Inspiration: Eyes that change colours
Are you torturing me or am in love with pain?
The candle which was lit to burn others,
The wax which never melted,
Seeped into the myths of darkness.
The blood did boil, the heart did howl,
But you were gone...or were you even there?
The story had been told, the eyes were fixed,
But the end had not been reached,
Or was there even a beginning?
Caught in a blue spiral, tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow,
The unsaid words repelled by light,
Death you won't give me,
What you did...
A corner by the side of the window ledge,
Questions I cannot answer,
Flowing ink with an unknown destination,
Names scraped on wooden desks.
Are you there...or are you away?
You are always where I want you to be,
Is it true...or just an illusion?
A truth...and a lie...and
...A silent life...
