Everlasting

Your heart was a casualty of war
mine was sacrificed for truth,
where in this mess lies beauty,
is it dead too?
was it just a mask ugliness wore
to seduce the mind?

In the garden agony grows wild
tears reach the roots of evil
no seed was ever planted
it just grew
and grew
a monster is born

Trapped inside myself searching for you
you're here, somewhere
I can hear you,
whispering about the past
screaming about the future,
I will silence you

Nothing in me lives,
except you
everything else is dead,
decaying and rightfully so
yet you and that voice wont disappear
so I swim through my mind
looking for that place where memories dwell
trying to neutralize the pain
