Unrequited

You see me dying,

Yet ask the reason for my crying.

All's I wanted was you to hold,

But you turned away, cold.

I only ever wished the best,

But you assumed the rest.

I only wanted to love.

You see me dying,

Yet ask the reason for my crying.

I only wanted to hold your hand,

But you left me there to stand.

I only wanted to dream,

But you left me to the stream.

You see me dying,

Yet ask the reason for my crying.

So instead, I'll indulge my sorrow.

Allow myself to wallow,

Till my eyes are sallow,

Skin like tallow.

You see me dying,

Yet ask the reason for my crying.

I gave you my heart,

But you wouldn't let it start.

I shared with you my life,

But you wouldn't stay to be my wife.

I gave you everything,

But you just kept turning,

Like I was nothing.

You see me dying,

Yet ask the reason for my dying.

Self Destruct

Try, try
But always fail.
The list grows,
And so does the pain.
Look up and ask why,
Look down and feel the nail.
Try, try
But always fail.
There's only one way out of this mess.

So go on,
Reach inside,
Pull the lever,
From doing fine,
To self destruct.

Pain

Like it or not,
It's necessary.
Wanted or not,
It breaks down the door.
Expected or not,
It destroys.
It's part of life.
Everyone has it.
No one can stop it.
But yourself.
Where is Justice?
She has died in our folly.
Where is Freedom?
He was slain by our self respect.
Where is Liberty?
She has drowned in our sorrow.
Life is full of corruption.
Life is pain.

Time

Time is a theif.
He steals love,
He takes life.
But who can harness this beast?
What hero shall rise,
To take on the unstoppable?

My Love

They say that love fulfills,
That it gives meaning to life.
They haven't seen my love.
My love destroys
With it's fickleness.
My love pains
With it's guise of gains.
My love defies
Never settling for long.
My love is never glorified.
My love hurts.

Wood

Once the strongest
Always the longest.
Used for house
Boat
And beds.
Reliable
Yet still no match
For my axe.
Thump!

Heros

Some come in tights
Others win in fights
But they are not but an illusion
Mirrages of mans brain
They won't hold up to the rain.

Rise Up

Hear the call
To Rise up,
And Fight!
Come what may,
Even disarray,
Rise up,
And Fight!
Wherever you go,
Even in snow,
Rise up,
And Fight!
Whatever they take,
Even your life sake,
Rise up,
And Fight!
For they shall not win,
No matter if their kin,
Rise up,
And Fight!
Until they rise no more,
Or take up their sword,
Rise up,
And Fight!

War with Myself

This is the final confrontation
On a frontier far from here
Only one will walk away
A battle to the bloody end

As I circle my
Arch enemy
Blood boiling
And over confident
I watch that mask he wears
Knowing that I will finally see my enemies face.
But I know I won't like
What I see.
For there before me
Is me.
