Watching Death

Watching Death:

Like black smoke grasping at your neck,

Awakening to check, (to check)

Blood stains, like paint across your wall,

Waiting for you to fall, (to fall)

That single moment you never see,


The character you don’t want to be,

The knife that stands on end in fear,

The person who won’t shed a tear


The man who watches as you walk,

The chills you get each time he talks,

The smell that lingers in his presence,

The words he always seems to reference…


Never-ending, always descending,

An unknown eye upon the defending,

Watching death with your closed eyes,

Only realising where when he dies,


Throughout time, you’ll never see,

How death is watching over me,


With shadows, that stay dry in the rain,

Avoiding endless pain (the pain)

Lost time is swallowed by the night,

Wronging what seems right (seems right)


Losing what seems rightly done,

Losing honour to become,

Losing Life to re instate,

Losing love replaced by hate,


Gaining powers you can’t control,

Gaining pain but losing soul,

Gaining eyes which watch in fear,

Gaining there but losing here…


Never-ending, always descending,

An unknown eye upon the defending,

Watching death with your closed eyes,

Only realising where when he dies,

Throughout time, you’ll never see,

How death is watching over me,

How death is watching over me,


And you…

I'm Lost


This wasn't really inspired by anything just a spark of imagination and a little thought came into the idea and I went from there. I hope you enjoy:


I'm Lost:


Tropical palms open, grass begins colouring itself,

Painted upon the texture, what’s all this happiness about?

Ocean’s as clean as paper, wood is as smooth as it could be,

Though with all this positive output, sitting alone that would be me,


Hidden beneath the light,

Lies memories of the night,

The darkness swallows me whole…


And even when I try to escape,

Bombarded and trapped in this place,

The darkness swallows me whole…


I’m Lost, my soul crushed like grain,

And even in the sun, I’m trapped in this rain,

Alone and engulfed by all this sadness,

I feel so ashamed and embraced by madness,

But at what cost,

I’m Lost,


People arrive excited, prepared for the wonder and the joy,

Yet the mystery goes unsolved, the mystery of this lonely boy,

They dance and they sing, without a care in the world,

Though ongoing terror, his life been crashed and burned,


Captured without a reason,

Entangled within his treason,

The darkness swallows him whole…


Lying about how they treat him,

Starve him, leave him, beat him,

The darkness swallows him whole…


I’m Lost, my soul crushed like grain,

And even in the sun, I’m trapped in this rain,

Alone and engulfed by all this sadness,

I feel so ashamed and embraced by madness,

But at what cost,

I’m Lost,


Locked in a cell,

My own personal hell,


The darkness swallows me whole…

Superman

The title speaks for the inspiration. Sorry its been a while, hope you enjoy.

I might not wear a cape,

So what if I can’t die,

I’m just a normal being,

A being who can fly,


And what If I can see you,

When you’re not even there,

Doesn’t matter if I’ll burn you,

With a single depressed stare.


Because the truth that’s hidden behind the shadows,

The realisation you haven’t seen,

My powers are only a certain degree,

Of who and what I’ve been,


So as a soar through the skies,

Regretting all my lies,

All the powers you think I can,

But without you,

I’m no superman…


While you stand both in awe,

Horrified at me,

Don’t you realise the truth,

The truth you cannot see,


Open up your eyes,

Look deeper inside,

Apart from kryptonite,

You’re the reason I hide,


Because the reason of which, the final conclusion,

Each time that we touch,

I feel my power drained, I’m hung over by my confusion,

But it’s a broken clutch,


So as a soar through the skies,

Regretting all my lies,

All the powers you think I can,

But without you,

I’m no superman…


And as the wind pounds my face,

And as my heart begins to race,

And though a mission has been set,

It’s you I can’t forget…


So as a soar through the skies,

Regretting all my lies,

All the powers you think I can,

But without you,

I’m no superman…
