Portrait Of Sorrow
As you were
Painting me
The colors of
My happiness
Bleed
Into sadness
Renaming my
Portrait To Sorrow

Victim Of Your Own Kindness
There are some people who
Are very nice and sweet
And there are some people
Who can't stand the happiness
Of others
Then there are some people
Who will simply just tear
Your heart right from your chest
With a big smile while your
Bloody heart still beats
In the clutches of their hands
Watching you collapse
To the ground struggling
For a breath to ask them
"Why"?
"Why me"?
Little did know
It never was about you
To begin with
While you were thinking
You two were good
They were...
Are very nice and sweet
And there are some people
Who can't stand the happiness
Of others
Then there are some people
Who will simply just tear
Your heart right from your chest
With a big smile while your
Bloody heart still beats
In the clutches of their hands
Watching you collapse
To the ground struggling
For a breath to ask them
"Why"?
"Why me"?
Little did know
It never was about you
To begin with
While you were thinking
You two were good
They were...

We Can’t Cover Our Ears Forever
We can't cover our
Own ears forever...
There are many
Reasons and a
Number of things
That can weigh
On our hearts
Some of us may
Be able to get over it
Quickly and easier
Than others
Some of us seem
To have a tendency
To bury the pain
And go about our business
After a while
We will find ourselves
Forcing a smile
So no one will see
How terribly hurt
We are inside
Sometimes we feel the tears
Burning our eyes
Then quickly pull
Ourselves together
Because we...
Own ears forever...

Weeping Moon
No one but
The lonely souls
Hear the
Weeping moon
On this quiet
Darkened night
She’s alone
With the
Voiceless sound
Of her thoughts
Drowning within
The silent echos of
The bleeding stars
Her days
Are exhausted
Her nights
Are a colorless
Abyss of emptiness
She roams
In search for
The light

Time
It'll take time
To fly again
To penetrate
Through the diminsions
In everything
That was
Restricting you
Your wings
Will be regrown again
This time more
Enhanced
Tenacious
And broader
Than before
You'll have your
Life back again
After your
Rebirth from
Your suffering
To live a
Favorable
Exhilarating
And serene life

My Moment To Be Me
I don’t want
My feelings on
Chains tonight
I want to be free
My heart dances
To the melody
Of the mood
Allow me to smile
While my fingers
Play with the
Lonely air
Hushing my
Chaotic thoughts
Interfering with
My moment
To be me

Wreckage From Lifes Storm
Soaked by her blood
Through the Darkness she crawls
Riddled with wounds
Not everyone saw
Battered and beaten
Bearing burdens
Of life
Her scars were
Her medals
She wore with pride
Her stare
Became hard
With coldness
In her eyes
She stands firm
In her ground
While her father
Passes judgment
From his mind
No one has ever
Walked in her shoes
Nor do they
Know her life story
Of her successes
Struggles and
The savage abuse
Rich in abundance
Of health she ...

Attitude And Ego
Attitude and ego
Always hiding behind a facad.
Why has hatred became so cool?
When did respect get thrown out?
We all have our hangups.
And our choices of lifestyles
Can we not appreciate what another is passionate about?
Let go of the attitude
Your no better than I
Or how you appear in someone else's eyes
Your actions speak
What's in your heart
What do you for others?
How do you treat your son or daughter?
How do you treat your home?
There's more to life
Than your selfish deeds
Your too busy acting some...

Quiet She Is
Quiet she is, yes
Have you looked
At her eyes?
Beyond their beauty
Are faded dreams
Unwritten books
Unplayed songs
Moments she lived
And some moments
She wishes
She never saw
Quiet she is, yes
Have you seen
Her smile?
Beyond the
Boundaries of her lips
Are stories untold
Words she hasn't
Spoke
A quivering voice
Seizing her pleas
Yet we never hear
Her piercing screams
Quiet she is, yes
Well composed
Have you seen
Her cry?
Beyond her tears ...

Evilness Lingers
Evilness lingers
within
Darkness of souls
As
The wicked stirs
A delightful dish
Keeping their
Hatred and lies
Well fed
As it were
Normal part of life
Everyone’s darkness lives within
Unseen to some
Their evilness
Some in
Plain view
When looked
In their eyes
Little aware
Of their own demise
The more they feast
Their evilness grows
Some control it
Some let it go
Some feed it
Some just don’t know
Having no clue
The tables will turn
Reverse of roles ...

Forsaken Heart
You've demonstrated
Your best attempts
Keeping everything
Hidden underneath
The morain of
Your hatefulness
Admidst the foes
You thought were friends
You spoke
Dispickable lies
Slanderous speech
Ripping me to shreds
All that remains of me
A darkened shadow
Residue of a broken soul
Forsaken heart
You buried alive
Eracing me
Into nothingness
Your bruised memory
Of me
Will become a lingering burden
Like a vengeful spirit
Of the dead
Eating at your soul
Haunting your life...
