towers to stand upon,
With the blood of others, they signed their...

By The Water's Edge
An endless sunset lies before us,
Beyond the horizon, the sweetest dream,
Breathe its warmth and engulf the spray of the sea,
The gift of the Gods, so serene.
Count the sands to turn back time,
A wish thats so desired,
To tides that reached heaven's skies,
The waves tuned to an angel's lyre.
Trapped in time, adorning the shores,
Intricate gems embed themselves,
Returning to dust upon command,
Are multicoloured seashells.
In the light of the full moon,
Does the water glow and glisten,
The birds that serenade...
Beyond the horizon, the sweetest dream,

Death
"Let him consume you"
The shadows whisper as i die,
Intoxicated by my own fading breath,
I look death straight in the eyes.
I see more than just darkness,
Oblivion in its sweetest form,
I see more than just hatred,
Salvation that could hail a storm.
Staggering to my feet,
I sway to his sweet melody,
Where the notes bleed crimson,
Transforming screams into a rhapsody.
With lips as cold as ice,
He skimmed along my neck so pale,
Gracing all the bruises from my past,
Erasing the memories of a bitter tale. ...

Murdered Trust
A disintegrated longing,
A sentence never uttered,
A single broken promise,
Yet plenty of hurtful words.
Take a fleeting look at my anger
I hope it burns your eyes out
Take a lingering look at these tears
Who's the one crying now?
You promised me the world,
But clipped my wings behind my back,
Serenaded me with sweet sweet words,
Then made my sanity crack.
Barely standing before you
Completely utterly lost
Like a broken baby bird
In the raging storm tossed.
All i had was my faith in you,
But it was...
A sentence never uttered,
A single broken promise,
Yet plenty of hurtful words.
Take a fleeting look at my anger
I hope it burns your eyes out
Take a lingering look at these tears
Who's the one crying now?
You promised me the world,
But clipped my wings behind my back,
Serenaded me with sweet sweet words,
Then made my sanity crack.
Barely standing before you
Completely utterly lost
Like a broken baby bird
In the raging storm tossed.
All i had was my faith in you,

Back Again
Once again the sky grows dark,
Light abandoning this greyish realm,
Shadows return to their sacred homeland,
Malice and sorrow overwhelm.
What was pure now ashen black,
As peace now flees from chaos,
The midnight flame rips open old wounds,
The pain then engulfed the lost.
Everything, everything torn into bits,
They submit to this chain reaction,
A result of an endless pit of lies,
This terrible act of self destruction.
'Welcome home, mistress' they cackle in glee,
Their souless beings gather,
The familiar ice crept into...

Final Moments
Just one shot,
And it was all gone,
No more games, no more pain,
It was the end of the song.
That ringing blast,
Echoing in my ears,
As metal his flesh,
There's no time for tears.
Say goodbye,
The split second of a breath,
Inhaling those last moments,
Right before greeting death.
Lights flash like stars,
Twinkling out of sight,
Just like my own miserable life,
Pitch black against the light.
And it was all gone,
No more games, no more pain,
It was the end of the song.
That ringing blast,
Echoing in my ears,
As metal his flesh,
There's no time for tears.
Say goodbye,
The split second of a breath,
Inhaling those last moments,
Right before greeting death.
Lights flash like stars,
Twinkling out of sight,
Just like my own miserable life,
Pitch black against the light.

Round and Round
Round and round this ride doth go,
Faster and faster then it did before,
It creaks and groans under the weight it bore,
Dismantling itself till it was no more.
Round and round it goes alone,
Till even the trees had turned to stone,
Hidden and abandoned, its existence never known,
Through the years, only its pain had grown.
Be rid of this world, is what it wished,
Spinning faster and faster on its little axis,
A strange creature that no one will miss,
It wanted to greet death with a welcoming kiss.
Insanity is poison, insanity is...
Faster and faster then it did before,
It creaks and groans under the weight it bore,
Dismantling itself till it was no more.
Round and round it goes alone,
Till even the trees had turned to stone,
Hidden and abandoned, its existence never known,
Through the years, only its pain had grown.
Be rid of this world, is what it wished,
Spinning faster and faster on its little axis,

Insanity
All the demons had their fun,
Now my soul is dead and gone,
Watch my hopes go into flames,
one by one.
Feel the darkness creeping in,
Shadows come to claw at skin,
Life was slowly draining from me,
Sayonara,
Hello, my dear child,
You seem familiar,
Have we met before,
Lay your broken heart,
Into oblivion,
Close your eyes now.
Insanity,
Time itself is dying.
Psychopathy,
I am fading into nothing.
Insanity,
Memories turn into dust.
Captivity,
Why don't you just surrender...
...
Now my soul is dead and gone,

HomeComing
The smell of rain reaches not this land,
Neither does beauty nor love,
Ugly things come forth from darkness,
As it is forgotten by the world above.
Once upon a time did this magic place prosper,
Based upon an intricate matrix,
Now that the catalyst had turned to dust,
Blood and poison is all that will mix.
One cannot say this place as barren,
For the beings here are not dead,
But neither are they truly living,
They no longer know fear nor dread.
Tears have fallen,
Tears have dried,
Old wounds torn open,
Because of...

How?
Look in the mirror,
What do you see?
What lies before you?
Or what they wanted you to be?
Scars of the past,
Have not yet faded away,
Retraced by trembling fingers,
The memories are still here to stay.
Sealed in a box,
Locked deep beneath the surface,
The whispers of a prayer,
To finally find a purpose.
Tell me how to breathe,
Once the air is poisoned,
Tell me how to dream,
When everything is dashed and broken.
With bloodied nails that stain the walls,
They grasp for the slightest hope,
Ten thousand...

Always The Same
A single window,
A thousand tears,
Stained in scarlet,
Painted with fear.
The window's sealed shut,
Frosted from the inside,
Purple-blue fingers try to scrape away,
Layer after layer of ice.
There is no escape,
There is no going back,
Its too late to regret,
When your bones begin to crack.
So it begins,
Death comes slow,
Agonizing as always,
But neither friend nor foe.
Under the snow,
Piled up so high,
Were others like you,
That were living to die.
What would you see,
Through the...
