Theres this heart, somewhere
in this cold, hollow tomb. That
once beat, violently and hot.
That once loved with such a
passion leaving want behind.
In these now freezing veins
of mercury, once ran warmth
kissed with belief and hope.
Lies have taken from me, the
care , the worries, and any
hope I may have once had.
Be still now, life has moved
so quickly I can't keep up.
The pages turning rapidly 'neath
quaking fingers that blur the
words ever so violently.
Do they see me? Do they
see me as I lay here on this
cold night without stars?
Slipping further from my
own control, losing grip.
Were there tears shed for
my departure? Do any of
them remember the entity
I once was? When I was
young and sure of myself.
The wind rushes through my
hair and I see life as it once
was. In that place where the
sun smiled brightly on bronze
skin,Was this my own life once?
And I laugh now in bitter apathy,
The world watches and applauds
as the words tumble now from lips
that have quieted the truth so long
ago.Where secrets never depart.
They watch as I stumble to the
floor of this disheartened stage and
when my body lies still, they stand
in ovation for a granduer act performed.
And I slip away with them watching.
The crowd exits and again I am alone
beneath a starless sky, With the cold
north wind, calling my name. And a
crimson river crying to the stones 'neath
raven hair , hazel eyes and forgotten skin
The last breath sighs and the night is
forever closed around my immortal
dreams.No more pain, no more
confusion to wrap around my sketchy
mind, no more forgiveness, it is done.
