Everything

Your beauty intoxicates all you encounter, 

Every new beginning, 

comes from some beginnings end. 

Every time you kill me, 

I am born again. 

Every time you close that door, 

Another door is opened. 

And every time you say goodbye, 

a different word is spoken. 

Every time you look at me 

my back is facing you, 

And every time you ask to see me 

I'll have something else to do. 

Every time I join your game, 

You're not playing fair, 

And every time I really love you, 

I pretend that I don't care.

Blind

Yet you fail to notice, 

This is your blunder, 

You've had a rough time, 

Though now it is over, 

But yet you continue clinging to what is left over, 

And in doing this your depression grows deeper, 

Pulling you apart at the seams, 

Causing you to unravel and fall to you knees, 

Pondering desperately: "How much worse can it be? " 

To ease your mind of your terrible burden, 

You bargain with Satan (as if he cares), 

Giving you a release, in turn for your soul: 

That you believe tarnished and not worth much at all, 

When all of your friends have been with you till now, 

But here comes the crossroads up ahead, 

They give you a choice: "Stand tall or fall down." 

You have your beauty and charm, 

Your intelligence and grace, 

Good friends and your health, 

What more does it take for you?

Waiting for undying love.

Wanting, 

lusting, 

to be held, 

to be loved, 

to feel warmth, 

to feel your beating heart. 

Wanting to be sheltered from the cold, 

heartless winds. 

Falling into invisible arms; 

into an abyss of love. 

Wishing, 

hoping, 

that my desires will be filled; 

my desires of loving warmth. 

Wanting to be held, 

comforted, 

loved. 

Dreaming of passionate embraces, 

of tender kisses, 

loving words, 

romantic nights. 

Waiting for undying love.

Silence, Emptiness, And Confusion

Silence builds an awful wreckage of a girl
It feeds on loneliness and creates a void
Gray shadows haunt and torment and torture
A teenager is stricken and destroyed

There is no sound of laughter or happiness here
The little one has thrown in the towel today
Somber, melancholy moods decay the soul
It is futile to hope and dream and pray

Emptiness builds a home in this woman
In this girl, this child where hollows have bred
A deepening sea of nowhereness consumes
And eats away at every connecting thread

Confusion feeds like a savage inside her,
Leaving nothing considered worthy remains
Destined to walk through life less ordinary
Alone, exiled, different and disdained.

So Long For Now

You look so peaceful lying there
With your hands folded upon your chest.
You look like you are sleeping
But you are at eternal rest.
So Long For Now.

Not a hair out of place,
Your make-up nicely done,
A beautiful smile upon your lips -
For now you are with Absalom.
When someone special passes on
It does not mean they are gone,
Though they are no longer with us
Their memory still lives on.
It hurts so much to lose a friend -
Especially one that is trustworthy and kind.
Nan Legge, you were that special friend,
A rare and special find.
Nan Legge, you will always be with me
In spirit and in mind.
You will always have a special place in my heart
Forever until the end of time.
Nan Legge, I will not say "Good-bye".
This is not the end.
So I will just say, "So long..."
Until we meet again.
