Entropy

by Rich   May 21, 2004


Broken promises,
Shattered dreams,
Deafening voices;
Bursting at the seams.

As I throw down my last hope,
And like a vase, it smashes,
I breathe, and like the great Phoenix,
I start to rise from the ashes.

Perseverance is my only strength;
Humanity drives me mad.
To survive, I'd go to any length,
Never seeing good or bad.

I'm unloved,
My feelings hide.
I'm undone,
My feelings died.

I was wrong about loving you,
I was wrong to believe,
You were wrong about me, too;
I wasn't born to deceive.

I lie to myself,
To stay between the lines.
Put back on top shelf;
And now I see the signs.

Cast light upon my wounds,
Poor salt into the burn.
I'm a chaotic wasteland
I give away what I earn.

You're the nothing I despise,
The one I love to fight
You'll never be my demise
I've kept you in my sight.

And now my final words,
This'll be a big surprise;
It's in nothing that you keep me,
But from nothing, I will rise.
