Poem
If I lose my path and cannot remember the way that I came If I forget the sound of your laugh or the way you speak my name and if all of nature's mysteries allude me throughout my life will the blood on my breath and the slowing of my heart bring us closer together or only tear us apart? why is the world so cold? So cold? drapped in silence, dressed in allure the best and the brightest that sing from outside my front door walking on razor sharp wire stretched far too thin upon a moonless shore drumbeats echo flesh and bone to trick the eye with slight of hand Here I stand at the tide alone A mockery of their reprimand there is truth in tragedy while silence holds still the world keeps turning the sun keeps burning despite my fears I still am learning hear my war song battle cry these battle scars begin to heal beneath the tears that never stop flowing long enough for my face to dry and at the end of a day that stretches on and on I remain a hapless pawn locked cold in terror stark with remorse see this is not a system error it's far too late to change my course Fires bright enough to dry an ocean only after cities drown greed that set this havok in motion straight lipped liars become faceless clowns As I watch the night devour the daylight basking in the pain I feel embracing the tragedy of the moment to forget the promise, deny the deal but truth is a whisper so hard to ignore I can't pretend, I won't deny the fading shadows keeping score beneath an empty, moonless sky Chronicles of wasted time shadows eat the silhouettes thoughtless birth in careful ryhme for despite my apathy my faults are not but one that I seek to harnass moonlight but let the lovers own the sun
