It Couldn't Happen To Me
Homeless with ragged clothes
Living on the streets begging for food
It couldn't happen to me...
All the so called friends are gone
They vanished like your wealth
It couldn't happen to me...
The invaders took away your freedom
Raped your country as a whole
It couldn't happen to me...
Now alone and living on exile
Nothing left but sanity
It couldn't happen to me...
Now everything is gone,
what's the worth of living?
I would rather be in limbo
than in heaven without you.
It couldn't happen to me...
Just the thoughts of losing you
make me crazy like hell
For my old and weary soul
has finally found it's home
in the loving heart of yours!

Just the thoughts of losing you
make me crazy like hell
For my old and weary soul
has finally found it's home
in the loving heart of yours!
I never see the point in hugging, in kissing
I never thought that I could ever fall in love
it couldn't happen to me, I always thought
but here you are making my eyes burn
my heart burning like acid when you're around
I'm melting in your finger tips
-I'm in love, so deeply, it hurts
THE"C"WORD
Procrastination at it's finest.
God just ran out of patience,
and kicked my ass,breaking my leg in process.
Why were my bones so fragile?
The doctor told me cancer,
a cripple now,no time to cut my losses.
It couldn't happen to me.
Not this human being.
That's what I thought,but never will again.
Even if I wanted,
this pain remains still haunting,
and the next step is cutting off my leg.

and the next step is cutting off my leg.
The fist flies. Bam!
Straight into my abdomen.
Pain, white hot, like lightning
Again, again, again over and over
A rush of fluids break free
It couldn't happen to me.
Pain again, despair
It is.
There is the telltale sign.
The little lump of life
that would never really be,
But it couldnt happen to me.
The days they pass
in pain and blood
and no one will ever see.
They will just believe
It couldnt happen to me.

It could of happened to me, I didn't like to think so.
She said she couldn't leave me all alone.
She couldn't leave me on the phone.
She couldn't wipe my smile away.
She couldn't up and go away.
She told me she would never say,
those fatal words.. those fatal words that mean to say, she isn't coming back today.
It couldn't happen to me, could it?

It Couldn't Happen To Me
My heart skips a beat every time you look my way
I want to wake beside you every new day
When I look into your eyes I can see what's to come
The generations we'll create when we become one
I am drawn to you, forces beyond my control
For the first time in my life I'm aware of my soul
How can a stranger invade all my senses?
Leave me stripped bare, knock down all my fences
How did you do this?, what spell did you cast?
Were we once lovers in the lives of our past?
Now is the time for our future to start
Today is the day I offer you my heart
My heart pounding fast as it's words were spoken
As your lips touched mine I became unbroken
We are now one as I lay in your arms
Slumber entices, using it's charms
I resist for fear that this is a dream
Will I wake in the night, let out a harrowing scream?
Elusive true love, how can this be?
I've always thought " It couldn't happen to me".

Yes, ME
There was a deeply lodged confidence
in my declaration
once upon a time
When I said I'll never be like that
the cynical, jaded kind
Then life wrenched my guts
kicked me continuously
after I was dead
Gave me the ugly truths
plucked out the roots
of all I'd said
When I question a motive
an allegiance or a story
Compared to the rest
I have no glory
I became one
against every drop of will
Now pessimism is ignorant
and realism kills
Terrific poem...could identify with it.....

IT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME
When I was young and healthy
I could walk all day
Walked from St.Urbain St. to Guy
I did not walk, I could fly
Going up and down
Mount Royal's hilly terrain
Was nothing for me then
Running from one class on Sherbrooke
To the next class on Pine
Got there with full energy
Made it to class on time
Could go without sleep
Party all night
Wrote test next day
Did all right
My mother was high energy
Could walk into her 80s
Thought I would take after her
Fate was so unkind
Chronic fatigue was my undoing
I thought it couldn't happen to me
Believed it would never happen to me
So fit, so healthy, so full of energy
Life is what happens
While you are making other plans.
