The Secret Life of Silverstein, by Loneliness is condescending
|
He sits in the dark of his room thoughts of sky instead of
roof
Dreams soar under earth higher then the rest
His tea sits cooled by the thoughts of a winter night
Dampening his flame heartless storm
The clock on the wall sits 40 minutes off and counting
Seconds ticking backwards to his future
Time muffling the voices that drift around the room
Sounding of to save his soul
Conversations go on without him as if he's not there
It's all crushing him inside
Crowding he feels them so he stands and bows and they
surround him
Internal conflicts have passed them by
Laughter and smiles past the rest by and he embrace them
Clearly forgiving them for their jaded thoughts
Lifeless knocking is heard on the front door
Cost of loving the forsaken ones
A door opens to an empty parlor
Giving up to deliver them
Answering the question of simplicity
Grand love too complicated for them to comprehend
Perfect peace in all its robes
Missing it for hectic days
Presences leaves for other things like destruction in the
world
Maybe this time they will get it right
It's not being counted on
Siverstine is keeping face
Instant gratification in a small amount of brevity
Sickly dream how quickly it went wrong
We will watch for it anyway
Blind faith keeping us alive
Watching those that see through the dust
Beckoning us to hollowed land
"Can you hear it"? Silverstine asks
His outrage is nodding deaf to all
"Can you feel it?" words spread like ice
" Heat feels like fire" *pulling jackets tight
Light dims down
Everyone is leaving the time has passed
Lightly he grabs his cup of tea
Evening has passed
He watches the steam rise from the cup
Filling up his vision
Heating his emotions readying him for the day
Forever is his curse
Today
