A Beautiful Tragedy

This, for you and I, We express what writing can't... ...Where words simply fail

Let the Right One In

Låt Den Rätta Komma In
Mom... Dad... Is there such thing as evil? Bandage up your cut, Watch the innocent suffer in tragedy. You need to invite me in, But you don't say a thing... As it enters the residence, And bleeds out all her sins. A dying hand pleads for help, Violently murdered and bloody, You reach out... Grab the doorknob, And embrace the monster. A killer. A brother's vengeance, an eye for an ear, The fire is burning, distracting... Helpless and drowning. Just in time, the demon is a savior. Stow away in a trunk, Leave this godforsaken place. Knocking in codes... Eat some now, save some for later...

Tripping On Reality

Painted in a mural,
Flat vision for eyesight.
Unable to connect.
The world is so unreal.

In Desperate Attempt

Chase your dreams,
If only, if only...

As the last words I speak
Pierce the hearts of the loved.

If he's anything like you,
Do I really want to go there?

It's a question of acceptance.
Fighting to wrap myself around it.

Just breathe, just breathe,
I stumble around feeling,

Glazed over in reality,
Nothing; not you and I exist.

Desperately looking at a legacy,
17 years in the making;

If only, if only,
I could chase my dreams.

Rapid Palpitations

Hearts jump faster and faster,
The sight of escaping breath
And it's all history from here.

Hand in hand with the harlot
Treading on shattered glass
You turn your head away in fear.

Elope and never turn back
Stowaway in an empty heart
And pray for any way out.

Fall into eyes of the darkest hole,
Wanting and needing forever
As hearts jump faster and faster.

As Emptiness Fills the Void

Sitting next to insanity,
Shivers run the length of my 
spine
Nothing will be remembered...
And sound is forever strange.

Hyperactive disorder,
Just one more day might do
But still walking in place,
My eyes shine forever with fear

I lay my head down,
A stomach full of aching hurt
Rest here and try to think
The horrors of yesterday 
return.

A darkest, deepest hole,
One which sits on my body
Is for one day filled up
With sacrifice for fleeting joy.

And the Storm Will Speak

Left ear, right ear,
Now It's in your mind

Boom like lightning,
Mountains fiercely grind

Clouds gloom rolling,
Giants in the sky.

Storm gazes down,
Brightly glowing eye.

Angry seas swell,
Tsunami's crash down,

Earthquakes rumble,
Silence is the sound.

Glance to the stars,
The moon calmly bright

Reach to the skies,
Your hand starts to write.
