Existence

an ode to existence

glowing pain.. shines so brightly
why can noone else se----------e
for granted i take nothing lightly
sensitive more than i should be
your ange--------------r is laughable
you get so distra----------------ught
would like to see you ba--re this
the pain of what i have fought

 

your expressions of interest
seem to disrepai------------------------r
the yearning-------------- for comfort
in m-------------------------------y bones
it saddens me s---------------------o
to know i will shoulde----------------r
cold and misunderstood

impression of a false shado------w

 

following me like a clou------------d
i can't draw a brea-------------------th
without knowing you-------'re there
watching it al--------l come undone

 

and so i------------------------ turn away
you presume--------------------- i'm aloof
not totally the-----------------------------re
am i waking------------------ the demon
is this dream now up--stan--------ding
slide me onto the ear-------------------th
brush off of  your hands-------------------
feel me in your pores much la-----ter

 

a conscience has gro---------------wn
appearing over our val---------------ley
and epitaphs plaster our hills------------
the fruit falls------------------- on the road
paperbark washes down ri---------ver
tormenting--------------------- the current
just------- like-------- my---------------- soul
awash------- with no contro--------------l

 

following me like a clou----------------d
i can't draw a brea------------------------th
without knowing you------------'re there
watching my worl----------------d unravel

 

falling apa----------------------------------------rt
i echo i'm to------------------------------------rn
like this changing--------------- of season
haunting---------------------- me---- s---------o
just------------------ as---------------------- numb
as before there wa------------------------s life
in my hear--------t------------------ in my mind
no----t even------------------------------ existing

 

i stood for what i loved ------never for what i knew
i stood for what i loved

I can relate to one side of this. That's some mighty monster in there, your words are almost advisory and sympathetic in this. It's like the narrator has totally given up all hope and the demon has taken control and is dictating. Strong words, packs a punch. Well written.
