A Tragedy Called Death

Invisible for all to see.

Invisible for you and me.

The cruel angel they call out as Death,

Has greeted many with a draining breath.

He held out his hand for you and me, 

And suddenly expected us to see .

A strange and bewildering destiny.




You were wrapped around a tree, 

And bound by metal with the weight of three.

But see here I as surely puzzled,

And suddenly became befuddled.

It suddenly became quite clear,

Why Death was obviously so near.

Our time had come for what was to be our end.




I ran so fast I couldn't see,

a plane, or car, or bird, or bee.

I ran with terror in my eyes, 

Hoping they were are truly lies.

But then he said "We all have to die."

"Even if we hope to one day survive."

But soon you'll learn life is one great big lie.

Stealing Hearts

I stretch until you pull too hard 
 you're like a feather and my thorns are sharp
 drawing blood from your love 
 grinding away at life's precious moments

 No one can break me 
 grasping your love 
 and cutting the string 
 smiling cruelly as it bleeds

 You broke my heart 
 and now I've shattered yours
 I see your soul within your eyes
 and see the blackness that they hide

 These hands of mine 
 have taken what was mine
 correcting the act of being wronged
 you stole my heart and I've taken yours

 Punched out many tiny holes
 your black blood seeps through
 corrupting you even more
 finally I have made you reap what you sowed

Goodbyes

Slowly you start to fade away, 
 Slowly and painfully day by day.
 The agonizing truth of your life.
 And how you were never the ultimate wife.

 Your faltering fate of what is to come, 
 Is slowly, but surely coming undone.
 Trying to impress,
 But always coming out as second best.

 Goodbye was the hardest for you and me, 
 I felt like I was drowning in an endless sea.
 Consumed by the grief you left with me. 
 It tore me up bit by bit.

 I saw you when you withered into dust,
 and when you looked into my eyes with endearing trust.
 But goodbye were the hardest for you and me,
 But you'll be happier you just wait and see.
