Dead Of Night By TheHen The Darkening Night, Sending Chills Down My Spine, Where Is The Light? Along

Is it not the same,

If I break your heart,

Since you broke mine?

I wonder why I see a fire,

Burning in the water.

Life

We're always lost cats,

Playing our torturous lives,

Chasing on life's tail.

We journey through our lives,

Though no one knows what lies,

In the dark corner of our minds,

That we overlook,

That seems so obsolete,

Blown away,

In the swirling wind that sways.

Constantly crushed,

Our voices always shushed,

The petrichor so fresh,

The pain marked in our flesh.

Likewise,

We will always rise,

And fall.

Despite all the demise,

The hope is here,

The clouds will clear,

The new tomorrow,

Erasing the sorrow.

Despite everything,

There will be ringing,

That calls the changing,

The lingering,

The breaking.

And we will be,

Forever singing.

Shattered Skies

Open air, no soul, no mind,

Drift away,

Away, away,

Before the blue,

Before the clouds bestowed upon,

Endless arrays.

No waiting for time,

Door of sublime,

I scream,

You dream,

Vast, vast,

Away, away,

First or last,

No matter.

Crimson streaks,

Dust, death reeks,

Burning, barren trees,

No such thing as free,

Run, run,

Away, away,

Inferno devours,

Ashen flowers.

Wall of glass,

Between Earth and Sky,

Reaching, grasping,

Yet no stars for clasping,

Banging, banging,

Against the glass,

Desperately trying,

Cracking, cracking,

Maybe it’s breaking,

I want to ride the clouds,

Fly, fly,

Away, away,

I wish to never stay.

Why, why,

Can’t I shatter these skies,

Take me away,

From this ground smitten decay,

I pray, pray,

Please, please,

I’ve been at it for years,

It’s forced me to tears,

Break away,

Away, away,

Just let me,

Shatter the skies.

Shatter this nightmare.

When I think of home,

I think of you,

Where the skies were a beautiful blue,

Where there were never tears nor rue,

Where the crackling hearth,

Bathed it's warmth into the Earth,

Its dancing flames,

Reminding me,

Of the echoed laughter,

And the times on the porch,

With the sunlight shining,

When we sat together.

Goodbye

What am I to you?

I feel like it's my cue,

To put my hand in the air,

Since you said you cared,

Just to leave me there.

So few rememeber,

The definition of joy,

Now it's already December,

A few weeks,

Till a whole new year.

We wipe away the tears,

Saying we're all clear,

Pretending that others are not in fear,

Living just for our own selves,

Hiding the secrets in shelves,

Smiling in fake cheer.

Now that you lied,

Now that you think you tried,

Now that you are free,

You forget to be there for me.

I'm not waiting anymore.

I thought you knew before,

But you're just another traitor,

Thinking I'm just a hater.

Opening the door,

I turn my back,

Bringing my pack,

Waving my hand,

Setting off to a new land.

I'm sorry,

But there's no choice better.

It may tear us apart,

Scar our hearts,

However,

I only have one thing to say.

"Goodbye."

It's funny how,

We look at words,

We are stunned by their meaning,

We give them so much prestige,

We are enchanted by their form,

Yet it is almost never thought,

That it all comes from our eyes,

From the other world,

Of silent nature.

If you had to choose one,

Between two,

Who would you choose?

There really is no lie,

Impossible to deny,

Why, why, why,

Does it always have to end in demise.

Neither is better,

A heart compared to a feather,

Can't I choose all?

Or must one fall?

- I am torn.

After the Rain

Maybe we’re just waiting for the hope,

That lingers with the fresh scent of the rain,

But it’s so hard to cope,

With the desolations of ash,

Falling in flurries,

So seamless,

Gentle,

The marking of a new day,

In barren pain.

The rain,

Clear, faint droplets,

That make a resounding splatter,

Soaking the ashen ground,

Like a serenade,

The harmony of the wind,

The whispering leaves,

And the rippling rain,

A song so pure,

So graceful,

That overpower,

The stinging pain.

It seemed so lifeless,

Hopeless,

Useless,

When there was no sound,

Amidst the smokey haze,

Just the Earth in it’s silent stance,

Like time itself was in a trance,

When the first rain,

Hit the ground,

The skies crying out,

Their sorrow,

And the uncertainty of tomorrow.

Then, so strange,

There was a calm yet sudden change,

When the clouds bellowed,

Their last thunder,

And moved on,

The illumination of the sun,

Unseen for so long,

And if you listened,

Ever so carefully,

You could hear the soft singing,

From the birds beyond.
