A Boy

My daughter came home crying, so hard she couldn’t speak,
I tried my best to calm her, wiping the tears from her cheek,

Merry Christmas Kiddie Winkles

Merry Christmas kiddie winkles, Santa is on his way,
He’s putting on his big red suit and getting on his sleigh,

So quickly kiss your mum goodnight and get yourself to bed.

My Darling Wife

'Goodnight' my darling he whispered, as he perched himself on the bed,
'I was thinking of you today, you know, about the day we wed.

Approaching me from down the isle. you made me feel so proud.

She sits on a swing made of old wood and vines,
Swinging backwards and forwards, she never smiles.

If everyone did what’s ‘normal’, there’d be no you and me.

A Whisper

Have you ever been sitting alone, and heard someone whisper your name?
you look around, there’s no one there, no one you can blame.
You question whether you heard it, there’s no reason you can find,
You just think you’re maybe tired, tricks of the mind.

Stolen

Backwards and forwards she rocks on her knees,
Her head in her hands, her womb bleeds.
Helpless to stop it, she rocks, she screams,
Her mind haunted, hallucinations, dreams.

I Am

I am the smile behind your tears
I am the knowledge beyond your years
I am the happiness of which you gain
I am the one who soothes your pain

My One

The last words she whispered, the warmth of her breath,
Taken away so quickly, by the coldness of death,
How those words tangle around my aching heart,
Strangling my soal, it tears me apart.

No Tomorrow

Surrounded by my fears, my anger and my sorrow,
The night drags along keeping clear of tomorrow,
The thoughts of death are nothing new,
The damage and hate that I long to hold on to.
