The Broken Glass

Say goodbye as i disintegrate,
Gazing at the world with defeated eyes,
I crumble away but my reflection remains,
Behind the cracked glass with unheard cries.

The shadows' mockery echoed through my soul,
They watched as my fingers bled when reaching for the light,
They knew the truth but said nothing,
As the salvation i longed for turned into fires of white.

With trembling hands i let go of the edge,
Falling back into the abyss with hope's incarnate, 
The familiar numbness wrapped itself around me, 
While i watched her suffocate and finally greet death.

My kingdom, my people, they welcome me home,
The freezing embrace of darkness the first to appear,
Holding me tight like an abandoned lover,
Telling me not to leave and that i have nothing more to fear.

Turned away and forgotten by the world outside the mirror,
I dance to this intoxicating rhapsody as I seal the way out,
Vowing never again to leave the only place i belonged,
Destroying the mirror without anymore doubts. 

'Never forget that you are alone'
 Alice whispered into my ear,
'Do not make them prove it to you again..
Don't let them see a single tear.'

With hands as cold as a corpse,
I entwine my fingers with hers,
Walking into the realm where she was queen,
Insanity, a blessing and a curse. 

Say goodbye as i disintegrate,
Gazing at the world with defeated eyes,
I crumble away but my reflection remains,
Behind the cracked glass with unheard cries.

Two Types Of People

Within this hollow world,
Tell me who am I to envy,
Those alive but never lived,
Or those entrapped by what they feel and see?

Seconds,hours,years,
They mean nothing to them,
Burnt but never scorched,
Such were the descendants of man.

Going about their lives,
Grabbing at senseless things,
Only to pleasure pride and greed,
Then blaming others for the misfortune they bring.

Words so sharp they tear and slash,
Inflicting pain they could not feel,
Building towers to stand upon,
With the blood of others, they signed their deals.

To not understand pain,
Nor suffering so cruel,
Should they be the ones I envy?
Or should i pity those poor fools?

As for the caged and forlorn,
Dying each day from sorrow and grief,
Speak to me the voices that taunt them,
When oblivion brings them sleep.

Speaking every language,
They translate the essence of beauty,
Into both canvas and stone,
That survive even centuries.

Genius and madness meet at last,
Yet struck by suffering as payment,
Paralyzed from enduring wounds that never heal,
Wishing for gifts only death could send.

Inflicting wounds that leak numbness,
Tired of every spoken lie,
But never daring to cut that last thread,
Afraid to live, afraid to die.

So sing me to sleep,
Away from this inversed world,
Leave me to rest beneath the soil,
Never having to watch ugly truths unfurl.

By The Water's Edge

An endless sunset lies before us,
Beyond the horizon, the sweetest dream,
Breathe its warmth and engulf the spray of the sea,
The gift of the Gods, so serene.

Count the sands to turn back time,
A wish thats so desired,
To tides that reached heaven's skies,
The waves tuned to an angel's lyre.

Trapped in time, adorning the shores,
Intricate gems embed themselves,
Returning to dust upon command,
Are multicoloured seashells.

In the light of the full moon,
Does the water glow and glisten,
The birds that serenade the fish to sleep,
One would truly miss them.

Gentle does the breezes blow,
Making the reeds wave in tune,
To dance, to bend, to sway all night,
To the wind, do they gaily swoon.

Death

"Let him consume you"
The shadows whisper as i die,
Intoxicated by my own fading breath,
I look death straight in the eyes.

I see more than just darkness,
Oblivion in its sweetest form,
I see more than just hatred,
Salvation that could hail a storm.

Staggering to my feet,
I sway to his sweet melody,
Where the notes bleed crimson,
Transforming screams into a rhapsody.

With lips as cold as ice,
He skimmed along my neck so pale,
Gracing all the bruises from my past,
Erasing the memories of a bitter tale.

Take away all my sorrow,
Take away all my pain,
Take me from this accursed world,
Cage me in your domain.

As i embrace his ghostly being at last,
My own turns to dust,
He whispers in my ear to not be afraid,
As i scattered with the sudden gust.

Entwined forever within his world,
Of which my sanity had graciously surrendered,
Desired dreams had finally come to life,
Only to wither away with visions blurred. 

Murdered Trust

A disintegrated longing,
A sentence never uttered,
A single broken promise,
Yet plenty of hurtful words.

Take a fleeting look at my anger
I hope it burns your eyes out
Take a lingering look at these tears
Who's the one crying now?

You promised me the world,
But clipped my wings behind my back,
Serenaded me with sweet sweet words,
Then made my sanity crack.

Barely standing before you
Completely utterly lost
Like a broken baby bird
In the raging storm tossed.

All i had was my faith in you,
But it was mercilessly slaughtered and killed,
Abandoned and left to drown in tears,
Have you finally had your fill?

The demons come calling
They seek to torment
You've severed my faith
It's too late to repent.

As time turns to dust,
And dreams turn into nothing,
Watch as shadows embrace me,
Mocking as they cut the puppet's strings.

Why didn't you kill me?
My heart longs to devour thee
Why leave me as a monster?
A reflection of what's left of me.

Erase me from this world,
Haven't I suffered enough?
With bloody lips i say goodbye,
To what i thought was once love.

Back Again

Once again the sky grows dark,
Light abandoning this greyish realm,
Shadows return to their sacred homeland,
Malice and sorrow overwhelm.

What was pure now ashen black,
As peace now flees from chaos,
The midnight flame rips open old wounds,
The pain then engulfed the lost.

Everything, everything torn into bits,
They submit to this chain reaction,
A result of an endless pit of lies,
This terrible act of self destruction.

'Welcome home, mistress' they cackle in glee,
Their souless beings gather,
The familiar ice crept into me,
Numbing everything that ever mattered.

Frost and snow appeared at last,
Blanketing the damage done by rage,
Turning anguish and sorrow into beauty,
Continuing from its severed page.

Isolated and frozen, my heart remembers well,
Though the pages are tattered and torn,
But just a glance with tear filled eyes,
One would not read but mourn.

Deep down in this forsaken trench,
I'm back in my abyss,
Clipping away what once were wings,
And kissing the light goodbye with bloody lips.

Final moments

Just one shot,
And it was all gone,
No more games, no more pain,
It was the end of the song.

That ringing blast,
Echoing in my ears,
As metal his flesh,
There's no time for tears.

Say goodbye,
The split second of a breath,
Inhaling those last moments,
Right before greeting death.

Lights flash like stars,
Twinkling out of sight,
Just like my own miserable life,
Pitch black against the light.
