The Fall

Breathing in pale memories lost
I walk into pale oblivion
Alone in the dark
Through the thoughts I strike
Writing my path with a poor rhyme
Upon the edge of forsaken world

Lying bleeding
I’m suffocating
Without you there is only the last fall for me
Where is the end of pain?
Why should it remain?
How do I live?
Why do I breathe?
What am I fighting for
If one last door is closed?

Without you I’m not living
Only bleeding for another dawn
For the past to cascade with poison within

Breathing memories fall with a shattering sound
Hardly escaping away from the venomous bound
Night’s suffocating for another morning to call
As nightmares coil around me with cold

I walk ahead alone
Covered with ashes and blood
Everything I ever prayed for
To be sincerely loved
Breaks through the aching core

Lingering here, lost for all
I still believe and hope
For another heartbeat
For silent dream to live
To breathe your scent in

The world remains in shadows
Where the dawn is dead
Final call of memory is swallowed
And I take a step ahead
Now I’m not afraid

Lying bleeding
I’m suffocating
Without you there is only the last fall for me
Where is the end of pain?
Why should it remain?
How do I live?
Why do I breathe?
What am I fighting for
If one last door is closed?

Why do I live this pain
Over and over again?
Heal me, ease this suffering
Make me whole once more
I want to feel love
Without you my life is but a dark oblivion

For you I fall to breathe free
Breaking the ice of the past to be me
For a smile on your lips
I spread now my wings
For you I write path by path all over the earth
Painting another star’s birth

Because of the smile upon your lips I fall
Longing for forever more
