What shade of me am I today
am I light, childish and mewing
Dark, ancient, and brooding
Am I the educated Geologist?
Or the observant parent?
Am I the myrid of diagnosis
That dot my chart?
I am simply… Damien

longing to whisper the name on lips
untainted by false conversations
Anika goddess of time abide me
Sora my stormy moon fly to me
No my darling Sakura tree
I know it can never be

I dream of empty spaces
rooms vast and void
no faces
an endless sea of agony

I dream of dark despair
no light to find for me
The people do not care
that others outside dying

Wake us please
I no longer wish to dream
the nightmare the disease
is callousness of men

A shadows pain in icy vein
Doth carve the shallow path
Down the road with no redemption
Is this sweet death at last
Alas tis not, we the dark eternal
Live forever pulsing crystal beats
Within our chest as if a heart
Everlasting carries the memories
Let us crush the stone, a curse
May we forget who we were once more

A torrent of words meant only for my sorrow
Why then? does one not know the dreams?
entertain not idle fantasy, Sora the illusion
Ignore and chase nothing for reality is here
In fire and air Aldra and Kyra ignite
but me i exist in boring monotony
I fought the dark the void of mind
India’s maiden returns like dashed hope unkind
A dreary storm for stronger men
A monsoon my soul it rends
why be sad when joy abounds
I have a love yes more than one around
sweet beloved spouse of mine
and lady Sora in dreams to find
when I need compassion to plead
I can lean on my pet my dear Kitty
Not alone yet solitary not deluded no
I fight the dark with these
plead I then to ask why remind me?

A world cold empty vain
void king deserves no name
Lost in ice forever cold
Bury now this decrepit soul

Cold as ice the wandering
Ever doth my heart to break
Will for me a maiden sing
Alas that siren no joy bring

No warmth in heart or hearth
No fire to light my joys
Am I broken still?
That my pen bleeds ill?

Nay I look to those I love
Even as I am numb
I am their void king, friend
In them my heart can mend

I try to break the chains
Tight around me
Suffacting my will to write
Erasing my drive for poetry

Is there no romance?
Passionate emotions linger
Do I have nothing
My words a bee with no stinger

I cannot find my soul
Mired in my despair
For all the love in the world
I am alone and none care

I don’t get it
I don’t know how to get through to you
And I don’t get why people act the way they do
Babe, I don’t get it
No I can’t figure people out at all
Like how do I make a simple phone call?
I don’t get it, I feel lost inside
Why do people say I hide
Ask if I’m angry or depressed
When I neither smiled nor frowned
Why do people put me down?
Like I don’t get why people lie
Or why I can’t be who I am inside
Why am I expected to be like you?
Babe what am I suppose to do?
I just don’t get it
Why I gotta look you in the eye
When I said it hurts a thousand times
Come on now don’t touch me please
I just want to be left as me
But I think you don’t get it
Yeah you don’t get that this is me
And while I’m trying hard you see
I shouldn’t have to change
Just because you feel I don’t fit in
You don’t get it, That I get!
You JUST don’t get it!
