And so fades the night, the dimming skies
Renewing my sight, hearing my sighs
For there is nowhere else, I would rather be
Then alone in the dark, tis my own apogee

If I screamed, would you come running
Or stand nearby, afraid to face my darkness?
Would you comfort me ,and bring me toward the light
Or would you cower in a corner, knowing my demons would win?
*
Is there a promise to keep, to guard my soul?
Is there a power within me, to take control?
Is there a will in your heart, to make me whole?
Nothing need be said, nor meant to console…
*
For I shall remain silent, locked inside myself,
Continuing to listen to nothing, afraid to hear myself speak
And the sounds within me, will deafen you, but quiet me,
mute me, until the only sound, the staccato of my breath.

Letting the golden sunlight
Pour down upon my face
Resting quietly upon this tree
I find my peaceful place
Where Stillness will Enlighten me
And Serenity shall set me Free
To let me be who I should Be
And find my Heart’s Tranquility
Looking up, I close my eyes
Upon this grassy knoll
Soaking in the gentle warmth
I find my peaceful soul

Look closely at my reflection
In the amber colored liquid
Do you see me?
You poured me, into your glass
Smelled the whiskey of my breath
Tasted the burning of my heart
Swallowed the essence, of my soul
Left me to linger, age,
Days, nights,
Finally forgotten,
Ice melted, glass cracked,
And me, ever slowly
Seeped, into the emptiness
Drowned in your sorrows
