Lasting cries of self-pity
Only mirror loathsome sighs
Never seeing what was really there that
Lay waiting on a bed of lies

Interesting how much pleasure comes from pain

Now I can feel how empty I really am

Every nerve in my body burns
Sensory deprivation is the ultimate foreplay
Scorching my tender flesh
With licks of passionate anticipation
And somehow, in someway
I am whole again

Never have I felt so free
Doubt gives way to confidence
Desperation releases its hold on me

Everyone has a rebirth sometime

Since that day my soul flies
Passing a world of wasted lives
And loveless hearts
Begging for another chance
Intrigued by the idea of forgiveness
And reaching out for a hand
(god?)
That doesn't exist

with the darkest death of night
so that you can not peer inside

By the Wayside

When days have turned to darkness
And nothing dries my tears
Will I slip into madness?
Will no one calm my fears?
