Leaves change, heartache remains
The memories of times less tainted get erased
Each day, still filled with pain
As images of moments cherished start to pale
Leaves change, heartache remains
The sinking feeling felt as I slip away
Once bright, once set ablaze —
The dancing glow behind your eyes now slowly fades
Try to reclaim those days
Pleasures dull, then dissipate
I can't escape
I can't escape
As years pass, I still feel the weight
As I wade through this decay
(eternity mocking me)
Praying for better days
(detached in reverie)
Was there ever a chance for me?
Reaching upwards, angels close the gates
Leaves change, heartache remains
The memories of times less tainted get erased
Each day, still filled with pain
As images of moments cherished start to pale
Leaves change, heartache remains
The sinking feeling felt as I slip away
Once bright, once set ablaze —
The dancing glow behind your eyes now slowly fades
Sun goes down on sacred ground
Leads me to my salvation
Shadows grace my stricken face
Find solace in darkness
Sentiment-sharpened claws
Tearing me apart
Wings crushed in its jaws
Fear I face takes form

I can hear you calling me
Your voice deceivingly sweet
I can hear you calling me
How could I be so naïve?
I can hear you calling me
Words spoke in truth — now lies
A pretty face shields what's beneath
Maintaining my disguise
Looking back on those days,
I see my end in your eyes
Looking back on those nights,
Embracing my demise
Promises diaphanous, even then
I see ephemera reflected in your eyes
Existing in the smoke screen;
we are neither a part of then nor now
Glancing endlessly, infinitely beyond one another —
In parallels and tangents we join
Strike me down
Push me out
Take me now
Looking back on those days,
I see my end in your eyes
Looking back on those nights,
Embracing my demise
Fate sealed with a glance
One look, entranced
Losing yourself where you found me
Losing yourself where you found me

Salt circling me
Smoke heal me now
Purify my cries
Replace with white light
Grow wings and take flight
Sink into the night

Portrait of Purity

Spare me
One more day of
Distraction and frustration
Disease
Forced to fester
Underneath mediocrity
Too much time
Spent
Blurring the lines
Distanced deceit
Spills from their eyes
It will not
Force me down
I will not
Drown
In their apathy
In their lies
I’ll keep waging
Self-defeating
War within
(Despair still setting in)
And I’ll keep waiting
Time still fading
I won’t win
Striving for the silence
Break through
Fall to violence
Bliss forming
All around me
Portrait of Purity
Let go of expectation
A motive driven by
A need for isolation
As all surroundings die
I’ll keep waging
Self-defeating
War within
(Despair settling in)
And I’ll keep waiting
Time still fading
I won’t win
Stuck at where it begins
