on land once barren tears of the sun saturate a rose grows from it

I fumble through this life Looking through another's eyes This world in which I exist Created not by me So how does one survive This universe unknown? Where everything familiar Is now a battle zone? I struggle to subsist On mere threads of half truths While attempting to construct Reality anew

It would be easier to tame wild beasts Than tame the ever increasing flame Of desire in my troubled heart With romance I would rather my days consist of battles Guaranteed to be won They say love is a game but it's the greatest battle ever Never to be resolved, instead spelling doom to its players It would be easier to achieve victory as a gladiator in the arena Tearing out the hearts of vicious creatures Instead of handing mine over

Hold the gun to my head While with a knife I cut a hole Wide enough to expose My heart, my soul for you to hold Every hollow click I hear Slightly allays my fears Of losing myself to glorious death Putting a life of rancor to rest Hold the gun to my head While blood slowly drains away As the bullet strikes my brain My life is now yours to claim

My heart has been broken And it lays shattered In a million pieces on the ground And for my reverie I now stand guard Ensuring no piece goes missing Counting them one by one I gather them to myself Protecting them from the winds of change That threaten to scatter them across enemy lines Spelling my defeat

Once mighty warriors Now slaves to their demons Roaming aimlessly through The abyss of ostracism Decay becomes both friend and foe; To the mind, paradaisical To the body, swift and lethal Its stench fends off intruders

Requiem, To the lady who haunts me With gifts from beyond the grave In your lifetime treated with scorn In your death I lament my disdain As your bones nourish the earth So my soul is now fortified By heirlooms of grace inherited Through intercessions from on high

I woke up this morning Determined not to think of you I promised myself To try my best to get over you But every time I close my eyes I see your face I see your smile How I wish I could make you mine Because this feeling Is more than I can stand I'm starting to believe That you and I are part of God's plan There must be a reason I feel this way about you It's meant to be And I hope you feel the same way too I can no longer fight it Even though I try to hide it These feelings cannot be ignored I know deep in my heart That we should no longer be apart Because this feeling Is more than I can stand I'm starting to believe
