Darkness
September 7th 2008 02:06
Take me to the place where darkness reigns
its the only place where I can truly see
my life is littered with shadows
they seem to follow me
swallow me
swallow me
in the darkness of your mind
the darkness of your past
engulf me in a thousand lost nights
of your shattered dreams
tell me all your dirty secrets
show me all your stains
wrap me in the soiled clothing of your past
hidden like the only dress you ever owned
the one worn inside-out and back-to-front
strip me of this long black coat
woven from years of silence
and the sound of drinking alone
this coat that strangles me
cloaks my voice
and chokes my tongue
its nothing but a dark bottle
holding everything inside
set me free in the night time
of your darkest desires
our wardrobes both could tell some lurid stories
and our naked bodies, even more
but lets open the doors of our minds
read whats underneath this skin of ours
I want you to see the world through your bruised eyes
and tell you why my bleeding face
once blinded me
lets flip the switch on the brighter parts of life
sunshine, flowers and childhood innocence long gone
they cant teach me a thing
and I dont want to learn
I want to study the night sky
unleash the thunder rumbling in your troubled heart
Ill drench you in the storm clouds of my mind
lets wash ourselves down each others darkened streams
tonight would be the perfect night
for the sky is as black as our souls
the moon and stars have hand-clouds over their eyes
and over their ears
it will stop us dreaming of
what never was
what can never be

Didn't mean to make you snort tea.
Have you thought about seeking counselling or going into a rehab centre?
I have to go man. I'm totally wasted tonight. What's new?
Will hopefully catch up with you on your blog tomorrow.
