april

My heart echoes
In the bareness of this room
It echoes
Through the silence of your eyes
My mind's caught
On the rocks of your bluff
It's caught
Dwelling on your touch

Can you be moved
Or does the cold run deep
Underneath my breath
Sighing the lament of
Every tortured soul

You are the faker
My heart's court jester
Amusement is lost
On a heart once engulfed
Burning with the heat
Flaming with intensity
Now grown cold

Spring's warmth thaws the ground
Blanketing the earth in green
Clothing the trees
Bringing hope
Once more
Us

I look up at the sky
And I wonder

sameness

I sleep away the night
Dreaming of the times you let me down
The silent words of your eyes
Casting shadows on the corners of my mind
Blackening a once hopeful soul
And sowing the seeds of a fate doomed to die
The price of a man is one love
But such a price you would never pay

dismal

Winter moves slowly
An unwelcome cold in spring
Flowers are all dead
