Phantom Play

Inside my mind you bleed

Outside my heart you feed

See through the shadows

Blocking my way

Whispers toning high

Voices speaking a lie

All is forsaken for me

Needing someone�s sympathy

Ghosts that burn our eyes

Haunting the rest of our lives

Tears that flow

And the pain follows me

The phantom that shows

Amidst this dark stage

Souls are marred

On sheets of stoic art

Dramatic scenes of life

Ripping off like a knife

Lights that fade

Blending sounds are made

Curtains split their ways

Face them all with dismay

Memorize your lines

Here comes the time of your lives

Audience arises

Clap your hands for me

All are lies

Please God help me!

Mercy for us

Forgiveness we ask

Escaping the tombs that are laid down as props
