Embers

I'm sitting, listening to silence
Time seems to hollow out time
A war is going on, but no sign of violence.

Every moment of everyday
I'm searching, listening for more
But nobody answers, there's nothing to say.

Being torn to pieces through my soul
My pain you can see, clearly see
Embers barely burning in the coal.

Red hot embers scorching me
But they don't seem to be aflame
Why are ashes demanding I not be free?

As I look in the time before
I try to keep those embers burning
But all that's left are ashes laying on the floor.

Soon all the ashes will blow away
I will be no more
I hope the wind will come soon, it's the only way.

Black coals covering the fiery pain of embers
There used to be a fire burning
But no one seems to remember.

Soon all the ashes will blow away
I will be no more
I hope the wind comes soon, it's the only way.

Note: This has nothing to do with me nor my feelings. It just came to me. Trust me, I'm a very happy person :)

On Our Side

Why are we hiding When the sun is this blinding. Are you scared of the night Or too weak to fight. Why should we leave When there's nobody to deceive. Are we running together Or apart forever.

A Darkening

A Darkening. When the end draws near. Things become dark. We run around trying to find a spark. But all we find is fear. The blank look of honest fear. No longer together we hide alone.

Colors

Sometimes, during certain moments, I feel so strong. At other times, I'm instantly overcome by such a deep sadness...Something I don't understand but that lives deep within me.

Letting Go.

Haunted by a past that I never will relive, Time is running through my hands, as empty as a sieve. So much more I need to say, so much more to do...

Time's Too Quick.

It's crushing down my shoulders, It's thrashing on my door, It's jabbing every muscle, And it's making sure I'm sore.

Living

I know I'm not suppose to be here, But if I left. Would you care.

Nothing New

The sound the sound keeps going round. In my head the beat continues to pound. The same old tune day after day. Is there really nothing new to say. I need to breathe and I need to live.
