All out assault

when the sun goes down and the night shows a tranguillety

no darkness can ever match, your soul will touch on all the

the bad apples you ever met

the ones that launched an all out assoult on whom you were

and what you did represent, they didn't anticipate you saw

them coming from miles away

turning their point of entry into your soul around faster than

the blink of an eye, leaving them bewildered and mentally

burned down to the ground

now watching from afar wondering what happened and made

them lose to one of whom they thought could never win but destroyed

in seconds their excistence of whom they were and now are

Cuts

everything changes when life takes a break

it feels like a thousand cuts when someone

steps out of range

yet life can change your thousand cuts

and when changed you will never feel

them again

Choices

when the sun goes down

darkness is not your best friend

when a lonely wolf howls a not idle warning

your danger is ahead

as the moon kills your last thread of courage

when it knows the morning is still far away 

and your choices have bled themselves to death

in your own made up bed

Void

when feelings grow old

and love dies in a void of its own

it is not despair but relief that shows

'cause love can never survive on its own

once gone,...just let it go

Harm or Danger

the rivers of my soul 

flow gently

without any harm or danger

to myself or those around me

Time in short supply

you're on the wrong train

you jumped, you bolted, you ran 

you far away

on a non stop train

your runnin' will never end

never a new place to descend

you'll keep on runnin' 

it will never end

all those years down the line

you chose to run down that line

trying to keep track of time

it seems you were only mine

for a while

something tells me

you'll never be satisfied

and something 

you may have missed

your time is in short supply

For the crowd

somewhere down the line

I knew I was right, you were done

you were out, someone else came about

you were leaving, you were in so many ways

always for the crowd

so now you're done, you wanna play around

have fun, I'm movin' on, movin' out, you were

in so many ways always for the crowd

I knew all along, you wouldn't stay

it was just a game you played, and I know the game

you played yourself well, you played yourself too well
