Pain Of The Abyss
She is a beauty, so fine, so sweet,
There is no heart that can compete.
Friendship and care she gives to all,
there is no one that she lets fall.
So, why, in one that is so sweet,
who is so strong, yet incomplete?
She stands alone, no help she takes,
where does she go when her heart aches?
Forcing a smile, she pushes away,
with a wave of her hand she holds help at bay.
But look in her eyes, you cannot miss,
you can see through them her great abyss.
Beutiful they are, but hold so much pain,
they tell her secret and threaten to rain.
Her silent struggle takes its toll,
the battle inside tears at her soul.
With but a glance, her eyes betray all,
yet, still there is no one she will call.
No one can se you cry in the rain,
so let it rain for her, let her release the pain.
Why does she hide what is all ready done?
She pushes away, she's forever alone. . .
Shadow Lover
In the dark of night she finds me, and it could be no other.
In the hands of darkness binds me, only the shadow lover.
She temps me to take her, to make her one with me,
to be one with the darkness that is all of what is she.
She finds me when I am alone,and she slowly steals my heart,
her icy grip surrounds me, hastenining my depart.
I long to reach out and touch her, to know her tender embrace,
I am ready to leave my countainance, and stare death in the face.
Even now she is waiting, she knows my every thought.
She follows me, reminds me, of the trouble that life has wrought.
How can I resist, my temptress, when you are all I've got?
I seek the solace of your arms, despair is what I've caught.
But then a voice calls out to me, reaching through the haze,
and as I see who's calling me, into a little girls eyes I gaze.
"Daddy, daddy, dont leave me! You cant go away! I wont let you!
Please come back to me daddy, I will be lost without you!"
I see what it is that holds on to me, seperating me from my love,
the little girl is my daughter, white as snow and pure as a dove.
The shadow lover does not want to lose, and holds on as I try to break free,
I am torn between these oppositions, and thay both try to take away me.
I dont want to lose either, but in the end it wasn't mine to choose,
my fight with life comes to an end, and I am the one to lose.
The little girl I left standing there, the one I claim as my own,
she knows that I always loved her, that love has always shown.
but the shadow lover stands in triumph, taking me into her arms,
I become one with the shadow lover, unknown to outside harms.
We dance through the night, my shadow lover and I,
her radiance flows through the air and permeats the sky.
I am in the arms of the shadow lover, she is graceful as she is fine,
and I know one day I'll go reclaim the little girl I once called mine. . .
Have you cried a thousand tears?
Have you ever just wanted to scream?
Have you faced your deepest fears?
Did you realize it was a dream?
Have you ever thought about what you start?
Did you ever think to try?
Have you taken more than your part?
Did you ever just want to die?
The world that found its way to my heart
has crippled my caring ways,
And in agony I try in part
but never will I feel your gaze.
Have you ever cried a thousand tears?
I know I asked before.
You have realized my darkest fears,
and I have cried a thousand more. . .
