Persevering Love

I don't want to deny that my heart still bleeds and yearns for you
Know this truth, though I may front, all that I say and feel is true
I've given up on searching for a certain one that will heal me
What's the point searching for something that I know can never be?

I go through days just like a ghoul existing searching for my fate
An endless hope that somehow maybe for me your real love does wait
So here I stand with nothing left to give up but a broken heart
A slow pulse that is faint and weak since the last time our ways did part

Until I'm proven that this love is meaningless and has no grounds
Be sure that as long as I live my love for you will stick around
I know that you will experience the vastness the world has to show
In my silence I pray for you, that you're kept safe where you do go

But despite the space between us, and despite all the wrongs I've done
I'm never going to let this go until this man is dead and gone
So let me leave you to your life and fly like a dove white and pure
You'll venture out, fulfill your dreams, achieve your goals, of that, I'm sure

Acceptance Of Death

Sitting here in the confinements
A room consumed with dead silence
Reflecting on life in darkness
Fighting thoughts of death and sadness

As Death acquires souls around
Their bodies buried underground
My mind, clenched, tries to fight the pain
Until some sanity's regained

Acceptance of Death, we must know
Requires some numbness in our souls
As mortals search through the windows
For signs of grief, but we've let go

Prayers tranport us to the doors
Of realms unseen, knees on the floor
Minds consumed in a darkened state
Pondering the paths to our fates

Our destines we may create
By the gates of death, loved ones wait
For who says in fear we must wail
And without riches we have failed?

Now we must venture into caves
Of nightmares beyond what sin craves
And combat states of mind, prepare
For what awaits us, looming near

As stillness of the air does bind
My conplicated state of mind
Thoughts of sadness, I must defeat
Where realness of life and death meets

Until Then...

You held me in your arms so tight
I felt your soft heartbeats inside
Your smile, my sunlight in the dark
In my life you have left a mark

I'll cherish my memories you
Until with this life I am through
My heart is at peace, you're with me
Though gone, you're here eternally

Just you and me, stroll by the shores
I yearn for you to stay some more
Sleep tight, dear one, so endlessly
And until that day, wait for me

Peace In My Heart

I feel no more pain, inside my rib cage
I can now maintain, peace replaces rage
I am free from you, I am free from blues
I'm finally true to myself, it's through

When we meet there'll be nothing left to say
Just the history, all that's gone away
Silence smoothers me with tranquility
Shadows enclose me in their entities

I can close my eyes, my heart is at ease
Where my body lies, I can rest in peace
No more of nightmares, I'm no longer here
No more dreaded fears, no more falling tears
