The Shopping Cart
It was a cart once made for shopping
Now lost and long forgoten
It was a cart once silver and shiny
Now old, disgusting and grimy
She found it there in an unused lot
It was exactly what she had sought
In it she placed her worldly belongings
Including her hopes, her dreams, and longings
She took it with her wherever she went
Hours organizing it where spent
Not one thing about that cart was inept
She knew every scrap of paper, and were it was kept
There was room for her clothes, she had very few
Far less...

Midnight Run
Under the soft white glare of the moon
I watched you saunter out of my door, my life, to soon
The memories of you linger like your cologne
That helps mask the feeling of you being gone, me alone
I roam the house hearing your laughter
I miss our playful banter
If only you would have stayed with me that night
But only the moon seen that tragic sight
The black marks on the road is all that gives a testimony
The stars where the only witness to the ceremony
Of the Grim Reaper's touch
As your spirit he clutched
He...

Monster Land
When I was young a monster took my hand
Lead me off to monster land
When he was done he passed me off
All the monsters turned to me and scoffed
They shouted out in unison and glee, "this will never stop"
They threw me on thier block and chopped
They chipped away my innocents, replacing it with anguish
They took away my joy, leaving memories tarnished
They stole the light in my eyes, now all I see is gray
It took a few of them to make me see this way
Even though I ran so very far
I couldn't get away after all
They...

Cigarette Between Her Fingers
She was just sitting there cigarette between her fingers
The smoke curling up above her head, it lingered
She was just contemplating the universe, and her place in it
She felt like a round peg trying to be pushed into a square hole, she just didn't fit
She was far more beautiful than she knew and her spirit was a wonderful kind of wild
Her loving generosity was always reflected in her gorgeous smile
It was heart breaking that it was not flashed more often
But what else would you expect when all of her dreams had died and had all but been forgotten
...

Depression
Sometimes depression hits me like a ton of bricks
And when that happens the blood runs thick
I'm trying to find reasons for my life story to go on
Maybe this will be my final song
Think I'll just take the razor and bleed along
I'm tired of the darkness
This might be my catalyst

Rotted on the Vine
I have rotted on the vine
No one plucked me before I died
Now I'm just fermented fruit
I am feeling mighty minut
I guess it is now my time
Just feed me to the dirty swine
They will slurp me like expensive wine
I'll make them feel mighty fine
At lest then my flesh well have served a purpose
My carcass won't have been totally worthless

Star Dust
The atoms around me are exploding
My body is eroding
Every particle of me is floating
It's all in my DNA coding
Starting my ascent
This I will not circumvent
Now I'm out in outerspace
Up to the great fates
The vibrant colors around me swirl
I'm no longer a person, no longer a girl
I am particals, I am pieces, I am atoms
Floating around like a phantom
Ground down so much I am star dust
Pushed along by the cosmic gust
Destined to land in another galaxy
Far away from all the inhumanity

Your Emotional Hue
My days spent with you
Are colored with the softest emotional hue
All in varying shades of blue
Of the sweet sadness that is you
A beautiful face graced with tears of dew
With the fullest lips that trembled when the pain grew
Your raven hair perfectly askew
To much of life's depravity you knew
To peer into those dark brown eyes
To witness their pleading question why
To hear that sorrowful quite sigh
Knowing that was your silent wish to die
Made this icicle heart melt and cry
There was nothing I could hide from your...

Sun and Moon Too
I would trade all the stars above
Just to have another hug
The sun and moon too
For your "I love you"
I miss your smile, it cut through my sorrow
Your love made me want to see tomorrow
I miss your dark ocean blue eyes
They always seen through my disguise
I miss the way you'd hug me tight
When everything wasn't right
I miss your friendship most of all
When both of us were in a fall
That day my world went from gray to black
There's nothing I wouldn't do to have you back
But way to soon you was...
Just to have another hug
The sun and moon too
For your "I love you"
I miss your smile, it cut through my sorrow
Your love made me want to see tomorrow
I miss your dark ocean blue eyes
They always seen through my disguise
I miss the way you'd hug me tight
When everything wasn't right
I miss your friendship most of all
When both of us were in a fall
That day my world went from gray to black
There's nothing I wouldn't do to have you back

The Monkey (revised)
Monkey's awake
Crawling on in
Just under the skin
He start to rake
Throw the switch
Hands start shaking
Feel the quaking
A growing itch
Self control wanes
He always wins
Know how it ends
With me not sane

You're My Book
I can't catch my breath
I can't grasp your death
Living on without you
I simply don't want to do
I can't stop the pain
I can't stop the rain
Pouring from my eyes
Every heart beat is a sigh
I can't stop the grief
I can't stop the disbelief
You're everywhere I look
You're not a chapter you're my book

Smoke in the Air
There's smoke in the air
It's everywhere
There's smoke in my lungs
My breath it expunged
There's smoke in my eyes
Making me cry
There's smoke in my life
Cutting like a knife
I sit and watch the fire
Burning up all I desire
I watch the wind blow
The memories that flow
Unable to stop the burn
Even with all I've learned
On all my life experiences I choke
Only in darkness is my name spoke
Nothing now but a whiff of smoke
It's everywhere
There's smoke in my lungs
My breath it expunged
There's smoke in my eyes
Making me cry
There's smoke in my life
Cutting like a knife
I sit and watch the fire
Burning up all I desire
I watch the wind blow
The memories that flow
Unable to stop the burn
Even with all I've learned
On all my life experiences I choke
Only in darkness is my name spoke
Nothing now but a whiff of smoke
