And Life Goes On...

If you must, hurt me now so I stay away, Bring out your worst, don't spare me the pain, Let your dark side find me alone, Let your vice shadow over all I adore, For only then it is that I can begin to fix, All that you feel is wrong... If you must, free the beast, so I can slay it's core, Bring out your worst, don't hold back now, Show me all you're capable of, So I can prove to you, and to the world, You're all but the beast you think you are, You're home to me, this is where you belong.

Of strangers filling voids Created by the ones most trusted, Some brought forth as lives entwined - Into the darkness, into the light, A bond forged, inhibitions set aside, Unbound by blood, guided by love - Madness personified! Of this stronger love filling voids Till there weren't any left, They set off, towards the woods, Into the deepest end, where the sun never set, The light never dimmed, Cautiously they'd chosen - Knowing the light here came from within.

Here I was, immersed deep in self-love, Somewhat hollow, but self-sufficient, Driven to be all I’d ever need from another, Alone, content, not a day that I felt lonesome! Then you came along, a soft whisper in the wind, With a devious smile, hiding a storm within, Shining through, like the sun on a dreary day, Blinding me with your brightest rays... Blinding, in ways unexpected, With that gorgeous poker face, unsuspected Shattering my once sturdy walls, Vulnerable now, I bared all there was. Switching gears to the incipience of the end Not too naive to comprehend - This, us, none of it was enough Your best for me was half a heart But a coward at play, You wouldn’t say it to my face So I summoned my superficial strength And let you go, left you to repent.

It's all in your hands,  right from the start From the moment you were born, To your very last  Stop and look up, once in a while Admire the little things that light up your life  It's these moments in between,  That matter in the end Forget what's lost, forget what never was Forget the missing piece, you've been searching for From the moment you were born To your very last From your very first cry,  To when you close your eyes one final time, The littlest things, that happen between The joy you give, the hell you receive Is the life you'll live, the life that means everything 

There were colours everywhere For a while, they shone bright Then there was only one left,  One that was never on my mind  No, this isn't what I thought I'd have The darkest blue, that fades to black Feels worse than it sounds But I'll polish it till the sparkle is back A half-life on borrowed time Blinded by hope, there's love in sight All the strength, your sweet voice lends  To keep this going, till the tunnel ends  Till I see the light, have you by my side Everything wrong, that we'll make right, Give this a chance, live this different life One I didn't wish for, blue instead of bright

You grasp at life, every chance you get,   The life you once had, Memories flashing in your head, Don't know what's left,  As you're trying to hold on, Holding on to the time that once was, Summoning all your strength,  Convincing yourself, It is not over yet. 

There, under the great dark sky Where fear lurks, and hearts die She walks through, With her head held high The truth, her face flawlessly hides. That blackened soul, and  distant mind, A river of insanity, those helpless sighs, But a mountain of hopes, Gathered strength,  All that makes her what she is... Soul, shredded to bits and pieces, Heart, Bound by lies. Hallow on the inside She feels numb And she's on the verge of giving up  But piece by piece she picks herself up, Heals her broken heart  Dives again in love, Only to have it  shattered again And again and again,  till there's nothing left. And then she lives on with her dead heart.
