Memories float among the abyss,
As hearts smile with joy,
And cry with loneliness.
Although happiness prevails,
...

I wept today,
For I saw the truth,
But heard the lies once more.
I thought I heard you say never again,
...

Her fears over-run her
She’s screaming for help
These words she writes
Are simply not enough.
...

Her smile shined throughout your world.
Her love covered your fears and all the tears.

The heavens needed her,
...

As I stand here and look before me,
I see light, and, I see darkness.
I see success, and, I see failure.
I see two paths, both worn down, both taken often.
...

Left alone here to fight my disasters.
While the others screened their eyes
And sheltered their ears.
I’m pacing back and forth now,
...

The wheels in my head are turning faster and faster,
I think I’m starting to fall behind.
Looking at them there, I sit and stare,
Wondering how they keep on going.
...

Your love for me was once selfless,
and your trust was undeniable.
I thought I had everything planed out perfectly,
but to my dismay I was wrong.
...

Her heart pounds slowly and carefully,
not wanting to make a single noise.
She lays in fear of what is to come.
Her future is waiting,
...

I pushed back the tears that dwelled in my eyes day after day.
I ignored that painful beat of my damaged heart.
I faked a smile, pretending to laugh generously.
I did this for you.
...

We all start this race,
This race to win.
This race to be the best.
But what do you perceive will come?
...

Shake these covers.
Shake these tides.
Uncover the hidden truth.
Uncover what is me.
...

Five bodies connected
By one’s lust of vital redemption.
A simple Saturday night thrust into a struggling Sunday nightmare.
Shivering and shaking, in fear I cry.
...

Four years ago,
We were tiny little specs
On the social pyramid.
Now we rule,
...

Dearest Dad
Where have you gone?
Please tell me because I am mad,
For you promised to be back before dawn.
...

Go ahead and push me down,
We are just two kids in this sleepy old town
Please tell me this wasn’t in your vision.
The police will be on you within the hour.
...

I’m falling down with the demons,
Lying with the dogs.
My skin is itchin, it is crawling.
My heart is pounding, My head is screaming.
...

These clouds of mine dim back and forth from gray to white,
For I still struggle with my constant fight.
My world span out of control,
For without you I did not feel whole.
...

This old game of cat and mouse
Is beginning to wear me down
I don’t understand how you think it is all fair
I am tired of sleeping in this old house
...

Don’t you get what this is doing to me,
I don’t understand what is happening here.
I am losing control
And you are rolling your eyes
...
