Eternal Struggles

My soul is now a battleground
A thousand armies bugles sound
I wonder just who will succeed
Will the light or darkness bleed?

Bathed in ethereal light
I'm drawn towards all that is right
Angels fascinate with what they do
Something I can aspire to
I feel a longing, to help and save
I like to think I can be brave
But can I truly ever withstand
The heaviness of harsh hands?
My gravest weakness is my strength
I've thought upon this at great length
Love overpowers, it's greater than I
It makes me weaker, like I could cry
When my heart is broken
A thousand words are left unspoken

So I retreat into the dark
Where the angels daren't hark
Where I can find a place to hide
From the demons deep inside
Trouble is they're all around
I'm trapped now, can't make a sound
Terrified of the rising sun
My nightmare has just begun
At least in darkness I can't see
Exactly what is haunting me
The night can kill but also protect
As long as you treat it with respect
But once again I'm left heartbroken
A thousand words are left unspoken

It's seems for safety it is best
If to stay in grey I do request
A mixture of the dark and light
That hazy time, the fall of night
Or the dawning of the day
That should keep my monsters away

Rueful Games?

I fell to my knees. Bowed my head. Offered up my wrists. Closed my eyes to the red. I'm not even finished or done yet. But too many mornings are in regret. Familiar faces around me last night.

Eyes Of Lies

Lips sealed, Ink written riddles, Art of yours, tongue to wield. Reckless & messy, playing emotions like a fiddle. Looking right in my eyes, Out comes all of your lies.

Ruled By Heart/Destroyed By Mind

#acrostic. Life is governed by such emotions. Of our hearts and of our minds. Violent storms and rocky oceans. Escape these things and love survives. And after love has been and gone.

Despair.

Raw it comes leaving a few to stand tall. Darkness and glory become one, thinking of none least of all the bright sun. You let anger and rage take over, mind rolling like a huge ugly bolder.
