where are the things? he knew so young.
the taughts i gave and memories saved.
he always knew that i was strong.
and was the one right on his side.
no time to stray ,no time for games.
his mind was changed , oh what a turn.
he's totally gone his head is cracked.
why did he live me in the dark.
things he did i never knew.
"so i taught".but one day to crack he flew.
i stood by him threw thick and thin.
not knowing what he had within.
"a hit i need" his only phrase.
almost to the top ! my mind he blew.
what do i do my seed is cracked.
where did they go the things i placed.
the morals,the values, and all was said.
as time passed by , his life stood still.
all these years he has been cracked.

Why Don'T You Care
Why dont you care the way I feel,
Most time oh yeah! my world stood still.
Why don't you care the way I look,
is It because the steps I took? why dont you care!
are you here? but not really there!
The love I give is true and rear,
The one you give is so unfear.
Why !or mabey you just dont care.
Why dont you care the times I cry,
Is it because the fear of lost?
Or is it my hopes have lost.
Why do I feel so alone, lost and insane?
Why does my heart bears so much pain.
Why don't you care who catch the rain,
And watch the birds on my window pane.
Why don't you care to sing a tune
The only song my ears may learn.
Why don't you care to see me smile,
A kiss goodnight can go a mile.
It's fair to say no one knows why,
Only time will tell as days pass by.
