My Place

I almost had it this time

Had it right in my hand

Almost reached the top

Before I drowned in the sand

I got caught in my rut

The one I thought was dead

It snuck up right behind me

Shot me straight through the head

I've never gotten so close

Never had hopes up this high

I never should have tried

Thinking I could touch the sky

Now we sit here and think

As I count blades of grass

Me hating myself

Watching time slither past

Helpless voices of old

Crumbling stones turned to dust

Sightless towers of ice

Overflow, broken trust

Endless deserts of hurt

Silent breeze through my hair

Moon watches in pain

As once more I don’t care

This is where I go

This is my secret place

Nobodies ever here

No one ever sees my face

Sad pool staring back

One reflection in the night

Wind crying through the leaves

Tree shines blue, in darkness light…….

Sorry

I’ve got this image of me
Floating around in my head
But I can’t seem to breathe
Can’t seem to picture me dead
Look straight into my eyes
Trying hard not to cry
I didn’t want it this way
As I finish and start to die
I didn’t want to say it
I cried thinking it through
Cried about what I’d say
And whom I’d say it to
Please forgive my wrongs
Please let me be your friend
Please don’t let me die
Don’t let this be the end
Please tell me you love me
I need it once again
I beg you not to hate me
Please forgive my grievous sin
Please tell me you’ll hold me
Please tell me you’re alright
I beg you not to leave me
Crying, fading through the night........

Innocence

Tree shade to tree shade
Gravel path under sun
No blood have we seen
We pray the angels have won
We pray for love and for warmth
I pray for a key to this cage
Vision clouded by night
Bringing on silent rage
Home crumbling to dust
See the lake, close your eyes
Feel the peace, shed your tears
Hold me close, heed my cries
Beautiful sky looking down
Staring up, thoughts of pain
Everyone’s here, so alone
Show me laughter through the rain
Take my hand, teach me joy
Teach me love and hope and grace
So faraway, I need you now
I need a glimpse of my angels face
But eyes are here in my head
They hurt and cut me deep
They laugh and rip my veins
Letting acid poison seep
Trying so hard just to stop
Tearing straight through my mind
Face buried in my hands
Don’t want to see what I find
Screams painting a picture
Little bit at a time
Habit turns to rut
Rhythm melted with a rhyme
Moonlight all around
Come with me, let us dance
Sunlight shining through
Falling, shattered, my last chance
Didn’t know what to do
Just like each time before
The trees kind sympathy
Finds me dead upon the shore
And as my soul, sad and empty
Passes by you sitting there
I see your smile, know you’re safe
And so I gently fade to air…….
