~~Slanted and Enchanted World ~~

JOURNEY THROUGH SERVITUDE

I dreamed I knocked on Heaven's door
But nobody answered
I dreamed I knocked on Heaven's door
But nobody answered

Oh please wake me up
Bring me to a brighter future.
Your deep rooted prejudices
Keep me from emanating my light.
The gathering of our souls,
Hopefully, shall be the deciding factor.
But the constant collision of your heart
And privileged existence
Does little to give me hope.

Unfortunately we are creatures of our world
How could you be different?

Your highest faculty 
should be a moral standard.
Maybe this is only a creation
of my imagination
And nature has intended
 a separate  purpose for me

I wish you would oppose
 the tyranny of establishment
You only see the limited spheres of your life
I must pay for your shortcomings.
Sadly, by example from sight
These truths are self-evident

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Courting rituals aside
I only have my pride
While wishing for your love and affection
What am I do to without you?
My talents I shall show
But will it draw you near?
Will my utmost display
Not turn your head
And grasp your attention
I adorn myself with trinkets
With things that don't show who I am.
So shall I parade myself for you
While not being true to myself
But then who will you love?
Not the girl that lies inside
And not the girl that relies on pride


SLANTED AND ENCHANTED

Slanted and enchanted
'Tis the way I live my life
How I hurt for the elation 
Of the many other halves that I encounter
Wanting very much to be one with you
Being sorry for trying to entangle us into one
When we are meant to be two
Your happiness is golden
Next to my tarnished existence
It is a common knowledge
The world is so much more about you
than I, is it not?
How I wish to be the sky around your world
There's something here that's unspoken
My heart hears it loud and clear
But to you it's softer than the wind
The slanted and enchanted misconceptions
Of our lives beat and churn
Ever changing but always present
I can hardly describe all that I am seeing
There is something here that clings 
To my body, head, and heart
Though why I constantly hurt myself for you
I will never know
We share an enchanted coexistence 
That spans the universe
The ultimate misgivings and illusions of
Our intertwining souls
Lie just beyond the horizon of your emotional boundaries
As a shore is washed over
by the beautiful ocean
So shall I lose pieces of myself
In trying I am dying
My advice...
Never live too close to the water
The beauty will overcome you.


WIND

Standing at an open road
Asking my heart for direction
Vast, as vast as the sky
Lie all the possibilities of things to come
Oh I wish that something,
Someone can just give me an answer
Vast are the questions that yearn to be answered
So many choices, hurts, and pains
As many as the tears that pour
From the eyes of a being
Who has been torn apart
There are times I know what I want
But there are others
When I want to be strong
And try to get by
Do I ever know any answers?
Will I ever?
Why should I even try to figure things out?
Choices become memories
And memories are left behind
TRAGIC KINGDOM

Do you know if real love lasts a lifetime
Or is it just for a moment 
A moment of constant time
So, where do we go from here...
What do we stand to lose
If being together is our choice
Are we swept up
In some beautiful dream
My soul cries out for you tonight
The yearning leaves me to ask
Where do we go from here?
Divided by reason and emotion
My heart is torn
Am I wrong for still loving you
Or is there some omniscient force
That draws me ever closer to you
Wanting so much to feel our joining
The warmth that emanates from within
begs me to ask
Why we are not complete
Where do we go from here?

Many outside forces hinder true vision
The bird and the fish may love
Together, wholly in gracious appreciation
But where would they spend forever
So as I may love you
But where would our hearts join
Where do we go from here?
Before I give myself to you again
I long for the truth
this coy being must be saved
Why do I get so caught up in
The possibility of you and I
Should I hide what I feel inside
Even though these are things
That  I can't refute

A kiss, once shared
Pulls together forces
Draws them together
And embraces so much
Visionaries will say 
that heartbreak will follow
So, Where do we go from here...
I should have never kissed you
Feeling as if I drank
From the apothecaries fortune
The doomed existence of emotion
Makes me suffer, cry, and pray for you
Where do we go from here?
The silence echoes


OPPOSING FORCES

What do I want to tell you?
There is so much to say
But not enough words to say it with
You seemed to embody everything I wanted
Everything I longed for
And everything
that made up so many nights' dreams
But I was to be awakened from these dreams
So rapidly that I didn't even realize 
what went wrong
why the sudden shift
from something to nothing
How can these words of supposed
strong and true emotion just wash away
Like the sands of time
Was it me or was it you?
Who should be hurt?
Who should cry?
And Who will remain the same?
Whose heart has shattered?
This is the endless game we both played
Never ending or stopping for casualties
What happened to what we shared?
Am I just supposed to forget
forget we kissed
forget that I cared
Or should I just forget that there was even you
Maybe that would make us both feel better

