taking my chances
letting my heart roll
rocking back and forth
on the hard waves
of the tides
of pain
the empty despair
letting it all ride
on that one moment
the high of promise
the crashing reality
of the end
and it falls apart
before my eyes
with the broken
shards of a dream
laying in the sand
KLS

seeking the answers
to the unknown questions
that linger in my broken heart
seeking the truth
within the lies
I have been fed
over time and time again
seeking so much
within so little
but yet never finding
anything
KLS

looking into the mirror
seeing the reality
so clearly pure
the hideous nature
of what I have been
and what I am to become
the darkness that seeps
into my blood
the blackness of the pain
the anguish of tears unshed
the horror of the moment
held within my soul
deep inside the space
where my heart
used to be
KLS

knowing what I know
being who I am
I can no longer
live with the lie
coming to the realization
of the master plan
the shade of deception
rises high above
all is revealed
to be truth
or lies
within this heart
of mine
KLS

standing under the star
lite midnight sky
pour out my soul
into the night
begging for mercy
to heal this heart
to mend the wounds
that dance across it
the deep scars
of love misled
of a life undone
praying for the end
to begin again
in this circle
of my existance
KLS

tightly closed
shielding my heart
away from
the rest of life
protecting it deep
inside my soul
is the petals
of the softest
rose
the sweetest scent
locks away
the greatest love
ever known
KLS

one night he held me
cradling my dream
in his hand
telling me of love
the master plan
of picket fences
a home so sweet
a loving child
the whole deal
wrapped lovingly with care
from him to me
I turned for only a second and the whole dream
crashes to the ground
with a ringing sound
I find him
cradling the child
I craved so badly
the life I held so dear
he has
without me
KLS

reaching deep into my soul
tearing it apart
shredding what is left
of my trust
and faith
in love
the human race
destroying my belief
in promises
of forever
truthful moments
and honesty
shattered dreams
KLS

the numbing reality
of lonely hours
seeking the sanity
I once posessed
so easily
trying to find
what was stolen
away from inside
of my soul
the emptiness
echos deep in my being
till I can no longer bear
the sound
tis the end
of the beginging
the end of all
KLS
