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

THIS IS IT

 This is it - 

Your life is now

The movement, the mercies

The tears on your cheek

You need to begin

Before you can end

KILLING ME

 You will succeed

You will succeed in killing me

Doctors, specialists

Telling me I am beyond help

Too much weight gain

From the pills that stop me

From going insane

That help to block 

The pain of you

A heart attack?

Breath stopping in the night?

So many choices and

They have given up on me

You will succeed

You will succeed in killing me

LITTLE ROSE

 Little Rose, why do you cry?

Falling petals at the end of the season

Dream of living forevermore

In a heart, in a hand

Something warm

Instead of the cold

Dying in the cold

Little Rose, stop your tears

You had your moment in the sun

Before your petals disappeared

Before you meant nothing to no one

MISSING YOU

 I found myself missing you today

But I do not miss the games you play

Making me feel I am not enough

Meanwhile I try to act so tough

Inside myself my heart is crying

A part of me is slowly dying

I found myself missing you today

Then I turned and walked away

YOU DON'T KNOW ME

 You don't know me

All you know is what you've heard

You can't see me

I am far away somewhere better

And you can't show me

Why letting you in closer

Would ever be a good idea

THE BROKEN SPARROW

 The skies open up

God is crying

He saw another little sparrow fall

I dust off my wings

I can't keep myself from sighing

The broken sparrow, I stand tall

SHATTERED HEART

 Don't look at me  Don't break me This ghost of a person You will grow to hate me Disappear from my life Stab me with your knife And...
