We're all dancing though life
Living such translucent lies
We all see them so clearly, but pay them no mind
Lost in deep forests, amidst the thorns and overgrowth
Unable to find warmth in this December freezing cold

The bitter taste of death, an eternal tragedy
Repetitious cycles of such commonplace misery
We're far too tired to climb up to the surface to see the sunlight caress the evergreens
Wandering around lost in the shadows that dare not pierce beneath

Hope vanishes from within us
No dreams to give purpose
An entire lifetime searching for a god to beg his forgiveness
Questioning silently to ourselves
The answers we know full well
I know a thing or two about loneliness,
I've felt a lifetime in Hell

Good one..

Good one..

nice write ...


as a small child left along in the house ...
on the corner ... my father saw nothing wrong leaving me alone ... back in the day... at times sure felt as if it was hell...
I was so scared ...
I would go to bed with a knife and hammer...
expecting the worst in this large home...
never once to close my eyes ...
and could scream ...yet know one would know ...an
I would never tell anyone my fear and
then loved hearing the car & door open and new it was ...
just my dad coming in ...
I could finally get to sleep for school the nxt day ...
sure felt like a lifetime in hell ...
when it was dark and he was not there ...
and I felt that loneliness
but figured only a child's nightmare...
nothing to be afraid of... Ha...
