A Place to Rest

Air came crashing down
As the ocean whispered
The secrets we
Were never meant to know. 
Never before has so much
Been hidden in the noise,
And so much declared
In the utter silence. 
Pressure building
Seeking a release. 
What have we ever known
About peaceful conflict. 
Nobody's listening
To the voices
As the greatest story ever told
Is being written. 
Light floods the darkness,
Darkness retaliates,
What chance does a lie stand
Against truth?
Clamped shut,
My mouth contiues to scream. 
What more is there,
So much more,
Time to breathe,
Relax,
Live. 

Pain

I wish there was a way
For you to understand
The hell you've put me through.
The blood is still fresh
From every wound
You have ever caused me.
The ending to the story was so close
I could actually taste it.
You stole the ending
Right at the climax of pain.
An indescribable rage
Fills my soul
When I see
All the damage you've wrought.
You've burned your face
Into more lives than I thought possible. 
I can't take this war anymore,
Just go away. 
Forget closure,
Forget healing.
Just go away,
Time won't heal these scars,
But at least you can't
Give me any fresh ones.
I've had enough.
Before the beast gets released
Take a hint.
The trauma of a new beginning
Is something
I can't wait to sink
My teeth into. 
Please,
Spare me just this once,
Allow me just this one escape. 
Leave me alone,
And just disappear. 

Welcome to the Masquerade

You've got me feeling
Something a little more than worthless,
But far less than human.
Something changed.
When did you trade the roadmap
For a joke?
I promised you had me,
Somehow I'm far from good enough.
I don't know you anymore
And I wonder if I ever did.
Trust me when I say
You're not worth trusting.
The stars aligned
In a pattern they were never meant to.
I find myself laughing
There's nothing funny,
Yet it's laughable.
Did you really think
I was that blind?
I can still see clearly
Even when you think I'm clueless.
Maybe nievity is a blessing
But I don't have that gift.
Sorry.
