The Sullen Sky
Coats of rain clouds there
No swaying braids on the skirt
Idle butterfly...

One dark day you came,
With heavy pack on your back
As your tears roll down....

Only Choice
To the back or to the front

On my forehead or under my chin

To my temple

Out of my mouth, 

Or in....

The Words Are There
The words are there
But, they only mean so much 
They do not say how we feel
Nor, do they keep us in touch
Moments will go away
The scenery then drifts apart 
All that will remain
Are pieces of two broken hearts...

Of a Melancholy Tone
Of a melancholy tone 
She is through with you 
Look at what you have done 
And the madness you've put her through 
Just consider her gone 
You manipulated her heart 
Always the one to torture
Right from the start...

She Sadly Walks Away
She sadly walks away
Because you never had a heart 
There was no love
Right from the start
She gave you everything 
But, you threw it down the drain 
When those walls close in
You will only have yourself to blame...

You Were Never There
You were never there
Nothing but pure neglect
A child was born
A moment that you seem to forget
Nothing but a dark cloud
Bitterness sadly rears its ugly head
Just take accountability
And be there for the child instead...

When the Message Is Spoken
When the message is spoken 
How many of us really listen? 
Awareness is everything 
But, we sadly live in a oblivion 
We search for truth 
And yet, we come up empty 
Darkness surrounds us 
Filled with corruption and misery...

Conversation Has Sadly Drifted Away
Conversation has sadly ran dry 
All hope is fading 
We barely speak to one another 
Girl, why are we masquerading?
We need to open up
This eliminates the bad air
Obscurity has reared its ugly head 
These dark clouds need to disappear...

Girl, Why Do You Stay With Him
Girl, why do you stay with him 
And make an excuse 
Haven't you had enough of his mess 
Along with all of the abuse 
Time and time again
You have sadly, sat there and drowned in tears 
Too much time has been wasted 
After all of these years...

She Cannot Trust You Anymore
She cannot trust you anymore 
You have hurt her deeply 
Willing to always help 
But, you have tortured her completely 
Everything is thrown out the window 
Fun times have sadly become a memory 
There is no sunshine present 
Nothing but complete misery...

Opportunity Will Pass You On By
Opportunity will pass you on by
As your life sadly slips away
You are just drowning in despair
Filled with darkness everyday
Frustration is mounting
As flames continue to burn
There is no one for you to blame
Nothing but a tough lesson for you to learn...

You Have Sadly Thrown Your Life Away
You have sadly thrown your life away 
You are drowning in misery 
Poor decisions have been made on your part 
As a result of hanging around bad company 
You need to wake up
And take your life back 
Raise those low grades
Just move towards the right track...

Pure Negligence
How can a parent not care for their child?
Nothing but pure negligence on their part 
Sadly, there was a lack of supervision
Right from the start 
A dark scenery on display 
With lots of sorrow
With all the bitterness on hand 
There may not be a tomorrow...

You Often Find Yourself In a Trance
You often find yourself in a trance
Begging for another chance
She just wants you to go away
There is nothing more for her to say
You played with her heart
Right from the start
Nothing but torture and pain
It is difficult to see the sunshine through the rain...

Ashes To Ashes
Like a moth to the flame,
I long for the pain.
Just to feel...real.
As many times as I'm seared,
I just keep coming back.
Broken and scarred past all redemption,
There is no salvation for the damned...
Falling deeper into my tortured soul,
The pain burns so good......

We Are Only Trying To Help You
We are only trying to help you 
You are surrounded by darkness 
Keep messing around with narcotics 
And you will drown in sadness
Things will disappear bit by bit
The walls are caving in 
The little child needs you in his life 
Your situation appears to be acrid and grim...

Heading Down a Corruptive Path
Heading down a corruptive path 
Will put you in a lot of trouble 
Your life will sadly become a dead end 
If you do not move on the double 
Darkness will rear its ugly head 
And the walls will come closing in 
Quit hanging around bad company 
Make better choices my friend...

For Anything
I would love to know 
to understand
reasons

Is it the color of sunsets
lapping of water 
earth

Is it for companions
no expectations 
existence

Turning pages in creations
The art flashing by
movement

Or is it guilt
your reason why 
To stay and leave no one behind...

Darkness Sadly Storms On In
Darkness sadly storms on in
And you find yourself sitting in a trance
All opportunity has passed you by
You wish you would have another chance
But, you have hung around the wrong crowd
And taken a few steps back
Your life is slipping out of control
You have fallen way off track...

The Truth of the Matter Is
The truth of the matter is 
There was no love to be found 
It was all a facade 
You cannot lift your feet off of solid ground 
Things were said that may have sounded good 
But, those words simply have no weight 
Leaving the situation idle 
Is just simply another way to procrastinate...
