A Love Story

One boy
One girl
One heart
Their world

The Forgotten One

Oh, how many days to go
Until we find the forgotten one
All the things we forget
We must find

It takes time to find this forgotten one
It can be an hour or a day
A month or year
It is how much time it took to find it that counts



Each day it takes
The hope grows slimmer
To find it, the forgotten one
Many a days have gone and still I haven’t found my forgotten one

And if by chance I decide to find it again
I must realize why
I must realize how
I must realize the love it gave me

But for you 
It is a different story
Each forgotten one is different, as I said before
When you find yours 
Keep it with you 

And with each story 
There is a certain ending
Each ending is different
And with each ending

There are several things to remember
How you read 
What you found
Oddities, Moments, or Similarities

Each forgotten item 
Is a cliff hanger
You don’t realize

How it can affect you
In the short term
Or the long run
And it is hard 

To realize what 
It has been like
Without it

Don’t forget
I lost mine 
It will never come back
Don’t lose yours

Shot In the Dark

Blood on the ground
The leaves will be turning red
A shot in the dark

Anything

I watch the days go by
I wonder why
Why haven't I done anything

War In the Wrestling Room

Stepping up to the line there is no whistle
A hail of balls flying unemotionally
Uncaring of its next victim
A soul is hit, he falls to the ground
Comrades watch, in horror, disbelief

The stream is endless, one by one
Penetrating the armor, until it breaks
Mass chaos ensues, and hail begins on both sides
Smoke builds blinding each member
Shots taken on allies, friends,

The smoke clears and few are standing 
That is on the Allied side and rivals are numerous
Slowly, they are taken out, but the speed is to slow
Until one is left, Vying for his team, his country

His rivals take aim, fir, miss 
Hailing bullets into a wall, they stop, and he pounces 
One by one, he picks up weapons and takes them down
A brace solider is he but his ammo has run out

He waits for a bullet to fly but the captain, leader
Tells them to wait, for he is the one to end the fight
The boy looks at death, for he knows what will happen 
The bullet is thrown, and misses but the leader recovers and 
Finds the young man’s eye

The solider falls 
He hears the joy in the rivals
But for his team they walk around him 
He was their savior and he failed

Never Alone

One month and two days ago
We met
Some fell in love
Others wept

I look back 
And I remember
How we were treated equal
All a member

Scattered across the country
We were united 
And one was angry, sad
We were there; strong and undivided

A cruise liner could
Not hold our emotion
We stood and looked at
Each other with strong devotion

One month and two days today
We all look back
And talk like we're still together
We are never seperated; never alone

Watching From the Sidelines

A dysfunctional family
Always yelling
Fights breaking out
But there can be no telling

The mother sits 
Acts as if nothing is going on
Watches blood spilt on the carpet
But the marriage goes on

The father is in it
Finds a reason to investigate
Shots questions off
And looks like an ape

The eldest has had his turn
Beating upon his brothers
Turned against him and gets into the brawl
Watching his blood spilt on the carpet

The step has his freedom
No blood, groubeatings
Watches from the sidelines
Glad to have his cockiness without anything




The next one down
Has seen his share of fights
No blood for him either
But some unnerving nights

The smallest has understood
But cannot decide what he should do 
Does he go with standing up
Or go with the cockiness too

While the three yearn to yell
They cannot fore he is the only one they have
The mom is so happy and they will not yell
Secrets will come one day to tell the fights they gave

Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President
I have a few questions to ask you
Some of them may be wrong
But to me they are all right 

Dear Mr. President
Why are we still in Iraq
Is it for safety
Or is it for daddy

Dear Mr. President 
Are you doing what's right
People are becoming angry
Too many are dying

Dear Mr. President
What are your ideas
Will you help America
Or will it be 1967

So you see Mr. President 
People are the key
You need to realize
To feed the needs

War

Mothers screaming
Daughters watching
Fathers leaving
Brothers waiting

And for all the things we do 
Nothing is accomplished
And when you think about it
All we do is kill

From straight lines
And single shot rifles
To hiding in bushes 
Waiting for the enemy to go by

We become more aggressive
In unholy acts of power
For Power, Wealth
Superiority, and Revenge

Now Its high powered rifles
Anything goes and the past is forgotten
We watch the casualties mount
But we can't stop the flow

Only one group suffers 
Through all of this
It's not the government
The men or the enemy

The only group that suffers 
Are the ones screaming
And the ones
That watch

The New Day

There will always be a new day
So if you screw up 
Oh well

There will always be a new day
To tell what you
Have done wrong

Don't forget 
To right
That wrong

If you don't 
It could be 
the last wrong of your life
