Aging

Down the path of darkness
you can feel the pain sink in.
Not sure where you started,
not sure where you've been.
It shouldn't be much longer now
before the shadow shines its' light,
you search yourself for answers
but never get it right.

Your daybreak has turned to ash
and the night wind blew your dream away,
now you see that life is all just pieces,
on your soul the darkness preys.
It's so wrong to feel this way
on your soul the darkness preys.

You try to hide
behind a pillar of lies
hoping the dark will never see
the truth you hold inside of you
but you can't seem to set it free.
From the screams of shame
the hearts' to blame
for the body has grown so cold.
There is a constant pain
that flows through your veins
When did you get so old?

Your daybreak has turned to ash
and the night wind blew your dream away.
It's the empty mind that wonders
on your soul the darkness preys.
From the path of light you dare not stray
on your soul the darkness preys.

Waiting in line for Heaven
because you were turned away from Hell,
in between you fear the sorrow
but there's no one there to tell.

As the night wind blows your dream away
and your daybreak turns to ash,
you feel the darkness closing in
and your life has gone too fast.
You reach for what you thought was real
only to find the nights' broken seal,
in a pit of despair where the soul lays
is where the darkness preys.

Brilliantly deposited!

another deep, dark piece. A 'pillar of lies' is a beautiful image, and perfectly portrayed, and the repetition of 'daybreak turns to ash' pushed the momentum of the piece along. well done, yet again :)
