The Sparkle And Shadows Of Your Gaze

Your eyes are wicked windows to the past

I can see the sadness of when you've climbed and fallen 

And the bloody trails of scars upon your soul

Where you have triumphed over fear and walked out unscathed

It is in the sparkle and shadows of your gaze

That attracts them all

People have come and gone and left their outline in a mirror

When you look to see yourself

You see instead people you have plundered

Hot nights of passion in the darkness arise

Ecstasy 

Explosive and fleeting

Lost lovers speak to you in memories and vivid screams

You walk the path ahead of the wreckage

Within a crowd of yesterdays

Left behind

Trying to escape the sordid past

That repeats again and again

You can see the excess and lust 

Waiting in a new lover's blissful touch

Searching for tomorrow

In a new twisted dream

You fall

In a symphony of blood and pain

But will rise in a sadistic nightmare of the flesh

Ghosts that beckon

That will surely come

And come 

Until daylight

Bids farewell.
