so please knock me unconscious
just to be in the...

Death laughs at me as he steals my grandfather from me
while I plead emptily for him to take me instead
yet I fail to realize I'm...

Meant that I would have...

today I apologize to you
today I apologize
for giving you my worst
for performing below my best
for making empty promises I can't keep 
and for banishing people from my life
out of anger, out...

take the...

Her soft blond hair, a delicate dance upon my skin,
Whispering secrets with its feather-light touch,
Teasing my senses, enticing me to surrender

The Spring Queen....... 
Delicate blooms 
Fresh and new 
Emerging colour too 

Her dress.....

Like industrious days of...

 worn with pain

She walks along the highway
wrapped in a blanket of hazy fog.
Ticking you can hear the clock,
the girl walks faster, her back to the moon.
the road stretches out to no end,
empty, all is engulfed in darkness.

Laying in the bed beside you, early morning light, 
cascades into the window banishing all signs of
