As You Pass My Way
Darkness settles all around
As voices fade away
Echoes of their silent prayers
Will linger through the day
I say that I am sleeping
My destiny’s fulfilled
I wish that I could bear your sorrow
For now, I have no wounds to heal
Flowers are placed upon
And people close their eyes
They hold each other’s hand for comfort
As my image passes by
Remember me, my friends, with a smile,
And hold me near your heart
Learn a lesson from this day
Because our souls will never be apart
Look to stars and continue the search for...
As voices fade away

My destiny’s fulfilled

Flowers are placed upon
And people close their eyes
They hold each other’s hand for comfort
As my image passes by
Remember me, my friends, with a smile,
And hold me near your heart
Learn a lesson from this day
Because our souls will never be apart
Look to stars and continue the search for...

Just Plain Love
I feel a release
Within my soul
I accept my past
And future unknown
Each day a new beginning
Emerges with the rising sun
Rays of light dance on my smile
Cherished memories reconciled
With the past they flow out
Into the realm that sets above us
And cleanses my soul with your love
Just plain love I could never get enough of
Within my soul
I accept my past
And future unknown
Each day a new beginning
Emerges with the rising sun
Rays of light dance on my smile
Cherished memories reconciled
With the past they flow out
Into the realm that sets above us
And cleanses my soul with your love
Just plain love I could never get enough of

Down to Meadows
The hands do slowly unwind
The final hour doth come
To unite the fires that burn inside
And bring forth to make me one
One at peace with the world
Damned be the shadows
Of the lost hopes unfurl
When they lay me down to meadows
The tall grass will intertwine
With mine own golden hair
And dirt shall feel the emptiness
Of a face, forever fair
No more shall light there be
For bleakness of eternal sleep
Will glow like desolate moons above
And bring continual peace to me
The final hour doth come
To unite the fires that burn inside
And bring forth to make me one
One at peace with the world
Damned be the shadows
Of the lost hopes unfurl
When they lay me down to meadows
The tall grass will intertwine
With mine own golden hair
And dirt shall feel the emptiness
Of a face, forever fair
No more shall light there be
For bleakness of eternal sleep
Will glow like desolate moons above
And bring continual peace to me

Cold Winds
A broken promise and shattered dreams
shadows all stand still, joining hands
bowing heads while cold winds blow
With nothing left to feel
One blind moment of panic and rage
You created carnage and walked
Leaving me in this frozen past
And now you heed the talk
They tell a tale of dying love
You drank away my dreams
They vanished with the melting ice
That drowned and destroyed me
I sorrow not for my goodbye
I know now where I’ll go
Rest assured my memory will find you
Each time the cold winds blow
shadows all stand still, joining hands
bowing heads while cold winds blow
With nothing left to feel
One blind moment of panic and rage
You created carnage and walked
Leaving me in this frozen past
And now you heed the talk
They tell a tale of dying love
You drank away my dreams
They vanished with the melting ice
That drowned and destroyed me
I sorrow not for my goodbye
I know now where I’ll go
Rest assured my memory will find you
Each time the cold winds blow

White Train
A cry from the enemy
Aboard the white train of pain
Russian roulette is your life
A prisoner of cocaine
As you ride the rails
Of insanity, pleading, and society’s drain
Surrender half your dreams to death
And the other half to cocaine
Aboard the white train of pain
Russian roulette is your life
A prisoner of cocaine
As you ride the rails
Of insanity, pleading, and society’s drain
Surrender half your dreams to death
And the other half to cocaine

Mountains
How long can you cling to the past
Without a glimpse of hope anew?
Blindly believing, hoping, wishing
For make-believe dreams to come true
When two souls unite as one
And half is wrest away
In its wake a lonely, aching, hollow void
Grows more desolate every day
How do the wounds get bandaged
So the heart that bleeds of sorrow
Can beat with love and splendor
Without yearning for my lover tomorrow
When tears keep overflowing
But never cleanse the pain
Can the spirit of what once was
Continue survival,...
Without a glimpse of hope anew?
Blindly believing, hoping, wishing
For make-believe dreams to come true
When two souls unite as one
And half is wrest away
In its wake a lonely, aching, hollow void
Grows more desolate every day
How do the wounds get bandaged
So the heart that bleeds of sorrow
Can beat with love and splendor
Without yearning for my lover tomorrow
When tears keep overflowing
But never cleanse the pain
Can the spirit of what once was

