Faded

There you are
but not a word spoken

your eyes still shimmers
     your smile remains as warm as yesterday
     same old simple gestures

Here you stand 
     silently among the Iris
     beautiful as ever

Yet, where have your heart gone to? 

        Dazed <1>             

A thought left behind
A shadow by my side
A guilt lingering in my mind
Is this what is means to be trapped
in someone's eyes?

-Cold Flash-

Outside the wretched fire curls
only to stir the lonely
slowly...to burn all these foolish dreams
-to put all these tainted hopes into nothingness
-to take away these painful memories
-to silence these etched voices
-to relieve these bitter tears...
There is nothing left
Turn me into a deaf
-a mute
a void

_'BackSide'_

you try to reach beyond that blank wall
searching for a stranger
that promises you sympathy
But what you chase wont set you free
You tried so hard to reach for that ground
But the darkness reclaims its bleeding shadow
and when your dreams seem to leave you broken and empty
Your prayers not heard
or are you "someone's prayer?"

Dazed <2>

a memory
waned in sadness
slowly it bleeds behind its shadow
drifting on the path to oblivian
leaving nothing behind
-waiting for no one

716 ...

       I've got a head that don't let me sleep
   Unable to hold up
   Lost sights of what once was familiar
   Dizzied by a whirlwind that is reality
   Only to fade into the past...
   Where happiness truly awaits
