Good bye Heart

How can one word hurt so bad,

It brings pain and makes you mad,

Tears fall like rain,

Exposes all your shame,

The goodbye is temporary nevery to stay,

Only permanent when they ride away,

he wings glisten and shimmer,

In the crisp air of winter,

Five months until spring,

He'll ride back to you again,

You rush to meet him but he rides on past,

It appears the love of her for you didn't last,

You drop to your knees and realize a part of you just died,

After all these years and pain it seems he lied,

Splashed with blood and painted black,

He rides away never looking back,

Cut and batterd bruised and shatterd,

The mind is lost permanent emptiness,

Goodbye is never permanent so they say,

But who are they to say what is permanent,

Wicked Man that rules the night,

Steals our heats from our sights,

Who is he to say what is love and what is hate.

I don't need him and will no longer wait.....

I Am

I see but am unseen, I hear but am unheard,

I always speak but don't say a word,

I am here but am really gone,

The world stands still but I keep moving on,

The walls are made of stone,

And yet I tear them down alone,

I cry but don't shed a tear, I am brave yet I fear,

I am proud but don't have no self esteem,

I speak softly and yet I Scream,

I show no emotion and yet I dream,

I have no hope and yet I pray,

I live in the night but die in the day,

I am asking you to come and drive away,

So who am I? I hear you say,

I am therfore I'll be, maybe I'm you maybey Im me....

Always Blend

Across the room I see him there,

Not just a glance but a noticing stare,

I looked and noticed a bodily way,

I didn't know why but I wanted him to stay,

I saw him staring one more time,

But my heart couldn't stop on the drop of a dime,

I walked over to ask his name,

He said mine and your are one of the same,

I asked what do you mean when you say that to me,

Our heats and souls are as hard as a tree,

He said the bend and the curve and the blow in the wind,

And two hearts like ours will always blend.

Cross Roads

I came across a trail were two paths could be seen,

As I could not travel both I had to chose between,

The raod had all been clear there were no sticks or stones,

I knew I must make a choice and make the choice alone,

No one to help me no one to share my load,

So quickly making up my mind I chose the closest road,

I knew I had made a lucky choice the road had all been clear,

There were no tears, not raps to cause me fear,

But sometimes when the night is dark and I still lie awake,

I can't help but to think of the road I didn't take.

Ashes to ashes

So I say Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,

Pride, Envy and the almighty Lust,

You think your being sneaky! You think your being pretty 'fucking'' smart,

So I say ashes to ashes.... dust to dust it may be time for us to part,

Time for me to let you go..stop letting you walk all over my heart,

try to mend the blood dripping wound you just torn apart,

Cheaters never cheat... And Lairs never lie,

You! are looking at me puzzled! like its a Big mystery,

So I say ashes to ashes, dust to dust let Pride, Anger, Envy and the almighty Lust,

Grip you tight in "her" arms tonight and I will learn to adjust.....
