I Miss You

I miss you
I miss your laugh
I miss your warm smile
That breaks out 
Of the Gloomy Clouds of Melancholy

I miss how your gentle eyes
Would put a smile on my face
I miss how your voice pulls
Me out of the endless
Parade of Misery and Woe

I miss your loving arms
And how they would clear
The Fog of lonesomeness
That once clouded
My Desperate heart
I miss the amount of love we shared
But now, as you lay
In Eternal rest, I have these
Words to say…
I miss you…

Frozen

I saw you the other day
You were walking
With you’re new
Girlfriend

I wanted to speak
But my heart started
To crumble from
The overpowering
Weight of Sadness.

You were my whole world…
My everything…
Without your crew of Love,
My body is just an
Empty vessel wondering
The seas of Darkness…
My soul is still trapped
In that nightmare day…

My heart has been ripped
From my body and it has
Been following you every day…
When will the Pain stop?
When will my soul be MELTED AWAY?
From this frozen day?

Its More Love Than Lust

Like endless clouds in a clear blue sky
He slowly drifts into my mind
Shifting my cold depressing day
Into happiness with a single wave
I can never sulk
He makes me happy, totally not like the Hulk…

It’s more love than lust
He makes my every needs a must
His eyes break through my cloud of isolation
Now my heart will not go back into Desolation
Bandages of affection have healed my broken, shattered heart
Cupid has shot his arrow…or it’s more like his dart.

The Angel

Time turns into dust
     As I sit here, my hands in cuffs
        Days turn into chains
               As I lay hidden, full of pain
                     Months come and go
                          As I’m forced to lay low


 My body feels dead
     As I desperately search for a bed
        Endless threats silence my ears
             As I struggle to cast out all my fears
                 My mind has crossed to the Darkness inside
                      Knowing that my survival has been denied



I can not escape my wall of loneliness
      For part of me has left God and His Holiness
         My body is weak, my throat dry
             If I had tears, I would’ve cried



I’m giving up, I can not go on
      But then something new occurs at Dawn
           An Angel appears at my side
              With a happy ending to help build my Pride

Chains

She can’t see the light
Even though outside its bright

The darkness has eaten her inside
So sad, her soul’s already committed suicide

Lockin’ herself in her room
She silently tries to accept her doom

I can’t get in to help her
Instead I’m forced to watch her suffer

She runs away from home
I know she wants to be alone!

Break me outta these chains
Please come cure my pain

Can’t you see we’re diein’?
Just help and stop your cryin’!
