Surrendering the final fragments of my wasted existance.
My agony governs me and is all I've ever known.
Chased to ground and beaten down by those that surround.

Still, my eyes won't moisten and only one way for release;
The knife mimics back sorrowful eyes and paltry smiles.
It's kiss, though is a harmonic serenade resonating in my flesh.
A sultry temptress that seduces promising escape.

Eyes close as life is emptied from a cup once full,
as a silver lover dances hypnotically over flesh.
Controlled by fascination as realization numbs away the pain.
Hope didn't save, love beats it's slaves, and joy won't endure.

For all the lies that light told prolonging pain
this knife dispelled with deep gashes realeasing me eternally.

Light's Lies

Topic: Suicide

In the fading flames of my tormented spirit's shame.
Surrendering the final fragments of my wasted existance.
My agony governs me and is all I've ever known.
Chased to ground and beaten down by those that surround.

Still, my eyes won't moisten and only one way for release;
The knife mimics back sorrowful eyes and paltry smiles.
It's kiss, though is a harmonic serenade resonating in my flesh.
A sultry temptress that seduces promising escape.

Eyes close as life is emptied from a cup once full,
as a silver lover dances hypnotically over flesh.
Controlled by fascination as realization numbs away the pain.
Hope didn't save, love beats it's slaves, and joy won't endure.

For all the lies that light told prolonging pain
this knife dispelled with deep gashes realeasing me eternally.

I hope that what ever it is that is making you feel like this will go away. No one needs to live in the dark and love never fails if you know where to look for it.

Dark, powerful, agonizingly sad. Tough stuff coming from a Teddy.
