Promises of true love
I swear I swear
To always care
To never go back
Under attack
Only in daylight
When it’s not hard to fight
and never at night
When I have no sight
You swear you swear
To never tear
Your skin over your chest
putting yourself to the test
For the bleeding scars
Are worse than cigars
A powerful addiction
And desperate condition
We swear we swear
To always be fair
To be strong when it’s hardest
when our minds are the darkest. ...
To always care
To never go back
Under attack
Only in daylight
When it’s not hard to fight
and never at night
When I have no sight
You swear you swear
To never tear
Your skin over your chest
putting yourself to the test
For the bleeding scars
Are worse than cigars
A powerful addiction
And desperate condition
We swear we swear
To always be fair
To be strong when it’s hardest
when our minds are the darkest. ...

Life goes on
The hands are shook and the prayers are said.
I sit alone here on your bed.
Why you left I'll never know
But some will say God called you home
The hole you left there's no denying
Can't hold back the tears or I can't stop crying
The blood stained sheets still on your bed
Where you raised a pistol to your head
The reason why I’ll never know
The love you lost and so much more
Your wife your kids are now alone
To carry on we have no choice, to never hear you loving voice
The pain I feel you will never know
Until...
I sit alone here on your bed.
Why you left I'll never know
But some will say God called you home
The hole you left there's no denying
Can't hold back the tears or I can't stop crying
The blood stained sheets still on your bed
Where you raised a pistol to your head
The reason why I’ll never know
The love you lost and so much more
Your wife your kids are now alone
To carry on we have no choice, to never hear you loving voice
The pain I feel you will never know
Until...

A Letter Home
Dear Mom and Dad,
I can't do this life thing anymore. I'm just too sad. Please take care of whiskers for me. Remember he likes the generic brand cat food. Tell Joey I'm sorry, maybe one day when he's older you can explain my disease to him. I left some money on my night stand to help pay for some of the funeral costs. You can cremate me if it's cheaper. I'll try not to make too big of a mess on the bathroom floor. I laid out the old towels. You probably won't miss them. Will you miss me mom? How about you dad? I'm sorry.
Love,
Valerie

Dark Forest
Once upon a blue moon,
Came a death not too soon
Nor too late,
For it was to be his fate.
Dark was the night,
The silhouettes of the trees were quite a fright,
As they were illuminated solely by the moon,
Accompanied by the birds' gentile, eerie, croon.
Cautiously, gingerly even, each of his footsteps slowly made its way
Through the darkened forest of decay.
He found that which he was seeking,
The being for whom he had been searching.
Her skin was a ghastly pale,
Like something out of a fairy-tale,
Her eyes...
Came a death not too soon
Nor too late,
For it was to be his fate.
Dark was the night,
The silhouettes of the trees were quite a fright,
As they were illuminated solely by the moon,
Accompanied by the birds' gentile, eerie, croon.
Cautiously, gingerly even, each of his footsteps slowly made its way
Through the darkened forest of decay.
He found that which he was seeking,
The being for whom he had been searching.
Her skin was a ghastly pale,
Like something out of a fairy-tale,
Her eyes...

Unknown
I find happiness in the dark,
I find happiness in my sadness,
I find happiness in the silence,
Oh oh,
I find that I'm desperately,
Holding on to a rope,
I find that I'm desperately,
Holding on to a thin piece of hope,
I've been wondering,
If you could save me?
If you can't it's alright,
You're not the first to have tried,
Sometimes I wonder if it's me?
Or my anxiety?
Or is it you?
Are my speculations true?
Have you been tearing my heart?
Have you been ripping me apart?
From the inside out,
Why...
I find happiness in my sadness,

Swinging from a tree
Hanging, swinging from a tree.
I want to die.
I keep seeing myself hanging, swinging from a tree. For three days no one finds me the stench it wafts from me. No need to take me down and lift the smile up from my face. Leave me there hanging, up here it is so free. It's brings a kind of peace to imagine such a thing. To picture myself hanging, swinging from a tree.
I can't seem to shake it, that this lifes just not for me. It burns so deep within me! A desire for to end. No words seem to change it and for some that is scary, but to me it's sort of thrilling. To picture myself...

Way out..
Struggling through life
With no signs of letting up
The only answer I see
Is surrendering
And giving up.
Minute by minute
Hour by hour
It's a never ending battle,
A fight that's wearing me down
It's wearing thin
I don't know how to get out
Or where to begin..
A smile
As if I'm putting on a show
No one cares
Because nobody knows
Sporting a brave face
Hiding inside
Laughing and joking,
Is my only disguise.
I play the fool
It's one i wear
A permanent smile
Like I...
With no signs of letting up
The only answer I see
Is surrendering
And giving up.
Minute by minute
Hour by hour
It's a never ending battle,
A fight that's wearing me down
It's wearing thin
I don't know how to get out
Or where to begin..
A smile
As if I'm putting on a show
No one cares
Because nobody knows
Sporting a brave face
Hiding inside
Laughing and joking,
Is my only disguise.
I play the fool
It's one i wear
A permanent smile
Like I...

For Morrissey
I too have thunk it
Of methods & places & such
I found work best
To motivate me, to do it
Work was my prime, location
I had my door staked out
Well, door closer to be exact
High enough to get it done
Internal lock, good solid door
I could kick there & they'd never get it
Until it was late enough
And it would be their problem, not mine
And many of them might get
What's coming to them
And some of them might not
And I'm sorry about that
Fellow incendiary...

Red Dead Bubble Bath
Lightly rocking, gently floating
Hair a tangle, body bloating
Fingertips like crinkle cut
Life expired, given up
Water blushing, drain slushing
Floor flooded, veins gushing
Skin slouching from frame
Lights out for what's her name
No more laughs, no more paths
No more bubbly scented baths
Eyes half open, no one home
No more songs, only foam
Hair a tangle, body bloating
Fingertips like crinkle cut
Life expired, given up
Water blushing, drain slushing
Floor flooded, veins gushing
Skin slouching from frame
Lights out for what's her name
No more laughs, no more paths
No more bubbly scented baths
Eyes half open, no one home
No more songs, only foam
