Orchestra of shadows
echoing
I see you lying
on the mausoleum floor
You didn't see me
come in
Praying to your gods
Chards of yesterday
Piercing your sanity
Perhaps
you shouldn't have lied
You don't see me
you never did
within the candle flame
why did you
come here?
What do you have to gain?
Angels deaf to your requiem
you can't love in vain
nor make it go away
even I became deaf
to your promises
you can't live in vain
why did you come here?
to find forgiveness
amongst fallen angels?
you didn't see me leave
you never did



If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

A purgatory for men, I know the place well:

You don't see me
you never did

Your writing just keeps on getting better, and BETTER! My goodness, girl! Whatever mood you are in when you write, you convey it very effectively.
