Forever Unseen

Everything was set and plans were made
The two Musketeers would become three
The day you finally came
But it all went wrong in the blink of an eye
No heartbeat to hear but they promise no blame
Sometimes life is just this way
Beyond devastation, utter humiliation, 
Left to die inside alone
Then my first Musketeer, my best friend
Couldn't hold on anymore and so began his end
Watching the suffering with hands so tightly tied
My heart was exploding but nowhere to hide 
I watch in horror as all I loved died
Taking with them all of me
But the tears I nightly cried
A lone Musketeer cannot make it alone
Her horse too feeble as her shack is no home
So I sit and linger these torturous days of agony alone
I see their faces and know they wait for me
Why must I endure this anguish here without them?
And remain in life’s shadows 
FOREVER UNSEEN

Sad Boy

Such a sad boy
With sparkling eyes of blue
Mournfully full of pain
For the love he once knew
Torn apart by life and love
Left to forge another way
Not knowing how to simply breathe alone
Much less go on another day

I remember a time of difference
In this sad boy with eyes of blue
The world was all his at his feet
Back then, love wasn’t something really true
Those eyes held a sparkle
A happiness and surety walking tall
With all the girls falling over him
It was always funny to watch him turn in retreat

Now life has had its evil way
Of turning his heart sour
Telling him he’ll forever be alone
STOP LISTENING TO THOSE WORDS OF GAME

You are a rare beauty
Inside and out
You are my friend
Have always been, 
I have this to smile about

But when will my sad boy find his smile
Will it be soon or maybe awhile?
All I know is I am your friend
And will be here from now 
Until the end.

Empty

Broken, scared and left alone,
The chaos that still resides
Chills me to the bone.

My soul is empty
As my heart cries 
You left so soon
Without even a goodbye.

Empty and hollow,
Two things you should never feel.
Yet here I stand to attest
These feelings are all too real.

Time is said to heal.
But time is not on my side
For with each passing year
Another part of me dies.

So until I see you again
And can feel your loving embrace
I will remain an empty shell
Wearing this mask of a smile to hide
The tears I cannot erase.

Free Will Life

I once veered from the road less traveled 
And gazed upon the minion sheep 
Watching as they followed 
Their mindless paths 
My soul begin to weep 
For the endless torture they had unraveled 
Led by dictation 
Fed on tribulation 
Never once seeing 
An open mind equals an open heart 
I want to shout 
I want to scream and shake them 
As if waking them from a dream 
And tell them to realize 
The world around them is a lie 
Not what they are programmed to see 
But in this free will way of life 
Nothing is as it seems

Ctrl Alt Delete My Life

Shutdown, restart, blink and freeze
Why oh why can’t technology for once be a breeze?
Such simple commands, pressing start or enter
But you would think you were begging for a suntan
In the middle of winter

I rely on this pink box for writing and such
Not trying to command the world
That would be too much
But you would think I was looking for a new planet
With the rate of its speed
Come on, I paid good money for you to full fill my need

There’s a shovel in the shed with HP on the handle
Just waiting for the day
That I am over this scandal

Human Zombie

This disease has penetrated both flesh and bone
In this cold septic cell, I writhe alone
What I thought was a study on my sadden brain
Turned me into their lab rat and made me insane

They said the injections were safe without reverse action
But all they have done was leave me open to subjection
My skin is peeling, my sight is gone
My bones are so weary without help I cannot move along

A true human zombie I have become
As they watch behind a glass to see what they have done
Vowing no harm as they pass the key coded locket
Not knowing that this brutality was a ruse to fatten their pocket

Will anyone save me from this ghastly despair
I have no family, no true friends who care
Why did I ever agree to this game?
Oh yes the money, the promise of so much gain

All of it lies even without eyes I can see
This human mouse trap will indeed be the ending of me
So peel of the flesh, let them enjoy the gruesome play
Sprays of blood as like a rat I chew through my veins
Cannot see my bones but can feel that they show
How monstrous can one be to be so low?
I hear the different voices speaking so nonchalant 

I suppose a grave is already dug in a hidden potter’s plot
Cannot go on in this zombie life of hell
One more act…a spray from my jugular well
And pray my dissection will infect them as well

Always Have My Love

I close my eyes an see your face
It takes me back to a better time and place
You were still here and everything made sense
But now you’re gone and my heart is caught on that jagged fence
They say time heals but that’s just a lie
Because each day, week, year, another part of me dies
If I could have just one wish, one answered prayer
All I would wish for is to see you back here
I’m so lost and scared, a child lost and alone
When you took your last breath you didn’t go alone
My very core shriveled, my heart shattered to bits
Life as I knew it was now forever gone
In your eyes my strength did lie
When you passed that strength in me died
I lost my mind, I lost my way
It took years for me to find a broken path
Upon which I still remain
Today is your birthday 
Happy 78
Twenty three years you’ve been gone
But it feels like yesterday
I hope you are smiling down from way high above
And know without a doubt
You’ll always have my love

In Dreams She Cries

In dreams she cries where none can see
The nightmarish hell that brings her to her knees
She longs for a way to end the constant pain
The ghoulish abuse she endures everyday

She dreams of a life free of tears
Free of suffering she’s endured so many years
Try and try she searches for a way
To end this cruelty of life that has become her bane
With tearful thoughts she knows what must be done
Suddenly in her hand lies a loaded gun

This price would be to high she knows with a start
To wake to this would destroy her breaking heart
In dreams she cries for a love gone wrong
A vow made forever but now long gone

She awakes with a start, tears still stinging her eyes
Heart pounding, she runs so far from her home
Never stopping until she is so far away…long gone
She knows returning would end in a tragic end
She must keep running and let a new life begin

Months later she realizes her eyes are finally dry
No longer when she sleeps do her eyes cry
She is finally free, finally without pain
Her life her own, each day her’s to gain a new way

So finally she smiles without knowing why
But she’s now number one in her very own eye

Twisted

Darkness surrounds me but the sun is shining bright
In this land of twisted madness
It’s hard to tell day from night
When your mind is full of twisted memories
And a heart so torn you can’t get up from your knees
How do you escape, how do you get out?
Screams are all in vain
There’s no one to hear you shout
Crying until your eyes are as dry as the desert sand
You search and search for one kind hand
Three steps forward, kicked twelve back
The blank hole in your heart leading this attack
Try and try but you can’t keep up
Somehow nothing is ever enough
The rabbit hole is turning darker
More evil, insane, and rough
You’re in an ongoing battle
Just to stay alive
So like a coward you must run and hide
Stand up straight and mask and plastic smile
Maybe you can slip through to the other side
Where they hide the real smiles.

Angel Wings

I fell asleep on angel wings such pure and gold
But woke on jagged horns so rough and heavy
Such a burden to carry this heavy load
Heart shattered and broken
Voiceless with words unspoken
Nothing is ever as it seems
Living life on bended knee
Praying for an end to the misery
Endlessly searching for a brighter way
A path to life’s sunny day
The darken clouds, blow them away
To finally see the sun
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Stuck in this place
Trapped inside this night
Finally find a smile…I just might
And return to my angel wings and hold on tight.
With all my strength and all my might.
