crisp are the cries i hear in my dreams
i awake to ponder if they are of my own
you find your other self wakes to the weight of my breath
only for me to find you smothered within you own eyes
i close the shade so as not to feel the scorn of your lies
but only to mother child long ago spawned
i try to wrap the gaping wounds
only finding the stain of red upon my shoulder
again i hear the all too familiar cries
are they to be cradled within my arms
or are they to be smothered within my fists
my eyes flutter as i awake upon my pillow
and ponder over the evil that envelopes this world

the concave of my soul longing for the fit
heart hanging low from the weight of the world
growing numb from the chill of humankind
a guttural howl flowing forth from the emptiness
love eluding my everything
the echo of laughter rang out long ago
and the trail of tears has grown thicker with ever pass of time
the essence of my being torn deep within
solitude making life seem incomplete
love eluding my everything
wanting to flood my mind with the image of you
hope shattered as you shadow walks away
cold surging my veins throughout
finding peace in the lone darkness
love eluding my everything

i hear the hollow whisper of the wind through my dreams
his touch stinging the wounds that will never heal
my tears do nothing to ward off the evils of goodness
the silence couldn't come soon enough
waiting in the darkness for the chill to subside
being patient while comfort slowly seeps into my heart
do you hear my silent words screaming out to you
can you feel my pain flowing from my veins
i just want you to hold me, smother me, kill me
