Restoration
Look at me.
It's back again
It's worse than back then
Don't you see
I'm in this on my own
Cause I want to be alone
Just don't forget me when I'm gone
When I'm six feet under where I belong
No I'm not going to disappear
But one day, all shall perish
And no one will be near
And the earth shall then cherish
Its own natural beauty once more....
Death
When Death has its grip
No one can escape its grasp
When Death has a hold of you
There is nowhere to hide
People try as they may
Cannot escape the Fate of Life
Even as they improve their well-being
They're only postponing the inevitable
When Death sneaks up
When it chooses its time
It will be done
And even as peopl try
They cannot refuse their Fate
It is as involuntary as birth
You can runb ut you can never hide
Death always finds his next victim
Try as you may
Try as you might
Everyone faces the terrible fright
Be not afraid, for all must die
My Life
Controlling me as puppetry
Leaving me nothing of my own
Something I can control
Just leave me alone
I know I may fail
Stop living my life
I don't care, may even impale
Impaling with a knife
Give me back my life!
Leave me to my ways!
passing along the knife!
Living life through the days!
Take what's your but leave me one thing.
Only one thing that I want.
Give me my life to me.
Take anything but my life.
Let me live in my failure
Taking it one failure at a time.
Just give me back what's mine
Give me back my life!
Leave me to m ways!
Passing along the knife!
Living life throguh the days!
What do you want?
Me to succumb to your demands?
Stop the power you flaunt.
Get away from me with your hands.
Leave me to my life.
Leave me in my fate.
Leave me on my face.
Leave me to be free.
"Veiled Emotions"
Shadows are forever
They never leave your side
Even in pure darkness or brightness
They are forever there
Bound forever to my person.
Darkness, that of secrecy.
Hides many things well.
Such things as my emotions.
Those that I'll someday tell.
I lay in darkness until then.
Secret projects in the making
The society of the inane tuned out.
All I see are my hidden emotions.
Ones that I will someday reveal.
Ones that will tell how I feel.
Who's to say when I shall?
Or even how I shall go about it?
The world will know one day
The things that are inside of me.
Hate for one. Love of another.
The hate, instilled in me by their doing.
I await the day I can leave them behind.
God, make me a bird so I can fly far away.
Far enough away that I won't see them.
The last thing I want is their bitching.
The love, oh such love inside of me.
Hidden is it, as is my hate. Inside.
Truly I can say the love for one,
does, in fact, outweigh all the hate of others.
That is all that I shall reveal.
"The Day"
Partly cloudy sky after a rain
Rays of light shown in the sky
I await the day to see you again
Wondering if I will be your guy
I feel strange inside of me
When I think about you
I can't help but smile with glee
What else is a guy to do
The voice in the hallway I hear
I see her face once again
The harmful feelings inside disappear
I turn happy, there and then.
That fateful day draws nearer
I think about it every day
I imagine how I'd hear her
I know exactly what to say
As some of you may or may not know, I wrote this for the mystery girl. Who is it? Who knows. I knows. But you
all shall have to wait until Feb 14th. Yes, secretive I am. Why do I write this for the public? I just want to show the world how I feel. I don't care who reads it
For all who cares to know will know on Feb 14th,
not before then.
And, may I paraphrase from the bible...
Nothing is hidden to remain hidden. All shall be revealed in due time.
Time Tells
Here I stand once again.
I await to see her once more.
Out of all in the animal pen,
Is it me that she came to adore?
Only time will tell
Chances Wanted
Thoughts race through my mind.
Happy ones, ones of despair.
Will it be me she wants to find?
If it's not then why even care?
A chance is all that's needed
As You Are
Stuck in my mind.
Hard to forget you.
Even in a bind,
You get me through.
Never change completely.
Consumed
Floating in the pink void
As my blood runs warm
The presence I enjoyed
It attacks in a swarm
Another victim of love
Valentine's
In this bed I lay
Motionless in thought
I wait for the day
A relationship to be wrought
Quicker I wish it would come
Stumble!
