Ask The Voices

Gone are those days,
When you hid within,
Buried within a mask,
Hidden within shadows.

I must have tried for an age,
To smite you to the afterlife,
But you resisted as I had to,
You held on to your frail life.

You sought refuge within me,
Within my spirit and my mind,
All the time I'd hear your voice,
Shouting within my silent head.

Pointing me in the direction,
Promising glorious happiness,
Promising me a beautiful life,
Promising a heart full of bliss.

As I tread down the path you drew,
I followed it blindly with pure trust,
I pushed myself to a whole new life,
I pushed myself away from my past.

As I was setting within this shell,
The shell which you put me in,
You told me another tale of life,
You told me of the power within.

But the fates had turned away,
Plaguing my path with failure,
At every step and at every turn,
Condemned to pain and suffering.

As I was shipwrecked on lonely seas,
You spoke to me again and I listened,
The promise of true love, lost away,
The promise of a happy heart, broken.

Silence you passenger and hear me,
Answer my oldest question you must,
Take away the darkness within me,
And tell me the sin that deserves this.

My road has forever been paved,
With the noblest of all intentions,
Yet the fates see fit as they destroy,
Destroy my path and also my spirit.

Answer me now you passenger,
For my spirit is decaying away,
What terrible crime I committed,
To deserve torture before my eyes.

Tell me why I fail as I always do,
Why the happiness is always lost,
Why is it that no matter what I do,
The Angel is always further away.
