The Hammer

Leader of Mine

Return of the Writer

Aesthetic Beauty of You

Satisfying

Better With You

That I care

I am in a dark mood

How could you give meaning to my love

Then walk out on us

You were the atom that made me exist

Now I have am oblivion

Void of the worship that was once mine

Down on my knees at the altar of loves shrine

Should have been more cautious with my spirit

Guarded it like it was pure radiance

Who knew that blue human eyes could lie

Now I stand in regret.

You gave life to that which was dead in me

So spectacular was my resurrection that I cling to you

Amazed by your scheme

Your plan to steal away my heart

And I conspired with you to ensure your thought was conceived

The height of my happiness only matched by the chestnut in your eyes

I was not of this world anymore, when I held your heart

Then the light was shown from a far off

Your star drew near to another earth; leaving me a new Venus

My fall was imminent, my fall was real

My fall was far into the abyss of nothingness.

I unraveled at the seams and turned back into useless worn thread

No longer am I the warm coat you hoarded before

There is nothing I can do

My feet cannot travel an inch in your direction

My hands are tied with super glue

But you do know I love you

I just have to stand and wait

Pray and hold my faith

Hold your pain in my tears

Know that I am hurting for you

What good are my strong hands

They slip through you like sand

Yet I am still required to stand

I’d do anything for you

39646.png

And I see that your heart really hurts

As I watch the tear roll down your face

Leaving a small trail of salt as it slowly makes it way down over your cheek

A painful reminder of the pain inflicted by my absence

A world of trouble is held in just that one tear

How easy it would be if like that one tear I could just wipe it away

Yet another one comes to take its place

39648.png

I am no longer your friend

Since I am no longer your muse

And you found so one new to replace what I do

You replaced me and now I’m confused

I thought you looked out
