A Lover's Moment

The tears fall free
On trembling lips
She feels him slipping
Through her fingertips

Etched in glass
Words full of sorrow
Hold no hope
For an empty tomorrow

The flame inside
Her tainted heart
Flickers dimly
As they break apart

A lover's moment
Gone much too fast
His kiss, just a memory
A thing of the past


Alone

Alone with her thoughts
She seeks for a way
To make it alright
And get through the day

Broken inside
She tries to deny
Everything she feels
And that she doesn't cry

Pretends that it's fine
To be treated this way
She looks for an excuse
To make it okay

Hurting inside
But not letting it show
Tears fall from her eyes
That have no place to go

Alone with her thoughts
She seeks for a way
To make it alright
And get through the day


Angel

Angel of peace
I crave for your touch
I'm broken and bleeding
And in need of so much

Angel of sorrow
There's so much to say
I never knew it could
End up this way

Angel of mercy
I'm so tired of it all
I'm ready to give up
I'm ready for the fall

Angel of darkness
Go far from this heart
You're wicked and ruthless
And you tear me apart


Barely

Barely a whisper swept
Away on a breeze
Pushing against reality
Dropping to their knees

Barely a somebody whose
Time ended way too soon
Leaning into the wind
Her soul reflected in the moon

Barely fit in the palm of her
Daddy's weathered hand
They close their eyes trying
Desperately to understand

Barely had a moment
To cradle her tiny form
Kiss away her pain and
Keep her safe and warm


Beautiful Dreamer

Beautiful dreamer
So misunderstood
Wanders the forest
In her cloak and her hood

Silently crying
For all that she's lost
She denies all she feels
No matter the cost

Broken and shattered
She flees from the truth
Shaking and trembling
And hiding the proof

Tears, like a river
Flow from her eyes
As she hides behind
Her only disguise

Beautiful dreamer
So young and uncertain
Tries to pretend
That she's not really hurting


Book of Sorrow

Shattered pieces of
A broken soul
Litter a body
That once was whole

Empty now with
No place to turn
The fire rages
As the pages burn

Book of sorrow
Anger and tears
Lost in the flames
Of her undying fears

The final chapter
No more to be said
Swallowed by the fire
She's better off dead


Cannot See

Hide yourself away
Pretend you cannot see
The pain that's in their eyes
And what it means to be

Unaccepted by a world
That's too afraid to see
That we are only human
It's all we're meant to be

Turn your head away
Act like you cannot see
The hurt that's in their eyes
And what it means to be

Denied by a world
To blind to see the truth
Instead they hide away
And ignore the obvious proof

Pass them on the street
Pretend they are not real
It's easier to walk on by
Than to realize that they feel

Torment from a world
That turns their head away
Ignores them as they cry
And goes on with their day


Cradle Me

Cradle me gently
In the palm of your hand
Don't hold me too tightly
It's more than I can stand

Wipe the tears
That creep down my face
Cradle me gently
In your warm embrace

I might break and turn
To dust in your hand
Don't try to figure out why
Don't try and understand

Don't tell me my fears
Aren't all that they seem
That I'm not living
In a shattered dream


Crimson Cage

Bend me, but please don't break me
Love me, but not too much
Hold me, but not so tightly
For I can't stand to touch
The person that I love
And have to watch walk away
There's nothing that I can do
To make it so you stay

Teach me, how to be patient
Tell me, what to do
Show me, how to live
In a world without you
I walk this life alone
A young and broken sage
My heart beats behind the door
Of it's rusty crimson cage


Don't Let Me

Don't let me push you away
No matter how hard I try
Don't let my world fade to black
While I fight, pretend and deny

Don't let me drown in tears
That I cannot control
Don't let me fall through cracks
Because it feels so easy to just let go

Don't let me hide myself behind
A wall that no one can see
Don't let me dwell on the past
That's not who I want to be

Don't let me fault myself
Or continue to feel this shame
Please let me remember
That I wasn't the one...
...To blame


Let Her Go

Troubled eyes seek a way
To find a light to a better day
A broken heart heals so slow
Tears that have no place to go

His wounded soul is on it's knees
Begging for some sort of release
Searching for some way to heal
The pain is deep and so unreal

Afraid to face the hidden proof
He tries to deny the obvious truth
It haunts his mind so deep inside
He searches for a place to hide

"Let me be" he screams and cries
As he fights the truth he tries and denies
For her it ended a long time ago
But he just can't seem to let her go


Little Girl Lost

Little girl lost
In the shadows of her mind
Seeking for the release
That she may never find

Little girl full
Of pain she cannot show
Tears fill her eyes
But have nowhere to go

Little girl trapped
In a world they cannot see
Longing for that someone
Who can finally set her free


Memoirs Of An Unrequited Life

The pen flies across the paper
As she struggles to find a way
To express the feelings she fights with
At least once or twice a day

Worlds all jumbled together
On a page made of tears
That escaped one night so long ago
And built up over the years

A sentence full of hurt
A verse full of sorrow
A poem filled with emptiness
And no hope for tomorrow

A book of haunting words
Tell the story of her pain
Of how one day she broke down
And went quietly insane


Save Me

Save me from these demons
That haunt my mind so deep
And try to reveal the secrets
That I try so hard to keep

Save me from the echo
Of voices I can't stand to hear
They whisper softly in my head
And resurrect my fear

Save me from myself
For only I hold the keys
To a lifetime of choices
And the painful memories

Save from the future
Protect me from my past
Help me escape the present
I don't want this pain to last

Save me from the guilt
That makes me feel so unsure
Help me to forget
That I couldn't save... her


She

She stares at her reflection
In the cracked and dusty mirror
She traces the lines in her face
And sheds a broken tear
A lifetime of memories
Shine bright inside her eyes
The hope she held for her children
The torn and hollow lies
She reaches out her hand
And touches the image she sees
Wishing for a way to go back
And cure this old disease
She can't help but wonder
What good her life has been
Did she make a difference
Or would she have to begin again
Did she teach her children
All she had to give
After she had gone away
Would they know how to live


Beautiful You

I fell in line
With one single step
And I denied
That I ever wept

I was torn away
From the person I knew
When I got caught up
In beautiful you

Was forgotten, undone
With a single teardrop
But, now that we're here
I don't want it to stop

I lost myself
In the blink of an eye
And followed the road
That led to the sky


End With You

If I told you I was afraid
Would you think I was weak
If I told you I couldn't have stayed
Would you hear me speak

If time ran out tomorrow
Would you understand my fears
If you had to remember my sorrow
Would you forget my tears

If everything you knew
Suddenly became a shattered memory
Would you know what to do
To pull yourself out of misery

If the world ended today
Would you forgive me for what I had to do
Because I could not stay
To watch it end with you


The Hangman's Despair

Tethered and torn
On the old tree he hangs
A lifetime of regrets
Leave their mark on his face

Whipped by despair
Broken by his fears
There's no one around now
To catch his lonely tears

Scarred and alone
He says his goodbyes
To the world he once knew
As he softly cries

With a rope around his neck
He makes the sacrifice
Jumps to his death
And takes his own life
