Cursed
There's no recognition in one day to the next,
I have failed to turn over, the ignition is Rkd
Sometimes I wonder how I've kept faith in love
If I threw a number-then 6 would come up
Maybe in 3's, maybe in time, maybe disease is the cause of my life
Maybe I'm cursed
Maybe I'm blind
You do not deserve to be tarred with my crimes
I'm sick of the swerving and crossing the line
I wish all your hurting was soulfully mine
I glide then I simmer, I slide side to side
A backward step bigger than forward, I've tried!
Sometimes I act as...

Shit scared of love
I'm shit scared of love and the pain it keeps bringing.
I'd rather choose bruises and have a good fucking kicking
Than be choked by hope, knowing I'm the dope who thought I'd be the one to change him.
Pass me a rope, my heart is braking.
How will I cope while my insides are caving.

Lost
And so it was, that she was lost within a place she knew of well.
How can it be, this rusted lock, this free young celtic warrior's not at fault because she can not help it, welded solid, key to rock,
Derelict she hears you knock,
No ones home though the lights are on,
She could not tell if it would stop, of when she fell or who she was, of
What she stood for, what it cost,
or if she ever could now she'd forgot.
And so it was, that she was lost within a place she knew of well.
The inside hollow, the outside on auto, the sin dies within once she gave in to...

The race against the wind
The race against the wind is a passage closing in,
The road is long and narrow with no space to stretch your wings,
The pace is fast and harrowing,
earth speeding up, gale force cause of spinning,
Out of control,
rip curl and roll,
The rain comes like coal, dark sky's unfold and stinging my skin,
a million arrows, the archers are firing,
set alight to burn in flight and lightning scorch the battered night,
as if far planets were exploding,
colliding like war heads into the mountains,
thunder sounds one thousand lions are Roaring.
The tiresome...

To Mum and Dad
I know I spilt my coffee every time I climbed the stairs,
I know there was no sorry when I finished in the bathroom and I'd flooded everywhere,
I know there was no thank you for the lifts to save a taxi fare,
There was no conversation, one word answers like I didn't care.
I also know that patience is a virtue, it's the one thing I don't have.
Most times conversation would turn into shouting match.
I also know I've hurt you and much lies we're told in past,
I can't say I feel happy when now a good few years on I look back.
There are many things...

Me
Minxy madam, your a peach,
Your a mad-un, hard to teach,
When your saddened, hard to reach,
Grab your pad and pen your speech,
Take the gag out and release,
Don't ever brag and never preach,
Don't ever tag yourself as weak,
Your honesty will have you seek,
Your modesty is none too deep,
Your grounded by your muddy feet,
Your head in sky's of highs deceit,
Your torn in half from what's between,
Your born to laugh and live to scream.
Your a mad-un, hard to teach,
When your saddened, hard to reach,
Grab your pad and pen your speech,
Take the gag out and release,
Don't ever brag and never preach,
Don't ever tag yourself as weak,
Your honesty will have you seek,
Your modesty is none too deep,
Your grounded by your muddy feet,
Your head in sky's of highs deceit,
Your torn in half from what's between,
Your born to laugh and live to scream.

How I feel for you
So deep with a love, like a fire that burnes and ignites the stars everlasting,
That fill the night with diamonds, bright. Till the sun then comes up And the
Birds sing.
So at peace like the breeze, As it blows through the trees that grow with the
Strength of what I feel.
When I look in your eyes, makes my mind realise, your the soul of my life and
It's so reall.
Mysteries hidden like treasures untold in an ocean so deep and untouched.
Like the depths in the pools of your magical eyes, where I found out how much I
Could love.
To find such a...
