...

You love to play in simple roles
A careless friend
A laughing fool
To hide beneath the wealthless drought
A heart unscathed
Absent of doubt
But time has not been kind
the lines you watch them spread
Your hand goes empty
Your soul unanswered
The scars all hidden from where you once bled
Your eyes scream in hunger
but your mouth never empty
Yet a sorrow resides
Behind a mask for all to envy
Confusion set aside
A beast yet untamed
In hells breast he hides
Set free from his name
Lie cold on this night
Make dreams of the shadows
Alone you are free
to conjure what follows
No blood to share flame
But desire brings warmth
Enough to ease the pain
from the emptiness within your arms
