Surrounded by darkness
trapped inside
glass surrounds me
emotions consume me
I'm drowning inside
I'm screaming
but you can't hear me
I'm falling
but you can't see me
my glass shield is broken
you still refuse to see
I'm cut in two
my heart still bleeds
you never understand
I'm just a glass shield
and you see threw me
I am consumed
in this stuffy life
Feeling hot and sick
an open window
a chance to breathe
Take a chance
Try to touch the sky
Lean out
Reach for it
Fingers moving, almost
Reach again
Dammit, miss
Concrete sky
Coming quicker
I think I always
knew
I'd miss.
The grand orchestra is all silent now
and the old ballroom's floor is cold
dust is settling on most spots
and soon will turn to mould
there is no more laughter now
eerie silence is the norm
that reigns over this once gala place
where true love raged like a storm
there was much laughter and happiness then
musical voices harmonised in song
singing of our love so true
that would endure forever long
we would be the special ones
and love to the end of time
we would never leave each other
and life would be so fine
but the ballroom of my heart
is all dusty, diseased and grey
and the orchestra residing within it
has no more strings to play
Do not presume to know me,
as I do not know myself,
a wise man once told me,
keep your friends close,
and your enamies closer,
no enamy is as close as my self,
I am my own worse fear of a morn,
as I look into the mirror,
to see my nemissis stareing back,
steel cold heartless eyes,
gazing deep into a doomed soul,
I turn my back on my self,
out of sight out of mind,
but ever present,
does anyone of us know who we relly are?
and if we did would we stay?
or try to run away?
a never ending race,
which is impossible to win,
myself tormenting myself,
from days break untill nights fall,
who am I?
I do not know,
will I ever know?
who knows?
