at far end of the town;
when night creeps in,

when mortals are drunk in spirits,
voyaged to the slumberland;
i walk down the bridge,
to fulfil my grudge.
stealthily waddle to avoid...

Streaming tears running down her cheeks, on her face

With drifting light through limbs that ache
So far behind left to hesitate
On raven wings broke the key of dreams

And so many footprints spent traceless
Along sundown’s passage

Flashes That Echo
Sudden flash evanescing slowly 
Cracks in a concrete sky
Peering
Leering over mountains of clay
On this very day it comes apart
Peeling away like withered bark on a tree

Kill me............kill me

The end of days
Prolonged pain

Suffer to eat
Eat and...

While you house still smolders in the dark
Can you even try to recover what has been damaged
When the smoke still burns behind your eyes
You step timidly...

Endless Waiting
Unclear and unfocused thoughts,
Trapped in negative emotions.
I can't seem to chase away the bad thoughts.
All I can do is sit around.

I'm waiting for someone,
But I can't remember who.
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting for someone.

My fingers...

Ending In Strife Horrid Depressing Day
Seeping into depression
Taking a look at life
Searching for those who love me
But ending in strife

Sulking around this world
Having nothing to hide
Covering it with a fake smile
And by it, you abide

Leaving me alone
You smile, nod, and...

I walk on the lonely road,
From the time I have been alone,
I have no company,
Just my shadow here with me…
