Fading Night

I closed my eyes, I held on tight.

I dreamed a little dream tonight.

I wished upon a star--

to make things right.

 

I held my nose, I took a breath,

this water ain't too deep yet.

I'll learn to float on by--

just in time.

 

The moon falls back to her nest,

the stars lay down to their rest.

And I dream of you--

to pull me through.

 

I closed my eyes, I held on tight.

I dreamed of you again tonight.

I wish I may, I wish I might--

hold you close for just one night.

Remember This

I woke up this morning,

alone and ready to go.

You tried to talk to me,

but the voice was another echo.

I've heard it all before.

These things you want to say.

I slipped on my dress,

said Remember This,

and turned and walked away.

 

The heels hit the pavement,

my boots clogging away.

I never turned my head down,

I was too afraid I'd stay.

My heart racing, pulse aching,

soul throbbing in pain.

I can't leave without a fight,

on this I know you're right.

And God I wish it wasn't this way.

You grab my arm, pull me around

with just one more thing to say.

Remember This. And you seal it with a kiss,

your lips so wet with pain.

Forget the rest, hold on to the best,

and maybe there will come another day.

 

I closed my eyes, not sure what I'd say.

So sincere, yet so unclear.

Should I still walk away?

You took my hand and led me back,

so easily I caved.

Remember This, I heard you say,

as you whispered my name.

And suddenly all these moments felt the same.

Was it wrong to want of you

more than I could have?

Was it merely a dream, an echo, it seems,

from some distant land?

 

I open my eyes, look to the sky

and see the stars overhead.

I held you close and held you tight

and lay flowers on your solemn bed.

Remember This. Two simple words.

All the stone under the tree said.

I'll visit you, you know I will.

Soon enough. Just like you always said.

 

Soon enough, the blood rolls down

and my body falls.

Just one more fight to end them all.

My heart stops beating, my soul stops breathing.

I lie quiet and I wait.

You appear ever so near, and take my hand again.

Remember This. On my lips, a kiss

as my body waits right next to yours.

 

The second stone,

name unknown,

placed there to rest.

Same tree, same nest,

same simple words blessed.

Remember This.

Forget the rest.

Watching A Way

I tried so hard so many times to find a way to get through.

I tried so hard to find a way but it was something I just couldn't do.

I held on tight to my dreams that one day it would change.

I prayed and begged to find a way, but some things stay the same.

Is this all there is that you have to say?

Is there nothing more, nothing else to put within this way?

I choose to look ahead and move on from the pain.

Yet here I am watching for you every single day.

Future Seeds

These are the times we hoped for.

These are the times we dreamed of.

These are the things we won't let go.

But what becomes of that love?

I feel so strongly now

these things I crave to share.

Yet I fear myself already too late,

for no one else is there.

I close my eyes and ask your gods

what tribute they did seek.

Only to find those horrors were right,

we all sow what we reap.

Bleeding Memories

These are the times that I wonder

but I know I'll never regret.

These are the things that I ponder

but I know I'll never forget.

I closed my eyes but not my heart.

I was bound to this from the start.

The world that we lose

more with each passing minute.

And yet we seem idle to even be in it.

My past has not forsaken the trials I have seen.

And my soul has not forgotten the places I have been.

These memories within me, they weep and bleed.

For the soul that's aching, it has sown this awful seed.

The treachery I dreamed of, it is a done deed.

And these moments I crave, they are the nitemare of your seed.
