LETTERS

Letters are written,
Written in blood;
Letters are written,
For those whom we love.
(They are) written with grief
And written with pain
Wanting some love,
And craving for gain.

Letters are written,
With many a furrow;
Letters are written,
Containing much sorrow.
Created with care,
For a loved one to give.
Blooming with love,
Is how I want to live.

Letters are written,
With joy and faith;
Letters are written,
Despite our wraith.
Wanting us to stop,
So we might suffer with him;
But when looking back,
He appears quite dim.
With the same old tricks,
And the same old lie.
Do you think yourself
As better than I?

Letters are written,
Not in hope of profit;
Letters are written,
So we would not regret it.
To rue the oath,
On which we swore;
To concede defeat
We have never before.
Through thick and thin,
Through blood and sweat,
To succeed, we try
And we haven't failed yet.
This was not written by me. This was written by my brother Nicholas Stamps <3

All this pain
How can you regain
What you gave away?

Tears rolling down,
Feel you can’t go ‘round town
After what you’ve done
You wonder, “What have I become”?

They come, they go
Don’t let your tears flow
Until at night when your all alone
You feel ready to die, but no one can know

The one is here, right now
But after all the others, you don’t understand how
Why does he love you?
Doesn’t he know?

How can you believe?
Isn’t it easier for him to leave?
Now the tears fall down
It hits you: he’s been here, he knows


He’s seen your tears
He knows your fears
He knows what you’ve done
He doesn’t believe in what you feel you’ve become

He picks up your chin
Looks into your eyes and he says:
"Hold onto me
I’m not like those guys
I’ll be here for you
I’m on your side"

You want to runaway
But your pounding heart says to stay
Should you go? Escape maybe another stain?
What if you stay? Could he help break the pain?

He loves you for you
Not what you feel you have to do
He says:
“I love you. I’ll always be here for you. Forever”
