floating into nothing
lonely as i feel
the wound it makes within me
cannot ever heal
gone away for hours
gone away for years
loneliness inside me
floating with these tears
along this quiet sea
endlessly i weep
crying for companions
emptiness grows deep
every moment treasured
your voice revives my soul
but in the midst of absence
i feel that i'm not whole
a crowd so full in vastness
cov'ring all this land
every where there's people
yet alone, i stand
standing in this bleakness
only he remains
giving me his hope
and numbing all my pains
dreaming of tomorrow
and all that it could hold
sleeping with my angel
such stories could be told
to tell him of this aching
or hide beneath his wing
just lying in his comfort
and the hope he brings
but here, i sit alone
no angel, now, in sight
i'm sitting here in darkness
forbidden of his light
gone away to others
loneliness now reigns
the angel used to love me
but now there's only pain
so here i stand, in sorrow
the feathers blow away
this wind so full of mourning
it weeps throughout the day
emptiness and sorrow
fill that silver sky
my angel's gone forever
so here i sit and cry
09/13/98 Demon Battles
what am i supposed to do?
when things fall apart
i sit alone in sadness
and nurse a broken heart
hiding every bandage
waiting for some aid
but i just sit there, waiting
nursing wounds i made
wars are fought around me
all the love, they kill
drowning me in sadness
with loneliness, i fill
buried under sorrow
i look into your eyes
all i see is anger
and thunder fills the skies
i hide beneath my angel
and hope your storm will pass
but when i kneel before you
i crawl on broken glass
every moment kills me
eating up my soul
filling me with sorrow
you dig the gravest hole
floods, they wash around me
a sea of endless tears
crying for this madness
cascading me with fears
your anger beats me soundless
submissively i crawl
waiting just for something
to come and break my fall
aimlessly i wander
the hope, i look for more
it seems i won the battle
but still, i've lost the war...
