Moving On

I was sitting on a lonely bench
It was on a hill
Far away from all the cityscreams
And blinding citylights
It was a cloudless night
A soothing breeze came up
As I watched the moon rise slowly
A shimmering moment of
Eternal beauty

There were always less and less stars by her side
Each time I got to see her
The sky felt so empty
Where have they gone?
Maybe they left
Maybe they just moved on
Maybe it was time
Maybe they just moved on

As the moon looked at me
I felt uneasy
I wanted to explain
But before I could open my mouth
I noticed 
She was just staring through me
Like I was nothing at all
I looked at her
What is all the beauty in the world
If you can’t hold it 
Maybe it’s not meant for you to hold
Maybe it’s just meant for you to catch a glimpse
And start hoping
And start dreaming
Forever

I raised my head high
Watched the sky
Far above the moon
Maybe I should leave
Maybe I should move on
Maybe it was time
Maybe I should move on

Please Say Yes

You misunderstood
It was hesitation
It was fear
Of jumping into a deep dark pool
Of unknown 
Possibilities 

You misunderstood
It wasn’t rejection
Talk to me
But you shut your doors
Of limitless
hope
 
It was too late

Who are you?
Did we meet?
How could you forget
Everything we shared
All the memories
Times we laughed
And cried
In a Flash

I thought I could reach your heart
But the ice wall was too thick
I couldn’t break it
I’m sorry
And was pulled into darkness
Once again

Time passed

Someone was able to break the ice
It wasn’t me
Of course not
I couldn’t feel
I couldn’t talk
Choked
At the important moment

Now I'm in fear
Forever
What if
It happens again
And again
And again
I couldn’t bear it
So I swore
To never open up
Keep out
No one allowed in

But I can still dream
In the blackened
Isolation

I’d think
A lot
And smiled
And cried
And died

But 

If I’d ask you once again
Do you remember the old times?
Do you remember loving me?
Would you say yes?
Please say yes

Please
Say
Yes
You don’t even have to mean it

Fare Thee Well

In the dusk shadow and light
Shimm‘ring dark and glancing bright
The last of times they see both sides
In different worlds they do reside

The time to say their last goodbyes
Both know that what they‘re doing‘s right
For shadows live in darkness well
And light in brightest heavens dwell

A last refrain, a sense of pain
Maybe someday they'll meet again

The shadow then turned to a spark
To guide all shadows in the dark
The light returned into the sky
To flash the shine, high up to fly

The Birth of the Broken

Silence
No clocks ticking
No wind blowing
No thoughts
No mind
Blessed, calm, serene, almost holy
Silence
 
Shadows
Crawling
Cowering
Sneaking
Staring
Listening

“You almost had me”
They heard
“But now you lost me for sure
Cause I know
You’re not worth it
Just not worth it anymore” 

“But then again stranger “
The Lord behind him said
“Who is ever worth it
What is ever worth it
Worth struggling for
Worth crying for
Worth reaching for
Worth dying for”

A whimper was
What shadows heard
As his head and heart
Broke into pieces

“Nothing Sir”
The Broken said
“Very Good”
The Lord replied
“Then thou shalt come with me”
“Yes my Lord
My greatest Lord
My only Lord”

They heard the Broken shaping up
As he was kneeling down
Then they heard him voice his vow
He filled the emptiness 
With an eerie sound

“I, Oh Lord,
Shall share 
My Pain
My Pride
It’s broken 
Deep Inside
Share
The Pain
Break
The People
Break
Their Minds
Break 
Their Hearts
Break
And keep living
By being
Broken”

A Smirk was what the shadows saw
The widest Grin they’ve seen so far
From the greatest Lord of Shadows

A tempest rose
Storming winds 
A thunder roared
A blinding strike
The Shadows
Were gone


The Broken 
And his lust of blood
Left to do
What’s left to do
He bared his teeth
Oh Yes
That’s good

The Silence
He remembered 
The Silence
But there are still things
To Break
Before he could go
Silent

