i have nothing to say today but that of sorrow. i laugh at danger but cry only in my soul. im saddned from what ive seen, where ive been, and whats been done. nothing can change it. yes, the past IS the past, but its real enough. burned into my memory is that of anger and frustraition. how to let go? i dont know. grief. tears. pitty on my soul.

on my heart.

shattered to pieces too small to reconnect. a bite taken from me. a missing link. no tape or glue strong enough to bondage. strong enough to love. intrested enough to care. i run to the cliff in my imagination over looking the ocean and watch the waves crash.

my heart crash.

sckethes drawn in realization of real terror. real horror. then framed and hung on the walls of my mind. i cant stop thinking about it. all of it. pain. sorrow. rage. all parts of it.

all parts of this world.

ive seen it a million times.... but still cant stop it. i see it. i remember.

it hurts to see the hurting.

im powerless. watching as a statue would. not moving. not volunteering. i cant move. it cant be helped.

i cant help it.

nagging at my concious. tearing of my heart. can barely hold myself up to hold them up.

to hold you up.

wings are what i need. to fly out of here. needing the serinity of free falling. take me out of here and heal those that i cannot help.

heal you.

you broken world. you continue spinning, but is it the right way? a river flows down the mountain. finds the easy path, but you. world. you climb the steepest part only to fall.

you fall.

and im sorry, but i cant catch you.

it hurts to see the hurting.

Hide

Running out of time 

running out of breath

watching time pass by

completely scared to death

finally start to realize 

the reasons for it all

you never reached your potential

but now youve come to fall

i see you standing at the foot

of the ladder of faith

and on your face i see that look of distraught  and no peace

you shall come to realize 

the meaning of it all

you posess the strength required

to overcome this call

a call into darkness

it wants a hold of you

and i see you strugle

as you reach the crossroads of what to do

but its only in the darkness

that light can shine through

looking up at the stars

counting them aloud

trying to visualize a face

of someone youve made proud

i look into your eyes

and scream into your heart

we stand on broken ground

from the earthquake that broke this world apart

i guess you never found a star

that you could call your own

'cause you lock your door 

and cry all alone

unlock the door

let me in this place

all thats hung on the walls 

are pictures of shame an disgrace

let me in to rip the frames apart

and throw them into the fireplace 

that burns in your heart

deep in your eyes, i see the fire that glows

and yet you are so cold and alone

a friends presence; something youve never known

no one to give a shoulder when you cry

no family or friends really care

no one has loved you as time passed by

so you stay behind those locked doors 

crying all alone

but i stand at your window 

bidding for you to come home

grant it, that you should open the window a hair

i shall come in,

a letter; ill be thier

ill give you kind words

thats what you ask

ill be your key

to free you from it all

thats all you need is freedom

from the things that tie you down...

but pitty will not make a sound.

My Rose

You took it away.

every petal off this dieing rose.

leaving me with only the thorns.

you blew them away.

all the seeds of my love.

scattered them in the hurling waves of the ocean.

i am afraid.

afraid that i cannot start anew.

afraid that these roots are fastened to you.

you pulled it away.

drug all the vibrant color from me.

what was deep red,

as the blood of your heartless body,

is now gray.

you drank it away.

the water that gave me life.

the source of my strength.

you led it away.

the sun.

the light that gave me hope.

you ran away.

my purpose.

inspiration.

gone.

now i wilt under this cloud.

you left me;

this dieing rose.

i mourn apon your grave.

Coat

i take of this coat. 
this coat with stains of blood and tears. i give it to you. tucked along with all my fears.  
my pain is eased. my spirit set free. 
i see a new world, as i open my eyes. things are more vivid now. a beautiful suprize. 
i cant believe i was missing this.  my scences are revived. 
things dead in the past are new and alive. 
take that coat and burn it. and then let it be. 
all youll see now, is whats really supposed to be; whats really me.

Bottles

I walked into a room, 

you were standing there

your hands were soaking wet,

but you didn't care.

bottles were on the shelves,

the shelves were on the walls,

labeled with a name, 

and "for when they come to call".

i glanced at you, 

you were looking back.

you knew these were tough times for me, 

and you wouldnt let me forget.

i saw a bottle with my name,

i asked you what it meant.

you said that inside were the tears i've cryed,

each time i had to repent.

i wanted to take the bottle, and smash it on the ground.

but i didn't. 

i looked at it and didn't make a sound.

I thought about all the times you hounded me, 

for the things that i did wrong.

but i thought about how you knew what was best for me, 

you were right all along.

I know i should go back to the good way things used to be,

but i struggle with that, 

you know its difficult for me.

things with me keep getting more intence,

and i know that my life is at expence.

But i just want to stay right where i am now,

i will have to learn my lesson, eventually, somehow.

in the mean time i know that you'll be waiting for me to fall.

You'll be in the room, 

with the bottles on the shelves,

and the shelves on the cold dark walls.

and maybe next time i enter, 

my face will be wet and red,

and i'll be in the center,

holding myself up by a thread.

But you can hold me up whenever that thread breaks. 

and you can save the tears from each time my heart ached.

For now i hold it in,

and don't seem to have a care,

but when i do come to call,

i know you'll be standing thier.

Still For You

you let me down - tore me apart - look at me now - this broken heart - i thought we were solid - now were a mess - we gave it our all - we gave it our best  -- now i dont know where to go, where to turn, what to do - no matter what comes my way, my thoughts and feelings come back to you -- you lead me on - said it was love - it was so wrong - we just dont belong - you walkd away - let out a sigh - it was easy to let go - you just walked on by -- now i dont know where to go, where to turn, what to do - no matter what comes my way, my thoughts and feelings come back to you -- its been a while now - since we gave it up - i still dream of your smile now - man, im so torn up - looks like youve made it - you walked out fine - you went on and left it - the pain is all mine -- i dont know where to go, where to turn, what to do - no matter what comes my way, my thoughts and feeling come back to you -- always to you. my love is still for you.

Salvation

I was walking down a path of destruction 

when i closed my eyes.

i bowed my head in shade of the sun.

the dust of the empty road blew in my face.

and my footprints were blown away without a trace.

where im from, washed away from my soul.

i re-opened my eyes; a whole new world to behold

the dirty path gone from my sight, and in view were flowers of all colors shining wet with dew.

the light from the now shining sun; so bright leading the way.

I now walk the path lead by the Son.

salvation was mine that day.
