Moonlight Sonata.

(requiem)

Staring at the sea..
(‘...Will he come?’)

(In the blur of serenity,
where did everything get lost?
The flowers of naïveté
buried in a layer of frost.)













I bow down before the one I serve.

Thought she had it all before they called her bluff;
found out that her skin just wasn’t thick enough.
Wanted to go back to how it was before;
thought she lost everythingthen she lost a whole lot more.

Just a reflection,
just a glimpse;
just a little reminder
of all the “what about’s”
and all the “might have,
could have been’s.”


...There is no place I can go, there is no way I can hide..
it feels like it keeps coming from the inside.


A fool’s devotion - swallowed up in empty space.
The tears of regret - frozen to the side of her face.


Tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches..
Tried to overcome the complications and the catches.
Nothing ever grows, and the sun doesn't shine all day;
tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away.


(...The smell of sunshine...I remember sometimes.)

“Anything at any price;
all of this for you.
All the spoils of a wasted life;
all of this for you.

“Tried faith, all worn and thin..
for all we could have done...
and all that could have been.

“I’ve done all I can do, could I please come with you?”


There is a hate that burns within,
the most desperate place I have ever been.


(“Got to get back to the bottom”—the big come down;
isn't that what you wanted?
To find a place with the failed and forgotten;
isn't that really what you wanted now?)

There’s always a way to forget,
once you learn to find a way how..


'There is no place I can go—there is no place I can hide..
it feels like it keeps coming from the inside.
..The closer I get the worse it becomes,
the closer I get the worse it becomes.'


(she doesn’t see her beauty;
she tries to get away.

“sometimes...it’s just that nothing seems worth saving.

I’d rather die, than..”
)

...I can’t watch her slip away.

‘I broke apart my insides, I’ve got no soul to sell..’

I won’t let you fall apart.


(she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by,
hoping someone can see..


“..if I could fix myself I'd... - but it's too late for me.

I wont let you fall apart.”
)

If you could show,
help me to know,
how it’s
supposed to be ,
where did it go?


pleading
needing
bleeding
breathing
feeding
exceeding


...where is everybody?

trying and lying
defying denying
crying and dying:

where is everybody?



Is there hope for me,
after all is said and done?



Ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear:
The destiny I've chose
all becoming clear.
The currents have their say:
“The time is drawing near.”
Washes me away;
makes me disappear.


‘I descend from grace;
in arms of undertow
I will take my place,
in the great below.’



I can still feel you.


Trying to get back to where I’m from.























Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be..
and I can see things I knew I really shouldn't see.


And now I know.


As black as the night can get...
everything is safer now.
