Before Darkness Falls

I remember sunny days
That seared away my embedded pains

For within those hours
Before darkness fell
And I'd contour myself
Into this shell

I would fondle with life
As I knew it to be
Taking in completely
Her immaculent beauty
Owning again the joy that was missing

Beautiful lie I am
Deceiving myself with scam

Am I to think happiness I'd behold
When once more my dignity
I released and sold

Please I beseech, before darkness falls
And I'm alone with distressing thoughts

When an instant will come upon the night
When I have freed my eyes from their sight

Rescue me from all that I shy
Darkness falls but I shall not die

The Scientist

My mistakes have become your scientific study
You examine my breakdown and
Invisible parts to prove that I am nothing

You are perplexed at how my substance
Could formulate this transcendent mold
In a state of your confusion
As you try to decipher my code

Well you famed scientist
Its not for you my fragments to contemplate
Or my errors proceed to rate

You have claimed me as your project
On display for all to see
Under a microscope all my imperfections
But still you can't figure me

I am an abstraction on a colored canvas
What you see is not what is
So I'd say to you oh scientist
Become a painter
Perhaps redeem the theory you've missed
