where this cruel machine ends

Where This Cruel
 Machine Ends.

_______________

Someone point me

down The Line

to Where this Cruel

Machine Ends.

I've said goodbye 

so many times..

(I'm starting to

Believe it.)

__

Fairy tales, 

and Old Cliches 

have lost their

sense of Meaning..

Aside from Hell,

and Masquerades!,

(with Puppets Dead
or Dreaming.)

__

Someone tell me

it's O.K. to Cry

for what is Lost..

that Tears of Men

are Acts of Strength.

(and Love has

Paid The Cost.)

_

Or say to Me

"You're not

Insane,..I too

have felt like

that."

Then Bite 

your Tongue

and Look

away.

(So I won't Hear

you Laugh.)

__

Someone tell

Me this is Real,

and Angels could 

still win...

that

Life is more 

than Pain to Feel.

(with Nothing

to Believe In.)

__

Someone point

me Down A

path which leads

to Better Places..

For I've sought 
Out

Heaven Half My

Life!

(yet Drown 

in

Devil Faces.)
