Forever and Never

 

I am the tide you cannot bind
a love forever untold
a secret laid at your feet
a whisper sounding crisper
like madness taking over sadness.

I am a fever, a believer
the calm before dawn
I am mother and daughter
I am lover and the other
loneliness and actress.

I am nature, I am closure
I am the tear you most fear
the touch that is too much
I am the scream you dream
the death defying rath

an itch you cannot scratch
I am the heart you tore apart...
I am the word you cannot speak
the concept you cannot grasp.
I am forever and I am never.

A Story

 

The stories I had to tell

are muffled by the cold

they were all I had to sell

but shall remain untold

I don't want to go outside

I want to be left alone

with all the dreams that died

before they were known...

there is nothing left to share

no more tears, no more love...

it's all up in the cold air

but it's what you can't get rid of

and the clock strikes eleven

while I'm sitting on the couch

longing to be forgiven

and I slouch and slouch...

I give up and give in to sleep

and as I lay quietly in bed

I realize there's no love nor heat

it was something you said

there's nothing left inside of me

I have no life, I have no time

nothing left for me to see

I'm a victim of a foul crime

you left and never looked back

the tears cut through my face

no one here to pick up the slack

nothing left but an empty space

that will never again be filled

because there is nothing left

what I tore down I can't rebuild

and what you said I cannot forget...

The End of the World

 

I was told the world would end today
But today dawned and today set
and still I am here feeling this way

Each hour that passed I would fret
but the world did not end this day
even though others thought it may

I sat in silence imagining death
I think it will end another day
but obviously not today.

the hour struck and I held my breath
but the world refused to end that day
no matter what anyone had to say

Now I sit and wonder when will it end?
it ended for you with a lie
it will end for me when I die.

My Dreams

 

My dreams cut the night

like the sun's piercing light.

They hurt my eyes

and are filled with lies.

They haunt me

and taunt me

but still I'm in my bed

living inside my head...
