Sharp Words
Those words that cut so deep,
Flayed my skin left me bare,
Still echo round when I sleep
Even though you not there
I keep bleeding I keep weeping
I'm wounded to deep to care
These scars I am keeping
To remind me you not there
Changed forever by the terrible poison,
That I took from this laceration,
Settled in my bones in my reason,
Beyond redemtion and renovation
Fallen beyond my hurts and injury
My anger rules my heart
It rages eternal, permanetly free
Love no longer a part
A black and broken thing i've become
Free falling away from light
Forgetting the heart love came from
In the dark out of sight
Resigned as I am to my dark fate
I curl up and around my agony lie
Lay quietly down I start to wait
For the cowl and sythe to let me die
But my dark friend finds me not
No matter how long i wait upon the floor
I must find him before i rot
Even if i journey ever more
Fairwells are made to those that care
Careful to hide my last destination
Few will note that i'm not there
So i set off without a reservation
I travel now to meet my friend
With cowl of night and boney stare
I'll welcome his embrace come the end
But i'm glad i will know no one there
I hope to see such pastures green
Sunsets red and seas so blue
All the sites the can be seen
Do all the things i can do
For before this trip i can complete
Before i reach my family home
I will find the friend that i seek
I will fade away all alone.
