At the edge of the world Here comes the rain And maybe I can suppress This eternal pain It has returned from dreams And this time for keeps I sink down into depths In which fantasy sleeps And the wind is so cold I can barely stand Upon this barren plain, I see an outstretched hand But I push it away And stand on my own I shiver every time I hear myself moan But, that’s the way it was And that’s the way it returns The flames of memories Sometimes soothes as it burns Remembering you as you were Not even knowing myself; That you were just not her Stone white, so delicate Lost to this and everything If only I could see Through this golden ring My heart freezes when I cry These tears I shed Though I don’t know why, I am dead My will is breaking again Maybe this time forever Maybe this time I won’t Have to endure this never I can’t quite express myself These feelings all explode The words become lost As I bear the heavy load To feel again that feeling Of unexplainable numbness To this nameless possession Of unavoidable madness Maybe this is my fate To drown in this endless stream Whenever I am alone it comes Without warning I see Whatever has transpired magnified Transforming me, becoming me And I wonder to myself Should I hold back or cry? Am I the only one here, Born to live, then to die…..? |

This was beautiful, think I've spent many nights wondering the same and feeling these same emotions ~*Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear*~ |

Maybe this is my fate To drown in this endless stream Whenever I am alone it comes Without warning I see Whatever has transpired magnified Transforming me, becoming me And I wonder to myself Should I hold back or cry? Am I the only one here, Born to live, then to die…..? this is me Jer. this is sooooo me. ive always taken so much sh** off of people and my thoery on the pain was that it was my destiny. i just knew it was what i deserved. i still cant tell myself that its not what i deserve, but i have a great friend who reminds me that i deserve so much more. so, NO, i will not drown in that endless stream, but i will float in it for now. nice piece, great piece, i bow before you!! aimee Trust I seek and I find in you. Everyday for us something new. Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters. --Metallica |
