Lone Wolf

I am the warrior, who has travelled far and wide,
Searching for the truth,
The light of good protects me,
But darkness blinds me,

I care no more for this life or this world,
For I cared once ago,
Yet I lost her,
It left me broken,
It left me beaten,
So I decided to stop caring, 
As it will always lead to misery and sadness,
For the ones I love have now all left me, 
Never to return,
Such a cruel fate,

So I travel onwards never looking back,
A  Lone Wolf searching for a purpose and a place to call home.

A Broken Man

Darkness takes me,
I am the fallen one,
So much pain I’ve caused,
To ones I love,
To the ones I care for,
Yet do not cry for me, 

So many people I’ve hurt,
I tried to care for them,
I tried to protect them,
But with each passing day I lose faith, I lose hope, I lose my mind.

Should I stop caring?
Should I just disappear?
Should I lie down and die?
So in my death I may bring peace to those I have hurt,

The Crying Man

As time comes to an end,
I lose my self in thought,
Thinking of my life,
What I’ve done,
I remember the ones I love and the ones I lost,
I feel them close; guiding me through my life,
Yet never to return,
Lost and broken as my tortured soul tries to hold on to the last trace of life and to the ones I care for,
Beaten and broken I try to survive and hold on,
Yet the pain still burns me,

I am a lone wolf left to wander,
Never stopping always moving,
Yet I still bleed for the one I lost, the ones I loved,
A life full of pain and suffering,
Yet I still care,
But why as I know it will only lead to pain,
For nothing in the world will ever know peace until the end,
So when I sleep I forget, this is when I no true peace,

Reborn

Reborn

Sadness in my voice,
Tears in my eyes,
I lost my mom,
She will never return,

All hope lost,
Then you came from the sky,
You picked me up,
You held me close,
You delivered me from my pain,

Now you guide me,
Now you protect me,
You saved me from my nightmare,
Told me to never give up,

You are my angel,
You are my love,
You are my life,
You saved me from myself,

The Lost Girl

My Angel remain strong,
Though things seem hard,
In time they will come,
Live each day as it comes,
Never dwell on what has happened,
For time will heal your wounds,

Remember there will be someone guiding you and protecting you,
So you need never feel alone,
Sleep now and forget,
For in your dreams you will see your true potential,
And no that your will shall never be broken,
Sleep now and never forget the ones, who truly love you,
Even if you don’t feel the same,

The Fallen Angel

The angel has lost her wings,
Fallen to the ground,
She tries to get back up, but always gets knocked back down,
She is starting to lose faith,
Feels all hope is gone,
So alone she is, lost in a nightmare never to wake,
An empty shell, so powerless and helpless, fearing the end,

Yet her will is still strong,
She needs support, she needs a guide,
So I will follow never to close and never to far,
Just a presence, watching, protecting and guiding,

When the pain becomes to much and all hope gone,
Call on me and I’ll be there and make the pain go away,

I know how you feel and I know the pain you suffer,
As I too have felt your pain,

I am here to help,
I’ll teach you to fly again,
Angel fallen from the sky,
You shall fly again,
For time will heal your wounds,

Angel, stay strong and keep on flying,
Never stop and never look back,
As in the end you will find peace,
Now or later,

Angel Never Give Up,

The Voice

In my dreams I hear a voice,
It beckons me,
Yet when I stop and listen all I hear is silence,
I lay awake lost in thought as time begins to slow,
As each time I drift to sleep,
The voice beckons me,
Yet again I only hear silence,
So I wake,

As I lay awake
Reality seems to shift,
As I lose consciousness.
 My mind begins to race,
I see a face full of life,
I hear laughter,
I sense a heart so pure and kind,
I wish to reach out and hold her,
Yet still all I see is darkness,
I call out,
Yet all that returns is silence,

Then again I wake
Still no answers I have,
I only wish to see her
I only wish to hold,
I only wish to lay with her,
Then maybe I can rest,
And find peace

But as days roll to weeks and weeks to months,
Still I lay awake each night,
Hoping a praying to see her,
Yet each time a fall asleep
Again I’m only met with darkness and silence,
It’s maddening,
I lose hope to ever sleep,
I lose hope to ever see her,

So each night I stay awake my body begins to weaken
My mind begins to slow,
 I begin to wither,
Maybe in death I will rest and see her again.
