Keep Away

KEEP AWAY
Don't get to know me
Don't offer your friendship to me
Keep away from me
You'll only hurt me

Remain superficial
Then everything stays safe
Ethereal kindness that means nothing
A connection without substance
Don't come closer
Keep away

A heart of stone feels no pain
But mine is flesh
And filled with all the raw emotions of my soul
Keep away
You'll only lie
End up telling me goodbye
Let's don't let it get that far
Keep your distance
Sweet and shallow
Meaningless, ethereal

Don't raise my hopes to drop me from the height
Don't make me think everything's all right
It never is once they find out how I am
So do me a favor if you want to be my friend
And keep away from me

My Shadow

He wraps himself around me
Arms and legs
Silent heartbeat
Ethereal warmth
Taking the edge off the growing chill
The shivering caused by too many years
Lived without hope

Lord of Night

The sorrows of the day past crush me down
I wish for solace, to escape the acid tears that sting my eyes
I long for the moment when I may finally lay to rest
Encompassed in your silken indigo embrace
Lord of Night, grant me the soothing oblivion of your caress
Wash away my sorrows with your nepenthe
Rock my troubled soul as on the waves of a calm ocean
And receive for your own the warmth of my devotion
Lord of Night, salvation of my soul
