Beauty For Ashes

I used to feel like 
A ghost
Just floating through this life
Invisible to the world

Weighed down by the chains 
of sin and guilt
My shoulders bowed and my head hung low
I looked at You through eyes
of Disillusionment and shame

My heart yearned so much
To just let go 
And confide in someone 
To look at my reflection in a mirror
And not hate the person
Staring back at me

To show my scars
Where the pain of cutting
Was  the only way I could escape 
the heartache

And use them as a testimony of 
of how you gave me beauty for ashes

A Special Kind of Love

Our love is one of a kind
            A togetherness no one can define
           We can read one anothers minds
           And know the others desires 
           Our time together is precious and special
                A bond no one can break
                A relationship brought about by our Lord
                        Some view it with scorn
                  They are envious and wish us to part
            To be alone and hurting like they are
         But we pass them by without a second glance
   For our love was not brought about by chance
  How can we expect others to understand  
         A love they have never experienced
    Even when we are apart we are in one another's hearts
  Our love grows stronger everyday 
     You make me laugh
         And I get a little rush every time we touch
      You've given me your heart and your trust 
A romance mapped out in the stars 
           Destined to meet
            A special kind of love
Known only to those precious few 
 Whom open their heart and mind
To something so incredible 
It happens only once in a lifetime.

His Touch

When he touches me
       His fingertips
          Write
    Love letters
Across my ecstasy



And the brush 
   Of his touch
Paints pleasure
Onto the canvas
  Of my body
That leaves a trail
Of sweat upon my nakedness

Echo

Voices in my head
Whispering on my ear
Telling me I'm not good enough
To end my life
To take away the pain forever
That I'm unwanted - a burden


I took down all the mirrors 
Because every time I gazed in one
I saw a girl long dead
Eyes haunted and empty
Staring back at me
 
I want to rip off my skin
Tear at my soul
To kill the echo
Of these predatory ghosts
Ringing in my head

Maybe I'm better off dead
What reason is there for hanging on...

You Taught Me...

You taught me....
How to hide feelings and never let them show.
                       You taught me.....
To let my happiness go.
                       You taught me...
That alcohol is a good way to escape from life.
                        You taught me....
Resentment and anger.
                        You taught me...
To let my hopes and dreams fade away
                         You taught me....
That love isn't always good.
                          You taught me.....
How to be everything I am today,
So if you hate the person I am 
You have yourself to thank.

Destroyed

Like a ghost
I walk through memories
        Of my past
Wondering why I let you destroy my life
    Commanding me to give up
     All that I am 
     All that I love
You stripped away my self-esteem
  And left me standing before you
         Broken and used
         You made me cry
    Just to watch the tears
      Fall from my eyes
My heart is bleeding and raw
      Afraid to trust  
       I back away
    Not letting anyone in
   Don't get hurt that way

A Place To Belong

Searching for a place to belong
         Trying so hard to fit in
      To be what everyone else 
        Wants her to be
      That she loses herself
      
        Alone at night
      She cries herself to sleep
      Feeling so lost and alone
         
     Misunderstood 
    She slices her skin
    Just to watch it bleed 
    The pain is the only thing
   That reminds her she is alive
   
    Eyes haunted and desolate
     She walks through life
     Like a ghost long dead
           Invisible
      And forever unnoticed

Survivor

He's drunk again; It's time to fight
Harsh words fly like verbal swords
She listens to his apologies
The same ones he's used so many times before
How he loves her and doesn't want to lose her
That he won't hurt her anymore
But the wounds he's inflicted 
Have cut too deeply this time
She can't take it anymore
This time when she walks out the door
She won't be back
She's packed her bags and dried her tears
Hardened her heart and swallowed her fears
It's time to move on
No longer a victim
But a survivor!

Listen

Have you ever closed your eyes
                            And retreated to the stillness of your heart 
                                        Allowed yourself to dream
                                        To wonder who you are
                            Your soul will whisper it's desires
                         If you would only take the time to listen
                                     Life is all around you
                            It is in the rustle of the leaves 
                          As they carry a gentle breeze
                         In the sweet song of the birds 
                            As they flit from tree to tree
                      Today I think I will take some time 
                            And get to know me

Untitled

Why do I feel so alone?
I should put up more of a fight
I have a right to a happy life
I wish you could see inside my mind
What a sad sight

Look, there's a little girl
Waiting to be found
Too afraid to cry aloud
even as she's screaming inside
Terrified of the beast
Who considered her innocence his feast

Then there's a young lady 
whose name is "Sadie"
She doesn't want you baby
A declaration of love she can not take
Can't let anyone get too close
You might see the tears she tries so hard to hide
You may realize her toughness is just an act

You will never know me inside 
I prefer to be alone
I don't feel comfortable in my own skin
Will I ever know what happiness is?
