Loner 09:50
I've been drawn to the darkness much more than the light Sometimes I feel at peace, but I'm anxious at night Overthinking my problems, with no resolution Sometimes disappearing seems the only solution But I'm stopped by the image of what's left behind And more guilt just builds up in my mind So I channel this pain and bury it deep To surface again when I'm losing sleep In my dreams I am falling, but there's no sign of ground The silence is deafening, and I yearn for the sound Of those who are close, now distant to touch But I keep them away, 'cause I need them too much It's not easy existing with no one to share All my troubles and anguish, though I know they may care I treasure this pain, 'cause it guides and makes whole Just a shadow in darkness, no light in this soul

The flame burned steady, then flickered before death The smoke, in pallid moonshine, enveloped all With breathless words, she guided my hand To spirits in the mist, that cursed my name Such heart was given freely, yet is now one with dust A pale song from the tongueless bird Cast in vain, she will die, heart-wrenched in her hell This wretched wight in all its fabled glory A pale king stands among his slaughtered gifts Such a warm embrace from the hand of death Her spirit moved among the wheat stalks As she bid farewell to me Consigned to a memory, I will not forget Though time may take me Our time starved of meaning A figure of beauty cast me aside Awaken the devil inside of me A split in my very being No birds sing for me The silence is a comfort No more chaos, just solitude And now I seek her forgiveness
3.
I bathe in the cold of her loveless fire A dead ember long since frozen She needs me only when she cries And I am caught by her gaze The time of Winter has passed And in weakness, I long for her She became the Spring that lusts Forever onward to the Golden Shore Where the sea of sunlight casts its will To the edge of Winter's night Do not rejoice in the death of love There is no beauty there She is cold within my spirit On her deathbed Dark arrows guide her Toward the midnight of life While the sun passes through Heaven The angels in her heart have sung their last The Golden Shore is fading With the Spirit that guides the sun She shall sleep
4.
I can see the same eyes staring back at me But the face is not familiar Disconncected from my own reality Only the pain belongs to me Each moment a convulsion The fire is sometimes too much to bear Hidden from others by a mask The true face of my pain buried deep I have succumbed to temptation Despite my best effort A scourge on love, devouring disease Intoxicating and poisonous I have lost my moral self Yet I chase the high of immorality It feeds my desire A once proud man destroyed by fever A sickness that cannot be cured In mirrors I see my reflection It is not the man that I am The outward projection of happiness Belies the multitude of demons within I am tormented by my memories The high is now fading Another sting of your touch Is all I need to sustain me

Night Owl 07:32
I am buried in my thoughts I am leaving the past behind I am lost within your dreams I am eternally out of reach Screaming at the night sky Are you with me? Would you allow me to die? Or try to save me? I live in the night where I can hide Where spirits have always died
6.
Destined to our grave, the great unknown For there lays our fearful mystery Full of shadows on her tomb I despair at the thought of these small deaths Our ties were severed once more To break this bleeding heart Among this canopy of dust Only death broke us apart His shadow will never see The light of life to come Where pure of heart exist Those bound to their god Angels whisper to the loved Weep not, our tears are all Enshrined in all your suffering They will cease to flow Destined to our grave, the great unknown Where flowers wither and die My spirit had loved you once And now is faded doom A fragrance yet undying Eternal in its bloom We are cursed to decay And leave our mark in earth Such a resting place for souls Who shelter immortal birth Linger no more among thy grave But lift an eye to Heaven Hues of faith will break the sky Cast upon the Golden Shore Among thy loved ancestral plane And gathered home to God
