			<title>Alone</title>
			<description>Reaching out of the darkness to find hands, but they are falling, falling.You pull them up and push them out of the dark, falling further in, falling.Another hand and you pull and push, the darkness becomes your home, falling.Breathing in you feel the darkness fill your lungs, you carry it within yo..</description>

			<title>I should have run away</title>
			<description>Fear gripped my soul from the sight of you. My hacklesraised high every time you flittered by. Hypervigilant and guarded to the meresight of you. My chest burned with light. A light suffocated in fear. Grippingmy light so tightly I stood my ground. Again and again you passed by me and I turned..</description>

			<title>In the void</title>
			<description>Curled up in the void I found you. Your angelic light wasdim, but so beautiful. I tried to sing to you in the darkness, to let my voicepierce the void. For a time you unfurled, you graced me with your light. Allthings come to an end, I danced the fools tune to my pain, my fear, my grief.In t..</description>

			<description>A fleeting joy.A broken sorrow.Today I enjoy.But gone tomorrow.As you depart.And return to darkCarry my heart.As my final remark.In that void.I hope my light.Helps you avoid.Giving up a fight.When hope is gone.Just hear this song.And await the dawn..</description>

			<title>Fade Away</title>
			<description>I know my words won't reach you but I'll continue to scream into the void of your pain. I scream till my voice becomes hoarse from the coarse words of love meeting pain and grating against it like sandpaper. As the pain begins to meet the grain my bits and pieces fall away slowly into your empty voi..</description>

			<title>Unseen Spaces</title>
			<description>Have you ever danced with death? Played with it's gnawing edges?Felt it's tension crawling up your spine? Well I have.I dance with it every day. Chaos, madness, and insanity always at the periphery.Every dance needs an audience after all. And so I embrace it.I am the space for death of identities. S..</description>

			<title>Darkness</title>
			<description>Little urges enter my reality, easy solutions to complex problems.I pick it up and consider, my grip firm with determination.I consider for a moment the consequences.The darkness dawns on me as though the first light of morning.A simple path arises and the weight of my history loosens for the first ..</description>

			<title>What is love?</title>

			<title>Black and White</title>
			<description>When you read between the lines and see what's left unsaid, you lose your ability to speak.Ere the people will riot, what a mockery you see for you are blind to what's before your eyes.So you see between the lines and hold a vow a silence to avoid the doubting gaze.Black blood coursing below t..</description>
