Feeding my inner demons just to save my soul I don't know how I got here I don't know if I'm whole. There's a deeper darkness sleeping, underneath my skin a breath away a whisper away waiting for me to let it in.

The gritty crunch of sand under my boots echoed loudly in my ears. Every step lands with a thud and scrape no matter how hard I try to stay quiet. I'm waiting for the dull thud of a grenade behind me. I vault a low pile of rubble, and then my ears pop, the rocks on the floor jump slightly, and I feel more than hear the explosive go off. The orange status icon at the edge of my periphery goes briefly red, then neutral grey. Under normal conditions, that could mean any number of things. Power pack died. Broken antenna coil. Software error in the status module. Gauntlet removal for some reason. My mind turns over each of them as I continue thro

I no longer feel the words of ancient unknown power the words would echo the lines would flow the way would be clear an echo of firelight then the darkness comes I cannot hear the music I cannot taste the rain I know not if I'll ever find my way again

I wish I'd never loved you, every now and then bittersweet memories and missed opportunities clouded judgement and misunderstood responsibilities did it do any good, the stand that I took the hard line I drew in the sand? did it soften your heart, as it tore me apart, did you ever even understand? years of my life, on the jagged knife of hope sunk deep in my gut what good did it do, my time loving you when I clearly never made the cut?

Not all roads forever run not all things can e're be done not all darkness is touched by sun ashes to ashes, dust to dust this beautiful world falls to rust sing a song of sadness, of teardrops flowing down sing a song of darkness, of weeping without sound sing a song of aimlessness, of trying not to drown not for what you've given not for what you've lost not for things forgotten not for lack of cost I can see your heartbreak I can see your tears I can hear your weeping I understand your fears Light will shine in darkness fear becomes delight when the clouds are gone again the stars fill up the night

carry on my wayward son there's no peace when you are done you'll never lay your head to rest your tears will overflow there's nothing here but noise and confusion that glimpse of hope is naught but illusion you were rising even higher, but you're soon to die every eye can see you're still just a blind man the words you speak are but the ravings of a mad man you hear voices when you're dreaming whispering to say just give up my wayward son there's no peace when you are done you'll never lay your head to rest you'll cry forever more

Death is but a whisper teasing in the dark beckoning with peace and rest ’till it finds its mark Death is not your plaything playful though it seems with iron claws and dripping jaws ripping up your dreams Death is less compelling when through the dark you’ve been this world has fearsome wonders that none of you have seen I’ve walked the hidden pathways I’ve seen beyond the veil I’ve nested with the shadelings I’ve walked among the skrael The biting dark it has no peace The whispers are a lie Death has no more answers than either you or I Take care, dear little dragon as you walk the streets my soul wo

I flirt with the darkness with hidden glances and accidental touch daring not to plunge in deep A twisted game I confess but it's all I can manage the price is just too steep My steps are under duress I crave to cast away the aching morals the template that I'm forced to keep Silent tears of shattered love Faceless fears of tattered love Blank-faced cheer of scattered love I flirt with the darkness, it calls me by name. I want to respond, to play all its games. Lost in the light, I'm shackled by shame. Reaching and searching, distrusting its claims. Grief soul-stricken and lost in gloom Alone in the place I cannot call my tomb I ache for t
