Trapped

Shed are thy ashes
Upon this life
A new burden piercing
Sharp as a knife

Hate is like fire
That burns through the soul
Scorching my pride
With bitterness so cold

Sin is the candy
That feeds on us all
Morbid pleasure
Becomes marshal law

Tears turn to ice
Blood burns like acid
Stench is the fragrance
When life becomes rancid

I can lick all my wounds
But I can never be free
Trapped within the past is the future
Waiting for what? What will be?

Passion's Polarity

Image
The love I once felt is changed forever Destroyed by words of anger and pain Like fire and ice, we were passion's polarity Calmed into a lull by the night's gentle rain Bittersweet are my memories of you Leaving scattered footprints in my mind Our time together was beyond compare Yet somehow... it was angry words we left behind How did we get here, you and I? At what point did we cross the line? Coming together was inevitable for us Why couldn't we stop the crash in time? Despite everything, you'll not be forgotten I miss your smile, your voice, your sensual touch I miss gazing longingly into your gentle eyes Perhaps it matters not but I'll miss you so much
