On the edge a lonely man stands,
Emotions lost, heart in his hands,
Confused look upon his face,
Ran like hell but lost the race.
Trying to regain what is lost,
was the pleasure worth the cost ?
Love is strange it twists the mind,
Eyes wide open, still I was blind
End of my rope nothing left to give,
In pain no more will I live.
Looking down on a bottomless fall,
One choice left, I gave my all.
Giving in I take the leap,
Into the abyss of endless sleep.
Nonexistant - such as the wind
A worthless trinket rolling, around the bend.
Deserted wonderer of all lost hopes,
One hanging desperately, at the end of a rope.
A speck of human emotion, without an eye to see.
Only returning thought's, of heart-felt memories.
Never stepping up, just a follower downhill
So close to letting go, that I must - I think I will.
And so I prepare, to leave the world behind,
Listening carefully, to that forever ringing chime.
The road I choose to travel,
was long and cold.
Many friends were bought,
paid for with my soul.
I made many different choices,
most I admit were wrong.
The end result, a bitter man,
Full of shame and alone.
Alone in this place
Full of sorrow and pain.
The rage is overwhelming,
As my tears fall like rain.
I'm surronded by faces,
yet I'm set apart.
Looking for the end,
not knowing where to start.
Broken and lonely
Standing in the rain.
No one stands beside me,
My only companions, hatred and pain.
I followed all my instincts,
Still the path was wrong.
I fear I've left myself,
I've been running so long.
I hid all the sorrow,
and ran from the rage,
here I am still alone,
locked up in a cage.
One thing I realize,
more than anything else.
Everything except the rage,
I inflicted on myself.
Go away on a journey, deep inside,
Don't be afraid of what your mind has to hide.
There are places within, Man fears to go,
Are they to be feared ? Without explaining we'll never know.
It's best not to worry about what you'll find,
you may finally understand why it should be left behind.
Weigh the consequences, beginning and end,
To ensure the same mistakes aren't made again.
Examine your peers, are they all that you thought ?
Or, is the lesson
you were trying to teach, the lesson you got taught ?
Wandering around hurt and lost,
Playing the game, no matter the cost.
Looking for love, solid and true,
Thinking I'd found it all in you.
Just like the rest I knew you'd leave,
Now I'm alone heart on my sleeve.
Knowing better than to let you in,
what can I say ? I was wrong again.
Never again, no more sorrow,
Live for today, hope for tomorrow.
So damn confused I know not what to do,
No one around, just memories of you.
For the loss of love, I take the blame,
Now I'm alone, full of empty shame.
The mistakes I've made, I can't make right,
There is no day, just one endless night.
For one more try at the game,
Facing Satan, on the line I place my name.
Because eternity in Hell cannot compare
To the feelings when I turn and you're not there.
Love again I must surely find,
To untie my heart and cure my sick mind.
Now I must start over, try to rebuild,
Learn to determine the false from real
Love will find me and it will be true.
I'll give her my devotion......who are you ?
Imagine two people,
Loving without end.
Bound by Darkness,
Blind to Sin,
Giving their all,
No matter the cost.
Clinging to each other,
When all else is lost.
I see you there,
In the pale moon light.
The face of an angel,
Such a heavely sight.
Your skins soft glow,
Smooth to the touch.
O ! I long to hold you
I could show you so much.
A sparkle in your eye,
There's music in your voice,
I melt in your presence
I have no other choice.
I know I could love you,
Thru all time and space,
If only I could hold you,
And look upon your face.
I don't believe in miracles.
But I know this much is true,
My search finally ended,
The day I found you.
