Crying In The Dark

Under the cover of darkness,

Does the mask turn to dust,

Open the floodgates,

And let them rust.

Dark feelings resurface,

Hurt and betrayal,

When one feels all this,

Does he still believe in angels?

Memories appear,

That were long forgotten,

They bring chaos with them,

As you witness your own destruction.

Unleash those feelings,

For this moment, right now,

Under this cover of darkness,

To no one, you shall bow.

But when the light returns,

The mask will find its way back,

The gates will close,

And from within they'll attack.

Until they're released,

They won't quiet down,

When the shadows are gone,

Your spirit will be bound.

Words of discouragement,

Its poison seeps in,

They tie you down,

And torture you, within.

Put the pain in a bottle,

Close it for now,

Be on your way,

Resume the facade, most foul.

Its about to bubble over,

The lid itself is trembling,

The gates are about to burst open,

The cycle, again is beginning.

Go to your corner,

Turn off the lights,

Let no one see you,

As you slowly die inside.

Hidden

Its all pointless,

Why try at all,

We were born to suffer,

From the moment we could crawl.

Would you call life, fair?

When you're just choking with pain,

Inner screams are drowned out,

While hopes and dreams are slain.

Left with nothing,

What could you feel?

Despair? Anger?

Or emotions unreal?

Fair warning,

Reality is where you are,

Control those emotions,

Or you won't get far.

Hide the hurt,

Hide your past,

Hide what you feel,

Put on that mask.

Soldier on and deceive,

The world around you,

Bottle everything inside,

So they won't have a clue.

How twisted you are,

How frustrated inside,

So tired of everyone,

That you'd rather just die.

The never ending facade,

The mounting sorrow,

I pray for you, dear one,

For the strength to endure tomorrow.

Hear Me Cry

Can you hear me cry?

Tears of sorrow and pain?

Here, stuck in the past,

Inaudible by the rain.

Can you tell me,

Why did you say,

I wasn't important enough,

In every possible way...

I wonder, where we will go,

Will we ever be the same,

If we go our separate ways,

I wonder who's to blame?

After all this time,

Can you hear me cry?

When all you said,

Were nothing but lies.

Can you hear me cry?

Tears of a broken heart,

How did it feel?

When you tore it apart?

My Best Friend

Even if my memories fade,
Even if my heart stopped beating,
Even if I forget the story of us,

I will always remember that feeling.

My pillar of strength,

My heart's secret keeper,

My guardian of hope,

For which my feelings grow deeper.

You won't let me fall,

That much I know,

So hold my hand tight,

And never let me go.

In many ways,

I love you so,

But i fear one day,

You really might go.

Who am I to stop you,

If there's someone else out there,

You deserve the best,

If it makes you happy, I don't care.

Break my heart,

Turn it to dust,

I'll do anything to see that smile,

Even IF breaking it myself is a must.

Your my best friend,

And i love you in more ways than one,

But i know one day,

Our friendship will be done...

What brought the fire...(Part 2)

The Dollmaker,

The creator of that monstrosity,

Was killing Wonderland,

Leaving Alice full of fury.

The vorpal blade,

Served her quite well,

One by one,

Her enemies fell.

The journey,

Through the corruption and ruin,

Gave her strength,

Enough to face him.

The cause of her madness,

The cause of the fire,

Off with his head!

Death to the liar!

Back in London,

Where the Jabberwock was none,

Where nobody spoke of cabbages and kings,

Did Alice break into a run.

Off to the Dollmaker!

Who makes children forget,

A mere toy they've become,

Where they're sold to pedophiles at the highest bet.

The Looking Glass Line,

Was now set in motion,

Hear its steam,

Hear its commotion.

She pushed him,

Yes, she did!

Right in front of the train, it was!

Hope he didn't survive! God forbid!

How strange everything is now,

A hybrid of London and Wonderland,

Her memories though damaged are safe,

Here in Londerland.

Tsk,tsk, Alice,

The damage can't be undone,

Your as mad as a hatter,

But all the best people are, hun.

Her

I hate to see her smile,

Her laugh could break glass,

She's always getting on my nerves,

God knows how long this'll last.

Watching me,

From the corner of her eye,

Content from my jealous rage,

With intentions oh so sly.

I hate her,

For taking what's important to me,

Her and her forceful ways,

Why can't she let me be?!

The war is on,

That's long been known,

The question is, who won?

Our true colors have shown.

Fight or flight?

Is now the question proposed,

Is it too late?

To save a wilted rose?

Pick your fights wisely,

I've heard time and time again,

But I have no choice,

But to venture inside the devil's den.

My Replacement

Hilarious, isn't she?

Optimistic and great.

Not a downer or a burden,

I tried to change, but its too late.

She had taken my place,

Don't say I didn't try,

I did all i could to prevent it,

But I lost grip as time went by.

Forget about me,

Make room for her,

You'll do so anyway,

It'll be all a blur.

I won't intrude,

I won't say a thing,

I'll be well behaved,

Even to the annoyance she brings.

The behavior of a child,

An active kleptomaniac,

To think you picked her,

Makes you a total brainiac.

God bless you,

And your most interesting choice,

I don't want to leave,

But i no longer have a voice.

I wish you well,

Be on your way,

But if she ever hurts you,

She'll have hell to pay!
