They dance as the rain falls
They kiss under the moonlight
no one see’s for there is a wall
that blocks this fateful night

Everyone longs for this dream
in hopes it will come true
They want the shining gleam
but for now they wait for a clue

They gaze into each other’s eyes
not saying a word
letting the sun rise
listening to the birds

Thinking about this
makes people say
they need this bliss
so they can get away

Death is a word no one speaks
for fear it will catch them and they will shriek
screaming “not yet!” although it is time
to pay for their devilish crime
No one knows what happens after this
it’s just a cloudy abyss
death doesn’t come on que
maybe next it will be you.

I fell into a dark hole
wondering how to get out

it’s weird
the things you learn
the people you miss
the things you appreciate

the places you wish to go
the sites you want to see
the ones that make you smile
and who you wish to be

it’s strange
what goes through the mind
when it thinks about all
that's happened in its time

wondering what will happen next
then you see a way out  
and you think to yourself
what is life really about
