A True Friend

Why is a true friend so hard to find?
Come, take a step inside my mind.

I will tell you what it is they will do,
If really they are a friend so true.

For you, a true friend will always be there,
Through thick and thin, they will not care.

When it is you experience fear,
Your true friend will always near.

When life seems it is just to much,
To your aide a true friend will rush.

When your way out seems hidden, not always clear,
Your true friend will be there, your problems to hear.

For you, time is what a true friend will spend,
Seeking for your wounds to heal and mend.

They will gladly give for you  their life and limb,
They will help you when you must sink or swim.

Have you ever had someone be untrue?
Your true friend surely knew what to do!

This person feels for you love and respect,
Your life it is they have sworn to protect.

Your true friend will always guard your back,
When all of your foes decide to attack.

Have you ever been filled with uncertainty and doubt?
Your true friends knows what your problems are about.

When it is you are feeling sorrow, misery and pain,
Their eyes will shed tears as the sky drops rain.

Such a friend is always honest and true,
Has someone ever dealt this way with you?

Why do such friends seem to be so few?
Thankfully I have one standing right in view.

You have really been there all of the time,
Because of you my life is honestly sublime.

What is it I can do to repay all the problems and fears you overcame?
The answer to this my friend, is I’ll always do for you, exactly the same!

Yes here we are the truest of friends we could be,
And I know we always will be, yes for all eternity.

Always

Here I sit a thousand lonely miles away from you,
Knowing to be with you theres nothing I wouldn't do.

When I someday see your face I'll know I'm finally yours,
The day when we close the distance between these shores.

Everywhere I turn I'm finding something new,
It feels so right being hopelessly lost in you.

When I think of how truely beautiful you are,
I only hope in your eyes I am holding up to par.

I know looks don't matter but your inner beauty is so surreal,
When I stop to think about it I know how my heart you could steal.

I was so tired of how many people comitted love crimes,
In truth though I've seen how real you love so many times.

I swore I would never love again, just to simply avoid the hurt,
Yet you came into my life and stole my love even on full alert.

How you do this to me so easily is such a mystery,
But you need to know you have every part of me.

So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head,
I know if I lived without you, I would feel dead.

I hope I have done the same to your heart,
I love you and can't stand us being apart.

Don't underestimate how hard i'll try,
I promise you I'll love you until I die.

I know now that your love is something I can't live without,
We were meant to be together, of that there is simply no doubt.

When I think about all the things we might go through,
I know I'll always love you, give me one reason not to.

Run & Hide

I won't leave a letter, no nothing at all,
I wont be around when you let out your call,
I can't believe how bad you've treated me so long,
So now I will run and hide to prove you were wrong.

What can you want from me that you didn't already take,
If I could have realized from the start that you were fake,
Perhaps there would be enough of me to consider myself whole,
So much you took, I'm running away and I can still feel the pull.

Yes I couldn't seem to recognize,
When I took a look into your eyes,
All the deceit that I could see,
Coldly staring right back at me.

So I guess it's going to have to hurt,
Yeah I guess I'm going to have to cry,
You know I can't possibly do this alone,
Yet you didn't care and had to say goodbye.

Looking back you gave it all away,
And somehow you can blame me today,
Some wounds time will never erase,
So I throw away what I can't replace.

Now I will run and hide until memories fade away,
I look eagerly forward to when we end this fray,
And I will leave behind a love that was so strong,
Lying and saying I never cared for you all along.

Right Now (Part 2)

Right now, now a father is crying with his face in his hands,
He never expected his son to die, he had such better plans,
But some punk wasn't looking at the kid crossing the street,
He didn't care, just kept driving with his music sounding so sweet.

Right now, some bastard is upstairs beating his wife,
He promised that he'd love her for the rest of his life,
She plans to commit suicide wondering what she did wrong,
When it was this jerk who had the major issues all along.

