Pointless...

You're pointless, so am I,
but yet this argument
can be my identity, believe me
silence is hardest to keep.
And I hold onto being pointless,
like a verdict of my fate,
I came into being with this thought
that silence is what words create.

Sacrifice this journey....

It seems like your decision
running away from everything in life,
regretting your decision,
you're isolated from yourself,
but tonight you can end this pain
and set yourself free in a million ways
each beautifully cruel
sacrifice your journey, poor soul.
Could this mean the end?
Could it be your destiny?
and what of your dreams
which will become your father's nightmares.
It seems like you're in search
of something you'll never find,
but you lost yourself in this search,
wonder how cruel victory is.
You're a stranger in your own street,
call for mercy,
tonight you can only loose
something you never gained.

When I found you...

When I found you,
it was only a name; carved
on a dusted tombstone,
in a nature held silence, and
crafted patience.
I see you in shadows, My Martyr,
where the light doesn't reach;
mystically patient for those
who you left in these
secluded alleys of pain.
When I found you,
it was in my future where
my past was sacrificed,
for, you'll again return,
to the places you've ever cried.
Because I know that
this tombstone has concealed
a graveyard in itself,
that recognizes every passersby
as a grave digger.
When I found you,
it was in my poetry, that,
you suddenly came
like a couplet one night,
and then, percepitated in my eyes.
When I found you,
it was in my soul,
a little broken piece;
When I found you...

Overcome...

Overcome this silence,
if you cannot overcome the grief,
why be patient for a thousand more nights;
when impatience can heal the wounds?
If I can tell you, that
my eyes melt quicker than my heart does,
I will beautifully lie, though
that's what it appears to be.
If I can tell you, that
a silent soul is always serene,
I'll beautifully lie, though
that's what it appears to be.
Overcome the breathless gaps
that kill you when you sob;
if you cannot overcome the pain
that brings you in my heart.
If I can tell you, that
we're all awake,
I'll beautifully lie, though
that's what it appears to be.
