Poet Introduction
The best of us find happiness in misery
The man in striped gloves
The man in striped gloves,
He used to be so happy,
His heart was warm,
And his words were sappy.
Now his heart is broken,
And his smile is hollow,
The pain he feels,
He cannot swollow.
He's now lost,
In a world he doesn't belong,
He grows tired,
Of everyone asking whats wrong.
He loves one,
But she doesn't care,
He doubts she notices,
When he isn't there.
He's suposed to save her,
He needs to be saved too,
Will anyone help him,
Will it be you?
The man in striped gloves,
His heart...
He used to be so happy,
His heart was warm,
And his words were sappy.
Now his heart is broken,
And his smile is hollow,
The pain he feels,
He cannot swollow.
He's now lost,
In a world he doesn't belong,
He grows tired,
Of everyone asking whats wrong.
He loves one,
But she doesn't care,
He doubts she notices,
When he isn't there.
He's suposed to save her,
He needs to be saved too,
Will anyone help him,
Will it be you?
The man in striped gloves,
His heart...

Its all been written
I have nothing to write,
Its all been written,
The pain remains,
And my hearts still broken.
The words just dont flow,
Like they did before,
Maybe thats because,
I'm not sure who I am anymore.
I write the words,
But they just don't fit,
The reason why,
Something I'm afraid to admit.
I'm afraid its gone,
I fear I've lost my touch,
I can't handle this,
Its just too much.
writing is my love,
My final source of hope,
If its gone,
How can I cope?

sing me a memory
Down at the bar,
Just the other day,
An old man walked in,
With his look of dismay.
His clothes were tattered,
And torn all to shreds,
His sorrow growing deeper,
With each tear he sheds.
He walked on over,
And sat next to me,
I asked him,
What his problem could be.
He looked at me teary eyed,
And proceded to say,
My wife is gone,
She died today.
He said sing me a memory,
Of days gone by,
Just please forgive me,
If I break down and cry.
He ordered scotch,
And two beers,
Hoping they...

you'll be the death of me
You keep breaking my heart,
You'll be the death of me,
Its tearing me apart,
Its driving me crazy!
I worry about you,
You know that I do,
Its nothing new,
You keep giving me reasons to!
You forget that I see,
You have changed my dear,
You can't fool me,
This was my greatest fear.
I want you back,
The you I once knew,
When its you I lack,
I don't know what to do.
Only you can save me,
But I guess I must save you,
For saving you is key,
To what on this earth I must do.

desolation memories
This razor blade,
That sits in plain view,
Isn't nearly as sharp,
As my memories of you.
The wounds always heal,
Only to open again,
I guess that makes,
Forgetting a sin.
My head is so cramped,
I need to get out,
It's so depressing,
You're all I think about!
Why'd you leave,
You at least owe me an explanation,
Perhaps it will save me,
From my desolation.
Everyday I wake up,
I listen to our song,
I can't help but wonder,
What I did wrong.
I want to shut people out, ...

a fork in the road
At a fork in my path,
A choice I must make,
Control of my life,
I must take.
One path is dark,
The other light,
Which way do I go,
Which way is right?
The dark road is filled,
With demons that invite,
Claws streched out,
To pull me into the night.
The light path offers,
Angels with arms wide open,
And the air grows warmer,
With every word they have spoken.
The dark path seems,
Like the place to be,
You cant fall,
When you're at the bottom you see.
The light seems,
A more demanding...
A choice I must make,
Control of my life,
I must take.

to her..
Hello my dear,
It's been so long,
Since we last spoke,
Since things went wrong.
I want you to know,
Im not mad,
I just miss you,
I want you back so bad.
But that can never be,
And i know that now,
I can't let go,
I don't know how.
I forgive you my dear,
For calling me gay,
I won't hate you for it,
I'll get nowhere that way.
Honey im sorry,
For whatever I did,
But now to you,
A goodbye I bid.
I can see you've moved on,
I'm happy for you,
I know in time,
I will too.

would you
If into the darkness,
I were to fade,
Would you pull me out,
Or smile and hand me the blade?
Would you smack my hand,
When I put it to my skin,
Or stand and watch,
My destruction begin?
If I were to cut too deep,
Would you care,
Or look away,
And pretend i wasn't there?
If I call you in a suicidal state,
Would you save my life,
Or would you come here,
And let me use your knife?
I doubt you'd care,
You'd choose the latter,
Im cold inside,
Yet you never ask whats the matter.

you lied
Please my dear,
Spare me the lies,
Thats all they are,
I see it in your eyes.
Forgive you,
I cannot,
I'm broken now,
My heart will rot.
It hurts so much,
The pain I cannot bare,
You said you loved me,
How can you not care?
I love you,
This is the biggest lie you told,
Why can't you tell the truth,
It really gets quite old.
Altough you did lie,
I do love you,
I always will,
I'm not a liar too.

three scars
Memories,
Represented by scars,
That are scattered,
Up and down my arms.
Each cut,
Tells a horrific tale,
Of my desolating decent,
Oh how I did wail.
The first one,
Isn't to small but isn't the bigest,
It was for her,
It was the deepest.
The second,
For my bestfriend,
My heart she did break,
The truth she did bend.
The last is for both,
This one hurt the worst,
It was the biggest,
But not as deep as the first.
Three scars that tell my story,
Yes, there are more,
These three are...

you never thought to check
You think i would never,
Do my self harm,
You think that i would never,
Slit my arm.
"I'm fine" I say,
So you don't suspect,
I promised you,
But you never thought to check.
There are several scars,
I didn't know what to do,
You don't know however,
every ones for you.
Its okay though,
Now I've promised someone new,
She's different,
Doesn't give me pain like you.
Im sorry my dear,
I did break my promise,
If you could feel my pain,
You'd understand what the reason is.
Please don't...

f**k It
Fuck this world,
And all of you in it,
Fuck the "truth",
And the way that you spin it.
Fuck the rules,
That tell me how to live,
I don't care,
Where did I put that damn to give?
So what if I don't fit,
Into your perfect little plan,
I'll never fit,
Your definition of a "man".
Fuck your stereotypes,
And your opinion too,
Fuck it,
Who the hell asked you?
And all of you in it,
Fuck the "truth",
And the way that you spin it.
