As You Wish

"As You Wish."
A promise
simple
But came with it
A vicious lie
It was never thee
who left me
but twas I,
thinking you gone truly,
who betrayed
You cannot break it
With a thousand swords
Or track it
With a thousand hounds
Only with words
Could I venture
To render this in twain
For what naively,
I thought for the better
To the death...
And ever
To the pain

Willows

The willows are blowing
The willows are swaying
The willows are calling

I was not loved too little
Only too well
Pleasure from heaven
Caved to your hell

My faith was unyielding
Nothing but true
My loyal heart beating
My sorrow for you

I waited in white
I waited and sang
My mother, never wrong
And now I must hang

The willows are blowing
The willows are swaying
The willows are calling

play along

How incredibly stupid can I be?
Lost in my own
Naivety
I ripped out your heart
And I watched you bleed
Tearing you apart
Then picking my teeth
But I came back again
Thinking everything is fine
Expecting your love
Only taking up your time
I must be some monster
A demon inside but I was
Hoping you would grow from this
But I watch you hide
What did I expect?
The story was wrong
But they want to believe you
So I’ll play along

indifference

I shrugged
sat smiling
read nothing into
anything
that's what you wanted
and I gave
giving you
empty glances
vague impressions
mindless chatter
witless banter
reserved emotions
and in feigning indifference
found it in earnest

Sleep

I could shut my eyes
I could close my mind
I could forget
I could unwind
Unfortunately,
Sleep
Had other
Ideas.

Darek

I walked these paths
These paths walked by so many before
Betraying those I had sworn to protect
By giving into emotions
More unsurmountable
Than the worst enemy I had faced
I gave this feeling life
It took seed in me
And I prayed
