In Memory Of You

Emotion is either useless or powerful.

Emotion

Is a motion

A notion of

One's thoughts for

Another

Trading hearts for

Another

Love or stone

To replace

The face

Of a beating heart's pace

Running to or away

It's all the same

Love is how it feels

To be chained

Remain untouched by

An alternate reality

That we create

So we don't have to

Face our fate

Love is a painful

Beautiful bliss

Death's kiss

Like this

Is how I feel

When I can't feel

Anything anymore

Completely numb

But on Cloud 9

Flying high

In the sky

With a head full of

Twisted fantasies

All designed

To keep my mind

Off of my life's

deepest most painful 

Sorrow

At least just until 

tomorrow

When I feel like dying

Crying and no longer flying

This is how I feel

When I feel

Like I don't have a heart

At all anymore

Can't fall anymore

Can't feel the remorse

Melting to apathy

Happily taking over me

Coming in

Invading again

Ripping my soul

Making me cold

I shiver with a smile

Knowing it'll be a little while

Before the Lonely culls me

Lulls me to sleep every night

I don't know the day when I won't

Wake up alive

Thriving to see

The end of me

In a foggy future

Emotion

Is a motion

A notion of

Emptiness inside

Just moving through the motions

Emotionless to me

So distance from me

You're so cold to me

You're so cold in my time

We can hold hands, it's fine

I see your eyes

But you can't see in mine

Mine are clear

You can't catch my tear

As it slides from my face

I'm a disgrace to love

The emotion love

I'm sorry, my love

But you never loved me

Still you can't see

The pain in me

That I suffer through

To think of you

You'll never know

When I go

The reason why

I had to die

I died in

Memory Of You

[Ethale Captor]

Excuse my pet peeves, but "it" and "was" makes the word "twas", therefore making "it twas" actually "it it was". Just a side note.

[marie]

[Ethale Captor]
