What devils do I dance with

in the darkness

of my dreams

only those of a past forgot

that vanish with my screams.

I'm haunted

by your face.

That last look

before you

walked away.

The cold,

depthless

hatred.

You closed me out.

The shutters fell

across your eyes

destroying me.

You did not realize

though

you locked yourself in

at the same time

and I alone have

the key

to let you out.

see

up over there

up upon the stair

see, there's something

hiding there

there upon the stair.

you turn

to look

too late

it's gone

and somehow

it's not fair

that there is something

hiding there

that gives you such a scare.

run,

run, run away

as quick as you can go

don't stop to look

or turn around

or then you'll really know

i'm here

where are you

are you alone?

what's that sound?

nevermind

just a dream

don't cry

i'm here

where are you

way up high

on that cloud

where we were one

with all

so heavenly

i think back

upon that night

and i can’t let go

of the memory

you look in

in my eyes

and you say

that i’m incredible

but i know the sound

of promises

that ring hollow

in morning’s light

and don’t believe

what i’d like to

did you forget i wrote

the fairy tale

now, i sit here

screaming words

you'll never hear

and know my pain and scars

will just linger on

until some day you see

there'll be no jury, no

there'll be no judge

and though

i'll never show

and though

you'll never know

justice will come

so swift and fast

these tears will be my last

i'll cry no more

until my mind

it breaks like glass

are we destined to be

all alone in this world

searching each face

in a crowd

dreaming our dreams

and

screaming our screams

but never, ever aloud.

Memories remind me

Memories of you

Memories that are wrong

yet so right.

Living with the memories

Trying to believe

One day it will

all be alright.

Memories surround me

Memories so cruel

Memories are what I

have to fight.

You deny my memories

You tell your own tale

but I relive

the terror every night.

It's been so long

going back to that place

in my head.

Will it never end?

Waiting, wanting

desperately to flee the place

of my torment

Only to find myself obsessed with

going back years later.

Living every moment

over and over again.

A non-stop movie

in my head

what you said

what I said

examining your features

in minute detail.

A bl...

and i thought

who is this man

of the dark and secret eyes

hard lines of age

chiseled

into the marble head

of the sagging shoulders

of the tired, crooked back.

and i thought

who is this man

of the wise and tired eyes

years of hard work

exposed

on the withered, cracked hands

of the aged brittle arms

of the tired, crooked back.

and i thought

      only at night

do i seek the day

when the mask is in place

and all is well.

      only at night

do fears come alive

and tears dance their journey

from my eyes.

      only at night

do i seek reassurance

and long for your face

so familiar and so far away.

Death is among us

Death will prevail

Death calls on you

To death, do we hail.

Blood runs in rivers

Blood of us all

Blood rushes forward

To blood will we fall.

War is forever

War will not cease

War kills man; On

To war for our peace.

the wind

whistles tunes

of past days

and broken promises.

the trees

rustle restlessly

whispering rumors

amongst themselves.

the snow

falling softly;

the icy tears

of the wounded night.

there are pin holes in my hands

a knife in my back

there is a crack in my heart

and a pain in my head.

there is an endless siren screaming

an alarm throughout the night

there is a constant drumming

banging cacophonous with sound

there is a life within a death

a death within a life

there was a child crying once

but he drowned in his own tears

now, there is a litt...

if you won't let me,

i won't go.

i'll stay until the morning air

takes my breath

and you take me

far beyond anywhere

i thought i wanted to go.

and in the dusk

i'll take you with me

i'll take you to the end

where time and space meet

and we are lost within this place;

together and yet so alone.

there was a time once when i used to think

i made my own de...

isolated and insulated

from all save pervasive fear

you're clinging to things

thinner than strings

with nothing to break your fall.

hit rock bottom

thought you fought 'em

those demons in your head

but never fear, they're always here

and will win in the end.
