Faded, into black and white

A silken rose, once sweet delight

Its colors, now ravished, bled apart

Time stands still, as does my heart

We were together, now I am one

This emptiness, can’t be undone

By memories, so long denied

They still lay heavy, deep inside

So let the clock ticktock away

Yes, I will wait for that fine day

When the time, at last, for me is right

Never again will I fade, into black and white

carnival-1991815_960_720
Adorned, I hide my face
Inside this mask of blue
Silver painted, decorated
To keep myself from view

Where no one knows about me
Or wonders who I am
I’ll blend in, pretend again
When I’m really just a sham

You once stood by my side
Unmasked and unafraid
I didn’t learn, and now I yearn
Twas you that I betrayed

In the mirror, my reflection
Glances back at me, I sigh
For my eyes can see, in reality
I’m the one who said goodbye

ruins-563629_960_720
Laid to rest at ruins feet, battered from the fight

A castle once known, now in defeat, oh how it lost its might

The many who have fought there, now dead among the grounds

Gather once again, where they, can shout their victory sounds

A cry among them, hollow, throughout the empty stone

No kingdom left to follow, they are left without a throne

Yet, still they wander, quite knightly, along these sacred lands

Where kings now lie, quit rightly, by their own very hands

theatre-83862_960_720
Echoing whispers that shatter the night

Watching and waiting, she stands in the light

His voice in the dark, it grows ever stronger

She wonders if she can take this much longer

She strains to listen, hears the sound of her name

From the voice of another, laying the blame

Disbelief comes, as he is walking away

Disavowing that he ever wandered astray

Denying he knows her, his heart is for another

Yet, she is the one he has called his true lover

His lies, so bold, and so easily spoken

His secret, once she, now tattered and broken
