Inspiration Unfold

This is who I am.
Or who I could be.
This is how I want you to see me.
Or just the way I feel inside.
The endless inspiration extends
to everything I see and do.
To everyone I know.
Yes, even you.
Of love and lunacy,
anger and pain,
hate and tragedy.
Or just the cause of my misery.
It's very plain to see,
that in the end it's all just me.

Never Alone

Looking back I can see the distance
that I've crossed stretch beyond the horizon.
And along that road I could always
count on you to be right there.
It pains me that fate
split our common path.
But it seems that's the way of this world.
I'd always known I would lose you one day.
So I never took us for granted.
Yet you never left my side untill the bitter end.
And even beyond death I somehow
still feel your presence near.
Going where I stray, tirelessly and
without remorse.
You became a part of me.
Never to be forgotten.

Pardon Me

Thank you for giving me the
life I used to live.
The days spent in a warm embrace.
Lured out of the arms of sorrow.
So they ceased to torment my soul.
The times we stood in the pouring rain.
With eachother for shelter.
And the tireless nights which only
brought sincere consolation
and protection from the world outside.
So many things that remain a long
lost past.
It seems eons ago, so
pardon me if I just turn my back
and walk away.
Because I can't stand the life
I live today.

The Smile

Countless days passed since the
last time I saw her.
My mind strayed from thoughts of her.
And slowly I forgot about the girl
I never had loved.
Untill she passed across the street.
Unsure if it was her I merely
gazed at the ravishing apparition.
When crossing she seemed aware
of my presence.
A smile played across her bright red lips
as she approached.
When she bowed over me
she softly kissed the corner of my mouth.
When I unbelievingly looked up,
I uttered an incoherent question why.
With that same smile she said:
Why don't you come and find out...
And then the dream died softly in silence.

Sad Siren's Song

What an amazing contrast with the life it once knew.
Left behind by it's grief filled past.
So frail and left feeling lone
in a world it once adored.
Now it all seemed filtered through a
blackened lens, scortched by
the fire which once burned within.
Now all that's left is a sad siren's song.
Wailing through the restless nights.
Faint reminders of a better world
pass by every day.
But it seems like it doesn't want
to see.
That it's still the same place,
but no longer carefree.

The Lost Soul

I saw you standing there,
so beautiful and fragile.
Existing in this cold world
without a sense of direction.
The fear of life surrounds
that gentle soul.
No meaning was ever given.
No one to take you by the hand
and show you the right road.
Your sadness seems so perfect and intense.
Which renders me speechless,
left in awe.
You seem too good to be true,
because you see,
I'm just like you...

Monochrome

In this present darkness,
I'm monochrome without you.
My sky's only filled with
a sole black rainbow.
Each bow darker than the next
in a deep blue sky.
Yet it reminds me of the colors,
the colors that you seem to shine.
The mere thought makes me
long for a moment of reconciliation.
If you were only here to console me.
And color my rainbow and
release me from my grey self.
