Father, Love, Honor... I must choose... When I would rather take a long walk off of a short pier and feel the cold waters steal my last breath.
Confusion sets in.
My heart aches.
My eyes burn with the tears I shed each night.
My mind haunts me
Memories that take me to a time and place that seems so
They feel unreal... and yet they are the comforts in the nights haunting twilight.
Peace will not be had.
Death will be far to easy.
Life is what I choose.
I choose me...
ME above all else.
The night is streaked with the blood that stains my hands.
The blood that runs rich in my heart.
The pain.
The passion.
The sorrow.
The love unsowed.
The simple mustard seed.
Tears streak the cheeks like a lovers caress.
Silence is her loudest plea.
If I were to just vanish into the night, would any notice?
If I were no longer there, would they still hurt?
If I ceased to exist, would any shed a tear?
I would hope not.
No tears to be shed.
Laughter and light to be shared.
Tomorrow brings the promise of more hurt to be rendered.
More pain to burden.
More choices to make a folly.
More obstacles that will crush.
My heart is weary, my mind amok, my soul in darkness.
When will my clarity come to rescue me?
Nothing seems real.
More like the lone road to trod upon.
Not even a shadow to bring the comfort.
No medicine to heal the hurt.
Alone;
Do I carry inside of me,
a love that will live past my mortal flesh and breath.
A love that will not release me from its chains;
The bond that will not die.
Forever,
Is not long at all.
The past is but a moment ago.
Present is surreal.
The future, dark and uncharted.
Forever...
Are the stars in the sky.
They feel unreal... and yet they are the comforts in the nights haunting twilight.
Peace will not be had.
Death will be far to easy.
Life is what I choose.
I choose me...
ME above all else.
The night is streaked with the blood that stains my hands.
The blood that runs rich in my heart.
The pain.
The passion.
The sorrow.
The love unsowed.
The simple mustard seed.
Tears streak the cheeks like a lovers caress.
Silence is her loudest plea.
If I were to just vanish into the night, would any notice?
If I were no longer there, would they still hurt?
If I ceased to exist, would any shed a tear?
I would hope not.
No tears to be shed.
Laughter and light to be shared.
Tomorrow brings the promise of more hurt to be rendered.
More pain to burden.
More choices to make a folly.
More obstacles that will crush.
My heart is weary, my mind amok, my soul in darkness.

A love that will not release me from its chains;
The bond that will not die.

The future, dark and uncharted.
Forever...
Are the stars in the sky.

The Space Between - Dave Matthews
You cannot quit me so quickly.
Is no hope in you for me?
No corner you could squeeze me,
But I've got all the time for you, Love.
The space between the tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more.
The space between the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain.
But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like will it rain today?
We waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games were playing.
We're strange allies
With warring hearts.
What a wild-eyed beast you be.
The space between the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain
But will I hold you again?
Will I hold...
Look at us spinning out in the madness of a roller coaster.
You know you went off like the devil in a church
In the middle of a crowded room.
All we can do, my Love,
Is hope we don't take this ship down.
The space between where you smile and hide
Where you'll find me if I get to go.
The space between the bullets in our fire fight
Is where Ill be hiding, waiting for you.
The rain that falls splashed in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The space between, our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain.
Take my hand
cause were walking out of here!
Oh, right out of here!
Love is all we need, Dear!
The space between what's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you.
The space between your heart and mine
Is a space we'll fill with time.
The space between...
