Array ( [sid] => 46489 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Within Me [time] => 2004-05-07 02:29:19 [hometext] => This is my first submission. I had no real motivation for this peice, it just kind of came to me and I had to write it down. [bodytext] => Images of birth and life and death inside my mind
Sifting through the ashes
Hard to see, too hard to find
Everpresent voices
Entities that used to shine
Ever fading visions that once saw but have gone blind

Fill the void before you leave
You saw me here, could taste my fear
Wishing for the pain to stop and then you can return

Feel the life run from me as I try to seek you out
Rummaging through memories
Falling quiet. You have to shout
Feeling through the darkness
Not knowing what is about
Fighting through the past and piecing what has been cut out

Raise the light as you come back
Can hear me scream within this dream
Waiting for the pain to come and bring you here before me

You arise to me at night and haunt me in my dreams
Is the hate still burning
Floats behind your eyes and gleams
Distant painful laughter
Yet inside my head the screams
Trying to get out, cant let them, don’t know what it means

Smile at me like you used to
Give me some proof, show me the truth
So I don’t have to kill that part of you that lives within
