Caught in the Shadow of Darkness

Stars falling...
Fear dropping...
Light passes through.

Energy wasted...
Time useless...
Light passes through.

Generations lost...
Civilizations found...
Light passes through.

Stamina gained...
Lives restrained...
Light passes through.

Enemies are loathed...
Clocks are dusted...
Light passes through.

Lifeless at the hilt...
Bearing no line of sight...
Light passes through.

Find Me

Follow Me... No, I really shouldn't. Follow Me... No, it really wouldn't be prudent. Ahh, c'mon, Follow Me.. Is it gunna hurt? Silly question, Follow Me: True, I guess I should learn to love again. Here we float in a state of bliss, nothing he's ever felt like this... So pure, so true, so everything in you. Follow Me... For why, and where, do we need to go? Follow Me, I've never mislead you in the past. No, you're correct, you've taught me love in it's purest. Now at this time we are at a fork in the road. Don't Follow Me, for we never were... You should have known. BJS -- 2kXI Dutch

Once here, Suddenly gone

The taste of salt that streams down your cheeks keeps your heart skipping beats. Rapidly your chest begins to cave in on itself. At first you feel that it’s just the shortness of breath and the tightening of your lungs, then you realize that the hole in your chest where you heart once lay is imploding on itself.

It encapsulates your entire existence in a blanket of love that turns into a straight jacket of self-loathing pain and a justified comfort that you’re all too accepting of. What makes this stop? Who makes you grab yourself and extract you from this life as you know it and save yourself? Most will say you have to do it on your own; but the likeliness of that is slim to none. The Devil that wears Prada holds the key to the heart that has never won. Falling once again into the abyss of everything that hurts, everything made sense ...

She'll Lead Me To The End

Draggin' myself through the bitter-sweet nectar of life. - Feelin' no strife. - Can't find the one I will call wife. - Launching through clouds through the supposed glory of life. - Not quite able to open my eyes My heart is molded to her specification. But yet she leaves it without prediction. No, I don't see it; perhaps I shoulda kept my eyes open all along. I can't feel it, I've lost my inner song. "Rush, Rush hurry lover come to me" That's what she needed to tend her wounds Now I carry the wreckage that lies and coos. There was a space kept in my soul Heavy chested I can't feel it no mo' There's nothing one can do To undo what she did do I'm not tryin' to say this to in efforts to get to you, but once there was a love as true as could be Now it's just a slain pain that cuts right through me Razor sharp that splits the skin A cool beveled blade attempts to reveal what's within A whole nothing all lost because of the v...
