Tad

You was the love of my dreams.
With you my dreams came true.
 But everything is not as it seems.
I was always so very blue.
 There were times I hated to come home.
My love became a obsession.
 There were times I felt so alone.
That left me with many of questions.
 So many times I hated you.
There where times I wanted to kill you.
 All I could see was just us two.
You did not stay true.
 You asked of me way to much.
I gave you everything you asked for.
 My soul you did touch.
But left lost and at war.
 You where the love of my life.
And now you are gone.
 But you were my wife.

Heart

I see a darkness in my heart.
A anger that is very great.
 What else of me do I have to part?
This can not be my fate.
 What is child abuse?
That leaves you with so much hate.
 But leaves you with a great bruise.
Even where you can not find a mate.
 And leaves you with nothing but booze.
I just want to strike out. 
 Buddy you let me down.
I just want to scream and shout.
 Buddy you left me so alone.
You said you would protect me.
 But told me I left you.I truste you would be there for thee.
But you left me to flee.
 And now you hate me?

Buddy

He was twelve and I was thirteen.
We were best friends.
 How we use to make a scene.
I thought to the very end.
 We knew what each other were thinking.
I protected him he protected me.
 That was how strong our linking.
In adulthood you turned to flea.
 You left me sinking.
I remember how we use to play.
 When we would fight and you knocked me down.
But me, I never thought you would betray.
 I believed you would always be around.

Haunted

What awakens me at night.
And puts a scream on my lips.
 But leaves nothing in sight.
Yet leaves me so wiped.
 But scares me in the night.
And leaves me so hyped.
 What makes me so mean.
When I feel differently in my heart.
 Why do I stike out as it seems.
And can not make a new start.
 I just want to scream.
Why did you leave me crying in my heart. 
 Knowing this was no dream.

God

God where were you on a Sunday afternoon,
When your clouds were oh so fluffy,
 Were you waiting for the right opportune.
Saying everything was just duffy.
 Does a child praying for help count,
Why God did you ingnore me.
 You allowed him to mount.
Could you not see.
 Did you say oh she does not count.
Come here he said to me.
 Do you know how babies are made.
No Daddy. 
 God why did you not come to my aid.

Brother

I stole his bottle,
 We were less than a year apart,
but mom sure did cuddle.
 But he did break my heart.
He went to war,
 We had sworn a oath,
Came home changed to the very core.
 There was no room for future growth.
I lost my bro,
 But not to any damn war,
I am so proud to say he's my brother and with pride i did glow.
 I lost him to a whore.
But he is still in my heart,
 She can never take my memories or love for the the one I call Buddy my brother,
I keep hoping for a brand new start.

Buddy

I was thirteen and he was twelve.
We where the best of friends.
 I would laugh and say remember when.
He would say to the very ends.
 Teresa came and changed the times.
You did not even take the time to lie.
 Oh if there were ever crimes.
I just want to die.
 We grew up and I called you mine.
Never thought you would leave me.
 Guess I thought I had all the time.
But you turned to flea.
 Do you remember when.
Often I cry.
 You never even said goodbye then.
