In quiet corners of their home, they dwell,

Where dust settles on old passion, and dreams decay,

They move like shadows, mere echoes of a spell,

Of a love once ablaze, now dimmed to gray.

Her eyes, like rain-soaked petals, try to hide the pain,

In her faded nightgown, she longs for an embrace,

No make up, she knows all her efforts would be in vain,

For he no longer sees the canvas of her face...

Based up the song of the same name by the band: ‘Bleed from Within’

…

‘The world I've seen is not for me’,

This peace in my head all but chaos.

Silence indeed is all I need to be free,

Burn this heart on your cross.

‘Turn the page, let me hear you say’,

Upon this rock I broke my back.

Looking into your eyes I feel my heart sway,

Stretch my soul upon your rack.

‘I threw my body in the river’,

Nothing to hide

Honesty

Sincerity

Truthfulness

Fairness

And frankness

Candid

Be careful what you wish for

And be careful how you curse

Deceit

Falsehood

Ulterior motives

Lies

No matter how white

Are not in my nature

Honest

I am forthright

I am truthful

I am candid

I am honest

I am sincere

I harbor no secrets

I have nothing to hide

I am an open book

Believe me

I am black and white

I tried to say farewell,

but I didn't speak his language.

I searched for ways to say 'don't leave',

but I didn't speak his language.

I browsed the world; its lands and seas

to web with lies the truths I hid.

Then hid my tongue behind my teeth,

and said I got no tongue

but showed my teeth;

he saw I lied, but didn't know

there was a tongue, he didn't see

a trail of lies I web and hid,

a trail of...

Wrapped in flesh, ghosts on her breath.

She dreamt the nights away,

breaking out into a cold sweat...

He's not a god, he's not a man.

He's a devil, with a lifetime of plans.

Past the square of denial,

his phantom heart put her

thoughts on trial.

Writing up his lonely stares again.

He took her in, to steal her hand.

Just like a boy, just like a ploy.

His goals in tact;

he's aimed to des...

JUST LIS...

Did I stutter?

I mean I must’ve

If that’s all you got

Out of the words

I was brave enough to muster

I think you heard me wrong

But I’ve got no time to explain myself

Time to move on…...

There’s chatter

More like bickering

The sound continues to carry

Throughout the house

The tone changes

The frustration in both of them rises

The back and forth starts

Anger builds

Emotion makes it’s debut

And so the shouting begins

Miscommunication takes it’s rightful place...

How dare you be bold enough to know the meaning of your silence!

“I don’t”

How dare you think I understand your unaired demands

“I can’t”

You assume I don’t care

“I do”

You were bold enough to not give a fuck

“I did”

I was bold to enough to let us go when you lost control

“I did”...

The world divides by separating our pain

Validating yours when reparations denied

Creates resentments against the others toil

When you’ve done nothing but suffered too

Four hundred million deaths is as evil as eleven

One life destroyed is one too many

Because all pain is pain

They will not destroy my empathy of yours

We are one in these eternal struggles...
