Angela my Dear
Angela my dear,
The love of my life.
The Troubles and spoils
that we have shared throughout life
makes our love last.
Our love remains strong,
Our love remains deep.
Angela my dear.
A day has not passed that we have been apart,
My sweet Angela, who lives in my heart.
Like rain brings life to the ground,
Your love feeds my soul.
You make my world complete,
No other could ever compete.
Without you by my side,
I would have no reason to live,
You consume my days
You are the reason I live....
The love of my life.
The Troubles and spoils
that we have shared throughout life
makes our love last.
Our love remains strong,
Our love remains deep.
Angela my dear.
A day has not passed that we have been apart,
My sweet Angela, who lives in my heart.
Like rain brings life to the ground,
Your love feeds my soul.
You make my world complete,
No other could ever compete.
Without you by my side,
I would have no reason to live,
You consume my days
You are the reason I live....

My Natural Habitat
Here I am again
In my head
Spiraling down the rabbit hole I go
Worst case scenarios start to unfold
Heart rate increases
Palms sweat
The stomach starts to gurgle and cramp
Dizziness sets in
Can not shake the feeling
Can not escape
No hope
No future
Blood pressure begins to rise
Panic sets in
Here I am again
In my head
Spiraling down the rabbit hole I go
Worst case scenarios start to unfold
Heart rate increases
Palms sweat
The stomach starts to gurgle and cramp
Dizziness sets in
Can not shake the feeling
Can not escape
No hope
No future
Blood pressure begins to rise
Panic sets in
Here I am again

Mask
The mask Is on
To face the day
I must act in this play
To get through the day
In constant peril
My life is this
There has to be more
Than living like this
Rumination sets in
Don't come in
Don't come in
The day is gone
The mask comes off
I'm safe and sound
Free of fear
In my happy place
Am I in the clear?
Not so fast
My mind reminds
I'm still here
Welcome back fear
The heart rate rises
The hands shake
The knees become weak
I can't even speak
Panic sets in ...
To face the day
I must act in this play
To get through the day
In constant peril
My life is this
There has to be more
Than living like this
Rumination sets in
Don't come in
Don't come in
The day is gone
The mask comes off
I'm safe and sound
Free of fear
In my happy place
Am I in the clear?
Not so fast
My mind reminds
I'm still here
Welcome back fear
The heart rate rises
The hands shake
The knees become weak
I can't even speak
Panic sets in ...

Time is Gone
The house is full of laughter
Noises all around
Rush in rush out
Not enough time in the day
Honey do list, I'm on my way
The kids have grown
They are on their own
We are now on our own
Routine sets in
We enjoy our time
My soul mate has passed
I'm now all alone
Where has time gone
Once on top
With family all around
Where has time gone
My home is quiet
Not a sound to be heard
My old bones hurt
Where has time gone
I'm now all alone
...

Owned
Darkness in the mind
Desires of the flesh
I watch from afar
I listen with keen ears
I can control your mind
I can turn your heart cold
Your intentions mean nothing
You think you're good
You are my victim
Your soul is mine
I control your mind
No escape from my hold
No bargaining over your soul
It's too late now
I have a hold no man can break free
This is my time
You are no longer free
You belong to me
Desires of the flesh
I watch from afar
I listen with keen ears
I can control your mind
I can turn your heart cold
Your intentions mean nothing
You think you're good
You are my victim
Your soul is mine
I control your mind
No escape from my hold
No bargaining over your soul
It's too late now
I have a hold no man can break free
This is my time
You are no longer free
You belong to me

Soaked Sheets
Am I stuck in hell?
I cannot escape
All positive thoughts
quickly fade away
Nightmares emerge,
They feel so real
Make it stop
So I can feel
The trauma takes over
controlling my thoughts
Anxiety, panic, all settles in,
it never ends
My skin crawls with
every breath I take
Is this just PTSD,
or the new me
Awaken by sweat soaked
sheets yet again
The obsessive thoughts
never leave, are they just
a part of me?
The anxiety is crippling me
How do I escape
The moment passes for now, ...
I cannot escape
All positive thoughts
quickly fade away
Nightmares emerge,
They feel so real
Make it stop
So I can feel
The trauma takes over
controlling my thoughts
Anxiety, panic, all settles in,
it never ends
My skin crawls with
every breath I take
Is this just PTSD,
or the new me
Awaken by sweat soaked
sheets yet again
The obsessive thoughts
never leave, are they just
a part of me?
The anxiety is crippling me
How do I escape
The moment passes for now, ...

The End
Emotionless I feel
The thoughts they steal
No regrets I feel
No remorse can be found
The psychopathic traits
Have come on late
Is there time to heal?
Is there time to feel?
The end is near
Time gas gone
What does one now do
Forgive me love
The time has come
I will be caught
The end is near
The thoughts they steal
No regrets I feel
No remorse can be found
The psychopathic traits
Have come on late
Is there time to heal?
Is there time to feel?
The end is near
Time gas gone
What does one now do
Forgive me love
The time has come
I will be caught
The end is near

Nicotine
The struggle I feel
Is real
The battle within myself
is shame I feel
I've quit before for
nearly two years
Only to give in to
The devil within
Do I have the strength
to quit again
to restart the journey
that I began
One day at a time
is what they say
Stay the course
as you may
Throw the nicotine away
leave behind the old way
Is real
The battle within myself
is shame I feel
I've quit before for
nearly two years
Only to give in to
The devil within
Do I have the strength
to quit again
to restart the journey
that I began
One day at a time
is what they say
Stay the course
as you may
Throw the nicotine away
leave behind the old way

Derailed
I awake for the day
anxiety I do not feel
For a moment, the thoughts
are empty
Go for a walk, visit with friends,
be productive, enjoy the day
With coffee in hand,
I start to plan
A random thought appears,
making itself known
My mind starts to obsess,
pain in the chest
So it begins
down the spiral
I go
Heart rate rises,
fluttering chest begins
Dizziness takes hold,
it will pass I'm told
The edge of the bed
I begin to enter my head
...

The Debt is Paid
As I set in the metal chair in front of the window realizing everything has finally caught up with me. They will come for me. The only light in the room is that of a bent blind from the window overlooking an alley filled with trash.
Silence overtakes the room as the sound of slow steps from the hallway destract me from my thoughts. The steps are getting closer. Whoever it is, is wearing loud shoes. Amateurs! Crooked politicians and cover ups are going to get me killed.
The steps reach the door and stop. As the knob turns slowly, I take steady aim, ready for...
