We sat on the steps of the front porch
Watching as the lightning...

I am sitting in angst
as i look as i look at you...

As i walk down the path
of life...

The masquerade masks
dance around my face in a blur...

Never truly living
until you truly love...

I was lost on a never ending path of pain
with no way out...

A silent scream
a deadly hollow...

Driving home after a night out on the town
laughing and carrying on not hearing that sound...

A mother staggers
and falls to the hard forest floor...

You lay in the bathtub
as the water fills to the top...

The walls, black
the bare floors...

I see it in your evil eyes.
Their serpent slits so deep...
