Poem
There cannot be happiness in the absence of freedom
So before me lie limp my shackled hands
Bruised and battered
Imprints of illustrious patterns
Disguising my fading fingerprints
I hear the sprinkle of rain, see the sparkle of thunder
I wish both would collide and shatter my window
An angel with a broken halo peers inside
And speaks softly to me
in a hushed and gentle voice
Powerful and graceful as Niagara

YOU'RE IN THE SAME PLACE YOU WERE ONCE BEFORE

I knew this would happen eventually
I left unfinished tattoos on my skin
I go through the motions religiously
I cant cease to stay awake
I cant sleep and I don't know why
I followed every damn instruction
But the tempest wouldn't move, its wheels wouldn't turn
The sweat of my brow turns to dust in my eye
If i could cry i would
With rotting dirt tracing my lashes

Why do i want to remember
The children as they laugh to themselves
Playgrounds with rusting equipment
That just refuse to collapse
Just as my love for you dies slowly
But delays it's final words and fade away forever
I will destroy EVERYTHING that breathes and smiles
Because my day dreams aren't what they were before
What they're meant to be
What I want them to be

I turn a deaf ear to the whispers
Darling, it was you who was wrong
And before prejudiced eyes i stand trial
Anxious, nervous, waiting
Bang, bang, bang
Like echoing firearms dispersing their seed in steel boxes
Three knocks of the oak wood gavel, my fate is sealed
Yours is my burden to carry
Even though you've forgotten
I still tread on dying flowers

Alas, out of the winter she came 
Atop of a donkey with a horses name
The dancers spun neatly beside her
Knowing too well who she was
What she was capable of
And the constellation of stars she came to spoil
The red sea parted to save a people
But the Atlantic swallowed me up
The frogs croaked in the distance
The lions made peace with the lambs
And I knew for certain that my soul still lay dormant beside hers

I hit my chest now and then
My heart beats too loud
I still remember the cold shivers
And that sinking feelings
When i heard you had already passed through the dark
I'd ask for your help, for directions
But i know if my hand were to brush yours again
That moment would never be lost
It'd be replayed spitefully in my mind
over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over

Much like before, As much as now .
