I am the Plague
I am the plague, a ghostly vapor
My soul bleeds blackness on the paper
If you're looking for a happy write
Don't read mine you won't get that sight
What you'll see is a glimpse of a spirit in total darkness
You'll learn just what the cost is
As a child thrown to the brink
And time and time again I sink
Like the platypus, I'm Gods little joke
Again and again I choke
On all the cruelty throughout the years thrown on me
No one hangs around to truly see
Beneath the scars I'm only human
Despite the blackness and confusion
My soul cries out...

Little Girl's Life
There was a little girl plunged into the dark
The future for her was very stark
She never knew unconditional love
For her it was always push and shove
It was no surprise
She picked a man that was good with lies
With that choice her darkness increased
Beaten and caged, no release
She finally broke lose with young intow
Everything seemed so out of control
She finished raising her brood
All alone she stood
Protecting them from all the men
And all their sin
Or so she thought, but evil raised it's head from within
Her mom had...

I watched as You Wept
I got your lovely flowers today
I watched as you knelt and swept the leaves away
I watched you cry as you laid them down
You stayed knelt there on the ground
For awail your soft crying was the only sound
Then you started talking, telling me you was sorry
But I didn't need your apology
I understood you couldn't come around more often
I loved when you found the time to stop in
It's ok we didn't spend more time togeather, life got in the way
I still love you even now, today
Don't want your tears
I know the future you fear
You think...

I Want to Follow You
I want to lie down with you
I want to die too
I don't want to fight in this world without you by my side
I'll I can do is cry
I try to hold the agony within
So no one else can see, so it won't offend
So they won't worry, so they don't know
Just how badly with you I want to go
But tiny agonizing whimpers escape between my lips
I don't know how much longer I can man this woeful ship
There is a hurricane in my ocean
Turbulent thoughts plunder my emotions
I can feel the sinking
I can not stop the thinking

Memories of You
Father Time is pushing me along
But I don't want to go on
For every step that I take
Every tick the clock makes
Takes the memories farther away
I fear for the day
When time does it's shading
To my memories it will do it's raiding
I don't want to forget your smell, or how your arms felt, when you hugged me tight
I don't want to forget your voice, when you consoled me in the middle of the night
I don't want to forget your face, or those beautiful blue eyes
I don't want to forget all you said that was wise
I'll hold on to those...
But I don't want to go on

My Sweetest Friend
No kind of drug can help me escape this brutality
That is now my horrifying reality
There is no place I can hide or run
When life becomes the nightmare I want to wake from
My whole world has crumbled
Now desperately lost within the rubble
So thankful we always took the time to say "I love you"
Because before that branded day was through
The winds of change..... They blew
I found you, but you where already gone
Now I must learn how to say so long
You sprouted your wings and flew away
You left me here all alone to stay...
That is now my horrifying reality
There is no place I can hide or run
When life becomes the nightmare I want to wake from
My whole world has crumbled
Now desperately lost within the rubble
So thankful we always took the time to say "I love you"

The winds of change..... They blew
I found you, but you where already gone
Now I must learn how to say so long
You sprouted your wings and flew away

Feeding the Birds
I went to feed the birds today
I took a hike so very deep and long Birds chirped out my favorite song To hurry me along
I found the perfect place In this infinite universe of space
Twisted trees guard all around Thick green moss lay luscious on the ground
Beckons me with every sound
The sun can finnally warm these bones
With the flesh all stiped away
My life of constant sorrow Can simply fly away
I went to feed the birds today!
(must read carefully the last stanza to figure out what I was feeding the birds)

River of Time
The river of time keeps on flowing
I'm standing here in the knowing
All things will pass and fall away
As we flow from day to day
But the memories seem to remain
Be it happy ones, or the ones that torture our brain
Be it the rivers smooth ride
Or around the bend where rapids hide
To stay in the boat is the greatest challenge
For sometimes things become so unbalanced
Sometimes we are thrown overbord
Most of the time not of our own accord
As we try to keep our heads above the waves motion
Trying not to drown in all the heavy...

Witnesses of the Crow (my birthday poem)
Years ago......today was the day I died
Thrust it to this wicked world to survive
I don't no where I was before this life
But I'm sure it was sweeter than all this strife
Because on that day at the window seal sat the inky black Crow
To witness the birth of another dead soul
Thrust it to this wicked world to survive
I don't no where I was before this life
But I'm sure it was sweeter than all this strife
Because on that day at the window seal sat the inky black Crow
To witness the birth of another dead soul

You Introduced Me to Your Demon
You introduced me to your demon, it was the only way to save me
But you knew as beautiful as she was, her touch was beastly
Heroin was her sweet name
She came and saved me from the pain
She lead me back from the ledge
She made still the razors edge
You knew the dance that she could do
She had saved you too
She knew how to comfort the bereft
She knew how to take away, what the agony had left
You knew she could comfort in her darken cress
She knew how your soul to undress
You knew I would want her more
You knew leaving her was...
But you knew as beautiful as she was, her touch was beastly
Heroin was her sweet name
She came and saved me from the pain
She lead me back from the ledge
She made still the razors edge
You knew the dance that she could do
She had saved you too
She knew how to comfort the bereft
She knew how to take away, what the agony had left
You knew she could comfort in her darken cress
She knew how your soul to undress
You knew I would want her more

The Ritual of the Neddel and the Spoon (frontwards, backwards poem)
Please pass me the spoon
I need a hug from Jesus and I need it soon
My body needs to relax till it forgets to breath
Don't worry about the marks you can cover them with sleeves
A little pick and the pain will all fade away
Let me nod out, I'll deal with it another day
Let my mind get lost in the sway
It's the ritual of the needle and the spoon
It's the hug from Jesus that can't come to soon
I need a hug from Jesus and I need it soon
My body needs to relax till it forgets to breath
Don't worry about the marks you can cover them with sleeves
A little pick and the pain will all fade away
Let me nod out, I'll deal with it another day
Let my mind get lost in the sway
It's the ritual of the needle and the spoon
It's the hug from Jesus that can't come to soon

The Game I Play
So fucked up I'm just roaming
I don't even know what direction I'm going
Trying so desperately to hold on
But I'm feeling to much like a pawn
When these little pills call my name
Again I am reclaimed
It seems I may have took to many
My world is spinning
I'm trying to enjoy the ride
But I feel the slipping I feel the slide
My head is spinning, I can't walk
I close my eyes and welcome the dark
I'm watch my lifes slide show once again
I can see way I'm standing on the rim
Going down and I can't swim
So...
