One Eyed Fairytale

The warmth of the sun has gone, for I have fallen into shadow. Beneath the trees lies a remnant of myself, the elf spoken of in childrens' fables. Don't look for me, for if you find me I will only cause you pain. How I long to live again, to feel the warmth of the sun again. But alas, I have fallen into shadow where the only company I keep is sorrow.

Sin

Never understanding what it truly feels like to be alive. I strive & fall victim to selfish ambition, not to mention the chaos within. Believing the lie that I can fly-I slowly begin to die. Batting an eye to the precipice on which I stand. Leave me, memories of long ago: leave me, everything that could have been; if it weren't for Sin, maybe I could live again.

Milky Eyed

Everyone has their obsession; some obsessions are more damaging than others, but still damage. No matter how small, obsessions tend to ruin the life of its possessor. Like so many before us, we tend to bury our heads in the sand: unable to foresee the outcome of our addictions.

Nude

Naked for all the world to see. Eroding away before my very eyes. Autumn cries as I lie dying in Winters' arms. Now is no time to pretend, for life is but a vapor stolen by the hands of Time. There's nothing left to know, nothing more that needs to be said. Why pretend to be a lover, when we're wolves disguised in sheep's clothing? Searching for reassurance, still no insurance for the life to come. Protect me from heartbreak. Even though I pretend not to feel, I feel; In need of something real, of someone true. Between me & you, all I need is you. Slowly beginning to heal as you hold me in your arms. With my head pressed firmly against your chest I find rest as you whisper words of redemption in my ear. Tears come & soon I find myself lost in your eyes. Take me away, this I pray: for one day all I'll have is you to console me as the world grows cold & turns to gray.

Half-light

The light shines so bright in the half-light, between heaven & hell. Wandering in thoughts of realtivity. The brevity of it all leaves me dwelling in vanity. Searching in curiosity, I linger for far too long in the comfort of my psyche. Picking myself apart, trying to find somekind of humanity. Discovering I'm only earth & water. Be careful with yourself, for in time life will be nothing more than a distant memory.

Enigma

Feeling like I'm losing everything I am. Putting to death everything that was. Dreaming while life steals happy memories away from me. Pretending to be okay, I play the fool. Pretending to be something I'm not, I unravel. Forgetting yesterday, forging through today. Reminiscing loss & sorrow: wallowing in pain till winters' morrow. Take me as I am, though you might not like what you find. For I am an enigma unto myself.

Wound

Drifting away: waving to the departed. Trying to conjure an emotion, urging myself to evoke some kind of reaction. Forsaking the lonely & deserted. Standing so proudly upon my arrogance screaming aloud. I don't care who hears, I don't care who stops & stares. Trying to voice what I feel- to heal myself from the wounds of youth. This monstosity you see before you is a wounded soul in need of love. Please don't leave me for someone better. I'll be whatever you want me to be, just say you love me!
