I was stubborn as a tree
Tall and proud, unwilling to change
Slowly, slowly I bent under the unending weight of time
Slowly but surely towards the ground
Until I was sure that I would splinter
But instead of fracturing
my branches became waves
my trunk, the sea
my roots dissolved back into my purest essence
Set adrift I finally reached clarity
As sparkling bright as sunshine filtering across the waters surface
Gentle as the first drop of rain
It was me
I was my own undoing
"The world is a carefree place"
So says the young and smiling face
Of this small, innocent, little child
As my life slips away without a trace....
And no one really thinks to give chase
To that ironicly pathetic soul gone wild
And I know I just cannot erase
The feeling of your warm embrace
How you looked into my eyes and smiled
The meaning of this I cannot replace
As I fall here into my own disgrace...
The eyes of the child beguiled
At what she thinks is beauty in grace
But is infact empty, endless space
Such a pure and innocent watchful child...
Sweet, sweet harmony
Harmonize this feeling
Of torture; I'm on my knees
Please stop the world, it's reeling
Standing in my own debris
I'm staring at the ceiling
I wait for the dusty rusted key
To unlock my path to healing
When all is lost, so very lost
Please forgive my lack
Of strength, to pay the heavy cost
There is no turning back
Tell me please, where is the love
That helped me once to carry on?
Where is the guidance from above
To lead me through the dark, to dawn?
It is this broken heart thereof
That this horrible pain will last so long
There is no time, no time enough
To find the power, the will to be strong
Quiet gl
As I slowly try to stretch out my wings
Sharp stabbing pain forces me to collapse
Blood pouring down, hope that I'm seeing things
All I can do now is lie here and gasp
I reach out a hand, trembling and shaking
To touch my own filthy crimson salt stain
What are these awful noises I'm making?
Why can I not feel the sharp burning pain?
Slowly now, I fall down into the sand
Then I look up to see your smiling face
You stroke my hair with your blood coated hand
What are you doing in this lonely place?
I will never know, what were your intents?
You now watch me bleed, my last innocence.
Love is such a fickle thing
With candy hearts and roses
All your care to the wind you fling
As cupids strike their poses
Raining down a feeling of joy
Of strength and hope and beauty
Making her seem like a Helen of Troy
So graceful in her duty
Love is a many splendored show
Of all your hearts desires
When she's near, you just know,
you can feel, she's not a liar
In her hands, you place all of your trust
Your life, your heart, your soul
Watching it all slowly fade into dust
Hoping you won't lose control
All of your life, you've been waiting for her
To love, to hold, to touch
But now that you have her, now that she's near
Jus
Sweet mercy mine, rest easy please
Tug at my heart no more
You try to sway my my mind with ease,
I throw you out the door
Sweet mercy mine, why do you stay
And taunt me with your kiss
You tease and tickle, you dance and play
You keep me far from bliss
Sweet mercy mine, why are you here?
To chide me with your smile?
I want to hold you close and near
Please, won't you stay a while?
Sweet mercy mine, please go away
I can not stand this pain
You bind my wings so I can't fly
You're driving me insane
Sweet mercy mine, what do you want?
I gave you all to give
And yet my deepest fears you flaunt
And expect me yet to live
Sun setting on a beautiful sea
Scent of salt, breath of air
Everything's peaceful, everything's free
So I wonder, why am I there?
Nothing here will save me...
Nobody here will care.
Pale, soft skin, a pretty face
What do they matter in this place?
Long flowing hair, light green eyes
Staring up into fair twilight skies
Everything I ever knew
All of it was lies
Falling softly as a gentle snow
My will whispers sweet goodbyes
It is lost into the rivers flow
It freezes over behind my eyes
Everything I ever knew
All of it was lies
A princess long forgotten
A long lost will to live
For a love that streched her

Literature
Calling Me - My Darkside
Why is it that I find myself
Here amongst the shadows
Close to the darkness
Closer than I've ever been before
I hear it call my name
Slowly, Silently
Whispering.
Follow me, my pet...
Follow me into the blackness....
I back away
Shaking my head
Trying in vain to erase the voice
Trying to find an escape
There is no escape.
No escape.
None.
I scream
But there is no sound
The silence consumes me
Covers me
Smothers me
Quietly
Screaming in my mind
No one will hear me.
No one will save me.
I hear a voice tell me
That it is time to die
When once I knew the way to live
I knew the hope that love does give
I knew the path my feet should take
I knew the way through reality's wake
I once knew the place where Dreamers grew
I knew the flavor of love's beauty true
I once knew the path made of Dreamer's cloud
I knew the alter where Dreamers vowed
I now know the place where Dreamers die
I know the taste of the blood they cry
I now know the path the Demons stalk
I know their soft as death-like walk
I see before me the end of all things
I hear the song that freedom sings
I see before me the reason we fight
I know why we draw short at the sight
In darkness here the Dream
I think once there was a boy who called my name
A whispering noise floating through the deep rain
There once was a lover who kept me sane
As he spoke to me softly through my horrible pain
I think once there was a boy who held me tight
Keeping me warm through the sorrowful night
Laughing together at the other's fright
As the sky churned with grey, stealing the light
I know once there was a boy who told me he loved
As over the cliff of doom I was shoved.
