Quicksand

Now fear my mind and take a ride
What soft and subtle suicide?
Listening to every vioce
Is not a reason, but a choice
And if my anger would erupt
I might give in but won't give up

Alone inside the dead of night
The stage is set for one more fight
These memories that bring forth pain
Are reason for the crimson stain
And knowing what I have to lose
I'll fly away from every bruise

Soon enough the pain will cease
Bringing waves of tender peace
Tears of blood stream down my face
And in my heart and every place
Where will they land? Where will they fall?
And will it matter much at all?

Leaving now your world of greed
I'll only take what you don't need
So don't be frightened, don't be scared
The broken light will be repaired
But I'll still whisper on my knees:
What good is light if no one sees?

***?***

Awakened by my midnight scream
I realized it was just a dream
And as I tried to catch my breath
I wondered why I'd thought of death
What was the reason and the source?
What led my dream to take this coarse?

It was you
Close my eyes and close my heart
It was you

This particular verse whispers loud to me.

Your use of meter is quite skilled, Darker.
This just flowed down the page.

The same verse that Serenity picked, touched me also.  Happy to have you here at Passions!

'What good is light if no one sees?'

What a ponderous thought~
