A Nightmare While Awake

Phoenix

An eternal rage that engulfs the mind

A cold sting that makes the soul writhe in agony

Tears held back by the hearts wall

The very thing said to have been promised to never fall

Yet still inside the body weeps

A bitterness, unknown secretly seeps

The thoughts ring loud, the head pounds

The internal being burns while the physical being freezes

Now there's a permanent scowl

Underneath the soul howls

For what it has lost, for what has been done

For the battles it has fought, better never has seemed to won

Cause you tell yourself your fine and choose not to cry

But deep inside you burn and now you wonder why

Cause a feeling has been summoned

Not a monster nor a friend

Telling you that now you know not to do that again

From the ashes of betrayal, birthday the feeling of revenge

A new thing is known now, and it's the darkness within
