Beyond hate lies peace and light,
the shadow of the moon casts a shadow so bright,
why can the world understand my pain?
why am i left here dying in the rain?
Everything around me is moving too fast,
with out a remeberence of peace and joy, now be gone,till my destiny comes to pass.
I and I alone, will fight to see her through,
without her happiness, without a compassionate sense of indignity,
for which she bestowed upon my withering life a rose by which its only death shall be caused by lies and deceit and all hardships of a kind.
This immense pressure which i now hold in my pocession, it too much, for i need to take care of her,aswell, as to make a life and a living for myself, but how can i when the weight of the world burrows deeper into my shoulders? a burden which i must for take.
I need space, I need peace, the world needs to understand,
my body and mind can only work for so long, as my heart looses strength and my soul begins to weep lonely tears of discontent and sin,
for I am nothing but, a grain from sand, a breath of fire, and a memory of her love,
I am, I was, a soul without love, a poor creature with not a beat in his open exposed heart.
Beyond hate, lies peace and light,
the shadow of the moon, casts a shadow so bright,
when will the world understand this pain?
Once I am free from these shackles of immortal slavery,
I will begin a new life, a new love, a new soul,
a new me.

I enjoyed this piece, Anon. Another powerful one.
