All around is endless light Breaking the stars away from night Taking them into our hands Using them to light our lands Filling metal, glass, and clay Dressing darkness like it's day Lying wakeful amidst the dark Holding close the living spark We never fade into our dreams Having made our own sunbeams

Shattered glass people Jagged edges and spires Sunlit prisms Crimson to the touch Fragile reflections Memories of fragments Sparkling in sleeplessness Known only to the moon Dashed into earth Repeated mistakenly Fragments to fragments Shining dust in the wind Breathe in the shards Drown in epiphany No egress to be found From the mirrors of misery

Beautiful Gems Body, mind, and soul Shown in all their grace and glory To us of another plane Simple humans with eyes unwavering Watching the screen as adventures unfold Captivated in their world's embrace As a young boy grows into his powers And his crystal guardians save the world We root for them We laugh in their happy moments Smiling as they do We cry with them as things fall apart Wanting to hold them and tell them: "It will be alright." And as their enemies strike We cheer the Gems onward Wishing we could fight with them And save the Earth from harm once more When each piece of that boy's life completes We find ourselves wishing we cou

I live as I can I fill the time as I must I barely breathe around you I'm just so afraid There's so many tears I'm drowning inside But for you, a shaky smile For you I hide it This internal madness The anger The hate For you I don a mask And when I am away It shatters And my breathing stops The world is red I shake from it all The unstoppable force The endless abyss Just darkness inside All that I push away I can't stop the feelings The hate, anger and tears Except for you Only for you And in that Only for fear.

This world that hates so constantly That draws it's sword across my neck And yet I live and breathe and cry Still shambling about in this nightmare Bleeding as I always do Blackness spinning about my mind Take these sorrows from my overfull hands Take the barrier that numbs my mind I want to cry freely as once I could I want to scream to skies no longer blue Free me from this world so black Tell me lies so sweet and pure Tell me that I'll smile one day I believe you every time you say it "I'll make these problems go away." Let me live like I once had done Dreaming dreams so peaceful and kind Naive in the ways of this place I fall Give me

Where have you been oh smile of mine? Lost in darkness all those years When my own heart was on the line Were you drowning in my tears? I see you mirrored in my reflection Shattering the mask that adorns my face Brought forth by the person of my affection For the first time in years you look in place May this smile break my endless facade These chains that lock my heart away And though this grin and cracked and flawed No longer shall I hold it at bay

Converging paths dark and still Air heavy with winter's chill Shards of glass beneath our feet When at last fate bids us meet Do lean on me oh weary soul These journeys always take their toll This patch is rough on your path I shall draw the forest's wrath Roles reverse and I can walk no more Agony a tide that's washed me ashore Suddenly it's you who holds me steady We stand together until we're ready Let us wander, hands clasped tight Waiting for our trek's end so bright At the forest's edge, meadows green Where you'll be king and I'll be queen Through all of this together we'll walk Past the shades that creep and stalk Suffering, pain a

Time is trickling away from me Sands of the hourglass flowing free Hours count down one by one Days vanish with the sun Yet here I stand still as stone When all time has run it's course I must look back without remorse Bring to surface hurts and pains Thoughts that may drive me insane And set them into ink To you I send this final letter As I throw off my chains and fetters Stretch my wings and fly away Into the light of a brand new day Never again am I yours
