"Breaking and Entering", October 30th, 2008

The shockwaves it set off left cracks in the floor,
I'm tripping over them as I stumble to the door,
Falling on my face while looking for something more,
Without even knowing what that doorway has in store,
The black lights turn on showing the fingerprints on the scene,
No matter how much I scrub away the stains, they're never clean,
What I once believed was red has now become green,
The damage they left behind is worse than what I've ever seen,
Broken down door crashes as it falls,
Can't wash the blame off the mud-stained floors and walls,
Trying to rest in a bed that's been torn apart,
Need to rebuild but I don't know where to start.

"Recovery Road" October 9th, 2008

Recovery's become a mountain, comprised completely of only shale,
Rising at such an angle, it's near impossible to scale,
Racing against the clock, while the world pressures you to wait,
Although you know the summit is the only remaining escape,
From those who clutch and grab at you, try to hold you back,
Running from their raging fire which turns all it touches black,
You spend each second climbing, but you don't know what's at the top,
All you know is you'll become their prey if you decide to stop,
You reach the summit only to find it's the first of an endless range,
Looking at the ground in front, you see the surface change,
As well as footsteps from those who've taken this journey prior,
Still visible in the distance are their figures climbing higher,
At the end of this rocky path is the happiness you desire,
But now is time to rest, you've escaped that frenzied fire,
This road, slick and dangerous, is better faced with two,
Not a one who went alone has ever made it through,
So here is the place to rest, and sleep secure tonight,
The one you're meant to travel with will come when the time is right.
