Hell Is For Children

I am so tough,
You taugh me so much,
 I was never some damn cream puff.
But I still feel your touch.
 Oh Dad I loved you so,
How could you hurt me like that,
 You even threatened my bro,
You left me so flat.
 You stole my childhood,
Destroyed my life,
 What made think you could.
In my heart you put the knife.
 But made a enemy and knew you would.
Oh how I wanted to hurt you.
 I wanted you to feel my pain.
But I never could fill your shoe.
 It was all in vain.
I will die wondering why,
 I was your favorite,
All you did Dad was let me cry.
 You gave me such a fight.

Tad

Our loved turned out to be so destructive,
I believed I had met the love of my life,
 Oh God you were so seductive.
For me you were my wife.
 When God took you home,
I thought I would die,
 I was left so alone.
But I did say goodbye.
 In my dreams I see you,
I feel your touch,
 But I awake and am so blue.
I miss you so much.
 I will always love only you.

Raindrops

I see you there in your garden of dreams.
 Pruning back the weeds of time.
Shading your eyes as you look at the stream.
 Humming a lovers rhyme.
I see you there by the garden pool, where yesterday.
 We ambled, we rambled, we kissed.
You loosen a tear to long in your eye.
 But clings to the smile on your face.
The tear drop falls into the pool.
 And the circles tremble and race.
Out of the pool by the syphousing sun,
 your tear found it's way to the sky.
And found passage on a cloud that lingered passing by.
 The cloud kept it's date with the God's.
Standing here in the rain.
 The God's kept their date with me.
Your tear drop fell upon my lips.
 And soon I will be with the.

Tad

I made my love a promise.
To love honor and cherish.
 That was always my wish,
It was always on the top of my list.
 There is no greater gift anyone can give.
When God took you home.
 He left me all alone.
What greater gift can anyone give.
 Except for the very life they live.

Dreams

Day or night.
 I've got dreams to remember,
like a lighthouse burning oh so bright.
 I hear a song.
That makes me yearn and long.
 I sense a smell.
And I am off onto a hill.
 Over looking the lights of Phoenix.
Oh what a tale I could tell.
 Love can be so sad.
With the setting sun casting a red glow on my lovers face.
 I hear myself calling the name of Tad.
I am sorry for the past.
 But nothing in this life of mine could last.
I have dreams to remember,
 and they are all about you.
I know I will sit here for the rest of my days with dreams of you.
 Making wishes that can never come true.
It is a tragedy for me that the dream is over.
 I gave you the best of what I had.
I feel so very sad.
 I have dreams to remember,
and they are all about you.
