Barry Hughes Poems

I’m tired of taking a back seat in life
Watching the world pass me by all over again
It speeds past my eyes like a runaway train
And the light in the tunnel is oncoming pain
...

Tonight as I sleep rip the spark from my eye
Savor the moment as I start to die
You stole every breath, every reason to live
And now that they’re gone there’s nothing to win
...

Why do I feel so empty inside
Why do I feel like my life is a lie
I’m tired of feeling like I’m all alone
Begging to be heard like an unanswered phone
...

Why do I live in heartbreak hotel
Where days are pitch black and nights are pure hell
I’m hurt and I’m crying, where can I go
I’m lost and confused, my heads hanging low
...

Hey folks its here, the final farewell
Saying goodbye to my own little hell
This is the end, the tale has been told
I'm tired of trying and this plots getting old
...

There’s a boy that I know who feels all alone
He’s hurting inside and afraid he’ll be shown
That there are things in his life he’ll never forget
The people he’s hurt and how he’ll regret
...

Here I am, in you presence again
Hey I'm here, asking forgiveness again
Over and over I fell on my face
But you picked me up and stood in my place
...

Lost in my thoughts of what’s right and what’s wrong
Knowing what’s right but it's feeling all wrong
I’m scared of the dreams about losing you
But now I'm here wishing, if only you knew
...

I’m lost and confused. I can’t hear your voice
Where have you gone, did I make the right choice
In the constant struggle of life I’ve lost my own way
When your running blind you cant tell the night from the day
...

Hey gods it's me, take me away from this place.
My prayer for tonight is to see her sweet face.
The face of the one who lives in my heart
She's my perfect girl and your work of art.
