E - Flat ( losing it )

They tug and gnaw at my sanity;
Twist and eat upon my rationality.
The decaying line between fantasy;...
And that which seems reality;

 No longer offers hold to me.

Unsure who I am or used to be;
These demons are my reality;
These Alps that haunt me;

 They are now my integrity.
I am but a shadow entity
My sanity drifts into infinity,
My mind is blasphemy,

 Blackened to total obscurity.
Reasoning is for humanity,
Not for the likes of me.
Insanity covets me comfortly.

 It cradles me with security,
Whispers sweet lullabies to me.
I sink into its serenity.
I begin to lose my rationality.

Holding my Hand

Now I feel like I've been living,
Out on the darkside of the moon.
Don't know when they're coming,
But they keep telling me, "Soon".


So I'll wait, passing time,
Not much else I can do.
It don't matter; It's alright,
Because I'm here with you.


Nothing really maters now,
Just make it through the day.
So I watch the sands of time,
Flow and make their way.


Sometimes I shudder,
As they pass me by.
Sometimes I laugh;
I don't know why.


Don't think I could,
Make the demand.
Without you here,
Holding my Hand.


Now it feels like I've been drifting,
Through the void of Space.
If it weren't for you,
There'ld be no light in this place.


I'm just floating here,
Through this endless night.
It don't matter; It's ok,
With you here holding me tight.


Alone; if not for you,
You're the only one.
You are my rescuing Angel,
My light, my Sun.


Nothing matter more than you,
You are my gravity field.
I orbit you like a satelite,
My longing will not yield.


Don't think I could,
Make the demand.
Without you here,
Holding my Hand.

Season of Love

`Tis a time to love; to give,
Don't care much to receive.
`Tis a time to smile; to live,
No matter if I believe.
Christmas is time with family,
Time to laugh; time to play.
The season to set a smile free.
To pack the year into one day.
With luck it might snow,
Blanketting the world in white.
Spending comfort, letting me know,
Love is in the air tonight.
