The Journal that was too cool for a title.
It's too cool for a title
The Frailty of Flesh and Bone
Again I have been proven wrong
When I dreamt to live forever
That we might live, and then grow old
And in the twilight, die together

To once have loved and then to lose
While searching for eternity
I lost it all in my search for hope
And love, that enigmatic entity

While you wait for it to get here
You’ll learn your heart never knows best
And now you’ll be forever waiting
Because forever never seems to last

War is the age of our tomorrow
And the violence grows within our time
Ride off and fight the losing battle
The fight to take back what is mine

That stolen lump of flesh and blood
Which, life to you, it does impart
Just give it back and let me fall
Just give me back my broken heart

Our lives are so very fragile
There’s frailty in flesh and bone
And the thing that’s frailer still
The living, breathing human soul

Perhaps you’ll find it’s truly better
To have never loved at all
Or you could just break yourself again
One last slip deems one last fall

The love that you feel for her now
As blind as a shattered glass eye
That love now forms a cross of thorns
And nails that bind you, crucified

the last part made me want to draw something.....dammit! I wish I hadn't lost my picture with the headstone that had thorny vines growing over it.... I really worked hard on it too crying ~pouts~

back to the poem...it's pretty, I sware I could feel pain in these two stanzas:

To once have loved and then to lose
While searching for eternity
I lost it all in my search for hope
And love, that enigmatic entity

and

That stolen lump of flesh and blood
Which, life to you, it does impart
Just give it back and let me fall
Just give me back my broken heart

tho I didn't get so much pain in them...I think I liked those two though

Thanks. ^^

The whole thing was written from a tormented point of view, really lol.

Its all about remorse and self realization of the fact that you ruined yourself in persuit of something you weren't supposed to have, and you do it again and again.
