Zombie Lover

Shattered into fragments
Only time remains
Remiss against the pressing
Desires
We tend to dance
Listless and tulmultuous
Through life, through love
And out again
As if captured forever
In animated repose
Transgressing into
Regrets
Doubt lingers like
Coldest touch
Tendrils in the mind,
Marrionette
Belief turned upon
Is now consumption
Action without thought
Thought without depth
Depth without soul
Consume
And remain
Dead

Vanish

Where do we go
At the end
When all we do
Runs against the tide
When we run
Into the wall
When our brilliance
Is just vanity

Where do we go from here
Watching all you grasp for
Dissappear
What is it you strive for
When everything seems to be
Broken
What can you do to come clear
When all that you are begins to
Vanish

Shoveling shit
Your dreams flail
Like a rag doll
Someone's got to fail
The purge of hope
The culling of joy
Your smiles fade
And again you say

Where do we go from here
Watching all you grasp for
Dissappear
What is it you strive for
When everything seems to be
Broken
What can you do to come clear
When all that you are begins to
Vanish

Wondering how
You got here now
Throwing down
Your useless crown
Bloody ruins
Pain runs deep
Like a target
Like a damn creep

Where do we go from here
Watching all you grasp for
Dissappear
What is it you strive for
When everything seems to be
Broken
What can you do to come clear
When all that you are begins to
Vanish

One Damned Day

Against the thrust of the knife
Bleeding hearts locked in desire
Lost against the sea of belief
Weeding out each other's pain

Believing in a gentler ending
Trust against the tides and rain
Repealing what you really know
Stabbing the drowning heart

Within their chest, beating hard
Hearts begin and remain, testing
Passing through each and every day
Vastly underestimating, opened

Here at last, it has come to you
One damned day
Here at last, trust has broken you
One damned day
Bleeding out, the knife thrust too deep
One damned day
Shattered against these broken walls
One damned day

Torn into a bloody mess and broken
Trailing behind the onward pushing
Conclusion of believing in this ending
Now detesting standing in this rain

Footholds slipping, going backwards
Longing now is all that is left
Belief was what you once possessed
Illusions dissapear into the sea

Running now on empty fumes, protest
Like empty husks which winds possess
Gentle endings turned against the hearts
And pushed, far too deep, we weep

Here at last, it has come to you
One damned day
Here at last, trust has broken you
One damned day
Bleeding out, the knife thrust too deep
One damned day
Shattered against these broken walls
One damned day

Acceptable Losses

How did we get here
From where we once were
Into this state of being
So many things
We took for granted
Took away
Successions of
Intimate knowledge
In repose
Mutual attenuation
Subtle changes
Less ourselves
Brought to bear
Against each other
Over unity, perpetually
Broken, unresolved
Without healing
We dissolve
Without earning
Trust and giving
Benefit from doubt
We embrace only
Acceptable losses

Comfort

Fragile cocoons
Shielded from the randomness
Without perspective
We who are encased
Unaware, unabased
Unprovoked to find
New fate
Embolded by a higher care
Denying lesser phantom noise
In this system
We judge our own
But which defines
Itself alone
Closed structures do not allow
Our benign instructions
Beliefs in moral equations
To be tested
Beyond belief
Within this system
This shield
From grief

Lid (Haiku)

Flip open the lid
I punch the power button
My whole world has changed
