Subtle Oblivion

A human mind, a cursed thing,

is so defined by gifts it can bring.

A lonely thought. A solemn word

so scarcely bought and never heard.

It lives inside and slowly fades with every lie.

Imagination can run deep

and yet the act of silence does creep

suffocating every drop of faith and hope,

a slender end.

Next time, speak the truth.

You tell yourself you always do,

even I know those secret thoughts that hide in your mind.

The ones you use and keep.

The ones you deem too private for the world.

Next time, let them come.

Cruel Mirror.

What have I ever done to you. To make you lie, so cruel. What have I ever done to you. To provoke this harshest duel. Why must you lie straight in my face. Why must you lie to me.

If A Painting Could Speak

Drip drip drip drip... Is that a tap dripping. Or maybe the gutter's leaking. I hope it's nothing serious. But then again, it would give me something to do... Drip drip drip...

The Crossover

Light burns through bruised blackness, its purple indigo scars fading, healing. The golden color washing it all away with graceful, elegant strokes. I'm caught in between.

Listen To The Wise.

"Be afraid," said the Fear. "Be terrorised, go on a metal raid," said the Mind. "Be freaked," said the Soul. "Be tortured like hell just leaked," said the voice.

Let's face it You are scared. Of what, I know not But you're scared, I see it. It's why you do The things you do Why all of this Just happens. Deny it all you want. It doesn't hide the truth.

Enlightenment

Sometimes enlightenment. Can feel like a punishment. You can never not know. What you all ready do. You can never forget. Knowledge causing upset. You can never unwind. The pre-existing time.

Call From A Soul

Your soul called me today. And told me that your secrets lay. Inside your heart where I can't see. Invisible from the world, so you'll never be free.

Twins

So I'm a maniac. Doesn't matter because. So are you. I run through the nights a full speed. I run through my life at full speed. Oozing cravings. Drinking wants and needs. You are the same as me.