Right now, a man is driving to his job where he'll get fired,
You see he never got it right, always had trouble getting inspired,
Now he is driving home and stops slowly at the ridge,
He can't break it to his wife so he jumps off the bridge.

Right now, a cute girl is kissing a guy she just met,
She realizes she doesn't even know the man's name yet,
He tells her he loves her as he ties her hands and feet,
Surely this wasn't her online date she was suppose to meet?

Right now a young soldier is bleeding on himself in a war,
This man is going to die and he doesn't even know what for,
He and his squad always performed so well, with such aplomb,
Now he won't make it home because of the maniac's suicide bomb.

Right now, there is someone who hasn't eaten all week,
The poor man is so famished he can barely even speak,
That man would give a fortune to have the food you throw away,
Yet so many people will just throw food in the trash night and day.

Right now, some dude is in prison serving his life,
Writing his final letter to his beautiful son and wife,
Wrongly accused by those sworn to serve and to protect,
The Judge said too bad when he said, your honor I object.

Right now, you're probably wondering how some people cope,
Maybe you've been lucky and time has given you reason for hope,
Right now, I'm asking you to just stop and think next time,
If you do nothing to help someone, this was a wasted rhyme,
Yes, if you turn away, you're guilty of humanity's worst crime.

Right Now (Part 1)

Right now, I'm sitting here writing this rhyme,
As I do it, millions of people are abused by time,
God knows I would help them if I truely could,
There are many people I'm sure who also would.

Right now, little Timmy is waiting for a willing organ doner,
None of the kids in his school care, he's always been a loner,
The doctor says the prognosis doesn't look very good,
His parents hope he won't die, and he's wishing he would.

Right now, some homeless bum is running down the street,
Running from the man that he hoped he never would meet,
This man wants to try something with his brand new gun,
Funny how theres such a thin line between fear and fun.

Right now, someone is spending their paycheck to fix their car,
They have to have it, to walk to their job is simply much too far,
Now they can't even buy food because all their money is spent,
What will happen at the end of the month when they can't pay rent?

Right now, someone is playing slots in Vegas trying, hoping to hit it big,
That someone is so poor they can barely afford to puff on that second hand cig,
They know that if they get lucky and become the big winner,
They might know for once what its like to have a real dinner.

Right now, some girl is sitting in her empty apartment,
Wondering just where her fiance of 11 months went,
He said he'd be right back, he was just going to the store,
Now she knows that the bastard doesn't love her anymore.

Right now, some superstar is walking all alone to his car,
He is looking around wondering where his bodyguards are,
A beggar asks him for money, knowing his life this superstar can affect,
The superstar shoves him away scattering the $0.05 the bum wanted to protect.

Right now, a mother is going through her labor pain,
Kicking and screaming at her family Doctor DeWayne,
Doctor DeWayne says it will be either the baby or the mother.
And now a husband quietly says goodbye to his significant other.

Tomorrow

I will promise to always stand by you,
As long as my body tells me that I am able,
I wonder, from your eyes, how is the view,
Do you see our bond as being this strong cable?

Our lives have both become crazy history,
The past is now a pleasant thought living only in the mind's eye,
Today is still an ever changing, unsolveable mystery,
Tomorrow is my dream, my wish, the hope which often makes me cry.

This dream that lives on every day in me so vivid, so clarion too,
Is that the next day will be one spent with you,
One that I want to be real every day, I swear this much is true,
What do you dream of for tomorrow, I wish I knew.

No matter how much either of us, in this life, go through,
I want you to know, I can't wait to see tomorrow with you,

It won't matter where we are so long as your eyes are there to gaze into,
I know everywhere I look I will enjoy the beautiful view, with my best friend, you.

Fog of My Heart

I ran away from people just to be alone,
Simply because of the hate I'd been shown.

Trying so hard to hide my heart, my hurt, and my pain,
This only caused my heart to be surround by fog and rain.

I didn't care, I only wanted to hide my heart away,
From all the people who'd steal it, only for a day.

