Fighting a chess game sunset

I have to do it

I must push through this

Will strong as stone a defender guarding gates

A quick-lipped fast quip

Equipped with the reaction of disease

As the sun goes down and sets its pink filter on the brewing storm

Our shadows touch a revolving fight

As we’re pieces you’ve set down as pawns

To hide your betrayal’s reveal

But the sky won’t meet the ocean today

For the people you take full advantage of are forever broken

Hearts you steal for yourself

Keep them close so they cannot heal

And you can think of me while you have the time of your life

Because I can’t be the only one who got the bad end of the deal

Left empty-handed there is no remedy for what you’re demanding

These feelings aren’t lonely they are spoken by everyone

And when it comes undone you’re the one with blood-drenched hands, unclean

About ReflectionistBaz

I love to draw, paint, and make music. I hate people who talk to much, and never listen. And people who are too consumed with themselves to take the time to find out how you are doing. Ignorant people who cannot take their heads out of their asses if their lives depended on it.I am a little left of center, but that’s fine with me. I don’t need to be like everyone else. I generally keep to myself. I love music, art, the occult, supernatural, weird and unique objects, talking to friends, painting, drawing, reading, gaming…
