Shed crimson falling
Pain, pleasure, life and freedom
Joy cutting the soul
Life's a bitch and then you die
Bend the world over and make it cry
Fuck it hard and fuck it fast
Make it's memory of you last
The demon in my soul cries
And another piece of me dies
So I walk through the rain
Just to forget all the pain
Please look upon me wicked angel
Bless me with your heavenly smile
My breeze on a summer day
A salve upon my mind
I just feel so lost some days
My path turns so many ways
It looks empty and so dreary
I walk it feeling so weary
Shine for me beloved moon
Guide my steps when they falter
My beacon through the void
Tether for my soul
Each moment that you're not there
I struggle with crushing despair
I'm living and breathing alone
Longing for the lover I have not known
Hold me goddess of the dark
Wrap me in your loving embrace
My blanket of strength and comfort
Shield against monsters so real
I hear a silence so loud it shatters the soul
Tearing and breaking and leaving nothing whole
This is the sound that exists here
A place where there are no others near
I close my eyes and look upon you
A fantasy so thin I can see right through
I'm alone in silence so profound
A silence that has become a sound
So loud that it can pierce my dream
Silence that rings out like a desperate scream
This poem was given birth earlier tonight when I saw the empty Vamp Box, the stillness of the box gave me inspiration. However, as I was lying in my bed and trying to sleep it suddenly evolved in my mind. It poked and prodded at me, threatening to drive me mad until I got out of bed to record it. Here is it's original form for those who are interested:
The Quiet Box
A silence so loud it shatters the soul
Tearing and breaking and leaving nothing whole
This is the sound that exists here
A place where there are not other words near
