A Little Late Faith

Is it true, is it real?
This emotion that I feel
It makes me glow
This emotion I must show

Look, see me smile
See me run mile after mile
You ask me why, it’s childish, won’t last
But that is because of your painful past

You need to see my love
Let go of the mourning dove
See the suns bright shine
Take a risk, step over the line

Let it free your heart
Let the experience start
You need not to worry
This love you need not hurry

See? See? You can love like me
See the love show, flow, just let it be
Have just a little faith in fate
Although it may be a little late

You can be happy
Even call this love sappy
You know now something I always knew
Just how much, yes it’s true, he loves you

I Wait

I wait, alone in the cold, so long
Wait for you to meet me here
I know that to you my heart belongs
Please my love don’t disappear

My love and hope keeps me warm
Through the dark and solemn night
But can hope keep away the storm
Can it show me the dawn’s sweet light

For once my hope dies
My bodies cold and so my heart
I finally see through your lies
Oh those evil lies so smart

Let the darkness swallow me
Keep the ice and stone defence
I won’t fall again watch and see
Love, to me, is so past tense 

Frozen and now so dead
From this coma I won’t wake
Never a lie to me be said
For me and my hearts sake

Try to help me feel again
Try to get my blood to run
Never heard a quest so insane
To my heart the damage done

But maybe, with some help
You can save me from this dark
Pull me to the light, for me will you help
Warm my heart with your spark

Her Pain

All alone she cries
Tortured tears she hides
In the dark her hope dies
Where are her hearts hidden guides?

You see her but don’t notice
Her face hidden in her darkened hair
In her pocket she holds a sacred lotus
You laugh, you avoid her, but you don’t care

All that she knows is that flower
The only thing that had ever been given
In that flower she holds her life, her power
She thinks she does wrong, her actions unforgiven

She takes from the shop
But all she takes is a single fruit
She has no parents to tell her to stop
She lives in a house full of dispute

Returns home to an empty house
To a cold family so long broken
 Sits there in the corner quiet as a mouse
If only she had the courage to be outspoken

At this girl you look, you stare
Now you see her silent pain
You see one of a pair
You see the smile that has such a strain

To her you now speak
You teach her right from wrong
You see just how she became so weak
Now you teach her a happy song

See her smile she has a new life
You saved her from the dark
You freed her from that heavy strife
Now you see her love begin to spark

She feels so alive, so real
She knows how life should be 
It was you who released misery’s seal
Now watch her fly, soar, so light, so free

Dont Judge

Hey have you ever thought 
Look at her she’s so fake 
Well maybe that’s why she’s distraught
Maybe she is trying to hide her mistake

The next time you look and say
Look at him he is pathetic, so mild
See his bruises, the ones they gave today
Tell me then that he is like a useless child

Well you see that girl with killer heels
The one that acts so loose
Well she hasn’t got a good deal
She goes home to her mother’s abuse

You know nothing about the kid
But see only the acts he commits
Don’t see the father from which he hid
Nor the scar from his father’s drunken fits

So don’t tell me you don’t judge 
When you see the young girl with a bump
You think she’s a fool, and hold a grudge
But there is a reason she tried to jump

There is more to a book than a cover
There is pain cause from others
There are crimes committed by a lover
There are different reasons why people suffer

Caged

Broken by their word
you try, oh, try to fly 
you are but a caged bird
who looks longing to the sky. 

Kept under lock and key 
your freedom denied 
oh poor little birdie 
so many rules you must abide 

Where will you hide 
when there a four walls cutting your flight
your wings left untried
will your soul survive this blight? 

She broke your bonds
little birdie now fly free
to her words your heart responds
Fly free out of this doomed city

Healed through her love
set free into the blue sky
now soar high, go above 
fulfill your desire fly, oh, fly sky high

The Pain You Cause

Don’t you see it’s unfair so mean
To split a child’s peaceful family so
Have anger at what our world has been
But never kill; never commit an act so low

No excuse for the endless lives lost
No justice can ever be too much
Because you need to understand the cost
The tears and despair that was left by your touch

But you still act mighty and high
Though people suffer by your act
You make this the last goodbye
Because of the humanity you lack

Don’t you hear the screams and cries?
The terror, despair as you topple this tower
But you know not the person who dies
Do you think that gives you right to this power?

You love no one nor do they love you
You cause misery with this fear
But this is your life, this is what you do
You never notice the peace that is near

Everything you touch turns to ash
Well done you’re on the news again
You made more sorrow and now you crash
You leave in your wake a horror so insane
