Checkmate

Silently walking down the street
skipping the tears on the sidewalk,
I caress the falling rain on my face
and cold breeze numbs my eyes
as memories break me from the inside...
Am I alive or just a faded memory in time?
I'm lost and although I'm not,
I'm just a dot in a spiral of descent,
I'm a walking dead, alive and yet dead,
I get home and there's something missing
a shattered hope still resides in me when it shouldn't,
home is no longer home anymore
I want to forget although I don't
and in silence I still crave for your scent,
the pillow once yours inebriates me from a far
everywhere I look there's a memory of you
and my heart prevails...
Strong on the outside, weak on the bone...
silence shouts your name in every moment
and I listen to it like a sour lullaby of yesterday,
today I feel what I probably shouldn't
but I canºt help it, you are here although you're not...
I try to sleep but I can't, in my dreams I seek for you,
I find you and make love to you one last time every night
only to wake up and find your absence...
Where are you now? I keep asking myself,
Why? I shout at myself why I keep doing this,
why do I still hope? Home... What is it now?
I return to the outside hoping the cold air will do me good,
I look at the starry sky and light a cigarrete,
slowly it kills me although I already feel dead inside,
meaning was lost the moment I wasn't enough,
checkmate, the king is dead...
The night lingers on and yet I still look for you...

In the Cold

Looking everywhere without being able to see,
cold air freezes my burning cold veins,
my head is low and it's weight unsustainable,
my hands can no longer feel your softer skin
like an ice storm upon me as the night falls.
One look around and words lose their meaning,
one step ahead and purgatory became sighing,
while the torture of time lingers and crawls
towards my no longer next of kin...
My tears once so wet became inflammable,
as past became torn and present lost as future pains.
Just as it was it will never be,
just as it should was declined to be,
whatever becomes I still can't see,
my eyes are open and yet I'm blind
everywhere I look, you it's all I find...
In silence I weep for your love so sweet,
for a momentary lapse of reason
to descend as a lightning scorching the skies,
but in faith and love there's no room for reason,
like a newborn that can't speak and so it cries,
Tears are the present and hope a mere wish of itself,
my eyes burn for unforgotten skies
as to breathe becomes nothing more than a reflex,
emptiness surrounds even crowded...
Speaking hurts, seeing hurts, breathing hurts...
The wind is cold
and yet something keeps me alive...

Ashes To Ashes

The ashes of insanity consume the air
it´s hard to breathe, it burns...
like the remaining of an endless fire ceasing
my lungs crush my heart into an invisible wall...
Another moment elapses as memories regain new meaning
the past becomes painful enough to disturb the present...
Dreams once so beautiful lose their trace in this cloud of ashes
carried by the wind I drift among the stones unheard...
In the void caused by your absence life stops to see the crossroads
breathing became unbearable and serenity was erased from the world...
A straight line will never be straight as the circle of fear around me
lost in tears as I bleed my heart through my fingers ashes disturb my vision...
The remaining dust slips through my hands although I want to hold on
I became invisible, a mere shadow of it all, a vision of the forgotten past...
In the midst of it all I still seek the soft touch of your hand and the comfort of your voice
hoping the hopeless on a mental craziness that corrupts my soul consuming me...
I want to untie my hands and I don't, my eyes can no longer bare this darkness
it hurts, stings me from the inside, a sword that torn my flesh apart without mercy...
I whisper for my punishment to burn me mercifully as a demon on a cross
I scratch my eyes without consent, without consent they weep, I must tear them apart too...
I look at the dust one last time, see it run through my fingers like your presence
like your love, like madman I cherish the pain by holding it still until I die once more...
Ashes to ashes
dust to dust...

In this silence...

It's so strange to feel the silence of the night haunting my thoughts once again,
While miss the sweet smell of the locks in which I drowned so many times,
It's so strange to miss the sweet sound of your dreams filling the room,
This empty void you left in me it's burning like a thousand fires of silence,
This silence that once caressed us in our sleep but now stings me so loud,
In tears I worship you from a distant set of clouds,
The fuel that once burned for you it's now consuming me,
In rain I seek the confort for the pain of your loss,
I'm not a brave knight on an enchanted unicorn but still I fought,
I'm lost, afraid, scared and scarred and still here for another beating,
I bared the seasons until the sun was no longer strong to keep up,
While missing the sweet smell of the locks in which I drowned so many times,
I'm now just another shadow in the dark,
Another pigment of dust in the hurricane of abandon,
The star that once brightened my day is now gone
and somehow when I was walking towards nowhere realised
that shadows now live in the dark!
