You were once like the sun Spreading light and warmth Everywhere you went Now there's a certain coldness Creeping out of your body Tainting all the words you say I can feel you withdrawing From the image of you I know With greater frequency As the days go by one by one Every time they come to an end And you set behind me in bed I fear what will become of you Tomorrow Your transformation freightens me The anxiety is coursing through my veins And it's breaking me down, breaking me down I mimic you and act like nothing's wrong The worry won't let me ignore the problem And it's breaking me down, breaking me down Over time you became like the m

I feel a barrier standing between Me, the world I see, and me And though it's invisible to you It's completely real to me It's way too real to me A structure clear and paper thin You'd think it would disappear With the slightest gust of wind But in spite of that delicate appearance It's as solid as tempured steel I could live this sequestered life If it was just one partition Keeping me away from the people I see Instead of a division within another division within a hundred others I'm no longer a single entity I'm an infinite number of subunits That are isolated from each other "The whole is greater than the sum Of it's parts" is what th

Out in the open, surrounded by landscapes Both new and old to their analytical eyes The writer scans the land for inspiration But they can't find a way to describe What they're feeling inside their heart Words used to flow forth from their pen Like rivers rushing to meet the ocean But now the pen's as dry as an empty riverbed And refuses to write a single letter Before long, the writer grows impatient And is forced to return to town all alone With only another failure keeping them company The same dark thoughts run through their mind Is this the end of me? Have I said everything? Will I ever write just a single line again? That's when they

I open my eyes to see A white room surrounding me When I walk through the only opening I'm lead into a sprawling hall With many branching offshoots Empty frames line the walls The second I walk past each one Images suddenly fill the frames But the images aren't paintings They're memories, my memories The ones I lost years ago The ones I tried to forget My instincts kick in and I run Can't make sense of anything Every twist and turn I take Feels like returning to sqaure one There's no exit to found Someone trapped me in a prison With the intent of blackmail But what if I'm responsible? Is this a prison of my own design? I stop to catch my

Sleepless nights by the telephone Have become my new routine I hold out for your correspondence But more often than not I lose consciousness empty handed The free space of my days Is filled with endless ponderings Over whether this is finally the end Sometimes I wish it was all over So I can finally breathe a sigh of relief And be free of the anxiety over us But deep down I know the opposite is true I know that I'll miss you if you go Despite my efforts to change I can't sake those old habits I'll always return to the familiar Cause I can't shake those old habits And they won't loosen their grip on me Cause true to their nature Those old ha

I remember how it used to be I was stumbling through life Trying to find my way back to me After yet another heartbreak That's when you entered the picture Appearing like a flash in the sky One second I was all on my own And the next you came out of nowhere Over time you slowly worked your way in And everything between us soon escalated If only I knew then what would be in store Your love blossoms in the dark Like someone cast a spell on your heart I wish it'd stay but it always fades You're like the stars in the night sky Shining bright for a little while But by morning light you're gone You're like the stars in the night sky Filling me wi

I let the vile venom of others Corrupt my once trusting mind Their twisted words led me astray And now I'm someone I don't recognize All the good will I've accumulated Has vanished right before my eyes I've fallen from my pedestal And there's no turning back No rescue from the fall Everyone who once held me up Now must be weary of my every move Cause if I'm left to my own devices I'll show them true destrution Oh, I've lost my senses Lost the plot and my heart All I have is pure venom Coursing through my veins There's no blood pumping through me Only that poisonous elixir I willingly drank All I have is pure venom Deep inside I stood aside

You can fortify the exterior all you want But it means nothing if the foundation is weak You can hide the cracks on the surface But you can't run from how you feel inside You can keep the invading forces at bay But what's the use when the real war you're fighting Has been taking place within your castle all along You can spend your whole life Trying to keep the walls around you From crumbling right before your eyes But it doesn't matter what you do If they're meant to fall, they'll fall And nothing can stop them And no one can stop them Not even you Some castles aren't meant to stand the test of time Even if they manage to survive the rava

Mary was always an obedient girl She was born to serve and appease A billion faces she'll never see The beacon of model behavior But only when she does as she's told She's the most worshipped woman But only cause she plays second fiddle To all the men in her life with no objection Forced to sacrifice her freedom For some greater cause She's the original Joan of Arc Forced to sacrifice her child For the betterment of her people Like old, brave Agamemnon Deep down she knows it's wrong But the decision isn't hers to make When night envelops the land She kneels down by her bed And prays for her son To be returned to her She prays for her son T

Wrapped in chains of foliage And bathed in dull flashes of sun A city that all of time forgot Stands somewhere in the world Hiding from us in plain sight Waiting for someone to come along And learn the secrets it holds But no one ever shows up Banished from civilization The lost city always sleeps Only a new life could break This cruel spell of dormancy Even then there's no guarantee That the curse can be lifted All the city's buildings Sit cloaked in a veil of dust Where echoes once rebounded Now lives a deafening silence The city is still alive But if you looked at it You could see it slowly dying But the death day will never come Banis
