Nine lives aren’t enough Many meetings, many lives Gone, lifted away

Addicted to self Your heart merely an organ Whispers in the dark Nothing left to lose Love & compassion or death

A poster princess Her love a web of deceit Running from her truth

Exit current path Remember amnesia Careless memories

Lost within control Each direction leads back here Like you the lonely Good enough for me I know all I’m living for

Black days to blue nights Alone in a crowded room Find one like myself You betray yourself Your presence felt, I found you

Peripeteia Safe haven turns to fortress Every kiss a lie

See, feel, twist & turn Desireless, mystery seen Once upon a time

Shut down uncertain Arms length from the other side Emotionless blade Loves a world away Unnatural existence

Diaphanous love Feeling real an illusion Real the hurt and pain Penetralia Her younger self still crying

You bring life to me Paper won’t keep or make leave Shelter from the fear Heat beneath winter Troubled dreams leave me alone

Purple black and blue Concealed behind steel blue eyes Protean nature

My favorite sin Rainbow in the dark you are Nightmare fantasy

Bleed to disappear The past that holds the triggers Erase the patterns Fear of losing love A life forgotten to live

You can shackle you It’s so hungry in the dark It’s some cruel penance Unclear agony Who shows up, who walks away
