Echo Is All Around Me

In the darkness of all expression
Lives the pain I'll never forget
it's a hunger ripping beneath me
my soul deep with regret

This echo  is all around me
It tries to enter my head
The voices of illusion
telling me that I am dead

How do I find my doorway
With no guidance by my side
You were all that I needed
You were my morning light

Darkness is my best friend now
And the room is cold as ice
This feeling of loneliness
that surrounds me
Is my punishment of life

Making No Sound

Daddy help me

For I can't see,

through all this pain

Heartache  and misery.


In my eyes

I can see

Mummy is crying

Is it something to do with me?



My heart is beating

Making no sound

I can still here her

Laying on the ground.


Daddy please stop!

I can't take no more,

As I turn to the police

Charging through the door.


Were all safe now!

And in different homes,

Mummy's getting better now !

But still I'm scared go home.

Devils Eyes

Can you remember the first kiss
That stole your heart with a twist 
Can you remember our hopes and dreams
I never dreamed it would end like this

The devils heart is unspoken words
How her evil has in golfed my world
Hacking away replacing love with fear
Taking away our first kiss replaced by tears  

Fiery pits, flames on high 
Red as rubies, like the devils eyes
Rocks and larva ,symbols of life
Bow down never, ill not die

Heavenly Tear

Tears fall from my eyes,

As your tiny hands fall from mine.

A few days is all we had with you,

It seemed a full life time.


I dreamed how we’d played,

In the sun-snow and rain.

How you would grow into a man,

Making me proud everyday.


The dull sound of the alarm,

As doctors come rushing in.

Angels flying above you,

Heavenly children sing.


I see you leave your body,

And glance down at me.

There’s a sudden realisation,

No pain-your totally free.


Now my son in heaven,

Safe as safe can be.

Heavenly tears are falling,

From him-two-you-to me .

Can You Remember

Can you remember the first kiss
That stole your heart with a twist 
Can you remember our hopes and dreams
I never dreamed it would end like this

The devils heart is unspoken words
How her evil has in golfed my world
Hacking away replacing love with fear
Taking away our first kiss replaced by tears  

Fiery pits, flames on high 
Red as rubies, like the devils eyes
Rocks and larva ,symbols of life
Bow down never, ill not die
