Darkview

Her days drift by from dawn to dusk,
Beneath the sun's emblazoned husk,
Each night awash in cold dismay,
Just dreading the approaching day,

She thinks back to her younger days,
Behind the warm rose-tinted glaze,
Each hope a long forgotten dream,
Just ripples in her memory stream,

Her path has brought her far from home,
Beneath these skies where demons roam,
Each battle fought for nothing real,
Just shallow wounds that cannot heal.

She looks towards the coming days,
Behind this dark depressing haze,
Each day another pointless blend,
Just waiting for her time to end.

Verse #485

Free me from the shackles and the prison of my mind,
take me from the darkness to the light I left behind,
help me find some comfort in the love of my own kind,
give me just one chance to see the world our dreams designed.

Verse #484

Standing at the barricade of all we've come to fear,
knowing that the time to act is ever drawing near,
we bid farewell to those we love and all that we hold dear,
the bond we share contained within each warm and loving tear.

Verse #483

Lock your heart away from all the hurt this life can bring,
keep you soul in solitude and never let it sing,
fill your life with objects and avoid love's fatal sting,
you'll find that you have nothing though you may own everything.

Verse #482

Though life has brought us pain and woe,
and darkness is all that we know,
together we can light a flame,
and change the rules of this cruel game.

Verse #481

The damage of our torrid past is never truly lost,
our sanity and sanctity the cold and final cost,
each remedy and therapy can never bring resolve,
in time the pain will swallow us and hope will just dissolve.

Verse #480

Your love is like an ocean- ever crashing at my shore,
my mind caught in the flotsam and the jetsam of your tides,
my soul long set adrift to be with you ever more,
my heart absorbed into the peace your dark embrace provides.

Verse #479

Life is like a jungle filled with danger and intrigue,
the journey long and torturous and peppered with fatigue,
we each seek out a paradise where all can be at peace,
where love can stand above us all and war can truly cease.

Verse #478

My place of birth defined the moral compass of my soul,
my childhood soon taught me of the need for self control,
my teenage years required that I live for more than me,
my adulthood is now my own to be all I can be.

Verse #476

Find the light of ancient truth,
inside the secrets of our youth,
beyond the lies of man-made law,
back to the signs our prophets saw.

Verse #475

When all the world has left you in the depths of your despair,
When all you've ever had has gone and no one else could care,
When all you feel is pain and hurt that no one else could bear,
remember that- no matter what- my love is always there.

Verse #474

The shadows of the past dictate each motion your heart makes,
The world around you changing with each path your conscience takes,
The secrets that you've hidden will expose your soul in time,
The damage to all those you've loved will ever be your crime.

Verse #473

Don't look back on the things I've done with anger or alarm,
don't dwell upon the things I've said for they mean you no harm,
think only of the love we've shared and all that we've been through,
regardless of what fate may bring my heart belongs to you.

Verse #472

Be strong, my dearest soul mate, don't let their darkness in;
be brave, my treasured sister, don't get lost in this tide;
keep faith, my precious angel, don't give in to their sin;
keep safe, my kindred spirit, in my heart you can hide.

Verse #471

Life can give and it can take,
this roller coaster with no brake,
that blurs the real into the fake,
in spite of every move you make.

Verse #470

Time is not our friend nor is it on our side,
no way to halt its progress or even slow the tide,
we cannot change the future nor find a place to hide,
we simply make the best of it and enjoy our short ride.

Verse #469

Plans are made and paths are changed,
lives are lost or rearranged,
yet what will be is meant to be,
as fate decides for you and me.

Verse #468

You're always here beside me even though you may not know,
forever deep inside my heart no matter where I go,
though time still takes its toll as every scar we have will show,
I know you're always here with me wherever I will go.

Verse #467

Focus all your energy on where you want to be,
the strength we need to take a stand is inside you and me,
from every breath you take to everything you'll ever see,
the smallest thing can change your world and help to set you free.

Verse #466

I seek the light of truth beyond the shadow of all doubt,
the secrets of the word hidden behind religious clout,
the history of those men who walked the deserts long ago,
the lessons that they taught about the God I've come to know.

Verse #465

She stands upon the threshold of her own humanity,
a shadow of the angels through a life of chastity,
a candle in the darkness of man's animosity,
a symbol of pure innocence in her fragility.

Verse #464

She stares into her future through a constant flood of pain,
to find nothing but darkness in the cold torrential rain,
so caught up in the horrors manifested in her brain,
she'll never see her past nor find her present self again.

Verse #463

I look back at my past to find the shadows watching me,
their blackened eyes reflecting what I thought no one could see,
each dark and twisted moment long forgotten from my mind,
just waiting there behind me for the ones I love to find.
