...And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming... ...my draught of passion hath been deep; I reveled and I now would sleep... Edgar Allen Poe If I have marked a post with #scruffysatyr it is my original work.

Deeper Darkness
Deeper Darkness
If you've never felt desperation
How can you know me now
The heartache and desolation
Feel like home somehow
When what's good is abandoned
And you've cried and ran away
You lack the strength to stand and
To face another day
When the pain is so welcome
And no more your foe
When that time has come
You will then truly know
Why I embrace my deeper darkness
And let my demons grow

Separate Parts
I had a love once, did you know
We could not make it lasting though
Who is at fault, him or I
Was it shattered, did it fade and die
I look back now and as it seems
We both got lost in our dreams
We loved what we thought, not what was real
It must have been an easy steal
As time crept in, it claimed our hearts
Tearing us into separate parts

Duality's Edge
Duality's edge will strike true
Straight at me, but not at you
Soon then we'll all be free
Even you, even me
Then swiftly comes our time to die
Certainly you but never I

Elation
At first glance, everything would change
Planets align, and heavens rearrange
Mounting passion and loss of control
A gaze so intense, it pierces the soul
From that moment together, forever bound
Drowned in dreams and meanings profound
Two spirits, two bodies, desperately merge
Inside and outside, every profane urge
Satisfied and dwindled and kindled again
Locked in elation without an end

My Demons Won...
My demons won last night
I awoke alone, unable to fight
Familiar madness claimed my mind
My failing sanity could not find
A surcease, to torments so far, so near
Whilst empty faces did appear
A wicked smile, a cursed grin
The despair and panic forced its way in
And now, no dreams to bid me sleep
I tear my flesh and only weep
For lustrous,shimmering bygone days
Before my passions and loves parted ways

I've been staring at my reflection in the mirror for hours now. I keep wondering where exactly I got lost. I don't recognize myself; maybe I never did...
