Finale of Seven Years

Drasche · Feb 6, 2004

Rain, rain falling on my sill
Still no sign of letting up
Each drop a curse to my will
Each drop to fill a tainted cup
Sitting here with my arms crossed
Lost in a tortured reverie
My world is tossed
A boat upon a stormy sea

Building, building is the crescendo
An arcing pain at its climax
No longer sane because I said so
Just clutching the bits that aren't so taxed
Understatements made in my hallowed halls
Tapestries woven with spider's silk
-now cut into shawls
-to warm a body racked with guilt

Torrents, torrents to fill the throne
Drowning bone and flesh alike
-and bursting walls in my home
The floods from my reddening eyes
I appeal to you to stop this nonsense
Turn from your foolish ways!
By my own order I was sent
-only to waste a year of days

Father, Father in kindness I err'd
For the sake of a lost cause I strayed
Into the face of mercy I have stared
In this unforgiveness no longer can I delay
I am abandoning this outpost
Let it be desolate and rot
I now return to the Kingdom's host
I will leave the scorners with their lot.

Ender's Pain

Desecration
Nothing left for me to glory in

You stole the last of my joy
I gave you the rest of my heart
-in a self-releasing ploy

I don't know where to begin
My soul holds malice towards you
It stands in direct opposition
-and gives me no solace

Is there an end to the pain?
Must I forever cower here?
Who dares not tell me I am sane?
I have fought for a mediocre life
There was nothing truly to gain

My time here is finally done
I won't come back this way again
I move on without a victory won
I face my friends in shame
Still going like I'm under the gun
My body bruised from your curses

(( sneaks in a little ooc...Glad to see you back on the boards Drasche...))

Always wanders past the tree while in the general area, usually idly glancing past the snippets of love and general whimsy.

She seemed to still for a moment as she looked at the tree. She blinked a few times and then she smiled as she drew near.

It was that familiar scratch of words on paper that made her smile.

After reading the words, she nodded as she wondered if he was moving on. She considered that as another smile formed on her face.

She thought about leaving a note, but didn't want to leave any reminders of that time which seems an aeon ago. Instead she continued on, content at the moment to see simply that he was alright.

Endless Waltz

{No, Lace, a fool always returns to his folly}

A forever repetition
I find myself in the same position again
Three beats, one cycle, two hearts, no way out
How could I do this again?
It would be better for us both,
-one way or another
-But what is the right?
My dreams are in constant flux
Should we never have met?
Or should we never have let go?
I don't know the truth anymore
The movements change, but the dance remains the same
It began years ago, and the band is still playing
Why aren't they tired yet?
I am, but I remain in orbit anyways
Curse my feet, and my foolish pride
-and curse my gentlemanly behavior
They keep me in this endless waltz.

To My Dear Friend. . .

To my dear friend,

D_____, you won't believe what has happened to me
I did it again: I let it come back
As another year approaches the end for me I grow frightened
I don't know who I am anymore
It's as if I'm not in control anymore

D_____, if only you were here
You could give me council and save me from myself
You know as well as I that we all have our inner demons
I just get so tired of this fight
All I ever seem to do now is fight

D_____, I'll speak to Dad for you and me
I'll write you with his answer back
Except that I already know he'll say "Don't be frightened"
What a fool I've been, letting history repeat itself
Lying, acting, hating, hurting; the cycle repeating itself

D_____, what I'd give to have you here
A corrective voice and a brother saving me from myself
We alone could put to flight legions and hordes of demons
But we've let ourselves become blinded by deception
Look away! Don't give in to the pleasure of a deception.

The Deafening Errors

I'm standing here, watching the tower burn
The crenallations reflect the glow of the flames
I shake my head, knowing that this could have been avoided
You didn't listen
You never listen

What did you want me to do?!
Would you rather I stay so that you can tear me in two again?
What kind of sadistic witch are you?
Why must I fight with my feelings for you?
After all you've done, I should harbour no love for you

Years ago I told you how I felt
You made another error
I pleaded that you would walk away, but it was too late
But you didn't listen
You never listen

There was an interlude, a joke more than anything else
He didn't even mean anything to you
You said you loved me
But it wouldn't have been the popular choice to make
You appeased the peasents, and crushed the prince

I knew it could not last
It was out of convenience that you had decided to begin with
If you truly loved me you would have heeded my advice
You didn't listen
You never listen

Some time later the music played for me
I was King of the lands
My eccentric, bipolar behavior was overlooked for both our sakes
And I gave you everything I was, and everything I wanted to be
You held my attention, I held you body and soul

But I threw it all away
I made the second greatest mistake of my life that night
I was afraid of hurting you, but I can't bring myself to tell you the truth
You won't listen
You never listen

Now you are walking down a path of destruction
Everyone sees it but you
That incubus you follow cares nothing for your welfare
He has his desires, and you are naive
The damage this time may be irreparable

Your pride has blinded you
Your arrogance has made you deaf
But it doesn't matter: you have always refused the truth before your eyes
And you don't listen
You never listen.
