Array ( [sid] => 84659 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Ironic Justice [time] => 2005-02-16 18:58:56 [hometext] => Another repost my friends, im sorry to anyone that has read this before and may feel annoyed i am reposting, but it is without a doubt, my most favorite piece i have ever written please enjoy [bodytext] =>

Ive felt the gentle steps of suicide
Born upon hatred, built on a lie
Caressing every needle prick, i glide
As falling tears of madness, evaporate within

You see within this mirror, such emptiness
A reflection captured, lost in time
Locked inside a prison with no walls
Remembering each silent song, that was never sung

To walk along a path where no man has ever set foot
Each step but a void of hollow sounds and screams
Slowly walking down this road of mortal coil
I envelop in my destiny, living to never see death

I yearn for the object that mere men cower from
How sweet fate has decided an ironic justice
To take my life would be like poetry in motion
But lady fate would condemn me to live forever

Love is such a cruel and heartless beast
Taking no prisoners in its endless grasp of damnation
To watch everything you love so dear leave this world
Knowing that you can never join them in their bliss

As gently as the steps of suicide I tread the earth forever
Watching as my every passion dies out with my soul
I am left with nothing but a hollow shell of hatred
And a song... that was never sung [comments] => 5 [counter] => 212 [topic] => 13 [informant] => forever_lonely [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

I don't recall seeing this when it was originally posted - so I, for one, am glad that you reposted it. : )

The emotional behind this is obvious... it bleeds through. The entire piece is moving but that last line *sigh* splits me wide open.

Powerful, Luke... I'm glad I didn't miss this.
