Memory and Future

Dying at the hands of the master within,
Pain burning so deeply, heart is seeping.
Breath is short, I force this agony.
Take it apart, pull the bones to ruin. 
I gain nothing from your empty words
And loathe every moment inside my skin.

The smallest signs filter past my mind,
The watchful eyes fail to see the distinction. 
Holding out for some desperate ray of consolation – 
Its resolution bleeds, these thoughts I need. 
Sleepless and swelling, fears spread.
Carcasses piled at the foot of the bed. 




FORGOTTEN

And the smoke that filled the air 
Choked the lungs of everyone around here.
I bled a thousand lies and told a million truths
But it all fell down the same; I never knew the pain – 
What was it that was worthy I gained?
I cannot feel the pain, there is nothing else here.
I regretted the places I stole, the words I repeated,
The hearts I heard beating, the lungs heaving and swelling.
The world was never the same, the lakes swallowed prevail.
I guessed my heart’s desires, I held out for a dream never pure. 
I wanted to believe, I wanted to take her apart.
The hopes and the thoughts gained, the realm I saved – 
All coming down and falling away;
Ever a secret shadow and a soundless scream.
