Mere Mortal

Tossing and turning and twisting
Pushing and pulling and resisting
Back and forth and around
Caught and trapped and bound

My thoughts are ravaged
And my heart has savaged
All this waiting and indecision
The world is torn to division

Oh, how am I to choose
What’s to win and what’s to lose?
Heavy is the lack of portal
And I am but a mere mortal.

Is it in my power to relinquish power
Before the ground rises to devour?
Or am to pay the profound price
For tasting of the fruit of entice?

Glass And Illusions

What a fool I was all along
To believe nothing was wrong.
How could I have assumed
While, all along, darkness loomed?

Told myself, close your eyes
And hate will be none the wise.
Put all faith in my delusions;
Built a world on glass and illusions.

But darkness has a way
Of bringing about decay.
Permeating through the cracks;
Confusing all the facts.

Now this illusion is coming down;
Shinning towers falling all around.
And all the fault is mine alone,
For not having built with stone.

Courage

Go slow,
Go slow with me.
I’m scared,
I’ve never been here before.
This place in new to me;
Take my hand, gentle,
Guide me through this place
Where even you have never been.
I’ve taken up all my courage
And put it in your hands.
Too late, we can’t turn back now
So, come, let’s keep going.
But, please, go slowly.

Upon My Knees

My heart is broken, it's stopped
So how is the world still turning?
From my sky the sun has dropped.
What's left of me is churning.

When there is a silence in my head
How is a world of people still speaking?
There is nothing left to be said,
As the sounds of the city are peaking.

There is a severe numbness in my being
I've no longer control of my limbs anymore.
From within me the desire to dream is fleeing.
I'll never be able to return to how life was before.

It takes everything to refrain from looking back
But neither can I see what is ahead of me.
Barren now, the future appears pitch black;
I've been brought down upon my knees.
