Being Apart Only To Be Together

I’m so tired of being here
Drowning away tear by tear
They keep you away from me	
Why does that have to be?
You’ll always hold a place in my heart
They’ll never be able to break us apart
And my wounds they see
Deeper and deeper they tear into me
Then I see your face
Frown by frown its all erased
Smiles and happiness you bring to me
Together alone well never be
For you have me and I have you
Bonded together with superglue
My x’s and o’s are overdue
So be patient because I love you

B-Bop

As I lie here all alone
Im a king without his throne
everything was taken from me
Why did it have to be
I live a life that i regret
Im following in your foot steps
You fed me the poison that ruined my life 
you unknowingly stabbed me with a knife
You saw me falling but its to late
For i was allready disaters date
I drank your poison all night
And thats when i fell out of site
Ding dong its the demons you sent 
Withering alone my life was spent
Then came a angel nicknamed b-bop
She said your withering has got to stop
She hugged me and we flew away
To start over with a better day
For angry i was and happy i am

Haubrey

A rose amongst thorns
A devil without horns
Whispers and wonders are all I see
Hoping you'll always be with me
The pain we feel
Very deep and always real
Strength and compassion brings us through
Shades of gray are now turned to blue
Depression fuels our light
Never able to fog our sight
Truth and happiness are brought to us
Finished the journey of loves long  must

Help

I am a no one a nothing
I'm here alone my wrist it starts to sting
Hey knife your my friend
When will my dreadful happiness come to an end
I have a problem wore than drugs
Forget your kisses forget your hugs
You see me smile when I bleed
For I'm a person that's in need
I miss my razor I miss my knife
I ask for help will you save my life
Yes I will you wait and see
For by saving you I save me
You need help and so do I
I'm drug free and that's a lie
I try to quit and so do you
But are addictions stick just like glue
All we can do is stay strong
So lets set aside are differences and get along

Breaking Away From the Shadows

You see me and I see you
Our friendship is one that's very true
We met a time ago 
Back when life was very slow
When I left I saw you cry
Bloodstained tears I wanted to die
All summer I thought of you
I lived in my shadows cold and blue
I wanted to give up then you appeared in my mind
“Wait a few days life’s always timed”
I went to school and waited by the door
You walked out and I withered no more
I wanted to smile
But it took me a while
As you helped me I tried to help you
Trouble came fast and true
You left from red to blue
Back to my shadows all so cold
Tired of crying I broke the mold
I wrote to you and one came to me
I’ll be waiting for you just wait and see

Trust In Love

trust in love because its all you've got
trappes alone i am not
i didnt find love it found me
with patience comes love meant to be
rushing leads to disaster, which leads to hate
i have both but that's my fate
i can wither and i can cry
but to do so is to lie
for love is true and it set me free
so be patient and you will see
