River

At the edge of a dark torrent
feeling lonely and broken, will I ever be mended
This body bleeds blue, this bloods not red
This is robotic, this is alien
Feel this release, let go of regard
These lips are blue, this bloods not red
Too cold to kiss, too distant to befriend
The river runs through me, and waves push me in
Rhythms with strange dissonance
Push cold waves through the dark crevasse
Woven in a history of loss -
Who's daughter are you becoming?
Frozen depths of a cold crevasse -
Who's land would you die defending?
Rhythms rush through me
A surge of blue blood
Swell of deep water
Tides pull me under
Lights dance on dark ripples
My body, an offering
Crest of emotion
A shiver, an awkward nudge
This mirror shows you only the past -
What do you hope to find there?
A cold river pulls you down at last -
Who's daughter will you become there?
We are free, we are creatures of magic
Harbored in unchartered night
A bell rings and its sound reminds me
of when I chose to turn and hide
But can you choose the path that you walk?
Could you walk away from this fight?
With order and destruction locking jaws
We are wielding words of binding - trying -
Sacrificing what we've loved and lost
Learning how to live again
Facing the end of everything we know
Set your mark and take your aim.

Dry Land

In the darkness, descending
In the dryland death is coming
To the wall
To touch my face
Take my hands
Lead me away
Trough the darkness, unending
Shadows thick and stars unmoving
Lovers pass here, in silence
Should have left well enough alone
I know the the reasons why that I rot from within
But what am I to do if they feel permanent
I can't change who I am, I can't change the ones who have died
Whispers of ghosts are trapped deep inside
I feel it creeping in, it descends on me
A pillar of hope slowly crumbling
How do I kill the rot from the marrow?
How do you pull yourself up when you feel dead inside?
What do you do when the walls are caving in and you want to take a breath
but feel death creeping in?
What do you do when its all falling in and you push through the pain
but feel death creeping in?
I feel it creeping in, it descends on me
A pillar of hope slowly crumbling
How do I kill the rot from the marrow?
How do you pull yourself up when you feel dead inside?
There is no way to erase or forget this
Submission is something I cannot recognize
Will you remember the look on my face,
When you faced me and said that you wanted to die?
There is no way to escape this but I try to hold you close enough to keep you alive
There is no way to escape this but I try to remember that everything, always, will die
There is nothing here
An empty void in which we face our fears
And in the shadows, as time passes you by
As death approaches in the back of your mind
I try to fight it, while you try to find it,
To take it's cold hands in your own and end your life
The sun rises
It always has
The darkest hour
Will always pass
Will you be here to wait it out with me?
Friend, I'm asking you to try
I know how hard you've tried.
