Walls enclosed all of this hate. <br />Anger blinded victims of despair. <br /> <br />There was no love <br />deep down just pain <br />Only one true escape <br />A portal to true love <br />and no other. <br /> <br />The real world was not enough, <br />never uncruel. <br />Sorrow stalked joy around every corner, every shoulder. <br /> <br />Music was life. <br />Substitute for reality. <br />But when the music wasn't enough, <br />What did you have left? <br /> <br />Angst, sparked by self hatred <br />poured into a cracked vase of empathy. <br />Dark, then light, over and over again. <br /> <br />Why hold on to fall again, <br />A loop of addiction. <br />Hope then came, life was made. <br />Finally, something to live for. <br /> <br />Hope never lasts forever. <br />It never goes without pain. <br />They are one, following after the other. <br /> <br />You had no choice. <br />Covered up by fake love. <br />All to be lost. <br />Peace is afoot, <br />But anger is what you have. <br />Forced to nothing but a shell of fire. <br /> <br />You will never fade. <br />The world you built is still strong, <br />And it stands tall. <br />Encapturing the lives of your believers. <br /> <br />You are not gone. <br />When the heart is opened <br />you are there. <br />When songs are sung, <br />you are near. <br />When the pictures are hung, <br />Your story is heard. <br />You will live on <br />Forever. <br /> <br />R.I.P Kurt D.
