Puppet
Life is a play
Each of us a puppet
Guided by the world
We do as told
Some are favoured
Many are discarded
What lies in store for us?
May we go against our predetermined path?
Or will we continue on as usual?
Whether you fight or fit in
In the end, all that will remain is
Dust.
Each of us a puppet

Or will we continue on as usual?

In the end, all that will remain is
Dust.

"I'm proud of you, Son"
In the end
I want to be able to hold their hand
as they drift away
And tell them all that I've done
For them to look up at me and say
"I'm proud of you, Son."
I want to be able to hold their hand
as they drift away
And tell them all that I've done
For them to look up at me and say
"I'm proud of you, Son."

God's Love
Made in his image
What is there to fear?
His blessing far stronger
Than any sin can bare
We may stray
and we may fall
But He is there
Watching over us all
Guiding us
Giving us choices
God is not Wrath
Though he hath fury
He does not want you to suffer
There is always a light
He will always show you
what is right
Embrace his love
Forgive your foes
Do not mourn your woes
What is there to fear?
His blessing far stronger
Than any sin can bare
We may stray
and we may fall
But He is there
Watching over us all
Guiding us
Giving us choices
God is not Wrath
Though he hath fury
He does not want you to suffer
There is always a light
He will always show you
what is right
Embrace his love
Forgive your foes
Do not mourn your woes

back
The voices are back
Strong as can be
I am helpless to flee
Such grit and will
I no longer possess
I am in a lot of distress
Take this
Take that
Making me eat it
Like it's tictacs
I'm dizzy and muddled
My mind is befuddled
Strong as can be
I am helpless to flee
Such grit and will
I no longer possess
I am in a lot of distress
Take this
Take that
Making me eat it
Like it's tictacs
I'm dizzy and muddled
My mind is befuddled

Thank You Petunia
Was it all a dream?
everything in my head?
were your words all lies?
every gentle whisper
each sweet nothing
who's to say?
You boosted my ego when I was low
I gave it my all
was aiming for forever
but you let that slip away
all I can say is
Thank you for
dragging me out of that abyss
without you there would be none of this
No confidence
No happiness
No motivation
I'd be lyin' around
whining about my life
but not changin' it
now everyday I can smile
even without you
everything in my head?
were your words all lies?
every gentle whisper
each sweet nothing
who's to say?
You boosted my ego when I was low
I gave it my all
was aiming for forever
but you let that slip away
all I can say is
Thank you for
dragging me out of that abyss
without you there would be none of this
No confidence
No happiness
No motivation
I'd be lyin' around
whining about my life
but not changin' it
now everyday I can smile
even without you

I'm sorry I'm selfish
I've laid my biggest problem bare
You say you don't care
That it changes not a thing in your eyes
That even though it isn't something you desire
You're still willing to be mine
You have helped me every step of the way
Since the day that we started talking
It's selfish of me
To want you to be my solution
But I can't help it
You're the only one that can solve it
Nothing else has seemed to work
Only you
It makes me feel guilty
Putting all of this on you
My mind flinging doubts
Targeting you ...
You say you don't care
That it changes not a thing in your eyes

You're still willing to be mine

Since the day that we started talking

To want you to be my solution
But I can't help it
You're the only one that can solve it
Nothing else has seemed to work
Only you
It makes me feel guilty
Putting all of this on you
My mind flinging doubts
Targeting you ...

Love to last?
I endeavour to quench this thirst.
Morose and downtrodden when alone.
Something about her sets my heart apace.
After much consideration,
I decided that
The schism that separates us,
Cannot stop the love
That gently we shall yearn.
To unite at summers peak,
And yearn we shall again,
Once it begins its decline.
Never such genuine feelings have I felt.
Beautiful and loving.
Gentle and soft.
Wouldn't it be amazing for such love to last?
I believe and hope that it shall!

My Loving Petunia <3
Such gentle, beautiful actions
Lovely, luxurious hair
Swaying gently in my dreams
Soft and sweet
Sweeping my worries away
I feel doubt and insecurity
With a simple sentence
She washes them away each time
I know the fear is unfounded
But I fear it is all a dream
That it shall shatter with a simple touch
Yet something tells me that nothing can break this bond
Something deep inside says that we can last
We can last till each draws their last breath.

Love
Such deep and dark emotions
swirling in my chest
Like a ray of light
she pierces through the darkness
Lips full and luscious
Hair long and gorgeous
Smile like a warm summers day
Her voice makes me quiver
Sweet and loving
Tender and gentle
Never have I felt such love
Never have I wanted to stay with someone
Never have I wanted anothers happiness over my own
swirling in my chest
Like a ray of light
she pierces through the darkness
Lips full and luscious
Hair long and gorgeous
Smile like a warm summers day
Her voice makes me quiver
Sweet and loving
Tender and gentle
Never have I felt such love
Never have I wanted to stay with someone
Never have I wanted anothers happiness over my own

Happiness?
I got a feelin
buildin in my chest
different from my anger
it's been suppressed
A joy born from another
Tearing my anger asunder
Here's to hoping
that this feeling never goes away
and that she's here to stay
buildin in my chest
different from my anger
it's been suppressed
A joy born from another
Tearing my anger asunder
Here's to hoping
that this feeling never goes away
and that she's here to stay

Finally again?
Mind despairing
Body numb
Hands shaking
Eyes blurring
Teeth grinding
Each breath a struggle
First time in so many years
I thought it impossible
To have an emotion overwhelm me so
Body numb
Hands shaking
Eyes blurring
Teeth grinding
Each breath a struggle
First time in so many years
I thought it impossible
To have an emotion overwhelm me so

Something's there?
Footsteps softly creeping
Breath gently tingling
Neck slightly warmed
Eyes drooped
Vision waning
Conscious fading...
