Run

I'm running
Running for my life-
Faster and faster I run
Because the killer has a knife

I keep running
Faster than him,I hope-
There he is again
Now he has a rope

He is still in my sight
No matter how fast I run-
I can see it in his hand
The killer now has a gun

The madness drives me crazy
The madness drives me insane-
There must be something I can do
To rid me of this pain

The killer is here
My life runs before my eyes-
As I see the flashes of my past
I realize, It's me that I despise

The face of the killer
It's that, that frightened me-
I should have known this
Because the killer, the killer is me

Loneliness Ii

Loneliness, creeping into my mind
Peace is something I cannot find.
I toss and turn every night
My dreams would give you such a fright.
My whole life seems to be falling apart
I wish I could go back to the start.

Loving You-Valentine's Day

Hearts and flowers on Valentine's Day
Heart shaped candy help me say
I love you in a special way
Because love is the reason for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is a special time
For songs to sing, for poems to rhyme
A time for love, a time for bliss
A time for hugs and that special kiss

Your love is special in my heart
I truly hope we never part
I truly hope that now you see
Just how special you are to me

It's hard to tell you how much I care
If you need me, I will always be there
To wipe the tears when you're sad
To make you happy when you are mad

Know that all these things I will do
Because of the love I give to you
The time grows nearer for what we've said
The time grows nearer for us to wed

But then comes the pain and sorrow
And the sadness we see er'  tomorrow
Gone is our son we wish were here
This is the reason we shed every tear

"Keep positive and keep your faith" is what they say
In our shoes I wish they'd wake each day
Thru love and strength it will all be real
Thru love and strength we will finally heal

My love I am so thankful to you
For loving me but that's not all you do
It's because of you that I am still here
It's because of this I love you so dear

Ryan My Son

Ryan my son, when i visit you
I am glad to be so near
Ryan my son when I visit you
It hurts so bad to see you there

Ryan my son when I visit you
I see where friends have been before
Ryan my son when I visit you
The gifts from friends I do adore


Ryan my son when I visit you
I think of memories I want to keep
Ryan my son when I visit you
The pain I have, it runs so deep

Ryan my son when I visit you
I speak with quivered words
Ryan my son when I visit you
I hope my words don't go unheard

Ryan my son when I visit you
I can't see you, but I know that you are here
Ryan my son when I visit you
The grave you're in
Is filled with all my tears

So Lost Without You

I want to touch you
I want you to see
I miss you so much
I want you with me

My life is so empty
My heart feels so cold
I wish you were still with me
I want you to hold

Why you were taken
I ask each and every day
But no one will answer
Because I forgot how to pray

I hope you are happy
I hope you are safe
I wish I could hear you
And regain my faith

Come to me Son 
And just whisper my name
Tell me you are happy
And I will be the same

My life at this moment
Is empty and dark
The light that once shone
Has gone out in my heart

That's all for now
I have to believe
Eternity with you in heaven
I hope I will achieve

God's Plan

God had a plan
I did not know
One rainy night
He was called to go

To heaven he went
To fill Gods plan
One so wonderful 
Only he would understand 

A guardian Angel
My son became
To watch over his mother
And keep me sane

I see your face
When I look toward the moon
The thing that keeps me going
 I know I'll see you soon

God take care of my son
You took him away
He was only eighteen
He should be here today

I'll never forgive you
I'll never know why
You took him away
You let him die

It's not fair
It's not right
You took him from me
On one rainy night

Please forgive me 
I can not pray
To a god
Who took my son away

I miss him so much
Everyday I cry
I try to understand
But I'll Never know why

God please forgive me
Release me of this pain
God please forgive me
It's you who I blame

Shall I Hope

Shall I hope?
Is it safe or is it right?
Am I hoping for nothing
But a black and empty night?

Hope should make me happy
Hope should make me dance
Because I  just keep hoping
For me. not a chance

Why does hope keep leaving me
Shaking in the darkness?
Why does something so good
Keep making me feel so helpless

Shall I hope to hope?
What difference does it make?
Fate, she will soon find me
And that will be a big mistake

Does fate regard my  hope
Does she even care
Am I shooting for an answer
That simply isn't there

What sort of hope leaves pain
I thought hope should leave joy
Why should I dare to hope
Cause it's just some demons ploy

I do not know, dear people
How can I begin to dare
To hope for something 
That simply isn't there

Shall I hope to hope
In a hope that leaves me dry
Oh people,To hope how can I dare
To hope in hope? How can I?

Lonliness

In the dark I am alone
Without my wife, without my son
I wish to die but then I cry
I cry, cry and cry
Till the tears in my eyes all run dry

So Lonely

So lonely are the nights
So lonely are the days
So lonely am I
In so many ways

So lonely are the months
So lonely are the years
So lonely am I
I cry so many tears

So lonely is this house
So lonely is your room
So lonely am I
I hope to see you soon

So lonely is your bed
So lonely is my heart
So lonely am I
Why did you have to part

Time Don'T Heal

I  don't believe time heals everything. I think it helps. After awhile you won't cry about it all of the time, it won't consume your thoughts anymore but you do do get better. Time don't completely heal everything. You do get better. You will laugh. You will even have a lot more "better" days. But time don't heal everything. The hurt will still be there, you just learn to live with it. It will never go away. It's still deep within your soul but it will never completely heal. It still makes you cry when you think about it too much. You will have those moments when your heart heart hurts really bad. No, time don't heal everything. It's a scar that never goes away but never completely goes away. Time will not heal my everything.
