Burning Away Sooner or Later
By Scott

I wont let this build up
I am the slave and I am the master
No restraints needed against my inner demons
This is my life and its not what it was before
These are my dreams
The dreams I have never lived before
So I struggle when I am in vain
Now that I am so far away
I dont think I can face another day
These are my words
I have never spoke before
This is the smile I have never shown before
The pain finally starts to go away
Somebody shake me
I must be sleeping
I'm so afraid of waking
So please dont shake me
Now that I am here
I must be to far away
For i am ashamed of what I am today
So I am crawling in the darkness
Always confused from what is real
Somethings stirring inside me
Thats always pulling at me to get out
Against my will I stand beside my demons
I'm so insecure
The wounds I have caused will not heal
So hate is all I see lately
For my passions are lost
So there are children crying
In a cold and darkened world
So hold the hands of your best friends
As you look into there eyes and watch their souls drift away
Cause these burning whispers remind me of the days I was left alone

a poem by me help with a title please
By Scott

My eyes are shut
My lips are sealed
Red as a rose
OH how beautiful they appear
But underneath is what you dont see
They are full of lies and deceit
Infidelity and defeat
My eyes are shut
My lips are sealed
Blow them a kiss
And I might be healed
So defuse the pain
To make me real
For this crusted blood
Is all I feel
So breathe me in
Till I am out
Then you might see what Im all about
It pierces my flesh
So I hide my eyes with all these lines
You cant see my fear of all this kind
So the days and nights
Are crazed and gray
My face lies with potent cries
My jagged hair corrupts my face
My lips aflame clears my pain
With no spite of happiness

"Incomplete"

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can’t find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Incomplete

Crazed Cries in Darkened Eyes
By Lotus

The days and nights are crazed and grey.
my face is no lie with potent cries
my jagged hair corrupts my face
my lips afalme clears my pain
with one spite of happiness
piercing my flesh
hiding myeyes with all these lines
you cant see my fear of all this kind
so defuse the pain to make me real
for this crusted blood is all i feel
breathe me in till i am out
then you might see what i am about
for my eyes are shut
my lips are sealed
red as a rose
oh how beautiful they appear
but underneath is what you dont see
my eyes are shut
my lips are sealed
blow them a kiss
and i might be healed
