The Widow
Lying in bed with a broken heart trying to understand why I am the way I am
Looking to the right and staring at a blank wall with nothing to say
Looking to the left and staring at the pictures that once hung there
Happy faces and smiles from time shared gone bye
How do I escape the pain from not having you here?
How do I fill this empty bed where you use to lay?
I feel my throat closing as I try to breathe in the last scent of you
The sheets still hold the faint smell of us
How do I escape the touch I need so much?
How do I free my mind from the prison I sit in now?
Tears stain my red cheeks
Sadness grabs a hold of me
My breathing becomes labored
How can I get you back?
I stare at the ceiling the sun shines through the blinds
But all I feel is the pain of not having you by my side
Tell me how can I live in a world you no longer live in
How can I go on without you?
I will do anything to get you back
But I know the one place I cannot get you from is the one place you belong
I turn to the dark side of the bed and hold the pillows tight
Knowing in heaven you will be alright

Storms Wrath
Storms Wrath
Her heart breaks at his words
Crushing the red dried roses that were once hers
Leaving nothing but dark red broken petals falling towards the grass
As the she lets out a howl from deep within
Crushed by his hateful words of deceit
The stab wounds going deep in her soul
She goes blue like a chill from winter’s brutal cold
Pain freezing her every thought
As her heart stops beating so damn hard
Tears staining her face with marks
She tries to understand what came her way
Lost for words with nothing left to say
Falling to the ground, she grabs the wounds on her way
His words of hate, breaking her once beautiful face

Blue Rose
Blue Rose
She tries hard to forget the words that made her feel all alone
Her pulse speeds up trying to catch air into her lungs
Why did she allow him in her heart?
She knows he was dangerous from the start
She thinks of all the mistakes she has done
One after the other she tries to shake all the thoughts
The cruelty in his words
The lies he told
Made her feel safe within his embrace
She stares in the mirror at her face
Wondering who is standing in her place
She tries to remember the girl she once was
The way her smile and laughter lite the room
Her presence was something to behold
Or at least that is what she was told
Her eyes filled with tears
The smug of black that stain her red cheeks
Her heart has been torn out of her chest
She tries to breath out but her lungs forget
Slowly she falls to the floor
Darkness takes a hold of her and she is no more
She screams in pain but doesn’t make a sound
Death was the only escape she sought

Two headed Snake
Two headed Snake
Liar liar is all one sees
Tall tales is what thou repeats
No words of truth fall from thee
Just tales of lies thou sows and weaves
Spinning tales of deceit
Deception of how good to be
Making others wonder how thou can be
Manipulation is truly thy greatest masterpiece
Telling lies how great one can be
Twisting and turning people to fit the monster’s needs
Liar liar that is all thou will ever be
Today mine eyes were opened to see
The two-headed trickster dining at my feet
