COME RESCUE ME
Come rescue me, for somewhere in this madness I do dwell.
Reality from fantasy, no more I can not tell.
What life is this, when futures bright, my eyes no longer find,
I turn to fading memories that linger in my mind.
Come rescue me from yesteryear, and all my sins forgive,
Release my soul, and give me back the life I used to live.
Lost in isolation is the cross I now must bear,
Sorrow hid in smiles untrue, the face I have to wear.
Come rescue me, from all I am, and take me somewhere new.
Release me from this emptiness, with choices left so few....

Come rescue me, from all I am, and take me somewhere new.

WITH WORDS
You have taught me my weakness, in needing to trust,
You have shown me a future, then turned it to dust,
You can no longer hurt me, but try if you must,
With words, you have led me astray,
No more am I fooled by the things that you say
You still make up lies for the feelings you lack,
You can paint me a picture, that still fades to black,
You can say what you want, but you won't take it back,
With words you still try to decieve,
Your silence is welcomed, as I take my leave.
You opened my eyes as the truth did reveal,
The joy that...

FOREVER YOUNG
Lying at rest, on torn apart landscape,
A soldier's life comes to an end.
No more to be pained, or battle-bled weary,
No more heartfelt letters to send.
For all of his efforts, his courage, his fears,
Despite all that has gone before,
His role has been played in this theater of pain,
His time to fight is now no more.
A deafening silence, a darkness unknown,
Is all that does greet his demise,
Whilst hellfire and fury erupt all around,
As mortar shells rain from the skies.
There will be no service, no prayers said...

SECRETLY TOLD
I wait once again for this scene to begin,
Directed by feelings held somewhere within,
This heart of a saint fights the urges of sin,
It's all I can do, It's all I can do.
I try to keep step in this long distance walk,
The memory of hearing your voice as we talk,
The rain washes clean our two names in the chalk,
Forever brand new, forever brand new.
I stare at the light that is cast on my wall,
The shadows await, should my gaze start to fall,
The brightness you bring, helps me get through it all,
Your feelings so true, your feelings so...

EVERLASTING
We are all but mortal, as time does reveal,
So filled with illusion, from death do we steal.
Each lifetime a journey, begining to end,
Each caught in a lie that we try to defend.
A drop in the ocean, a blink of an eye,
No sooner a welcome, then kiss me goodbye.
My loves, my romances, my pains count for none,
Just sorrow and loss in the hearts I have won.
Yet years long from now, with my life out of time,
So much will be left in my writings and rhyme.
Emotions will stir, bring a smile or a tear,
My message and meanings abundantly clear....

TILL DEATH US DO PART
It's so nice to see you, I'm glad your not late,
Make haste and come do come step inside.
It's not always easy when meeting your fate,
Your right to live has been denied.
Bring forth your presence, along with your past,
Your history book is now read.
Each chapter so precious, from first through to last,
So meaningless once you are dead.
I take you from where you can no more belong,
Fear not what is yet soon to be,
These burdens of life you have carried too long,
It's time you are finally free.
Be righteous and proud with...

COME CLOSER..
Come closer and give me your soul that I own,
Come show me the light in your eyes,
Bring me your body, that time has outgrown,
Come meet your awaiting demise.
Come closer and bring me the will you still hold,
This warming that hails from each breath,
Soon to be lost to a corpse long since cold,
Inviting the sweet stench of death.
Come closer and cry as you beg for release,
A lifetime of dreams unfulfilled.
Your heartbeat adrift without purpose or point,
A heartbeat so soon to be stilled.
Come...

Don't Come Knocking At My Door
Don't come knocking at my door,
I'll answer not, for evermore,
Unlike so many times before,
Now only shadows cross the floor.
Last night the reaper called my name,
My final act, a crying shame,
With no-one but myself to blame,
In life or death, it's all the same.
Don't come knocking at my door,
I'll answer not, for evermore.

A Love Without Goodbyes
A lifetime filled with cheating hearts, all echo from my past.
The love so true's and I love you's, each one was meant to last.
So fine this line of sharing, built with honesty and trust.
Each vow now left inside my head, to slowly gather dust.
I struggle to tomorrow, searching hope, yet walking blind.
While broken dreams and silent screams play re-runs in my mind.
I try to shake each past mistake, and meet what lies ahead.
While hearing cold reminders of these promises once said.
It's hard to feel whats wrong from real when shadows dim the light....

TILL
What life is this, that leaves you hollow,
So sad this path you leave behind.
Each choice you make, so hard to swallow,
Each dream you chase, so hard to find.
Each breath you take, becomes a sin.
What once was beauty, turned to pain.
Embrace this hurt that dwells within,
You have to die, to live again.
Till all the fires in hell stop burning,
Till all the stars fall from the sky.
Till fingers on the clock stop turning,
Till all your moments pass you by.
Till every wish not heard, is spoken,
Till God creates this world anew.
When all...

Torn
I see your face, no longer seen;
Remember days, where love has been.
I try to wash this mind, unclean,
yet doing scares me so..
For trying to forget you, means I have to let you go.
I live a lie in yesteryear;
A thousand smiles for every tear.
For all I want is with me here,
Held not within my hand..
For deep inside I hold a love that few could understand.
Such suffering this heart does bleed,
Cold memories fulfill my need,
Thus chained by love, I'm never freed;
So tortured deep inside.
This harboring...
