With this My eyes lay in their funeral beds A slumber akin to death Breathe me in I drift softly As a sheet dances with the wind Barely there and nearly gone Further from the great beyond Than I've ever dreamed And yet so close With lips To kiss Is there something amiss? Would I see it in your eyes? It's been so long I'm not surprised If I've forgotten all I knew Of yesterdays I cannot change The aftermath, rearrange New...

Take away these tears that fallThis waste of life of those so small The hurt that I can't help but feelIn disbelief, it seems surrealTwenty angels up to heavenBarely knew a life they're living Happiness they'll never seeChristmas gifts under a tree His revenge, a selfish thought"They are now what I am not"Shut the doors and keep them lockedKeep them safe until he's stoppedTwenty angels up to heavenBarely knew a life they'...

Derive a sense of pleasure From such a frosty demeanorHow your words chill me to the boneFilled with false promisesAnd oft-dashed hopes I still remain, a sad refrain I wait in clouds overheadI caress the ground with my tearsI wonder why you love to humor meBefore you fleetFor greener grassesAnd sunnier skies You fascinate meAs badly as I'm treatedYou leave me wanting what I can never haveWhat may not brighten the grayish...

To flourish in hillsGreen and sereneWhere flowers and trees are free to bloom,Grow, multiply and existWithout the fear of ever being harvestedWhere tears fall from a saddened skyAnd moisten the groundTo welcome a new addition to paradise We needn't mourn the loss of another A sister or brother A wife or mother A friend or other A son or daughter A husband or dadWe should be glad they chose to visitAnd think of all the goo...

I don't deserve youYou are far too graciousTo gift me with your loveA warm embraceOn a chilly February morningWhen I least expected itThree years ago, now almost fourWe started off as friendsI arrived as frigid as a winter's dayWith a coat of painted iceIt took long to dry the coatThough I remained frozenFor quite a while afterwardsMy mind was elsewhereDreaming up tales of adventureOf having seen the unseen a world awayTh...

Mind is a mazeTwist after turnLife is a gameLive it, you'll learnThere are rules tooBreak them, you'll seeListen, you'll hearWords that I speakDays in my lifeSaw and I've seenSeasoned with strifeMorning dew's sheenBlades of cut grassAnd summer's heatMe, seeing youAlways a treatTwo hearts would beatTwo hands would holdTwo lives would leadFrom young to oldNever a bridgeWe wouldn't crossI can't forgetMy suffered loss

You'll find someone better than I dare to dream up in my rambling thoughts of grandeur Persuaded and blinded to reason by the slightest suggestion that you like me for who I truly am When I show what lies beneath this cold facade I am shunned and rightly so Or so you think in your belief that something is wrong intrinsically You don't have  it in you to  expend the effort it would take  to mend this broken heart

If only I knew then what I know now, I'd be a different manBut sometimes a man's emotions get in the way of things,of feelings,of making memories that will last a lifetime,Though every moment is not guaranteed to us.That is why we need to do what we canwith what little time we're each allotted.We have to pretend that every day, every hour, and every minute is our last.We need to tell those that we love that we do,and not...

To thisAnd to what my heart longs forI strive to assemble some semblance of emotionSo I might resemble those identical individualsAnd shine with a smile of my ownTo set me apart from the restAnd wake me from this dreamThe very same glass house I wish I could shatterAnd feel the shards cut away my fleshAs I stand gazing upward to the heavensStars aboveI'm praying for your loveThe coldness of space and tears I knowWill neve...

I was a part of them and yet I wasn't A friend, a convenience, an occasional invited guestOr so it seemsA part of the world I'm surveyingFrom far above it, in spaceSwimming through the embryonic sacOf another discovered wormholeCursed to cycle in a circular motionLike waves to the coasts, on the beach, near the ocean Or so it seemsA beast most would wish not to burden themselves withIn whispers they say that I'm wrong to...

What soothing peace Overflows Like the current of an ocean Along a slender slope To swim against the tide And further upstream Where everything is burgundy Rivers run deeper Than the veins of an arm There's no cause for alarm No need to explain Two eyes to see All this melancholy Among the splendor Of a crystalline land Where pain is numbed By the thought of maybe What used to bring comfort Intensifies the envy

Wondrous how sweetly divine Lips to kiss my pain away and the faint press of your chest against my own silences the sadness How "more than I deserve" than I ever thought I couldn't How easy now to fall again Another girl that is a friend Leave my heart again to mend But wait, for what? Nary a guess? Another stab at happiness To bring about a final end With no one left who I depend On to excite me, and invite me Out from i...

I might have dreamed a thousand timesJust how I'd say what's on my mindI've yet to be the things I've beenI searched love's seasI've played to winThe happinessThat once was trueWithin my heartBecause of youTurned into tearsI cried and weptRekindled fearsI barely sleptI knew it allI told you soNow how else willOur garden grow?And where can IFind the desireTo soldier onWithout love's fire?

It was a wonder how any of us survived. Speaking from the scene of the wreck, I, a lowly traveler along with my fellow passengers lay scattered along the roadside on Route 42 to Elmsworth.Being one of five survivors proved to be quite a task. First, I made sure all of our wounds were sutured. Each person was able to walk and the city wasn't far. Jamie stayed beside me through the entire journey along the well traveled des...

Under blankets of stars I sleep a slumber deepDrenched in the dewy sheen of space I swim through its amniotic lullabyWhat a way to go Usefully futileAnother cog in Earth's machine I wait to be recycled To drown every care in the world Beneath the crashing waves of forever
