The World was Deathly Silent
The silence was insufferable,
and nothing was heard.
And nothing seemed to move,
Not even the fluttering wings of a bird.
The clock seemed trapped at a minute to four,
no one had passed me by yet,
and as I walked shut were the doors,
and at the school the bell was silent.
Not a thing did move,
even the hands of the clock..
As I began to wonder if
I was the only living thing on the block.
On the playground, not a kid was there,
And at the lake, not a duck in sight.
I passed a bee upon a flower, he was deathly still,
And as I looked up, not a single bird in flight.
I began to run, someone had to be here,
But as I ran through the town,
In restaurants, in parks, in stores,
Not a single person was around.
The air was beginning to smell musty,
And not a car was upon the road.
I began to shiver in fear, something’s not right here,
As I began to sweat, I had a feeling of forebode.
I finally heard a faint bittersweet sound,
Like the ringing of a bell.
And as I turned and saw a black-hooded figure,
I then realized this was hell.
Broken
Sometimes when I look at the sky
and see the stars smiling back at me
sometimes I wonder about my place
and sometimes it seems all like a dream
Keep hoping for your return
keep hoping you'll come back
from the veil you hide behind
the veil of black
I look up at the sky
hoping it's all alright
but then again it never is
or is it just a hidden light?
MY burdened heart so full
hoping it was all a dream
but then again, what ever is
and so my soul has no gleam
I look at the darkness inside
ever consuming the light
covering my judgement
making me do what's not right
Destroying my heart as if it were a toy
The one of darkness, the one of light
Now I shall never e the same
That part of my heart shall never be right
I'm confused, how can it be
That someone could do that to me
Nothing left, the lights go out
but I still wish to see
A blinding light, a burning love
so has my heart been closed,
but look the sun rises today
so maybe it will go
I doubt it now, but it shall come
ruin my life, destroy my love
but then again, I'm moving on
And so I fly away like the dove
