I was holding my breath,
Praying that moment would never end...

Doors swing open
Light invades eyes...

Swirling reds begin bathing the floor
Life silently creeps between my toes...

Oh this hatred that eats at me
When will sweet indifference come...

A father never wants to see
His child go astray...

Kiss the dawn good morning,
Heavens at your door...

Oh my sunless flower
How you wilt without light...

Thought about it after the first lie
Knew it after the second...

Melting bubbles
In the sky...

There was a time when my mind was young
When I would have seen you standing there...

I have come to set my angst upon the page
Strokes of madness written in blood...

Slipped through the cracks
Deep crevices of loneliness...
