Ryan Holmes

A happy face is painted on
The sorrow stricken tears are gone
It's just my thoughts that betry me
Thoughts you can't hear, thoughts you can't see
...

As I watch life pass me by
Still I continue to hide
Finding strength in nothing now
My thoughts blanked out by my shouts
...

He’d always searched for the words to say,
To let her know how he had felt,
She had to find out one of these days
The way she had made his heart melt
...

My azure eyed angel
With her I’m so vulnerable
And for once, I do not care
As long as she is near
...

Is love worth it
Is it worth the time you spend being alone
Is it worth the tears you cry
Is it worth the pain you hide
...

She cannot hear this wrath I scream
Cause I’m slowly evading her
I stay awake so I can’t dream
I try hard not to remember
...

I slowly dream away the night,
Just thinking that we feel so right.
I pray you know I need you near.
Your siren call is all I hear.
...

The lightning strikes, but the land is dry,
The Angels, too afraid to fly,
Huddle in the great redwood,
Their heads bowed under their hoods,
...

Our Romeo snuck in the tomb
Not waiting for his Juliet.
Yet knowing his impending doom,
He sat on the cold floor and wept.
...

Elderly wounds have yet to fade,
Fore pain still lingers to this day.
Every since you said good bye,
This shallow grave in which I lie,
...

Don't leave me here, Standing alone
Won't voice my fear, I'm too stubborn
I'll cry tonight when you are gone
These tears of fright, my sorrow's sewn
...

He has these thoughts, terror stricken
I don't know what to make of him
People will not just let him be
They talk to him, yet cannot see
...

A massacre within my mind
This wound leaves me no time to bide
The blood, it flows like crimson tears
As I am slain, I see you leer
...

Ethereal tears roll down my face
I'm sorrowful, yet there's no trace
Of agony, yet in my eyes
There's no deceit, I cannot lie
...

I walk along this dusty road,
I’ve contemplated love and life,
These thoughts are getting hard to bode
I need an end to this damn strife
...

The time I've spent thinking of you,
It seems to me, that's all I do,
The time I've spent, in covert ache,
To know your soul, to see you wake
...

You left the noose for me,
Hanging, looming,
Leaving me with thoughts of sorrow.
I step up to it, all the while thinking of you,
...

You've given me a great friendship
You've been there for me and much more
That's why I shut my lonely lips
And never say my love is yours
...

I don’t sleep at night anymore.
I just lie there, thinking of her.
Lost opportunity, closed doors.
What ever you call it, it hurts.
...

I die today,
I wish I may,
Gain strength to say,
My ashamed truth.
...
