My Final Goodbye

My Guardian Angel,
If I could get a warning,
Before God came to take me to Heven,
I would wake in the morning
Right about seven; 
Get down on my knees to pray
And then I would wake you. 
Knowing that this is my last day,
I realize what I've always wanted to do.
Looking into your eyes,
With my head on your chest;
I have never been good at goodbyes,
But I let you know that I feel truly blessed;
I have cherished these years.
Before I fade away into the sky,
I will wipe your tears 
And tell you "bye-bye".

Playing God

This place is so cold;
Frost-bitten by your heart.
The lies and games are getting so old;
I'm done letting you rip me apart.

The way that you play God
Makes me uncontrollably nauseous.
I know now that your actions were fraud;
Guess I should have been more cautious.

Just because you think you know what is best
And you are used to having things your way,
Does not mean that you are a welcome guest; 
You are the reason he chose not to stay.

It is not your place to try and decide
Which road would be better in the long run.
Your guidance has been pushed aside;
Stop trying to live your life through your son.

Withdrawn

Why can't I hate you,
Like I hate myself?
Why can't I break you?
It didn't even make you flinch,
When you tore my heart into pieces,
Like it was nothing.
Why don't I deserve your love?
Am I not worthy?
How can you sleep at night,
Knowing I am somewhere, lying alone,
Shaking from withdrawals?

I am an addict and you have cut me off...

The End of Us

Why did you do this,
After our first kiss;
Take it, then leave me
Behind in a sea
Of tears?
I didn't deserve to be treated this way.
Every fool will have his day.
Your's will be coming
And don't try to come crawling
Back to me on your knee.
You are not worth my time.
Your love was nothing more than a mme\\ime;
Mute and fake.
My heart was at stake,
But not anymore.
In the end, 
I smacked that stupid grin
Right off your face,
As I left you alone,
In your own little place.

Empty Letters

Sorrow fills my soul,
As I gaze into your eyes.
My heart is an empty hole,
That used to be filled with your lies.

Those three little words still make my knees shake
And I melt from the taste of your lips.
I pray that our love was not fake;
I would die at your fingertips.

All that I have to give belongs to you;
My heart, my body, my soul.
Without you I don't know what to do;
Your bitterness has finally taken it's toll.

Painful Misery

I feel like I could die;
My body is shaking;
Every breath I release is a sigh;
My head is aching.
I'm an addict and you have cut off the supply.
These withdrawals are like hell.
Even though I continue to try,
Only time will tell.

Life Is Like

Life is like a warm summer day;
Full of obstacles and delay.
Like is like a summer past;
No single moment will ever last.
Life is like some winter snows;
It has its high points and its lows.
Life is like a winter sky;
Beautiful, until the day you die.
Life is like an autumn wind;
Chilling you through 'til the end.
Life is like an autumn moon;
Foretelling of something coming soon.
Life is like a spring rain;
Giving you something to gain.
Life is like a spring child;
Always smiling, always wild.
Life is short,
So live it tall
And God will see
You through it all.

Your's, Master

People look at me like I am insane.
Do they not understand the pain?
I love it when you abuse me;
Use me and watch me come back obediently.
I will never allow myself to be free;
Kneeling in front of your, my Master, is the only place I wish to be.

Love

Love is wonderful,
Like a baby's birth.
Love is scary,
Like a child's first day of school.
Love is worth
A million years.
Love is like a growing toddler,
Always there, but not always merry.
Love has it's ups and downs,
Weighing you down like a million pounds.
Love is crazy,
Some days hazy.
It can break you
Or remake you.
It can be a prize,
Until love dies.
Carry it with you
Like a precious jewel;
Someday it could be used
As a sacred tool.
Cherish it forever more,
If love comes knocking
At your door.

A Deadly, Sinful Game

Some days
It just seems so hard to breath,
As if the world is reaching out
To get a firmer grip on your throat.

Now sit back and take a note.
Listen as I shout;
Getting the response I wish to achieve,
As it all falls into place.

You are growing scared,
But I do not stop.
You will see my pain
In which the world has caused.

I have paused. 
I yank hard on your chain,
Hearing your neck pop
And your vision is impaired.

LISTEN!
I shout louder,
Getting my point across;
Making my pain known.

It is finally shown.
You are the cause;
A coward.
The blood glistens.

My pain is gone,
It went with you.
You were a pawn,
In this game for two.

I played and I won.
Victory is mine. 
Now the game is done;
I've made my sign.

Now when it feels hard to breath,
When the world has you on your knees,
Begging for mercy
And you plead, 
Know that my pain
That I held in
Was caused by none other
Than a sin
Made in the game...

I have nothing to gain...
