Dark Memories

by Mark   Jul 12, 2007


The voices in his head
screaming towards an end
the end of a dark life
a good man, he has to pretend

...

the rumours about a man
a man with no soul or heart
they all lead to one conclusion
he has played his last card

sorrow and pain are the only two words he knows
a new beginning he do nor dare
and one thing is for sure
if suicide, no one will care

but were the past so dark? he wonders
was he really that bad a man
he can't understand it
though he smashed his wife with a can

he had also children
but did they feel a thing?
we know the dog was hungry
our everybody's "King"

the red color he admires
he sees it as a god
a god of giant beauty
the family was only a start

one of his best friend
the one he cared the most
stabbed him with a dagger
and now sees him as a ghost

no tears he left for any
it wasn't in his mind
that they might have suffered
back then his moral was blind

...

He really didn't do it
the act was only an illusion
of what the future might bring
and that brings us in to a conclusion

that every human being
all guilty in the same
for deadly inner thoughts
we can all each other blame

    Stanza #3, line 2 "do nor" should be "does not"
    stanza #4, line 1 "were" should be "was"
