A Biker's Journey Home

As the biker rides by,

Eagles soar up in the sky.

With his engine howling at the moon,

You know he’ll be home soon.

                                        

His Harley shirt on his back,

And the courage he doesn’t lack.

He left his love behind,

And another, he will never find.



The wind blowing in his hair,

As the people stop and stare.

His bike reflects the moonlight.

Oh, what a beautiful sight!



As the eagles disappear from the sky,

The angels all fly.

He’s one that we will miss,

And his love sends him, one last kiss.



In Loving Memory of Kenneth J. Adams

Gone But Not Forgotten

You thought that we didn't love you
 And that we didn't care
But if only you knew
 That we would be living in this nightmare

So you decided to take your own life
 How could you be so selfish
You were only thinking about your afterlife
 Not about those you left behind feeling anguish

First, you tried with an overdose
 But you didn't succeed
Thank God it didn't leave you comatose
 But we didn't know that you would proceed

Then you tried by cutting your wrist
 So you would bleed to death
But you didn't realize you were an immortalist
 And would have one more breath

Finally you succeeded with a bullet to the heart
 How could you do it
You thought you were being so smart
 But to us you were being a hypocrite

What about those you left behind
 Don't you care about our pain
How could you be so blind
 Not to see that we would go insane

Our hearts will break 
 Til we see you again
But there's no mistake
 You may be gone but not forgotten

My Best Friend

Depression is my best friend
 Because he's always there for me
Every time I need him
 And he never turns his back on me

When I need somebody to talk to 
 I can always count on him to listen 
And he brings me up
 When I'm feeling down

He's there to hold me
 Every time I cry
And he's there to make me laugh
 When I'm having a bad day

I don't know what I would do
 Without my best friend
I probably wouldn't be here
 If it wouldn't be for him

Love

It's not what you think it is
It's a pain in your heart
That never goes away
And leaves a scar for life 

You give somebody your heart
And also your soul
They take it from you
And they break it 

Then you're left with no heart
And no longer a soul
All you have is a broken heart
And a body with no soul  

You're left searching
For that special someone
That can fix your heart
And give you a soul 

But you find no one
Worthy of fixing your heart
And giving you a soul
Because your trust is gone 

Love is all about trust
Without it, you have nothing
Love is also about pain
With it, you learn 

You learn to be careful
Of who you choose
Because you trust no one 
For fear of a broken heart

The Stranger Is Me

When I look in the mirror
 What do I see
Eyes of hate looking at me

There's a stranger I see
 Standing before me
That I do not know

I stand alone in darkness
 And what do I see
Something that scares me

The eyes looking at me
 Have this darkness to them
That you can see through their soul

That darkness then turns to light
 And what do I see
That a stranger is me

You Made a Promise

You made a promise never to hurt me.
But you grabbed my throat and choked me.
You said it was my fault because I made you mad.
You didn't know why you did it.
And promised  it wouldn't happen again.
I believed you because you promised me. 

You made a promise not do it again and you did.
But this time I was carrying your son and you squeezed a little harder.
You got scared and left. 
You didn't care if I was hurt or not.
Once again it was my fault because I made you mad.
This time you said you was sorry and promised it wouldn't happen again.
And I believed you because you promised me. 

You made a promise never to hit me and you did.
This time you bruised my eye and the side of my head.
You got scared and was gone for two days.
You didn't care about how bad you hurt me.
You said  it was my fault.
How could it be my fault?
I didn't make you hit me.
Again you said you was sorry and promised that this was the last time.
But this time I didn't believed you because you lied to me before. 

This time I made my own promises. 
I promise  that  you won't  hit me again.
I promise that I won't believe what you say.
I promise that you won't scare me anymore.
And this promise I make to you.
I promise that you will never hurt me again because I'll be gone.

Suicide

I lay on the floor
In a pool of blood
My razor blade by my side
Not realizing what I have just done 

I'm in and out of consciousness
From the blood I've lost
What did I just do
Did I just cut my wrist 

I had to have
Why else would there be blood
But why would I do that
Why would I take my life 

To take away the pain
The pain of my broken heart
And the feeling I have
That just won't go away 

As I lay there
With a smile on my face
Waiting to take my last breath
He finds me 

This time he's in pain
The same pain he's caused me
Now, I finally get the satisfaction
The satisfaction of hurting him

You Don'T Know Me

You think you know me
 But really you don't 
I'm not what you think I am
 And I'm not who you see

I'm a stranger to you
 And also to myself
I no longer know who I am
 Even though I thought I knew

I'm not what I seem
 Because I hide behind a smile
And pretend to be something I'm not
 By living in a dream

If you really knew me
 You wouldn't like me either
Because I don't like myself
 As you will soon see

Look deep within me
 So you can se through my soul
Bet you didn't know there was hate
 See, you don't know me

Living In Hell

I live my life in Hell
 Nobody knows
Because I dare never tell

I hide behind my pain and sorrow
 By putting a smile on my face
And looking forward for tomorrow

I live in a darkness
 That some would call depression
But I call it sadness

You see my heart was shattered
 By someone I once loved
And the pieces are all scattered

There's a secret that I never tell
 You see that darkness I live in
I refer to as "Living in Hell"

Story of My Life

My life is not what it seems
Nor am I what I seem
I don't live the life you think I do
Instead, I live the life of a dream

See my life was taken from me
By somebody that said he loved me
But he only loved himself
And I was just too blind to see

My life went to Hell from then on
Wishing every part of me was gone
Why would God do this to me
Why not take my life and be done

Instead, I suffered with the pain
The pain of a broken heart
And a soul  I no longer knew
Why couldn't we have just stayed apart

Because he had a problem
And that problem was control
He had control of my life
And also of my soul

But no longer does he control me
Nor does he control my soul
My heart is still shattered
But once again it will be whole
