Twisted Fate

Don’t let the words that I left unsaid echo in your head.
(Now I speak to you as a heavy void fills the sky,)
As a darkness rolls in.
There’s a pressure in your eyes.
It gives birth to a tear.

Your tear hits the ground,
(As spiders paint webs in the atmosphere.)

Stars of hope become tangled inside.
They suffocate from the weight,
While shooting stars collide.

Time moves slow.
Yet It seems so fast.
(Abide your time, make it last.)
For in the explosion you see,
That a solider is no stone.
Stones don’t cry.
An immortal marine will one day die.

Don’t shed a tear for me.
For I am dust.
(Spread your broken wings.)
Feel the light of heaven shine so bright on you as it once warmed my skin.

I see things you can’t see.
I hear things you can’t hear.
For when your gone the impossible lurks near.
In the depths of every shadow.
Around the corner of every bend.
In the walls of every mind.
(The impossible is not far behind.)

Fragments of diamonds and shattered dreams penetrate the skin of hope.
Cuts like the lonely thorn of an aging rose.
(When all hope is bleeding on the floor.)
Life is broken, happiness is no more.


Move yourself from this paralyzed state.
(Awake to change your fate once more.)

Detach these strings of which you hang.
Take a trip to the atmosphere.
Untangle the webs that smother the stars.
Cut them apart.
Greet them with all of your heart.
Bleed tears if you must.
Cleanse the hope of its dust
Abide your time, for life is never a thing to fear.
