More darkness...

Look at me
At who you are
Pleasant to the eyes
But you bear the scars
The scars of love forever lost
You played the game
You paid the cost

Lost and lonely
You're afraid
Looking back at choices
That you've made
They're all behind
They cannot change
Just places in time

You live a life
Full of regrets
You build your fortune
On all your debts
Surrounded by your enemies
No one now
Can set you free

You fear the rage
Of fear itself
You place your feelings
On a shelf
Place them out of reach
Taking notes on the lessons
Life will teach

Inside your head
You hear my words
You are hanging
On the verge
Of a hole swallowing you
No one appears
No one to help you

You let go
And fall so deep
Then you awake
From your sleep
Is everything as it seems
Or is life
But a dream

Thomas ( Jac Pierre )

Maybe it's the themes of your writing that grab me so tightly.  Everything I picture while reading your writing is like some sort of hazy dream state...it's truly quite intriguing to me.
