Things are Not well. My withdrawal is bad. Still numb
and hallucinations are ongoing. Hard to talk On phone.
I'm at home.
Can't stay calm.can't sit still can't get out I don't know
what's real.always shaking not eating or sleeping.
Scared of things others might know like whole World
kidding and jokes on me.
Insanity not kind to me so tired of nothing but pain
wish for relief from shadows all round me. Life of pain
and joy is scraped away
Never saw it ending this way.
Never give up. Never knocked down
never turned away just turn cheek
So of all the things I've done and seen
The trouble I made in my home town
I own it all with no regrets and as I stood
I will fall not weak. Strong till spark exits me.
the devil is watching my cryptic charm my HEALTH IS GONE.
withdrawn from this world just a HELPLESS PAWN.
Eternally burning while standing in this acid rain.
unbelievable pain death is flowing through my veins.
addicted to this pain I am going insane.
because my words are profane and look down on with disdain.
I am not humane, God knows I can never be saved.
Because I gave into this pain, my road to hell has been paved.
I am just a depraved individual a soulless criminal.
My life deplorable and fill with agony.
Why I am I being tormented.
Where did you come from?
Is it possible to know where you stay?
And how do you feel when you take away our lives?
You took away our grand parents
who would have been useful into our lives.
Please feel pain to us
who still need to eat and drink,
not like you whom we fear to face.
Remember you make us to suffer,
and to feel a lot of pain when we loose our beloved friends.
We believe that it's you
who never want people to live in joy!
But why?
Here where we are,
we quest our selves about where you stay,
and who's your bosom friend?
Please we request you to be kind
so that we can eat and breath.
Death you make us crazy though we are not!
does he know what he doing does realize the pain he will release
step by step move by move he walks towards his demise with a rope in his hand and intent
in his mind
i wonder the thoughts he thought i wonder if he still walks along us
invisible to the naked eye
for many say may god have mercy on his soul
could he have been saved would he want to be save
it replays a thousands times in my head picturing him walking to his death
like a shadow in the background i can scream and i can shout but never can i reach him
for he is already gone
disappear from my life gone from his family
destruction is what he left behind
memories of your face may fade
but like a livid scar on my heart the pain and anguish stays forever
Her last breath
If you would believe
She died twice
There was no pulse
Not even a heart beat
Yet she exhaled a gurgling air
Her last breath…..
They took her by ambulance
They put her on a machine to breath
She had no brain now, she has no life now
She’s not in pain now...
Why would they do this?
Cause more pain for me, give me hope
To watch me hurt even more
Her last breath…..
I took her off that machine
So she could breathe for free
She’s not in pain now...
I took her home where she belonged
To die once more in my arms
Her last breath has gone.
In my arms is where she belongs…..

What caused him to create this madness?
No one will ever know.
Why is the only question that will never be answered.
The pain that was caused that night still aches inside me.
What caused him to create this madness?
Why did he have to take my best friend away?
What made him point the barrel at her and his family?
He will never know what kind of pain he has caused.
What caused him to create this madness?
He took two lives that night.
He has no remorse for the things he did,
He simply chuckles when we mention his family.
He has created the worst nightmare possible.
What caused him to create this madness?
Groveling down the stream of blood
Lay into the feet of the dark lord
They grunt, they cry, with pain until they die
A maggot in their tomb for each and every lie
The lord writes the destiny of those with black heart
Pain and pain it always is and the hearts rip apart
The pleasure is all across the dark land as it seems
They path is pain and pain is path no choices for deem
The lord is here and the lord is here the followers they scream
The bodies lie in the pond of blood wishing it was a dream
The old man walked down the street
Remembering what he wish to forget
The scars on his body match the scars on his heart
All the friends that fell stained his mind with death
All the blood that spilled stained his hands with killing
Born to kill is a tattoo on his heart that's won't wash away
But deeper with in, past his friends, past the blood is the secret
The secret that every soilder has, but no soilder says
He can see the other bodies mixed in with his friends
The other bodies that he shot, that he killed, that he left to rot
Those are the faces, the spirits, the souls that truly haunt the soilder
So the man walks, further and futher into his memory
So the man walks, further and further into his pain
Finally his pain is gone, he has found peace, he has found nirvana
His body gets cold, his mind blank, but his expression is that of a smile
Death gripped him, but peace of mind filled him
He could finally rest in peace, he can finally forget The pain he had, and the pain he caused
The war was over
A space out of time.
Mother’s dying.
tick tock goes the clock.
My breath stops.
I must remember to breath.
Love does not lessen grief.
A space out of time.
tick tock goes the clock
yet no relief.
I must remember it’s a gift to cry.
She can not cry.
I want her to stay. I love her so.
tick tock goes the clock.
A space out of time.
Don’t go. Don’t go.
Yet, there is no relief from her pain or mine.
No lessening of sorrow can loving her gain.
Not one pain free breath can my heart give.
No tight embrace or whispered prayer can ease her.
No tick or tock can keep her here.
A space out of time.
In this place out of time, I hold her dear.
Rainbow are like ships floating on the ocean.
With this we know, God promised never to flood the earth again by water. He never said buy tears.
Since your gone that’s all there is, I can’t stop them.
But when I look up, in the sky I see you and I, flying like doves in the sky .
The pain go away and the tears stop.
Until we start slowly fading away like clouds the sky. The pain rage, tears flood my eyes like a river .
I look back up to see you once more and to say goodbye
You fade away, like a rainbow in the sky.
Them my heart knows how to say goodbye.
Because you are with the angles in the heaven sky.
The angels of heaven rejoices for one of them return home
to heaven holy land, after life on this evil world.
She now rest in peace beside our father in heaven which welcomes her home.
With open arms and no more pain can she feel just love and peace once again.
The angels blow there trumpets to welcome her home to this great land.
Even if we was not ready to say goodbye God called his angel home to live in his great land.
Where the day has no night and the sky no clouds just a peace and beauty of heaven holy land.
Where she can forget the tears she cried and the pain that had been felt from all her years.
She is not alone but with the other angles that has gone on
before her and made her home.
Now she watches us and waits for our return, to heaven’s holy land where we can fly with her side by side and God’s
might land.
