Life

 

I am walking through a grave

with some tombstones knocked over.

Others are crumbling

or moss covered.

I walk the muddy road of hell

and see the black carriage in the distance.

A man standing there

with the door open.

He has a boney hand

and draped in black.

Why he has a scythe, I don't know

Maybe I’ll ask him when I get there.

Approaching cautiously

He points to the carriage.

Shall I go on and see where this takes me?

Maybe walk away and wander the dark world

Or stand still for eternity

Melting away with each passing wind

Waiting for that push to give a direction.

Forward, backward,

Left,

Maybe right,

Can’t be up

But possibly down.

Where am I to go, what am I to do?

 

 

 

Friends

 

To live a life with love so thin,

To travel abroad with little within.

To wander the world in search for no one,

To be with people that will show you some fun.

To walk a path that is dark and grey,

To always look for a brighter day.

To live your life, content to the end,

I will be happy with no one but friends.

 

Falling

 

Oh what a tangled web I weave

Walking bound off a plank

 

Falling

 

Falling

 

Falling down into the dark abyss of life

my heart sinks like a stone in water

 

Falling

 

Falling

 

my stomach's tight from all the tension

my muscles soar from a life I run from

 

Falling

 

Falling

 

No escape from this place

nothing kept, nothing helps, I've lost it all

 

FALLING...

 

I have yet to hit the bottom of this barrel

for only death awaits me there.

 

Mirror

 

I saw death today.

 

Wearing his thick black clothes,

looking pale as a winter night.

I saw death today.

 

He looked tired and torn,

he has had many sleepless nights.

His eyes drooped,

his shoulders sagged.

I saw death today.

 

When I looked into his eyes,

I connected to his loneliness.

When I looked into his eyes,

I saw his damnation,

and his despair.

I saw death today.

 

For the first time,

I saw who he was.

I found how he acts,

how he feels,

how he cares

and how much he envies others.

I saw death today.

 

When I looked into the mirror…

I saw death today.
