Time is infinitely a traitor.
You hold something precious,
and for that single moment,
it is a real and tangible thing.
Then....it's gone!
Never to be found again.
If you're lucky,
that moment will live on,
in your memories.
Like ghostly images,
seen out of the corner of your eye.
Yet more than likely,
for me, they will only be sad,
painful rememberings.
Full of regrets and, guilt!
Oh! It cuts like a knife through my soul!
All I want, is that one single moment back.
For it to be real and tangible once more.
if but for one moment in time.
To hold it once more in my arms.
To tenderly whisper,
I love you...
please forgive me...
please still love me...
please don't forget me...
I love you....
Don't ask, I won't tell,
my secrets are mine to keep!
From now on my heart will be saƒely guarded,
in a state of frozen sleep.
I opened my heart!
I opened my heart!
I opened my heart!
But only bitter crimson tears poured out.
The pain keeps building like a crescendo,
spilling over into my sanity like a poisen.
So I slice the pain away with silver,
watching my life flow away with crimson.
I opened my heart!
I opened my heart!
I opened my heart!
But only bitter crimson tears poured out.
Don't ask, and I won't lie.
My secrets are mine to keep!
Would it have made a difference if I told you,
since you'll still be at my grave to weep?
Standing alone,
in a void of darkness.
I reach for support,
and find there is none.
I cannot see. nor can I hear,
and cannot scream for help.
Waving my arms blindly about,
trying to find my way.
Walking small careful steps,
trying not to fall.
Still, I stumble,
and fall to the cold unforgiving ground.
And there's no one to pick me up,
to help me back on my feet.
Every which way I turn,
there is a wall in front of me.
Far too high to climb,
but it doesn't matter anyways.
There is nothing waiting for me,
on the other side.
Emptiness waits for me everywhere,
it's the curse of my life.
This is eternity,
this is infinity,
this is hell on earth
