Belize was where her father chose to live.
She was his one offspring, and he, a businessman. 
His grocery store/saloon always bustling,

When lightening had blighted their perilous shadows at break neck speed

Vision and mystery succumbed sprightly beyond recognition scared and scarred

Obliterated in illiterate darkness they were easy prey for shadow’s projections

Weep

When will you cry?
Will you cry when they kill all your dreams
or when the sun stops

From day one he was trouble
His parents knew on sight
Their bundle of pure joy and bliss
Was somehow, just not right

"Codex: RED"



Babylon, hear their tall voices
Legion swallows dark wings
Mystery through open windows calling

This day I grow tired
and so incredibly weary.
My heart holds only dreams
of a Life unfullfilled
A Life not nurtured,
yet barely a glimmer
of the spirit that once was.

he's not that memory, he's not these crooked tears


and I swear, I promise
