RomanticsWhen I left work, I lit a cigarette and took the long way home I stopped to watch the sunset at the corner of Zehner and Freshcorn I laid on the hood of my car until the stars came out The stereo played "Album of the Year" as I sang aloud Through the music I heard a soft voice singing alongRomantics
I sat up and in my haste I fell from the car She laughed until her face was as red as mine She helped me up and said "I'm Elise" I stuttered and introduced myself I asked her if she needed a ride and she was hesitant "If you don't accept then I insist you take my jacket" She lau


DecadenceI walk these winding halls Laced with open doors and open wounds Each room stands the same as I left it Stories unfinished, outcomes unknown The lighting varies between pitch black and blinding white Ironically the two are one in the same Its all varying shades of greyDecadence
At the end of the great hall, on the west end coast Stands the most extravagant door in this dreaded complex The picture engraved tells of a once great passion Gone stale with the turning of the page Light bursts from all sides of the closed door Begging to fill the hall with its exuberance &nb


SalvationThe darkness creeps and it seeps in Through the ears and eyes Images and audio clips repeat in the mind It courses through ones veins Like a suicide mission, the end is clear It surges for the heart and its home It settles in and it spreads Until the muscle itself is black with ruined pasts and broken dreams At first its easy to hide But over time the darkness becomes stronger Until you can no longer force that fake smile Not even for loveSalvation

The wind brushes over you, like rosemary kissed by gentle hands, but it only renews that numbing cold of an echoing winter. You bite the lower right end of your bottom lip, and grab the holy cross, gleaming below the vintage green skies that is abandoning it's blue hue, and think about crucifixion. The one thing that has made you begin to think about all things sharing the name of 'holy' , and then you try to understand why nature, too, must be crucified. (then you try to understand religion, and you cant, nobody can.)
