Bells
There is a course I know I am leading.
I will stray not from its thirsty fire.
Rather, I cannot hope to stray.
Come day or night the bells shall sing of you.
And I shall participate gelatinous.
You are pulling on me to subside,
tugging at me from all sides and in all forms.
Come day or night the bells do sing
and I without shelter walk beneath your storms.
Once I colored the night fantastic
when I thought that there was a you
but in truth there never was.
I was merely seeing what I chose to see.
Now the bells, they mock of your parlor tricks
and that falsity does remain.
Come day or night the bells still and will always sing of you.
In so doing they slowly drive me ever more insane.
I wanted to ride this storm out, your storm out with you.
With what I thought was you
for that is whom I fell in love with,
the only you I ever knew.
Now instead I am to follow this course that I cannot break.
Not a dream nor a nightmare, just reality that I cannot take.
Father, so I learn how to fake.
The course is on fire.
There is a beast in my heart
wanting to sink its teeth into you.
And those damned bells!
Those bells ring!
Come day or night
I walk this fiery path
without a clue.....
because in truth there never really was
a you.
