an oldie

life inside me whithered
pieces violently torn
in half what's left has slithered
to darkness lost forlorn

weakness now diverted
to strength for suffering sake
a night too real to breathe through
puts passion in it's place

gold bands do sparkle sweetly
until the floor
consumes
converse a bitter laughter
no weight in sterile rooms

wave the hand of freedom
thru choking tears of loss
anger fast replaces
knights of memory tossed


until then
hot tears won't cry

until then
regrets untied

until then
forever fly

until then
good bye


mirror marks handwriting
paper strands of hope
furnace not understanding
the sorrow or the joke

dreams will weave
in scenes unseen
terror of soft souls
without the spark of sanity
awake with frozen cold

murder remote of sympathy
forgot to knock the door
take the keys and leave
be
one choice
forever more

so plan the way and run
today time getting short
never know
what truth shall hold
hold onto fortress court


until then
hot tears won't cry

until then
regrets untied

until then
forever fly

until then
good bye
good bye

until then
good bye.
