Oppressive
Darkness;
Looming
Like an elusive shadow
Creeping upon you;
Like a quiet shiver up your spine
Engulfing
Darkness;
Ominous
Like that dreaded truth
Or that moment of stillness
Between the white-hot flashes
And roaring thunder crashes
Your blood runs cold with fear
Your skin, as pale as death

For something
Profound
Something that made
The time
Just stop
One moment to forget the
Past, just
For one moment
One moment to feel whole
Again and
Just breathe
One moment to forget
What she could
Never
Forget before-- What she thought
She could never

Until now. Everything is fading away
Just remember

Her eyes close, she hears only
One word:

flickering around and around
it's all spiraling down
toward this collapse
toward this new ending
the darkness is closing in

certainty.
you know how this will end
then why are you still standing here?
you know you can't make time stand still
but maybe if you stay here, you won't
have to know what comes next.
this is how the story ends
with you gone and i'm still here
trying to stand on my own two feet
but the floor swallowed them whole last week
it's been eating me away for days
and the walls have been beating my body to a pulp
circling shadows

I have a song in my heart
It speaks the words I cannot utter
It lets me feel the things I can't even begin to feel
Like being in love,
Or being complete,
And not just broken.
I have a song in my heart
Let me play it,
Let me sing it,
Let me dance to it for you
But your eyes are blind;
Stone cold stare.
Your ears are deaf.
Your skin is hardened by past hurts.
Like a toughened leather,
Beaten down and burned in the hot sun
For days and days on end.
We both are broken.
Maybe together we can be even a little more whole.
I have this song in my heart.
It is about you.
It speaks the words my mouth could never utter.
It feels the things my heart
Coul
It's all so relative
This distant collapse
Renew and relapse
Take it all in
Begin again
Breathe in this sweet destruction
This loneliness is unending
And you're so condemning
Just smiles pretending
Give in and decay
This feeling's irrelevant
To reach is a swift descent
Try to deny this;
The feeling of emptiness
All that's left is an absence
I dare you, try to deny it
The taste of your lips
Doesn't destroy this
Your mind is an open book
With words set between the lines
So tell me, just tell me
What are you trying to hide?
Why are you so pensive?
What was the incentive?
Your mind is an open book
With words set between the lines
So tell me,
You fall from the sky.
So perfect, so beautiful.
Shining, reflecting, casting glimmers of light.
You reach the surface.
Make contact.
You shatter
Trickle down
Sink in
Dissolve
Evaporate
Condense
Repeat.
(How many lives has a droplet lived?)
So this is how it feels.
Burn me down in flames. Leave me here in ashes.
Dressed in decay. Wrapped in fire.
Your kiss like flint and tinder,
Igniting a spark, lighting a fire in my heart.
I didn't think it would come to this.
I didn't think it would hurt this much.
I didn't think it would reach so far.
I swear, I'm about to combust.
My insides writhing and charred.
It's so beautiful...
Like trees in autumn, when their leaves turn into fire,
They blow in the wind to find their final resting place.
They turn to into ash, turn to dust.
Sink into the earth.
So this is how it feels.
Burn me down in flames, leave me in ashes.
I wanted this.
