A Child's Love

The love of a child so tender and true

It breaks a heart to see one feeling blue

The joy they bring to a persons world

Whether it be a precious boy or an adorable girl

Their laughter and smiles luminate through a room

What a gift God gave to us to create one in the womb

The gift of their life is such a gorgeous creation

What an impact they can bring upon every nation

Be tender, gentle, sweet and patient with them

Show them unconditional love and forever be friends

Be there for them when they need a shoulder to cry on

Lend them you ear when they need someone to confide upon

Maintain this relationship for it is one of a kind and unique

For when they are lonely or sad it will be you that they seek

I Lied

If I told you that you hold the key to my heart, I lied

If I told you that you are my life, I lied

If I told you that I want to spend my life with you, I lied

If I told you that I would die for you, I lied

You do not hold the key to my heart, but my soul

You are not my life, but my whole world and more

I do not want to spend my life with you, but an eternity

I would not die for you, but fight to the bitter sweet end

So now you see just how much you mean to me

Because you are my love, my life, and my best friend

Love's Cruel Tricks

A heart so tender left to its own demise

Only to be picked up by the devils creations

Tortured, angry, greedy and unkind souls

Play games, misleading and untrusting

The trickery, the unforgiving hurt and lies

The false love and the many temptations

Eventually making one want to fill their head with holes

The mixed emotions, uncontrollable lusting

Oh how it makes one call upon deaths grace

An amazing blanket of darkness and peace

To be taken from what they have labeled life

And reborn into a new dimension, alas

Saying goodbye to such a scummy, decrepit place

Temptation comes by and calls on to such sweet release

So to follow the call of the blade of the knife

Or possibly the blast of the gun, how exactly could one pass

Addiction

I find myself falling into this deeper and deeper... Harder and harder... I fall...
I fall until I can't hit the ground any harder than I have...
Until the world around me melts away... disappears...
Until the clouds above look like little cotton puffs pushed to the bottom of my pill bottle...
The pill bottle that holds the very contents of my poison... The very drug that keeps me
going day to day...
It's grip on me is tight.. Making me weak in the knees... It's flavor is sweet... I am
addicted...
This drug is like none other than I have ever tasted... Finding it hard to breathe when
ever it's out of my reach...
Going insane for just the touch of it on my finger tips or even resting upon my skin...
For the very scent of it filling up my nostrils... Running through my veins and awakening
my senses... I am weak..
The very thought... craving... need... I look forward to every second that I can consume
it's high...
Addicted to the addiction of loving it so... The pill bottle, my own heart...
The very drug that frees me and makes me feel clean of sin... Awake... Whole... Alive...
It's love... It's you...

Tomorrow

If I were to die tomorrow

Would you feel pain or any sorrow

Would you be angry, maybe sad

Or would you be happy, maybe glad

What if you missed me so very much

That you longed to feel my gentle touch

Wanting to feel my warm embrace

Or my lips upon your precious face

But please go on for quite some time

For I am looking upon you and smiling

And I shall leave you this task if you may

Please go on and cease the day

Think of me as I would think of you

As one of Gods greater few

Clay

Stressed, sick, in need of sedation
Finding it hard to feel positive sensation
My thoughts wander, my heart fades... Dies
Without you, it's torture, my soul quietly cries
Yet you enter the room, something is shaken
Feeling more alive, my happiness stirs, it has awakened
In your presence again I am one... I am alive
Though once you are dismissed, withering I am deprived
I seep deeper into the madness of my depression
It grows with fury, the thorns of aggression
One day with all of my insanity I will fade away
While riding into the dusk, on my winged horse made of clay...

Street Youth

There are children out there with nowhere to go

Who have to sit and freeze out in the snow

They are the next victims of the street

With nowhere to go but bad people to meet

They are like the dead who have been forgot

With no warm homes or proper food that is hot

Instead they get sucked into doing drugs

Or even transformed into terrible child thugs

These children once loved in a good home

Left out on the streets to live on their own

So tell me the truth, is this what you wanted?

A world of children whose thoughts get haunted

Haunted by abuse and their drugs illusions

By the alcohol and the phony delusions

That their dreams are nothing but hopeless

And their poor lives are totally wasted

You tell me what you were thinking

When saw one and could almost see their hopes sinking
