Shadows following, as I walk down the street.
Glaring eyes, from the people I meet.
A chill runs from my neck to my feet.
I can't run from this feeling, a maze of deceit.
The dark man appears in my dreams each night.
Chasing me down to a cliff, we fight.
A thousand bones resting on the shore below.
Crashing waves, A crying wind blows.
Awaken to a pool of sweat.
I tried to live my life with no regrets.
But the dreams we shared and put in a box.
Lies broken, scattered, our lives of dust.
The horse I road, so tall with pride.
Infidelity, conceit, beneath the lies.
Broken promises, selfishness, collide.
Left little room for our love inside.
An accidental fall as you tried to leave.
Casts a giant shadow, as nobody believes.
Violent words spoken, I can't retrieve.
Memories of us and how it used to be.
Now its plane to see, I'll lose this fight
As no-one succeeds, against the dark man.
For the dark man, is who we were meant to be.

The Bullets of Love
She did it.
I watched her
In monochrome slow motion.
She did it.
Her lips moved like a gun cocked,

A chill runs from my neck

In a crowded hall
Guilt appeared before me
I don't know her but she recognizes me
Silently she stands and stares at me
by JT Till
Twilight breaks upon night's shadow as I wake from dreams that beguile a restful slumber.
