Graveyard Coffeehouse

Tear It Down

---

He dreamed
Of tearing down
The haunted castle
Of the mind
The dark never land
He had built
Stone
By
Stone
Breaking it down
Walking away
From
This house of pain
Pleasure
Ecstasy
He called home
Escaping
When all hope
Seems gone
When He
Was lost
Alone
Wanting to feel
Again
To become alive
Undead
Searching
For true love
In the darkness
He found
Shadows
Memories
Ghosts of a dream
That haunt him still
That beckon
From the void
Wanting to destroy
The eternal love
That beats
In the chest
Of a monster
A fiend that grows weary
Of the hunt
Knowing the hunters
Draw close behind
Remembering the taste
Of her lips
As they kissed
Under the light
Of a full moon
Whispers
From a Dark Forest
Say
I love you
Then
Fade away
Dreams come alive
In the black
As he awakes
To the silence
Of an illusion
A beautiful lie
Staked
Through
The heart
Tear it down
His mind screams
Taking in
The futility
Of it all
Chasing eternity
With a crimson kiss
Razor sharp Incisors
Tear it down
He hears
Like thunder
Through his mind
But
The monster
Lives
Rising again
Seeking his prey
Extending his hand
To invite
Her in
For he cannot
Forget
The sight
Of forever
In her eyes
Or the poetry
When they made
Love
Bodies
Passionately
Dancing
Singing
In the Night
With moans
Sighs
The sensuality
Of Sin
He is damned
For all time
For he
Has tasted
Blood
It is too late
To
Tear
It
Down.
