My Last Request
To you I write my last request
Please keep it well and do your best
To keep the things you love alive
The things close that made you thrive
How could you know? I told you not
The way I felt, how my skin grew hot
Breath got shallow, eyes aglow
And how I cried to see you go
To not tell you, my last mistake
I correct, fill in the blanks
Tell you the story, tale unfolds
Of a love as pure as gold
For when I saw you, eyes a bright
Fiery hair and full of might
I felt a growing deep inside
A need for you I fought to hide
But now I’ve passed into the dark
Please do these written words hark
Don’t let your love slip away
Instead pull close and drift away
Fallen Angel
Alone in the dark
With a blackened heart
One full of emotion
Rage and despair
As open as the ocean
As endless as the air
Cast out of the heavens
Laid naked and bare
Wings torn from her back
Yet she feels they are still there
Fury growing deep
Burning through her eyes
A loathing she will keep
For the world till she dies
Left to scour the earth
With a never ending hunger
From the instant of birth
For the blood of another
All the bodies she will mangle
As a forlorn fallen angel
Close Your Eyes and See
You never truly miss something
Until you’ve gone and lost it
You never truly lose something
Even when you can’t find it
Until the day you die
And pass away in peace
There’s always something you can find
Where you expect the least
A place that only you can go
One only you can find
Just close your eyes and you will see
Sanctuary in your mind
No one will really know you
For whom you truly are
Even those who are close to you
You’re world is just to far
For them to go or you to leave
Yet there’s always in between
A common place, a meeting ground
A place I’ve never been
Eternal Flame
Beneath an endless burning sky
An immortal soul I cannot die
Although I’ve said it all before
I wish it again and forever more
No one to hold, no one to touch
No one to tell I love so much
They way they talk, the way they laugh
They way I felt as I watched them pass
From day to night and night to day
Like ash and dust they drift away
Yet I live and curse anew
Each day I kept my love from you
Sleepless now I lie awake
And so I shall until I break
The chains that hold he to this life
That brings my harsh eternal strife
Instead I lie in bed and pray
The moon and stars will go away
But years pass by in the blink of an eye
And again I wait until I die
My Last Breath
As the gaping maw of night encroaches
With silent footsteps, death approaches
This I know, I don’t deny
There’s no escape, tonight I die
The feeling now of falling down
Through empty space without ground
Fills me with a maddening rush
And though I’m freezing I think I blush
The rosy colour amid pale skin
Belies the cold I feel within
With almost no strength inside me left
It’s a struggle to breathe my last breath
As it comes out in a whisper of death
I try to scream out in the night
Yet no one hears my silent plight
Alone in the cold dark again
I begin to cry as I crumble in
With a chilling wind it starts to rain
But nothing now can chill the pain
There’s no escape, tonight I die
This I know, I don’t deny
With silent footsteps death approaches
As the gaping maw of night encroaches
Vampire’s Requiem
In a depthless sleep of translucent dreams
I ponder on the changing themes
Of who and what and when and where
And why the stories are laid so bare
For me to see and dissect
But then the dream roads they bisect
They change again to something new
And the story unfolds, the one of you
From birth to death in a second
No time to waste or to lament
For new visions do arise
These ones beckon my dark demise
Lost in dreams to never awake
From a death only ended by stake
Siren’s Song
Whispers sweetly in the air
Of loving touch and gentle care
Entangle you and declare
A secret place without despair
The voice it gropes and pulls you there
Whispers sweetly in the air
Draws you far from love and care
A summer’s song made to snare
Those who don’t and those who dare
Dream another dream as fair
Screaming siren’s fill the air
But it’s too late for you to care
For drawn to death in their lair
By hardly human yet so fair
Demon goddess’ entrancing stare
Midnight Visitors
Darkness falls and I feel dreary
Night descends and I feel weary
Of the things that creep around
Lurk through shadow and make no sound
To tell you if their there or not
Thinking this my head grows hot
I shut my eyes and try to sleep
And make no sound, no cry, no peep
But yet I fear they know I’m here
So I clutch to me what I hold dear
My life, my story in a book
And pray to god as I take a look
A darkened room from roof to floor
But wait I think there’s something more
A bulky shadow, did it just shift?
It turned around, its head did lift
A stocky blob at the end of my bed
With furry paws and a spiky head
Golden eyes I then saw
Fixed upon me it stared in awe
Its eyes they lidded as it blinked
And it seemed to pause and think
Of what I was or could be
Of it, the same thought passed through me
Then the eyes I saw again
Transfixed, they swirled and pulled me in
And made me feel so warm and soft
As the creature called aloft
A cooing noise to call its kin
An open window let them in
Hypnotized yet still awake
I watched the fuzzballs as they take
Nothing but my fears away
Then they’re gone and to this day
I still get visits in the night
From fuzzy demons with eyes of light
Torn Heart
Before I had met you
I was quivering with fear
I didn’t know what to say
Or even what to hear
But now that I have met you
My world is turning black
I don’t give a damn about you
Unless you can turn time back
(Chorus)
You came and crushed my doubts to start
Then went and tore my heart apart
I loved you with all of my heart
And you tore it all apart
I thought that you could save me
From all the pain and suffering
But now I see you for the lie
And the game you were playing
You will not be forgotten
For ruining my life
But now that I am dying
I must be rid of strife
(Chorus)
At first I was so happy
And I thought you were too
But now I’ve realized
What you did behind my back
You made me feel so worthless
Lower than a rat
I’m tired of being used
So now I’m fighting back
(Chorus)
I thought you were an angel
The most beautiful living thing
But no, you were a demon
With hatred burning within
(Chorus x2)
Your Final Betrayal
Life and death will slip away
Like the fleeting shadows at the end of the day
At the core of being, at the edge of life
You will get cut down with the blade of my knife
I used to think you were a god
With a golden shiny haze
But now I see you’re a fraud
Trapping me in a maze
It’s like you threw me in a pit
To wallow in my own despair
It’s like you stabbed me in the back
Without another worldly care
There’s nothing more for me to lose
And I can’t see how
What is the choice I must choose?
What do I want right now?
Hate’s all that I have left now
After the way you tortured me
The worst of it is over now
I’m just waiting to be set free
Life and death will slip away
Like the fleeting shadows at the end of the day
At the core of being, at the edge of life
You will get cut down with the blade of my knife
I need some room to breathe
In a blast of cold air
Everything seems to freeze
And I don’t even care
Your heart is like ice
And you’re fists made of stone
You lay down the beating
Breaking all of my bones
But that won’t stop me
Not after what you’ve done
After that a shattered knee
Is like a walk in the sun
You come charging at me
Like you never even cared
Say goodbye to all your dreams
And all the things that we’ve shared
Life and death will slip away
Like the fleeting shadows at the end of the day
At the core of being, at the edge of life
You will get cut down with the blade of my knife
Crashing down like a wave
On the burning shores of hell
In an eerie glowing cave
Look how far down we’ve fell
Tears hit the ground
As the sky grows black
I used to love you so
But now I can’t go back
You’re lying on the ground
All battered and beaten
It’s a new path that I’ve found
And it’s the one that I’ve taken
Disappearing in the distance
I can’t see you anymore
I’m leaving you behind
For now and evermore
Life and death will slip away
Like the fleeting shadows at the end of the day
At the core of being, at the edge of life
You will get cut down with the blade of my knife
Keep the beautiful words flowing Ryan.. you have an amazing talent and I am so honoured to be able to say you are MY son!
