No Where, Nothing

 

In the dead of the night

When my chest aches

And my heart screams

And it's your name that reverberates

Upon the chambers of my soul

I'm lost in the endless prison of nowhere

Nothing.

I can't go on panting, breathing

The pain inside me is surging, seething

I'm left with nothing right now

You were my everything

Where do I turn

When everything seems lost

The edges blur to grey

Like the burning in my eyes

I've no sense of time

Except it's taking way too long

To end. 

Somewhere amidst the bitter ash

The fragrance of what used to be

The soot crumbles through my fingers

The same fingers your love ran through.

Empty hands blackened, charred and shaking

And I'm mistaking the images I think I see

Where all is right again

And you returned to me

The smile upon your face means what it used to be

The sun shines a bit brighter

The colors taste returns

And I hold you so tightly

My treasure, my forever

I blink once, then twice

And sit upright

And curse myself for waking

For that moment's gone

And so are you

As the cold settles in once more

The waking breeze carrying your name

and those familiar scents of memory

Midnight Scream:

I want to scream til my insides bleed

So the poison inside can just kill me

I'm going to set this broken bridge on fire

And walk through as it burns

And listen to the screams of liars

The lessons they will never learn

I'm haunted by my own mistakes

But won't waste time on the untrue

You bent my good will til it breaks

So this time the joke's on you
