As the soft music
plays
I think of all
the days
And gaze into the
stars of night
Wishing for the
light to reach my sight
So much darkness
I am blind
I can not find my
mind
To think of all
I've been through
To know what I've
blew
Just for you and
another few.
Life passes me by
Without even a
sigh
Not even a cry.
I'm afraid to
feel
I act
de-sensitized, not even real.
They destroy my
emotions
And fill me with
potions.
My heart fears
love
And causes me to
feel unloved.
I just want what
I feel
To be real.

The essence of an
angels tear
Cries for my
blackened soul.
When I fade into
the mirror
I enter my
fantasy-land
Mirages of colors
melting. . .
Fading. . .
dripping like sand.
Life is like a
game
Take your
chances, see where you'll end.
Does it bring
fame or nothing but shame?
I drown my body
with any escape.
Long and dark
winding tunnels
Is the way my
eyes take me
Again and again,
Time after time.
Choosing a new
way will be hard today,
But there's
always tomorrow.
Paranoia infests
my nerves
Thinking of new
scandals waiting
To blow and
explode.
The thought is
fake.
I switch a
different mode
When I see the
lake
I will drown my
fears.
The sky is dark
and cloudy,
Reddened by the
eclipsed sun
I see the other
side
But I am in the
middle grasping for air.
The echoing
whisper of my name
Repeatedly
distracts me like a nighttime flare.
The dark tunnel I
had once been down so many times before
Reappears and
shadows me like the overcast moonlight.
I am in
darkness once again.
