In the Dark
There are times when I'm inconsolable
when the world around me becomes too much
and my demons come out to feast on me again
There are times when I'm hopeless
when I'm too lost to return home
and I don't need your comforting touch
I just need to be left alone to sit quietly in the dark
Don't offer me a friendly hand
nor a tender embrace of love
Just let me surround myself with shadows
and let my troubles eat me whole
Don't try to save me when I can't be saved
and keep your tender words for another day
a day when the tides of my heart have changed
and my soul flows the other way
But until that time remember that I love you
and that you're still the keeper of my heart
but for the moment love is not my friend
and your tender touch and sweetest smile
are like poison to my aching soul
So let me be
Let me sit alone in the dark
Let me find comfort in forgotten lusts
Let me bandage my heart with solitude
and dry my tears with time
I know that you understand
and I pray that you'll return
Because I long for when I can emerge from these shadows
and once again cherish the smile glistening
across your sweet, tender face

Aftermath Of Hell
The sky above is more clouded than blue,
The ground is potted and laid to waste.
Everything is quiet, the wildlife is few,
Death surrounds us with a dislikeful taste.
No more shouts and cries,
No more blazing through the random weather.
A lone soldier collapses before he dies,
With blood running from under his belt of leather.
The day seems young, yet it seems so long,
Devastation and excitement fill the air more.
Emerging like rabbits to join in with the song,
The fight is over, no killing, no war.
