The Near Far
These darkened circles around my eyes
shown in reflections how hard i tried
and in this drained state I hate to be
I hear the void call out to me
too much does such endings make
for one who some like to see break
for someone whos likened to a snake
its me, it shall always be
How did I get here, so far from heaven?
how do I keep on, appearing so driven?
questions unanswered drive me from faith
and in this mindset, I embrace you snake
label forced unto me, for I know exactly
how not to be
The wolf calling the sheep a killer
makes the false feelings seem all the realer
your thoughtless, such as a mindless zombie
take forth my essence, that you stole from me
for I am wholer than I ever remember
I fight the cold, through an endless winter
almost so close, to my December
When I'm forgotten, I shall shed no tear
for I know it's inevitable, in this far near
the shadows are brighter, and brought unto life
they stalk me when walking, and seldom are nice
they're closing in closer, and most are so evil
piercing through my armor, my heart is a cushion...of needles.
