Dark Corner

[Adrianna Carstyn]

World of Silence

The world kept silent
Invisible, mute
They no longer sang
Weary of talking

We were entirely among ourselves
Alone in the world
A world without God, without man
Silence fell again

Never shall I forget
The nocturnal silence
That deprived me for all eternity
The desire to live

There was nothing else to say
The words were choking me
No way to scream, to call for help
Not a sound of distress, not a plaintive cry
Nothing but mass agony and silence.

[Adrianna Carstyn]

Burning Ice

A cold flame
A soothing fire
All the same
Blazing desire

A single spark
A heated passion
A lasting mark
A sad passing

Burning ice
Freezing flames
A spinning dice
A single change

A lash of pain
Darkened heart
Acidic rain
Final depart

[Adrianna Carstyn]

I Tried...

I tried to be your heart
I tried to be your mind
I tried to be your listener
I tried to be your friend

I tried to say “not to worry”
I tried to say “have a laugh”
I tried to say “Be happy”
I tried to say “don’t leave me”

I tried to make you crazy
I tried to make you think
I tried to make you smile
I tried to make you content

I tried and tried
To do it all, but
It was never enough

[Rayne DiSalvo]

Isolation

Away from the world
Out on my own
Trying to get through
Trapped inside my head

A stream of confusion
Fear and pain
Mass chaos
My own little world on fire

Take me away
Release me into the darkness
Leave me be
I will survive

Isolation is my future
Isolation is my past
Isolation has consumed me
Too much and too fast
Alone I will remain.

Take Me by the Hand

Take my by the hand
Lead me through the dark
Take me by the hand
Leave me with your mark

Take me by the hand
Fill me with regret
Take me by the hand
I'm just another bet

Take me by the hand
Let me be me
Take me by the hand
Give me the chance to be free

Take me by the hand
Tell me you never cared
Take me by the hand
I know you were just too scared

You can take me by the hand
For one last heartbreak
If you take me by the hand
I'll always know you were a mistake

Helpless In Love

Thinking of you is different than thinking of him
Thinking of you just reminds me of what I had
Thinking of the way you hold me
Thinking of the way he left me

Feeling your arms around me
Feeling the pain he brought to me
Feeling drawn to someone close
Feeling guilty for it not being you

Wishing I could get past the hardships
Wishing everything would disappear
Wishing you were the only one
Wishing desperately that I could forget him

Helpless of the way I care
Helpless of how I’m stringing you along
Helpless of the way he makes me feel
Helpless in love
