Long ago he said to her
"Baby I will never leave"
He spoke his mind
But not his heart
And things were bound to change
He believed he spoke
Words of truth
That he would never leave her
But the world shifted
And the changes began
And promises could not be kept
Despite his best intentions
Through tears and curses
He broke away
Regretting every second
And though he left
Some would say ran
And retreated behind his lines
He never forgot
That one sweet girl
Who first stole his heart away
In the world that we live
Losers never catch a break
I know this all too well
Killing in the name of oil
Even in this dark time
From afar a light shines
Returning us from the twilight
Everything has come to this
Everyone can see it clear
For one innocent soul
Oblivious to the weight of the world
One bright star
Dragging us from the darkness
Known for three days
Desired for a lifetime
No more pipe dreams
No more chasing flying turtles
No more battles
No more toadstools
No more storming the wrong castles
I have finally found my princess
Someone who gets my jokes
Someone who thinks like me
Someone who does not shy
From my touch nor my smile
The gamer, the geek
The tarot cards finally smile
Fortune falls upon me
And I feel truly blessed
Feel it
Running red hot through you
See it
Coursing from the wounds you opened
Taste it
Enjoy that metallic tang
You're addicted to my blood
It sustains you
Keeps you running
Keeps you hungry for more
You feed
Feed off me
A symbiotic relationship
We need each other
But do we love each other?
Or is it just a matter of blood?
Who do you think you really are?
What makes you think you can act like that?
Where on earth did you get that hair cut?
When did you change so much?
Why are you dressing like that?
How can you keep doing this to yourself?
Any more questions for me?
-
Silence is spoken
And between the two of us
Nothing and everything
Is said all at once
Your eyes meet with mine
And in that instant
We both know
That the silence has won
You used to smile for me
You used to greet me
With the white flash
That sign that everything was okay
Things are different now
You don't smile in the same way
Its so hollow now
Just a slight upturn
Where did those pearls go
Why do they now vanish
When I come around
Are they afraid?
A single lie spoken
A thousand lives broken
Shattered and twisted apart
A traitorous hand
An insidious plan
The victims of a black heart
A twist of fate
A world full of hate
What have we become
The time is near
We give in to fear
And this cannot be undone
