Stronger

Day unto day
In every which way
You fooled me, so well
In glorious hell

Night upon night
You made it feel right
I kept my soul at stake
Such a painful mistake

I let you touch me
I let myself free
Now I can’t even hide
How that broke me inside

You ripped out my heart
And tore me apart
I thought the pain would last longer
But baby, now I’m only stronger.

It was me who’d endure
Your sinister allure
Only to fall in the trap
Of all your sordid crap

Your promises, all void
Had me entirely destroyed
How could I be so blind?
To your shallow mind

But now I’ve been mended
Fixed to be splendid
Yet some pieces, misplaced
Only to be replaced

By this strong little part
Deep down in my heart
So if the pain does last longer
I’ll just keep getting stronger

Dark Hues, Blues

A new day invariably brings another night
Doesn’t it?
I want to perceive only the light
But the dark never ends completely

Why don’t these blues fade away?
The shades of a dark hue trimmed with them
Like the silken black hair on an age old image
Furtively edging its way down a back

Neither fade, not the lubricate nor the dark
Each stay prominent as essential parts
To their own, the painting and life
Both parts of which can’t be ignored

The strokes of the creator, gentle or harsh
Never depict what lies beyond
It’s upon the eyes of the observer to derive
The true implication hidden deeper within

Memories..

Distant memories fade into the darkness of today
Where warped smirks work, and wicked minds play
I wish to turn back time to those moments long lost
Of uproarious laughter and smiles not forced

Where we knew life to be so vividly bright
Where in every little occurrence we would delight
Where joy knew no bounds and we flew so free
From the gloom that now soars over you and me

Where blissful concentricity would shape our days
Eliminating melancholy, to reunite in cheery ways
It’s so strange how time has drawn us all apart
I wish we could begin over again from the start

I wish to turn back time to those little happenings,
Those days when we grinned at the silliest things,
To the time where all those moments took place,
Rewind life again to revive it at a slower pace
