A Friendship Ends

The heart is broken with sorrow

It beats ever so slowly as you fade away

As I try ever so hard to pick up the shattered pieces

You seem to come along and tear the fragile thing away

All I do is succumb to your every word

Never fighting you for hope that someday

You will understand the pain you put me through.



You once stood tall in the heavens bathed in light

Yet now all you do is sit in hell and burn

Your once angelic voice shattered by the screams of pain

Your beauty withered and blackened by the burning flames

I wish to return you to heaven were you belong

Yet you keep rejecting the offer and wish to burn in hell.



So all I can do is let my tears run cold

As I know our friendship will never grow.



A Stolen Life

You poisoned my love for life

With your serpent tongue that spun a web of lies

A thousand kisses of an angels touch

That washed away the pain of the setting sun

O what a fool I was to believe in such a feeling

Such as hope could conquer the despair of my heart

Shattered like the mirrors reflecting the many monsters

Of my personality leaving me alone for eternity.



You showed me the way to the dark light we all fear

Hand in hand peace in our hearts as we took the final fall

Our love for life erased away like a distant memory

Never to return to the father land for the greatest of all sins.

O what a fool I was to believe in such a feeling

Such as hope could conquer the despair of my heart

Shattered like the mirrors reflecting the many monsters

Of my personality leaving me alone for eternity.



My last tear I shed for you before they dry away in the flames of hell

My love for life may be gone from the lightest of light

However yours has just begun to burn brighter than the sun.
