I have lost my ambition
And my soul is awry
I am in such a condition
That I cannot cry
Let me down at least once more
I have not yet had enough
Displace your anger onto me
Let me take each blow
One by one
Until you feel better
And by all means
Desert me
Because as long as you’re happy
The world is at peace
My red,
My blue,
My green,
My yellow,
My violet,
And my orange
Swirl into
Black
The beaches, forests, and the snow
No matter where you go, you’ll glow
Although you aren’t always home
You will never be alone
You are in my heart and prayers
And God will always be there
If you dreams ever deminish
Know that I will help you finish
And no matter what you do
Remember that I love you
Home is where the heart is
Your heart is my home
And I will try my hardest
To make you my own
You are my only
Of this I am sure
I’ll take all of your lonely
And conjure a cure
From our smiles and laughter
And all of our pleasure
We’ll live happily ever after
Forever and ever
Oh, how you are sought
And yet you know not
I’m not impressed with your fanciness
And everything you think you got
I can do without all your spouting at the mouth
And I’d really prefer it if you stopped
I’ve been doing fine just biding my time
Waiting for love to come and find me
But if it’s true and you’re so caught up with you
Then maybe you should just let me be
My heart and my mind are racing
And my lungs just can’t keep up
The butterflies are spastic
And they’re about to fuck shit up
You make the moon shine as bright as the sun
You make the rain feel warm against my skin
You turn ferocious winds into a calming breeze
You take my world and make it mine again
The plants are lush everywhere you might look
And yet Autumn leaves fall from the trees
And everyone has the whole weekend off
And decides to spend it with their families
The ocean is bright blue and clear as glass
The only thing bluer is the sky above
People greet each other with such big smiles
And instantly feel unconditional love
You take my world and make it mine again
I only hope that all of these changes stick
You can be the co-pilot of my life
In other words, I’ll call you my Sidekick
We weren’t star-crossed lovers
More like star-crossed contact
We loved one another
But lost parts of ourselves from impact
Then we separated
And continued on our paths
But our travels were askew
Our true lovers couldn’t match
She found her real soul mate
But because of me
Their collision wasn’t direct
The way that it should be
She fell in love with him
Then they separated as well
She’s headed for the sun
A burning, dismal, lonely hell
I am saved from this fate
Only because I am content
Wandering void of love
Until my life is spent
A Poison Tree
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I water’d it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears;
And I summoned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,
And into my garden stole
When the night had veil’d the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch’d beneath the tree.
Our infernal love
Left burns, scars, and rashes
I now see in your eyes
A sunset of ashes
Lord Jesus, comfort me
Send angels to come for me
Let them hear my lament
And hasten their descent
Remove me from all I resent
I feel as though my life is spent
Show me to that golden gate
Where all angels and saints wait
Relinquish me of my fate
And let me rest somewhere great
I think my death is overdue
Jesus, let me start anew
I will bid my life adieu
And I will go to be with you
I will give the Lord my pain
And let Him take me away
Far away from here
And eliminate my fear
His name I will sing
And I will give him all my praise
If He could do me this one thing
And take away my pain
I will confess all my misdeeds
And pray for my enemies
I will give up all my greed
And donate to charities
I will lead my church in prayer
Pray for every soul that’s there
And I would never be the same
If He would just take away my pain
Although life may change
My devotion will remain
If His love could fall on me like rain
And just take away my pain
