Hope

Standing on the cliff looking down.
Waves hit the bottom of the cliff tearing away the rock.
Time erodes away, slowly deteriorating, never coming back.
So much time has passed, too many things left unsaid.
Walking away, not turning back. That's the answer.
If only we had more time...

Theory

Light and darkness. Good and bad.
Whats the meaning of it all.
Who's the one that decides who is good or bad?
What does it mean to be good or bad?
The bad guys could very well be the
good guys for all we know.
Why can't we all just get along?
We really are all the same.
I must be pathetic if I actually think that
could ever happen.
But I can't help but wonder...

Is all the fighting worth it?

One by one (we all fall down)

One by one they stand in line
One by one they walk in time
One by one they show their fear
Not ready to lose what they hold most dear
One by one they show their face
Scarred and mattered without replace
Then their commander begins to frown
for one by one they all fall down

Ghost

Wind rushes by, playing with soft hair.
An emotionless face stares at the writing on the rock.
Turning away, walking quietly down the path, leaves blowing through the air.
Turning around one last time.
Sighing and shaking their head they turned around one last time,
continued to walk on, pretending not to notice the weeping family that couldn't see them.
For it's hard for a mortal to see a ghost...

LIsten!

A scream shatters through the air. Glass shatters into intricate little pieces that litter the floor.
A frail body hits the ground with a thud. Shocks of pain race up and down bleeding veins. More glass brakes.

Won't you stop?

Bloody tears hit the floor. Pitter, patter. Legs wobbly try to stand only to be thrown across the room. A cry escapes a scared throat. Words, taunting and painful, run through dead ears. Neighbors hear but don't respond.

Don't you care?

So this is the end. That thought runs through a destroyed mind. Bowing her head, she lets a slight smile grace her features one last time. All thoughts stop. It's all over.

Can you hear that? Thats what a broken heart sounds like...Nothing at all.