I really just want to be angry at you
I want to yell at you and make you feel hurt
I want you to cry 
cry nights when you feel
you don't matter anymore to anyone
I want you to lie awake and wonder
what could have made you so horrible 
to another human being

More than anything I want you to love me
That is what it ultimately comes down to
It wouldn't matter if I didn't care
It wouldn't hurt so much
It wouldn't feel like my heart is sinking
So far down that there is no oxygen 
to sustain it's life

Yes I know you were one chapter in my life
and that there might be others
and, yes, life does go on
But why did it have to?
Why must i try to move on
I did not have to be hurt
and everything could have been fine

But, no, not now
Not when I actually need someone
to hold, to kiss, to love
Not now when the only thing I need
Is not only to love
but to be loved
And want to love that person in return
And definitely not now when lonely nights
drift into lonely, heartsick days
And not now when I live to repeat the cycle daily

I want to be able to say I hate you
So much
But the truth is that this love in my heart
never dies
It just changes
But my feelings, i know
hold little bearing in your world
And in my world
Life must go on
REMARKABLE ASSERTION

Let's talk about love
Let's talk about all the things
You meant to me
Let's talk about the pain I feel
because we are no longer to be
Let's talk about the love your heart felt
Let's talk about how much you meant to me
More than all, let's talk about the pain
I felt when you said it was over
Let's talk about the love you said was true
But then let's talk about how it was severed

Let me tell you about the feelings
That won't go away
Let me tell you how I hurt everyday
Let me tell you how my heart cries
And the tears that fall upon my face
Echoes all that I want to say to you

FLYING ABOVE THE CLOUDS

I can see happiness from here
But I can't reach it
My earth is the darkness
Pain and hurt catch me
Each recess holds fear
Only the sky that shines
Can save me from this
Dark alleys of my soul
Twisting like a maze
The way out can't be found
Reaching and searching for the way to be
Happiness is perfection
But perfection is sadness
Smiles can be seen
And laughter can be heard
But I am not there
And I can see happiness
But not yet enjoyed

THE CHAMPION

Expectations arise
What will you be?
The dream light surrounds you
Float toward me like the angel
I see you as this
But expectations can hurt
What if you aren't the great one
The pedestal kicked from under you
Down to my level you will come
Then we will see eye to eye
The workings of your mind will be known then
The unattainable you will be near
Am I up for the surprise of you?
Don't disappoint
Be the you that is embedded in my mind
Kiss and smile
Love and don' speak
Touch but don't push for more
Be my ideal
I will need you forever
YESTERDAY IT HURT

Here I go on my own
Do I need somebody, am I all alone?
Facing the wind
blowing and scratching at the skin
Burning and pain makes me smile
This lonesome life makes me stronger
Another day, and I am stronger
Walking and stumbling
The rain beats down on me
Who will protect me?
No one
I am one
Alone in this war
Fighting for my heart
Searching through the throngs of adversaries
Searching for the one 
to take away the echoing cavern
Commiserate for my shattered heart
I am alone and you are the antidote
But until I find you
I will be stronger than days gone by
SUBSTITUTION FACTOR

Laook at all i've been handed
All pain and decisions
Why is it that my hands are filled 
to it's capacity
There are more and more things being handed off
onto my hands, my heart, my head
Why don't I just cry?
People handing off their problems
Handing off their snares
Handing off things I don't want
And cannot bear

Standing all alone
With arms open wide
Your problems outweighing my own
Wait...Why?
Only because I don't scream out
Because I can't stand up and tell you
You are blinded by all your own
My heart screams out to you
Listen, please
Why don't I just cry?

Why don't I?
Because that would mean you have won
You have not permeated me yet
FLUTTER

On the tip of a butterflies wings
Lie all my hopes and dreams
Too quick for me to catch
or at least so it seems

They are too fast for me to grasp
They fly so quickly out of reach
I run and run
and out of breath
I fall and they escape

As I try to find my way
Through the forest to the day
When I can catch my dreams and say
This is where I hope to stay 
I will follow the butterflies
and try to find where I will have
A peace of mind

LIVING IN A SEASON

The cycle of living enthralls me
It keeps my skies blue
And my water's running
It keeps your kiss tasting sweet
And your touch ever tender
It makes me want to run and proclaim
And be happy that life has been
Beautifully handed to me
The cycle of living that I long for
Makes me yearn just to have you near me
To smell your hair
And feel your presence
Never fleeting
Always wanting to be near
My cycle of living
For you
Has been broken

Home State