The Wizard I

Scattered ashes grey and fine
Grouping up toward one line
To save themselves they did combine
Toward the heavens did they cry

The heavens did one wizard sent
To save the ashes which were burned
The wizard spoke and magic bent
The scattered ashes then were turned

And from the ash a phoenix rose
A flaming beauty did compose
Her blazing wings sent her to fly
The brightest light in all their sights

The wizard was indeed astounded
His magic did break all the boundaries
The phoenix’ flame was spouting fountains
The wizard then left for the mountains

Heavens asked the job well done
The wizard nodded with a frown
He whispered with a worried face
“I hope the phoenix finds her place”

The Wizard Ii

Scattered ashes green in slime
Grouping in a scene of crime
To lose themselves they were combined
Heavens heard their silent cries

Again they did one wizard sent
To stop corruption from its spread
The wizard spoke and magic bent
But even that could wake no dead

And from the ash corruption rose
A sparkling green it did appear
His slimy fangs and claws composed
Even wizards knew of fear

The wizard fought despite this power
His magic strong his heart no longer
Corruption sent a poison spark
The light was gone and all was dark

Heavens asked the job well done
The wizard laughed with widened eyes
“Corruption” he said “is all gone”
Though green slime in his heart now lies

New Year

Midnight 
Fireworks
New year
Never hurts

Back in
Party hard
Back out
Fresh start

Midnight
Head hurts
New year
Never works

Back in 
Party starts
Black out
Falling hard

The Sun

from all the despair and hopelessness
i created a sun
and gazed upon it
it was powerful
but i knew it was hollow
but it was because of the sun
that i could move on
and that sun shone bright in my heart
for quite a while
and all the fake strength and fake hope i created 
flourished
until it collapsed 
into what it was made of
for no sun that was made this way
was to shine forever
and you can't force something
that wasn't there in the first place

Let It Out

I closed my eyes.

A long time has passed
Since i saw It.

I unchained the door.
Opened the countless locks.
Broke the last seal.
Took a deep breath.
Pushed open the heavy door.

Dust everywhere, jumping in confusion by the sudden gust of fresh air.
A slice of light peering into the darkness as the door opened.

It stared at me, its eyes glowing like tiny embers in the dark.
I had nothing to say to It. 
But It understood.

More Dust fell as It rose up to full size, slowly heading for the door.
It was still bigger than me.
Despite all the time spent here.
I frowned.

All these year I shut It away.
Willingly.
I did so for my own good.
For the sake of the ones I cared about.
It hurt them too much already.

But without It...
Without It I could be happy. And I was.
Yet I never imagined such emptiness.

It covered its dimmed eyes as It stepped out.
The light was reflected by its claws,  still as sharp as they have ever been. 
I looked at It in disgust as It shook of the dirt, revealing its magnificent black wings.

I never wondered if It was angry.
I knew It was. But It knew well to hide it. For now.

Suddenly It let out a roar so loud that the whole place trembled.
… or was it just me trembling?
It stepped uncomfortably close to me.
Its eyes fixated on me with a stare penetrating into the depth of my soul.
Staring, as if asking me if I was sure of my decision.
I wasn't.
Yet I was still determined to give It a chance,
To Let It out.

It smirked, fully aware of all my thoughts. 
The fire in its eyes blazed anew.
Then It transformed.
Retracted its wings and sharp claws.
Lost its horns and pointy teeth.
It almost looked human.
And I swore I would tame It.

I opened my eyes again and looked at my new self.
I finally felt whole again.

Degeneration

On a lonely summer’s night
Thinking ‘bout the wrongs and rights
Not much words are left to say
Disappeared and gone away

Mind is mad as heart is broke
Emptiness that makes you choke
Close the eyes and take a breath
Leave your tired body rest

Forgetting all the cheerful songs
All the laughs we went along
All the rage which burned the hopes
All the tears inside your soul

Wake up with a freshened mind
Much to learn not much to find
Live your life like every day
Except the shallow nothing stays
