Suicide (Remove filter)
No Requiem
Ah!
The simple sorrow
Of no more tomorrows
A gasp of air
No longer there
Drifting down life's breezy alleys
To settle in some distant valley;
A nomad memory roaming free
Returning only occasionally
To minds who thought all was calm
Under masquerades of smiles & charm
Do we only truly live in youth?
‘Til conformity becomes our truth?

Eyes of the storm
Cut me open, bleed me dry
A knife not a tool, a liberator
There is the forgiving woman with sorrow
Deep in those eyes, to a place
I am oh so unfamiliar with
There are places you know, you see
It is the dark holding our sparks
A flock of deft touches and harmony
Yet the pulse of the thunder rolls over
Sparks scattered, hidden or gone
You will never, never...

Entwined
Let me search for a lonesome tree,
For little lonesome me
To give some quiet company.
Let my body replace

Captain, my captain now gone to the sky.
Words can’t describe all the reasons we cry.
The circle’s complete now, there’s no reason why.
Captain, my captain… goodbye.

Days End
The days don’t seem to give a damn,
they march in step of time.
They stare ahead with eyes of steel
while never breaking line.
They torture me with disregard,
they tread upon my soul.
They seem so unaware I’m here,
they simply come and go.
I once believed the day would come,
I hoped that it would give
the thing that I was searching for -
a reason I should...
