INTERSECTION

 Red lights hurt my eyes

As I stop at the intersection

Waiting to proceed

But not knowing how

RAINBOW SKY

There's a rainbow sky overhead

In my town

As I stare out my window

Trying not to feel down

No rescue coming

Just another house on the street

You don't know I am in here

Their destructive plan complete

DROWNING

Drowning

In a sea of loss and sadness

You made a hole in my heart

I felt it as soon as you left

Spewing insults as though

We were discussing the weather

I always knew you were too far gone

In this delusion

To come back to me

I always knew that you would leave me

Drowning

UP HERE

 From up here, I can see you

But you don't know I am here

Wanting to join you

Wherever you are headed

From up here, I can feel you

Purposeful and calm

Not knowing that just a few stories above

A lonely woman awaits his return

From up here, I can wish for you

A friend to confide in

But alas, I remain alone

You never knew I was here

MANATEES

 We really need to go pay the manatees a visit

Find out what happened to the world we once knew

Replace the balls of conformity with balls of freedom in their tanks

So they can write a different future

A better future

For the world we once knew

SUNSHINE

 You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

But when I look for you

I only see the clouds

Weeping with rain

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

Why do you leave me 

Drenched with disappointment

With every complaint

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

I look for you in skies above

As I wait here

Overcome with pain

EMPTY HOLE

My life has been an empty hole

That I have tried in vain to fill

With masks and tears

Wilted flowers and broken feelings

I tried to fill the empty hole with you

But you knew you could escape

You just turned around and walked away

Leaving me empty once again
