Sinking in dark shadows.
Faced upon depression
Slinking into a darken cave
Square light fed the hunger

The need to lie
Making me feel better
Ignoring most
Hurting the best of the best

I lost my way
My hand lost grip of yours.
The field of dandy lions and grass
Turned to barbwire and glass

I slipped in to the darkness
Out of reach of others around
Pulled under by my own despair
Thinking no one cared

So many times you tried to pull me out
Took my bloody hand in yours
But broken glass is sharp
Barbwire rips flesh

And you had once visited yourself
To many attempts left skin rough and bare
Watching you give up
Was the hardest to do

I shrugged off the ropes that held me
Limped out of the mind field
Took a quick look back and kept on walking
Jogging to find the one that tried to help

Seeking on top of the greatest point
But only memories lingered
Long walks and late night chats
They where always there

Hospital Butterflies
Pictures last forever
So many times I looked
Not a corner of my mind left unsearched

It was me and now I see
That visiting that place
Was just as hard for you to do
As seeing me there

That place long gone.
Tore down by a better storm
Yet our blood remains on that ground
A year spent in denial

Arrogance grew rapidly
Jealousy of you moving on with out me
Fear of being left
Left alone

In the coldness of your shadow
But now we walk talk
Proud to hold on
We made it through the darkness

Towards the sun we go
Dancing and skipping
Our life’s tangled together once one
It feels nice to have you beside me

Once and a while memories come back
But one talk with you
And all is the past
The land of nowhere is out of mind

Keeping me out of it is your job
While my is to keep you as well
Let’s leave that place for good.
In bad thoughts of simple words

I hold you higher then myself
Leaning on your strong suport
If not for you I’d be
Sinking in dark shadows
