Wishes
most people wish for money,
for beauty, fame
everybody wants something that they can't have
maybe the wealthy, with all their money
are miserable inside,
perhaps the beautiful are always frightened
of not knowing if they are loved for their heart or just their looks,
perchance the famous wish for privacy
a chance to lead a normal life,
everyone wants something
as a child I too had my wishes
I wanted beauty, I wanted love and happiness,
wealth, fame, to be anyone other then me,
gone are those childhood wishes,
replaced by a new wish...

Actress
I can laugh everyday
then i cry
and push happy thoughts away.
I can smile
pretend nothings wrong
then pray to god for the strength to go on.
I can be however you want me to be
i can even pretend
that i'm not me.
For i'm an actress everyday
loving you is the part i play
pretending that love doesn't matter
every time you go away.
then i cry
and push happy thoughts away.
I can smile

I can be however you want me to be
i can even pretend
that i'm not me.

pretending that love doesn't matter
every time you go away.

Memories
I know I was happy once,
though I can barely remember it anymore
I know long ago I lived a good life,
a life people were envious of,
but oh how they would laugh
if they could see me now,
the girl with that life died long ago,
I know I had love once....
so very, very, long ago
but all that's left now are memories
of memories I can hardly remember.
though I can barely remember it anymore
I know long ago I lived a good life,

but oh how they would laugh

so very, very, long ago
but all that's left now are memories
of memories I can hardly remember.

C.A.C.
In another life
I would have been perfect for you,
you would have loved me
and I you unconditionally,
but this cruel world brought us together
when I was broken and ruined,
damaged beyond repair
you tried your best
to work with what you were given
and I tried to be
what you deserved for me to be,
tears and harsh words
carried us through years and years,
but the pain sinks in
and blackens the love,
my bruised heart changed you in so many ways,
I'd do anything for one more good day,
a day where we faked our way to...

Broken Toys
I wish I could believe you
but my ears hear "lies,lies",
I wish I could trust you
but my heart beats deceit,
I wish I could love you
like you deserve to be loved
but my mind won't cooperate,
it can't push my demons aside
so I cry,
you don't understand,
and it's not your fault
you've put up with more than any man,
you yell sometimes
and I fear that it will be the last time
that the things you say in anger or frustration
will be the last words I'll hear,
my mind knows it would be best if you'd go
but my heart breaks...
but my ears hear "lies,lies",
I wish I could trust you
but my heart beats deceit,
I wish I could love you
like you deserve to be loved

it can't push my demons aside
so I cry,
you don't understand,
and it's not your fault
you've put up with more than any man,
you yell sometimes
and I fear that it will be the last time
that the things you say in anger or frustration

my mind knows it would be best if you'd go

Hell
Black blood falls
like demon tears,
scorching my flesh
with every agonizing drop,
melting the skin away
the blisters bubble and pop
oozing their putrid pus
down my soulless body,
so this is hell....
I always knew I would be here
once I lost you.

A Stupid f**king Puppet
how did a thirty-one year old housewife and mother
go from something so mundane and normal to a fucking monster,
from folding laundry and pushing a broom,
to running for her life and wishing to die?
that's easy....I made "friends"
someone i knew, loved and trusted
loved her drugs more then me,
she let her boyfriend threaten and threaten and guilt me into situations
where we both feared that today would be our last day,
to using and selling
to protect another that I love,
because you knew that when I loved I loved true,
I just never...

Addicted?
we'd only been together
twelve weeks when we broke up,
at first I didn't miss you,
that shouldn't come as a surprise
I never liked you,
the way you made me feel,
all the things you put me through,
I didn't miss you
didn't want you or need you,
you were gone
and I was moving on with my life
so what went wrong?
After a week I was lonely
you used to at times be a comfort,
I wondered would you still?
you used to help me get things done,
I was falling behind
could you help me catch up?
A week of not seeing you,...

Deaths Black Rose
A trail of black roses
led me to your door,
I knocked and received no answer,
I peeked in through the window
and I saw IT,
looming over a table
covered in roses,
their prickly thorns ripping into its' flesh,
yet it did not bleed,
it turned as if sensing me,
its' face was long and white
all but for its' blood red lips, and black around its's eyes,
this was death
and I knew he was waiting for me
that my time was over,
so I went to him
after all I had never gotten roses before.

My Ride
I rode across the ice
on my white pony Glass,
gaining speed
my trusty steed
galloped out into the storm
we rode and rode
for what seemed like days,
through rain, hail, and devils dust,
we followed that broken trail
until we came upon the cross of white set deep within the vale,
beneath a gnarled willow tree
I landed with a crunch,
I wiped my eyes to rid myself
the dusting of the snow,
I bent and gave your grave a kiss...
now on and on we go,
with vigor and determination
that grave supplied my motivation,
my brazen hatred...
