how did you do it
create that mystic veil
covering all that you are
all that you claim to be
your memory still seeps through my brain
with haunting acclamation
and i see the beast you have become
your heart that was never there
your feelings - always empty.
yet if you cut off a person's arm
they still dream that its there
twitching, they can feel it
you were my arm
you left me in carnage
and so alone with the pain
picking up the pieces
so i find myself at your bedside
shattered pieces in my hand
waiting for you to make them whole again
waiting for you to make things right again
knowing you won't stay the night again
our purity melted away to corruption
illuminating through this silent eruption
i need to stop waking in the night
your voice ringing in my ears
almost feeling your arms wrapped around me again
just let your being surround me again
to personify you
holds no truth in my heart
to let yourself feel things
would rip you apart
so i wonder
where do i start?
somewhere, sometime
when day breaks, perhaps
that place where silence ends
and the sullen still begins
so i won't wake up in a cold sweat
your taste in my mouth
your name on my lips
emptiness doesn't compensate for love
but you made it work
but it's broken now
too late to fix it
just pray i can live it down.
the stars, my true solace
comfort me in the night
when you are not around
when you stole my heart
like a thief in the night
i lay down alone
and watch the fire in the skies.
