A Kiss
(2004)

Bleeding ink at 4am on this page, staring at this screen clock ticking passed 5am
Guilt never-ending

You promised you wouldn't make me cry tonight
Would it have helped if I said you were right
How can you say don't worry, How do I say I'm sorry
Seeing in your eyes, the sorrow that is now in mine
Hidden were the tears, A warm safe place for me to hide

I kissed her goodbye, I kissed her goodnight

Misery is at least some company, preferably to none at all
Alone again I step forwards only to find emptiness.. a free fall
Years of splendor and decay, trapped behind my very own walls

My past bleeds through my own skin, dead within
Fragile thin lines between psychosis and all that remains
Medicating into surreal states of mind that never change

Wilting leaves dance from trees, shattered bones forced to my knees
Romance thrown away for spite, Vengeance filling words to fight
How can you hate me so, How did we become so cold
Situations fading and falling through life's grand stage
Glancing at long-ago faults I find to be up in silver lights
Burned by life's inconsistencies, scars forever taking embrace

Stolen away from me within my very own dreams
My sadness, my sorrow is all there is left to seize
Surrendering my comfort for moments of insanity
Frostbite striking anguish during blistering waves of heat
Your presence is everything to me, a puzzle left incomplete

I've been dead for so very long, unsure if I am really gone
Friends Forever a Poem now undone, a devoured lullaby

I kissed her goodnight, I kissed her goodbye