I...
I cry alone so no one can hear
The pain behind my tears
I can’t see the light anymore
Darkness now I fear
I smile every day so no one knows
The sadness in my heart
I can’t hear the beat anymore
Silence now rips my world apart
I go through the motions so no sees
The hurt inside my soul
I can’t feel the warmth anymore
Emptiness now is so cold
I answer I am fine so no one says
The quiet is not like you
I can’t understand feelings anymore
Hurt now grows where love once grew
I hear the words...
The pain behind my tears
I can’t see the light anymore
Darkness now I fear
I smile every day so no one knows
The sadness in my heart
I can’t hear the beat anymore
Silence now rips my world apart
I go through the motions so no sees
The hurt inside my soul
I can’t feel the warmth anymore
Emptiness now is so cold
I answer I am fine so no one says
The quiet is not like you
I can’t understand feelings anymore
Hurt now grows where love once grew
I hear the words...

When I Find Courage
My past does not define me
It rests within my mind
My future does not control me
It merely represents a guide
My worth is not measured
By how much someone cares
My esteem relies on my perceptions
Go ahead, question if you dare
The bruises that I carry
Do not reflect on my courage
Raise your hand and force it down
I will not be discouraged
Cast your stones and aim at me
One more hit? Doesn’t matter
I have not the ability to care
From my pain is endless chatter
The look of hurt on my face no...
It rests within my mind
My future does not control me
It merely represents a guide
My worth is not measured
By how much someone cares
My esteem relies on my perceptions
Go ahead, question if you dare
The bruises that I carry
Do not reflect on my courage
Raise your hand and force it down
I will not be discouraged
Cast your stones and aim at me
One more hit? Doesn’t matter

Setting Sun
Sometimes life is really strange
The ones you think you know
Are the very ones that try to confuse
They want to stay, but go…
Once reality pierces the heart
The hole can never be repaired
It will never heal, it leaves a scar
A stark reminder – no one cared
I pull my feelings back inside
Out in the open they get burned
Saying one thing and doing another
I thought that lesson I had learned
I have run as far and as fast as I can
My running days are done
I’m tired of all this hurting
I...
The ones you think you know

Complete
Moonlit night
Excitement and fright
Makin’ love
With stars above
Burning desire
Fueling the fire
Hungry lips
Grinding hips
Hands caressing
Bodies sweating
Rocking steady
Breathing heavy
Heartbeats race
Tangled embrace
Tension builds
Sending chills
Moans of pleasure
Hidden treasure
Alas, we shudder
Collapse into each other
Head on your chest
Your love is the best
Close my eyes
Smile with your sigh
Drift off to sleep
With you – I’m complete
Excitement and fright
Makin’ love
With stars above
Burning desire
Fueling the fire
Hungry lips
Grinding hips
Hands caressing
Bodies sweating
Rocking steady
Breathing heavy
Heartbeats race
Tangled embrace
Tension builds
Sending chills
Moans of pleasure
Hidden treasure
Alas, we shudder
Collapse into each other
Head on your chest
Your love is the best
Close my eyes
Smile with your sigh
Drift off to sleep
With you – I’m complete

The Car
The years have not weakened the memory
Of the fog that fills my memory’s scar
Or the smell of death while my hopes drowned
As I ran toward your car
Engine dead, out of gas
A sight I can never unsee
Your lifeless eyes cloudy and grey
But still they stared at me
What the hell were you thinking
You were the one that saved my life
And now my friend, the table turned
It was you who wanted to die
All the words you spoke to me
When I tried the unthinkable, too
You never judged, you never gave up
I never...

Me Part 2 (and the Ward)
I have a super crazy memory.
I can remember things from when I was two.
I don't know if it is a gift or a curse.
I remember all the little details.
Everything.
Guess it depends on what I am remembering whether it is good or bad.
Now the cat is out of the bag - or so to speak...
You know I was on an adolescent psychiatric ward -
well, because I was a teen, being stupid, being a teen.
To understand the real difference this place made
I have to tell you a little about the stay.
My first night.
After I get wheeled to my semi-private...
