i'll walk alone.. with your precense carved into my heart...
not even stones could break down what i've built up. not any hatred... no fear.
it's going to stay right here..
as long as it remains untouched.. if I can manage to let it be..
then i'll always have you with me.
as much as I may look up to the stars & cry..
as much as I ask the sun why...
how often I wish the clouds away..
is as much as I feel you every day..
maybe there is a sharp fence around your heart...
is there cotton in your ears..? is your vision pitch black..?
have you gone blind? is your mind in tact..?
do you think you're just fine..?
silly me.. still wondering, though we've left it all behind..
all I really want is to die in the grace of someone I love..
gazing into their eyes.. arms held tight..
my spirit could finally take flight.
i'm so fucking sick of this misery..
i'm tired of not having any energy..
i'm done with the pressure on the sides of my head..
i'm finished with the aches in my back..
i'll drown out all the nausea..
I will forget about the broken glass..
the shattered past..
if we didn't know such a thing as sadness existed, would we still feel it..?
If the possibility of calling you mine
were riding on a shooting star,
I'd shower in meteors.
Hear ye the Voice of the Elder Xastur,
The mournful sigh of the vortex,
The mad rushing of the Ultimate Wind
Whom I call upon Aphoom-Zhah;
Swirling darkly among the silent stars.
Hear ye Him howling serpent-fanged
Amid the bowels of nether earth;
He whose ceaseless roaring
Fills the timeless skies of hidden Leng.
His might teareth the forests
And crushed the cities,
But none shall know the hand
Or the soul that destroys.
Faceless and foul walked
The Elder One,
In likeness of Nyarlathotep;
His form to men unknown.
Hear then His Voice in the dark,
Answer His call with thine own;
Bow ye and pray at His passing,
But speak not His name aloud.
Pain scorches my mind
As I peruse the novels
Of my recollections
Every night is identical
Read, reminisce, agony
So I incinerated the library
Of my long kept memories
And their embers seared a hollowness
Into my soul
The ashes of my past
Floating away into the blood-red of the firmament
Or is it of my veins
I can’t say
I can’t remember
I don’t care
The stars sing tenderly to me
Their mournful cry from afar
Helpless to relieve me
Powerless to help
Incapable of aiding
A dying man
A vanished cause
A solitary shadow
I’ve given up the contest
There is no longer a challenge
No longer the next battle
Just eternity at my fingertips
And the doorway in my hand
A slit across the open earth
And I fade into nothingness
Perhaps they will miss me when I’m gone
Funny how they listen
When you can no longer speak
Yet, perhaps they will forget me
I do not know
Another life aborted
Gone into I know not where
I looked up to see
the stars high up in the skies
but they were missing
so I searched high and low
Then found them
In my new love's eyes.

The first time I kissed a girl
I was ten feet off the ground
Stars swarming around my head
Like fireflies all around
Like little lights in the grass
The magic in the air
How I often after that I wished
That I could go back there
The next time I kissed a girl
Was marred by circumstance
I loved her; she wasn’t sure
She said I never had a chance
But I still hope to this day
To melt her heart of ice
I’ve never met someone who I care for more
And so I sacrifice
But the next time I kiss a girl
Will actually mean something
It will be my truest sign
Of all that I’m giving
That I will be there for her
That she will be my world
And nothing on this earth can stop me
From having her to hold
It's not my place to tell the stars
their order's out of line.
Nor, tell them which direction
I think they ought to shine.
It's not for me to scorn the moon,
when she hides herself away.
Nor, direct her to the water
and tell her how to sway.
The sun of course, can't hear me say,
that every morning, every ray,
his light's too bright and scares away,
my shadow buddies, kept at bay.
My voice can't carry all that far,
to travel space and time to stars.
My voice of course, it knows it's part,
to whisper to your heart.
This is it
This is goodbye
And though you say I just can’t add up
I’m not so sure about that
But your saying that may mean
That you’re not good enough for me
Yet, that’s not how I feel
So before you leave
I wish
That you always find God’s grace
That you find what you’re looking for
That your dreams give you wings
That you aim at the stars
That you appreciate compliments
And forget critics
That you live like you’re dying tomorrow
And you always find your way back
I’m still your friend
And I can settle for second place
But only because loving you briefly
Is better than not knowing you at all
Perhaps another time
Another life
We would’ve been happy
But if you can’t find someone better
I’ll still be here
And I wish
That your heart won’t be broken
Past what I can fix
That the fork in the road
Wakes you up to the drive
That you find joy
In the little things in life
And that you always find your way home.
Above the waters
of the cresting fjord
under cradled moon
and suckled stars.
Lo' forth the mid-morning mist,
of ice twice struck upon the throat.
The night strikes;
an optical mirage
mounted upon the mirror
that takes forth
from vastness of god
to be left upon
the stallions of light
that transgress the folds
that pedestals planets
and en-wraps upon stars.
That shine in death
upon this word
and split forth
the mind of man.
