Shadow

I lay here silent in the dusk
Away from prying eyes and ears
I let the smile slide off my face
And I can give way to my tears
It hangs above us like a cloud
A dark dense mist that blocks our view
An evil fog of shattered dreams
That slowly eats through me and you
It hovers over as we sleep
It stalks behind us in the light
It just gets faster if we run
Getting stronger if we fight
It makes me doubt my faith in us
Can we survive this if we fail?
The thought of life under this shadow
Makes it ache to just inhale
It’s every word we never say
It’s every look we dare not share
It blows the mind and breaks the heart
No rules, no justice, nothing fair
The years are passing way too fast
Each with more bitterness and fear
The world in danger of collapsing
Cracking with each hidden tear
Behind the mask, it’s not ok
Despite our seeming joie de vie
Without this dream held in our arms
The darkness will not set us free
New beginning

Starting today a new beginning
I will no longer doubt our strength
To keep us both from going under
I swear I’ll go to any length
I’m sorry that we lost our way
But please believe these words are true
The only family I long for
Is one thats part of me and you
I wasn’t prepared to feel this helpless
For it to ever be this hard
Something that should have been so natural
To leave us torn, stripped bare and scarred
Whatever’s past, I’ve never doubted
The way you’ve loved me from the start
My world just makes no sense without you
You are my home, you are my heart
But this is hard, we’re only human
The world won’t shatter if we shout
We need to stop walking on eggshells
And tell the truth, just let it out
This should have never been our burden
We don’t deserve what we go through
But I will only walk this path
Because I’m walking it with you
You knew

It never ceases to amaze me
How heartless some people can be
How past their own selfish agenda
They can never seem to see
How could you stand with a straight face
And accept his wounded heart
When you knew that you would crush it
And then burn every little part?
You knew he was already broken
But yet you made us all believe
What exactly did you want here?
What were you hoping to achieve?
One heart can only take so much
What, did you think this was a game?
You took his heart, his soul, his pride
Now he will never be the same
You knew he could not face the dark
But you’ve extinguished every light
How can you stand your own reflection?
How will you ever sleep at night?
I’ll never understand your thinking
There’s no excuse for what you’ve done
How could you let him fall in love
When you knew you weren’t the one?
Black and White

I wonder how we are so different
You see the world in black and white
You can not seem to see the magic
The way life shimmers in the light
I know that even when it’s dark
There can be beauty in the pain
I see a chance to be renewed
But you can only see the rain
To me there’s poetry in everything
All thoughts, emotions magnified
My feelings written on my face
I couldn’t hide them if I tried
You seem to think I should be able
To just accept things and move on
To shut my pain up in a box
Convince myself that nothing’s wrong
But I have no concept of that life
Sometimes to fly, you have to fall
To live without a fire, a passion
That’s not a life to me at all
