Into the Dark

Into the Dark


We will never be
Be as a complete soul
Soul is dying as we wait
Wait in this night and die cold.

Body will fall asleep
Asleep in the cold air
Air grows too heavy
Heavy as what we must bare.

Giving into this feeling
Feeling like carbon and nothing
Nothing will bring life back
Back into what is something.

Will you be with me then
Then we will see what we are
Are we to become something other
Other than the story so far?

Hear the tune of the end of my time
Time to give up the fighting
Fighting for our piece of hope
Hope will die without us trying.

Hold onto me as we fade to black
Black overwhelms my face
Face the truth of falling forever
Forever we wander in this place.

Over there a man looks into our eyes
Eyes on the one we can trust
Trust my heart as we start to cry
Jesus Christ save us!

A Place from Earlier Days

I once woke up missing something,
A place that did not exist,
The alarm was like a final ring,
And that thing was held in my fist.


What I held was not of human design,
And I must have been sleeping still,
As I began to see the hints and signs,
That it was more a time or a place, if you will.

Gazing at this world in plain view,
Deep sadness consumed me as I stared,
Every inch of my sleeping body knew,
I could never be there.

In this tiny world,
Yesterday did not happen,
Tomorrow was never to be,
And these people treated today,
As if it would last for all eternity.

As I awoke not sure what I was missing,
I am sure I would have wept,

Only,

I was afraid they were listening.
