Reminition

When the past comes to haunt you,
It's not always a bad thing,
memories of better days,
and the smiles they bring.

while missed opportunities
may foster some regret,
still i'm glad to have had the chance,
good times that we should never forget.

yet theres still time now,
for what hasn't passed,
if the best is yet to come,
i hope it gets here fast.

warmth

at night i lay awake and wait
for the sun to rise
for dawn to break

but it's been so dark
for far too long
and dreams i had
seem too far gone

still i await
the new days breath
with it hope
for what i have left.

what love gets me.

my tortured soul
so it seems in my dreams,
a man lost to the world
woken by his own screams,
but theres no escape,
no morphine for this pain,
no "for better",
just more worse,
and then more of the same.

shit stains on my heart

the inescapable fate
of a love - thats turned to hate
everything that it knew
wasn't true
but love still stayed

it was broken and bruised
like the man that i am.
how many times must love die,
until i finally understand

that there is no chance
for a love this real
simply cant exist
in this fucked up world.

the things she says

blind and broken
from a love i'd seen,
the light at the end of her tunnel
wasn't me,
but what could be
never will,
yet she says she loves me
forever still.

Too much

In the heart lives a love
lying to itself
beating voraciously still
long dead
but still...

A rest awoken by a question
that thou has arisen
pain all thine own
I cannot give in.

For whether a game
or a sincere endeavor
too much is enough
that i know much better

So i retreat
from a battle long over
re live it again
yet again i fall over.

still

my mind is racing
while i sit motionless
I try again
but i know its hopeless
so i reminisce
on better days
memories of us
and wish for things
that i cant change
so i fall
further away
i ask of you
for me
to pray
