Purple black and blue Concealed behind steel blue eyes Protean nature

Black days to blue nights Alone in a crowded room Find one like myself You betray yourself Your presence felt, I found you

Take a stand alone Hoping the message is clear Nobody but me Its not you its me The familiar taste of hope

As high as one can Equal to the lowest low To flow as water

Left to lose nothing One step closer, fighting Tao A view to a kill

I’m the first you told The others knew before me Love and misery Love crushed by desire Afraid ready to take flight

I need only you The long loneliness lingers My love hangover

What I want save me One less reason to be here Broken reflection Undertow consumes The children are the losers

You can shackle you It’s so hungry in the dark It’s some cruel penance Unclear agony Who shows up, who walks away

Bleed to disappear The past that holds the triggers Erase the patterns Fear of losing love A life forgotten to live

My sanctuary A dark painful resting place Alarm strikes collide Socialization An alignment or betrayed

Going under please Hollow words like darkness spreads Winter fuels your heart

You bring life to me Paper won’t keep or make leave Shelter from the fear Heat beneath winter Troubled dreams leave me alone

Addicted to self Your heart merely an organ Whispers in the dark Nothing left to lose Love & compassion or death

Try not to love Must stay in touch with myself Easier to be dead Left to say nothing Left to wonder if I care
