Is it worth it?
Wander and wonder
When your life is a sunder
Complain and contemplate
Why your happiness arrived late
Shameful and shaken
When your vibrance is taken
Full and foul
When you’re left with no pal
Winning and Wanting
While the future will be so haunting
Is it worth it?
Born in the darkness
Deep underground
Never welcomed by heaven or hell
Only to peer out at the moon lite sky
Change is coming from above
But alone oh alone
Alone you’ll survive
She has it all
I watch from the old cracked window
Eyes full of tears she throws herself to the ground
The darkness clouding her views
She wants it more
I watch from the old dusty window
Her drinking the poison
It only stings but does not kill
In the throes of her distress and desire
She loses it all
I watch from the worn paint-striped window
The young woman stands up strongly with pain in her eyes
Watching the fear dripping from her lips
As she tries to make sentences from lost words
For she knows the damage that has been done
I wish I could help her
But I am not allowed to interact with the living
For I am now a ghost
Who watches from a lonely window
We all wear masks
To hid our true faces
Fear and excitement
Can be found in these places
Fear of rejection
Excitement for affection
Both can be felt at a single collection
Yet we hid behind masks
Made by our own hands
Building our futures in foreign lands
We impatiently await final decisions
Fearful to feed our human frustrations
Tell me fair lady
What do you think of my cloth?
Tis faded of colour
Torn from storms past
Hand stitched from seam to seam
The fabric made from the Earth’s finest
Or is it the wrong texture? wrong cut?
Does it not suit to your liking?
Do not one size fit your needs?
Or is it the tailor who lacks?
Fight with me
Tell me I’m wrong
Find all my flaws
Let your anger out on me
After everything is said and done
Fall into my arms
Tell me you’re in love
Find all your words with me
Let your fingers intertwine with mine like reaching vines
After everything is said and done let your eyes meet mine
Fall asleep with me
Hidden in my world of emotions and equations
I ponder my existence and question my frustration
How could what’s happening bring me any elation
An attack on my thoughts is only an impending invasion
I sit and I wait and my brain wants a vacation
Because no matter how you put it I can’t shake this sensation
Words in this world seem to be lost in translation
And all I can do it fight this temptation
I praise the lord for this sturdy foundation
Because I fight and I wait in this same location
For the day and time that I be rid of this infestation
So I can feel the quick beats of my heart’s renovation
Tragedy strikes like a bolt of lightning
Setting a blaze to the rage in your world
Trampled by words and emotion
The soles of your shoes covered in regret
Your skin aged by the scars of a debt
Worlds and words colliding like wars and warriors in battle
Traveling through the scorched Earth
Over strange tides and rough seas
But hope is what holds up your troubled mind
It will be that much sweeter of a return
When you find your way home
A heart heavy from past love
To yearn for a love that never was
Your essence expelled by your lungs
To breathe them in to make you whole
For their being lifts your spirits
But if only they saw through your eyes
They could see your raw flesh exposed
Your bones shake to their touch
Their kiss
Their bite
Of your young lip
Could take a single drop of blood
Pure of sin and full of life
But they will never understand
For they hold your heart in their palm
And can mute the beat
Or pump the blood through those veins
For your body is no longer your own
To yearn for a love that wishes to breathe existence
A heart heavy from past love