Until I realized it wasn't people who were this way,
It was me, and I found I really had nothing left to say.

Finally I let my heart out just for it take a brief jog,
And I told it to stop when you touched it through the fog.

So I asked you why feeling is bleeding,
Also why is it that bleeding is believing.

There you left me bleeding, believing, and crawling on the floor,
Wondering what every single person has to be so deceitful for.

And now I am bleeding, and broken, and torn all apart,
Because you went and shot me through the fog of my heart.

Dangling

If anyone told me they planned on killing the things inside me,
I know they are lying, everything inside me already feels so dead,
All of my inner self is dangling from a string, it makes my courage flee,
The few things I like about myself dangling, suspended, it fills me with dread.

The catatonic state from seeing myself die from the inside out so slow,
It never ends, always plauging me, making me helpless to stop the fall,
I can feel the string fraying, everything I am slowly dropping so low,
It is only a matter of time until the string breaks and I become so small.

There I am, every sound is silenced, as I hear the string break,
I begin the freefall to my inner death, everything feels so surreal,
As I fall I feel something is wrong, there has somehow been a mistake,
I am no longer falling, someone has postponed the death, someone I can feel.

The screaming silence fills my ears, the silence of who I am,
Now I must see...who is this person who has acted so good and kind,
I look up to see a woman's figure, her essence brighter than any gem,
I feel her holding everything I am in her hand, her and I entwined.

Why has she stopped me from my fate, I also wonder how,
Surely she came out of nowhere, was it destiny or chance,
I curse at myself, letting someone save me I would never allow,
Still I know she won't soon let go, I can see her offensive stance.

Why do I trust her so completely, with the part of me she now holds,
It must be her eyes...or her touch...or how she saved me without hesitation,
Now as I realize why she did it, and why she is here, everything quickly unfolds,
She is the only one who ever offered salvation which somehow serves as a 
frustration.

So this is it, I hang suspended now once more by this woman I so adore,
I don't only love her for what she did but also for how well she does this,
Now I know I want her here, no, I need her here suspending me forever more,
The fact that I am dangling is one that no longer scares me, one I will dismiss.

Let It Out

We've all been there before feeling the pain,
Whatever it is from, we've felt the stab in our heart,
Is this pain normal? We ask hoping to not be insane,
Our mind asks the questions trying to tear us apart.

In continues to build, the pain becoming so intense,
You know that you'll snap soon if you don't make it through,
It builds to the point where you hold your breath in suspense,
Life sometimes gets so bad, nobody any longer belives in you.

Your eyes begin to fill with tears,
Your heart even painfully skips a beat,
You think of all the pain filled years,
You cry until the tears hit your feet,
Now finally you can let go of your fears,
And smile at everyone you may meet.

Now it is such a change from before,
When you don't know what you're fighting for,
And you don't know what you life is about,
Sometimes we all just need to let it out.

Deceiver

You told me your name but I wonder if it's real.
You told me you love me but is it true? I hope...
You told me we're forever but is that really how you feel?
Thoughts and fears like these make me wonder if I can cope.

You wanted me to love you, but I couldn't help myself.
You wanted me to need you, but from you I could not abstain.
Why do you mistreat me, love me only when you want then set me on the shelf.
You were my true love, now because of you I only feel hurt, fear, pain.

Now you say you'll never love me again no matter how long we're apart.
How could you fool me for so long into thinking it was real?
How many bridges have you built just so you can burn another heart?
Only now can I clearly see that your absence helps me heal.

I guess everything you see in me is not everything you need.
Hate me now for everything you stole from me without remorse.
Don't blame me, you're the deceiver, you with all your greed.
How could you ever let us get so hopelessly off course?

Now you feel the hurt, the fear, and the pain.
Because now YOU notice I'm everything you see.
Now you know you're the one standing in the rain.
Now you know I'm everything you can never hope to be.
Now you know to leave me you must have been insane.
Now when you beg for forgiveness I will ignore your plea.
