upon entering the exit door (2005)

a tussle with original sin

without, within

caste the first stone

the original sin

 

where have i been

looking in, looking out

without a doubt

 

seeing pure

feeling not

hell i will embrace

 

for you i smile

warmed by yours

endure i must

 

revealed at last

awkward i am

within i look

 

at peace

maybe not

melancholy at best

 

the abyss of my soul

endless torments await

to take their toll

 

life on end

seeking the unknown

paths not taken

 

wandering aimlessly

ramblings of my mind

ponder faith

 

so selfish am i

considerate not

damned i am

 

looking within

not without

only me i think

 

consumed i am

by you

doomed by passion

 

time waits not

forward it flees

wait i cry

 

running for a life

not mine i know

a moment i need

 

a door i entered

racing against time

exit i can not

 

a train leaves

stranded i feel

bewildered at the gate

 

within the station

a great clock ticks

my time, my life

yours
