no more sunshine to brighten my day
no more smiles along the way
lost now but memories
faded as a dream
as i am falling apart it seems
maybe life to you is better
as sit here wearing a scarlett letter
god is lost from me
far from my echoing plea
seem my life has lost its pose
seems my life is a wilted rose

you love all you say,
round ,beneath,above me,
find me then some way,
better than to love me.
me ,too ,dearest may.
o world-kissing eyes,
which the blue heavens,melt too,
i, sad other wise,
loathe ,the sweet looks dealts to,
all things-men and flies.
you love all,you say,
their for dear,abate me,
just your love,i pray,
shut your eyes and hate me,
only me-fair may

She is beautiful, in the divine eye of forgiveness
Dark, lonely like an owl gliding through the valley,
Scared, but not his victim she thought, when she was attacked in that alley....
Life mysteriously missing the joyous ingredient of love,
Marital strife feelin like poison ivy, freedom assured by my lord above
My beloved's love is eternal, not a memory, fogotten or lore
the lord made her beautiful, as she walks by, They think whore..
Not worth a dime some say, but always there when needed most,
Loyalty, faith I see this in your scripture, most holiest of hosts,
Love has so much pain to overcome, but too strong to succumb,
She was "free at last"... from the venom of the past,
My love is eternal on bended knee, saying "I love thee
"Witnessed by God, now you are joined with me, two birds forever free...

No words are left to say
when they have been spoken
no silence left to break
where obliteration bleeds
No eyes to glimpse a secret
when truth has been unsealed
no slumber thy to wake
where emptiness embrace

i'm quitting you again
because i want to
because i can
not so much to walk away
but to come back
and make up
from this little row
that we're about to have
i told you once
i'll tell you again
that i'm in love
with you
so this walk i'm gonna take
if not for mine
then for your sake
so you'll again be
able to see me coming
back to your forgiveness

I shan't ask the impossible
I certainly do not welcome any grand gesture
Awash in guilt, as I am, I can only refuse any extended hand offered
I have made my bed
It is a most uncomfortable one
Yet, meriting far less, it is a small price to pay
To be lain up in such a way
For I have crossed the final line
Where one may only go off the deep end
Diving from a cliff apparently seeking deserved oblivion
Finding no footing, merely sinking ever deeper into dark abyss
Well past the point of no return
To simply vanish
Forever banished
Without enough hope to even dream of rising
Never again to stand at that level embraced by love
Where you remain
...Goodbye my love

We traveled down this road before
a weathered time or two;
The circumstances differ but
the reasons are as true.
Yet nothing ever changes the one fact
that I love you.
From then til now
We've seen a lot
From what is good to
what is not....
Yet nothing mattered for you are
the only one I sought.
Through thick and thin
We walked the miles
with feet of lead and
hearts of smiles....
Yet it was cool because that I had
you for all the while.
Yes life is full of
daily games
but you will always
have my name....
And my love stays with you
the same.

He is going to walk away that is for sure
His things are packed and at the door
His memories are in the bedroom still
His watch tells him five minutes to kill
He turns around, open his arms just once more
One last time he hopes his memories will cure
She watched him packed heard his excuses
Knew it was not time for tears or abuses
But she felt the embers dying inside
Knew her heart was torn open wide
She saw him turn around and hoped
One last time she wish she could cope
One last time lasted all night and a day
Together they climb the stars in foreplay
Loved the clouds back to their linings of silver
They shook, they slept and loved every shiver
Each knowing that yet again they have lost
Like they have done so many times in the past
One last time they carried his luggage in
Unpacked and threw the wash back in the bin
They never made any promises just agreed
That once more grief their lives have freed
How long neither knows nor do they really care
This last time might be a week, a day, a month or a year

DIS HERE ONES FER YOU KID!
It intrigues me how people so easily can change their mind
people change misplaced anger into something suddenly kind
What the lady had said wasn’t proper nor was it called for
And no one ever wanted to put a woman in her place more
The lady seems candy type sweet but she can be lemon type tart
And then something or other dictates a dictum her heart
It must be, I imagine, that perhaps they misjudged me in the first place
And suddenly contrition turns them from gabardine into lace
Now I’m talking to you who didn’t have a right to insult me
But you got so angry over something I just couldn’t see
I was in a quandary with a query as to why you had done what you’d done
It was as if I were standing in front of you holding an Uzi machine gun
But now you’ve righted things as far as I’m concerned
Yet I don’t know if you were taught or if you really learned
You treated me as a lowly cockroach scurrying away from the light
Still I will live in hope you realize that what you did simply wasn’t right

You would of gave me everything you had..
You would of given me all your breath even if it was your last..
You put your heart in the palm of my hand...
But i just couldn't get you to understand..
You had your life, I had mine too!
We became the life, We had different views..
It was time for us to walk away...
Now im left to think, And so many things to say..
I wanna say I'm sorry..
I know it hurts..
I know that i should of put you first..
I put your heart, Up on the shelf..
While i was trying to find myself..
I know that things will never change..
I know that Im the one to blame...
But there's one last thing, I wanted you to know..
I loved you enough to let you go...
There was a time we had it all...
So deep in love, But destined to fall...
The longer you were gone, The more things changed...
And i knew we would never be the same...
I couldn't answer when you called...
I felt so big, you felt so small...
My life was falling into plan...
It seemed at the time i was pushing you away..
I wanna say im sorry...
I know it hurts...
I know that i should of put you first...
I put your Heart up on the shelf...
While i was trying to find myself..
I know that things will never change..
I know that im the one to blame...
But there's on last thing , I wanted you to know...
I loved you enough to let you go...
