InkedDown

Were you a reality that I could be with when my days finally come to a close? Or were you the specter of yesterday making me live in my own memories?

I had my heart swelling quickly while you held my hand that day, I saw my mind resting at peace knowing you stood by my side. . Oh, what pace was that in which we lost that day to time unfolding? I wonder, would we be able to try living all those memories up again? . Now, you’re nothing but a memory resting in fragments deep in my heart. Everything we ever were before now was just a…

The ticking of the clock was all that filled the unfaltering silence that lay before me. The unmoving waves kept my soul hanging while the seasons kept changing around me.

The moonlit waves did wave back to me while the slow breeze grew warmer still. The twinkling skies remained unchanged while I lay ever so still on the black waters. . What should I do to get out of this rut now? Should I submit my whole shriveled soul or will I finally get a grip on my own reality? I wonder if I’ll ever find a way to leave now. . The still waters crept around,…

Wishes of a promise

Of sunsets past and of sunsets promised, there was a song yet to be delivered, love. Of the treasures of time yet to be unfolded that I could barely wait to see laid out here. . When I could barely see the world beyond I could rely on you to regale me with tales that painted a wonder within my heart, love. Where was the eternity you had promised me? . Of the pitter-patter through the…

What was it that this world had decreed that it couldn't let you live free again? What was it that fate had decided then that took you willfully from my grasp?

I could hear my own heart beating still, while I lay motionless on the green knoll and the silence had captured all of time while you grew cold in my old embrace. . What was it that this world had decreed that it couldn’t let you live free again? What was it that fate had decided then that took you willfully from my grasp? . The sun rises slowly beyond the horizon and yet the stillness…

"Would you let these be just a dream? Should I keep them all bottled within? I wish, just once, that you joined me in my slow walk into the warm sunset." Read more:

I found myself stuck here again

Why had I been left here then

to just fend for myself in the cold?

Could you not see me shiver now?

  Was this the place I’m to call home?

Was this the coldness I was to love?

Tell me what I’d done in the past to

have this dreary life haunt me again.

  When the darkness subsides, I know

that all the shadows will remain here.

Even in this darkness, I want to find

a…

"Looking back today, I can still feel the emptiness that you'd left then. I wish I could look into your eyes and be lost in their twinkle once." Read more:

There is very little that I can do now

with you staying so far away from me.

The sun seems to have dimmed now,

faintly painting the skies a soft gray.

  In the simplest of words, you know

how much I’d really miss you today

while the whole world holds me up

thousands of miles apart from you.

  Yesterday, when you stood right here

by my side, I felt stronger than ever.

Why’d you have to go this far…

"There was just something I could see in the flicker of her brown eyes then that made my heart skip a little beat with every smile that it had captured." Read more:

I was so lost in the depths of her eyes,

while the world kept spinning around

on its own accord, while I was lost still

so deep in the depths of her lively soul.

  There was just something I could see

in the flicker of her brown eyes then

that made my heart skip a little beat

with every smile that it had captured.

  She knew of all the things that I loved,

and in her soft words that I had heard,

"I'd give you all my endless love again without a second thought in my head. Would you just stand near me again and watch the stars shine bright tonight?" Read more:

Your smile, loving and unbridled today,

give away the love that shines brightly

over the candles that rest between us

while we’re lost in endless conversation.

  I know of all the things that I really miss

when I’m far, far away from you ‘morrow.

I’ve been robbed of all the feelings I felt

when I first glanced at your shy smile.

  The whole universe skipped a beat then

within my still-beating…

"Should anyone have to live like this? Should anyone have to feel the pain? Should anyone have to suffer in silence? Or will we learn to live together again?" Read more:

Do you feel the things that I feel?

Do you hear the shadows moving?

Do you fear the things that I fear?

Do you sense the life vanishing?

  I am not trying to win this war.

I am not trying today to survive.

I am not running away tonight,

because I know that it is right.

  Would you keep trying again today?

Would you keep pushing your faith

and help your home thrive again?

Would you hurt me if I…

"All the memories of all your tender embrace seems so distant and yet so near my own heart. In the magic that wove our hearts together then I'd found everlasting serenity and peace again." Read more:

Of all the things that have come to pass,

there’s very little that I miss in such a way

and with such ferocity that I do right now.

But, this truly was the magic of your kiss.

  What mighty hand had stitched together

the plans of such true, absolute brilliance?

What old mind had carved to perfection

the heart that made me feel at home again?

  All the memories of all your tender embrace

seems so…

"Who would remind me once again today of the peace that I'd once had yesterday? Who would ever sit with me idly on the roof staring at the faintly twinkling stars beyond?" Read more:

It really was a wonderful feeling then,

when I’d buried my heart so deep within

the dreams that my mind had dreamt,

that I could no longer tell them apart.

  How sweet was the feeling I’d felt then

when I was sure that I loved you true.

How innocent was my little, idle mind

that I still spoke to you in your absence.

  With whom would I share this feeling,

if ever again, without getting hurt again?

"What would it cost to know you now? What is the burden that you won't share? Where's the chapter that you refuse to let me pore through tonight once again?" Read more:

What would it cost to know you now?

What is the burden that you won’t share?

Where’s the chapter that you refuse to

let me pore through tonight once again?

  Show me the story that created you now,

so that I can feel your pain in my heart

and join you in your mellow rendition

of the ballad of a thousand tears tonight.

  Tell me your tale and your biggest regrets

before alcohol takes away my…

"The colours fail and anger me beyond all hope now despite the mellow drapes of fall fallen around us. Why does the laughter ring so loud in the sky above? Why does happiness spill from the edge of each cup?" Read more:

The colours fail and anger me beyond all hope now

despite the mellow drapes of fall fallen around us.

  Why does the laughter ring so loud in the sky above?

Why does happiness spill from the edge of each cup?

  Can I not have a single moment of silence for myself?

Do I still need to listen to those that don’t listen to me?

  The rain falls on my trembling body, colder than hell,

crawling down…

"There was never any love waiting for me (like a pearl at the bottom of the oceans), silently, peacefully while I journeyed back (from all the voyages beyond the horizon)." Read more:

There was never any love waiting for me

(like a pearl at the bottom of the oceans),

silently, peacefully while I journeyed back

(from all the voyages beyond the horizon).

  Would you give me this bit of love again

(till I rewrite my memories by the frame)?

Would you give me the chance to live now

(till the end of this beating symphony still)?

  Oh, my love, take us away one note at a time

while…

"What was it about your lovely eyes that got me dancing in silence again? What was it about your broken heart that made me want to mend it for you?" Read more:

What was it about your lovely eyes

that got me dancing in silence again?

What was it about your broken heart

that made me want to mend it for you?

  Let me see your dried up tears and know

that you had left the past where it belonged.

Let me feel your tender heart beating now

and give me the one, little dance for love.

  Would you raise the tent of broken dreams

so that we could complete our…
