The world engulfed in evil fire,

weakening our will to be alive,

using us against ourselves,

us killing to survive,

while achieving our desires.

The world full of empty threats,

not one person would fulfill,

but scaring nonetheless,

testing our naturally strong will,

you don't want to take the bet.

The world full of anger and sorrow,

destroying what we want most,

leaving us hurt and unloved,

a demon taking our body host,

while we try to fight for tomorrow.

The world full of evil deed,

all done without care.

Payment is payment.

No money would they share,

because of their tiring greed.

We sit and we wait,

for the sluttish time,

that will bring us to our fate,

upon its clock chime.

We like to pretend,

time is doesn't matter,

but when our time ends,

our hopes shatter.

Time is our life,

the utmost importance to us,

when it stabs us with knife,

we don't want to take that bus.

Time is the only thing we should want,

but we only realize that when it taunts.

You fight without end,

hoping to see the light,

but it's all just pretend,

taking all your might.

Sometimes it's a battle,

sometimes it's a war,

but your cage you will rattle,

until you're stretched to the core.

Everyone is watching you,

waiting in the hall,

watching hearts break in two,

waiting for you to fall.

You fought courageously all your long, hard life,

just to have your dreams stabbed by a gleaming knife.

When day becomes night, 

and night the day,

when our thoughts turn to words,

leaving nothing to say.

When our mind becomes our heart,

our heart is our mind,

And truth is hidden well,

lies are what you'll find.

When your tears become your laugh,

and your laugh your tears,

and you begin to love,

everyone of your fears.

When the days seem endless,

and nights never end,

we'll just close our eyes,

and befriend our pretend.

It is in these weeks, 

when what you want is gone,

and what you need left,

leaving you utterly alone.

Leaving you on to fend,

off any pain that rains down,

Replacing that beautiful smile,

with a serious frown.

We all sit here and pretend,

trick ourselves into believing a lie,

hoping there is no end,

to this fabulous life.

We all lay here and fantasize,

the things we always hoped for,

while others criticized,

and our hearts they tore.

We all stand here and lose strength,

to chase what we dream,

when the road grows in length,

and all we want to do is scream.

When truth is all we need,

they've only got lies to feed.

The sweet scent,

of white lilies,

mixed with briny tears,

brings me back,

from the future,

through all the years.

I remember now, 

all those silly,

helplessly inevitable fears.

I can still see,

the ugly reflection

of myself in a maze mirrors.

I know of the disease,

that killed millions,

because there wasn't cures.

All the lovely ladies,

and humble gentleman,

plus all the good-hearted dears,

all clock-work, 

but someone stuck

a stick in the winding gears.

The screams of pain,

the cries of anguish,

being all ones ear hears.

The quick flash,

of flickering life,

as a painful death nears.

But suddenly, 

after your gone,

a flame of life peers,

through the darkness, 

into your heart,

and the world around you disappears.

You realize then,

it was all a dream,

and there's happiness to your tears.

Dear Tomorrow,

It's your light I see,

in the blackened dark,

Will you, I plea,

save me a spark?

Sincerely Me.

Dear Yesterday,

This is my good-bye,

my last thing to say.

I hope you live a great life,

and go in your own way.

Sincerely Me.

Dear Today,

I will keep you in mind,

as I lay asleep,

but in you I'll find,

memories to keep.

Sincerely Me,

Dear Someday,

I'll keep writing you nightly,

giving you my all,

your words to hold on tightly,

even if I stumble and fall.

Sincerely Me.

If you feel alone, 

think of  me.

If you want to go home,

it will come to be.

If you feel like crying,

I'll come wipe your tears, 

If you feel like dying,

I will help you find the cure.

If you feel like you're sunk,

I'll soothe the pain. 

If you're overly drunk,

I'll walk you through the rain.

If you need me,

there I'll be. 

Love is a stranger magic,

we are all affected by,

manipulating our desires,

making us feel high.

Love is a darker magic,

destroying who we are,

making us commit ourselves,

just to see it from afar.

Love is a lighter magic,

bringing true delight,

in this crowded cave of life,

all the way through the night.

Love is a stranger magic,

although not unknown,

it is an amazing present,

humans can ever be shown. 

I smile a bright smile,

in spite of the pain,

dance a lively dance,

in the pouring rain.

Run despite of tread,

Laugh instead of cry,

Eager in the face of dread,

in the snow storm I'll fly.

I plead guilty in front of you,

in defiance of innocence,

Keep my worries few,

and marvel at life's brilliance.

I'll mask the feelings so real,

numb so I don't have to feel.
