Defeated

Oh, shed your tears,
My lonely stars,
For the trees grow not
And the rivers dry.

How silence tolls
Ever loud,
To fight the battles
Lost from start.

Deep sadness spells
What the heart's known since;
No sense in waiting,
Fate has been destined.

Not Enough Stars

How many stars are in the heavens?
I dare ask all of thee;
For if countless is its number,
Why is there none for me?

Why is there none to answer
Those prayers i have cried?
No there can't be enough out there
For not one of them is mine.

Immense may be the universe,
Or so they say, I'm told;
Until it holds a star for me,
I'll always believe it small.

Shame

if life is a failure
while death is pure
who is to say
where one should go?

his blood is black
her sweat is gold
the servant bleeds
the master is cold

the chamber opens
the door unlocks
the will surrenders
to heaven's dock

shame to the sinner
lust is the cause
a dark heart's deed
a spirit lost
