Hourglass Door

I lay here thinking, listening
The silence burns through my mind, shattering the echos of my thoughts
A bitter harsh lie becomes a truth never thought before
A chance I see the light, so far, so close
Stuck in between time and space, a confusion so strong I loose sight

Falling and standing, both going no where
Taken and thrown, both ending with a pain so high
Emotions buried beneath a land of fake reality, pretend for real
The only escape being a knife and a path

The lonely bridge awaits the ones who come and go
A lonely mind awaits the ones who come to please
Yet to only bring pain as they leave
A lonely hand awaits another, to feel the warmth of skin
Yet to only be let down by the cold it leaves behind

An endless fear strikes my eyes as I run, getting no where
Turning around never stopping, pictures of memories flying by
Moving around holding the past, a future never known
Walls of glass broken down by the touch of change
Hourglass doors bending and twisting in an in between present

Blood trickles down as I watch the past fall with it
A blade making a dent in both physical and emotional time
A reality hiding the scars to bring a fake happiness
Changing reality and pretend and binding together
A door falling over, showing all is lost, all is gone
No going back, only going forward blindly
No help from the past for it's gone, a future soon to be

Mind shattering with the echos of the past, memories gone
Watching them leave, tearing piece by piece, one by one
Another gone, another comes, happiness taken, sorrow left
A trail of misery, the end lying by my feet
No more steps given, I'm at the end of the road
Looking down below, blackness and enchantment

One thing left, one last step, then a fall never knowing an end
I watch as It changes, the floor now gone, a past never to see a future
Twisting a breaking the boards turn with the chimes of time
Taken by the hand and letting go, falling to see what was left behind
Splashing into the lake of fire, burning  and seeing the pictures unwind
Trying to change what has already been done, now a disaster of the to come

Memories leave the mind of whats now, the past has been damaged
A lesson t o be learned that never has been, time forsaken
Some are now gone, some are now here, some never knowing what could have been
The past has been changed, memories now gone, forever in a hollow shell
Empty with regret, full of sorrow, wish for going back, but there is only one problem
There is no going back, there is no fix, as they say, what's done is done
