Bang, fizz My mind goes back to years past When bullets rang past my ears And I couldn't stop the tears As I held my dead brothers and sisters in my arms But it's not without its charms Because everyone is free Everyone. But. Me.

War
Everything here is so stale Worn out Beaten down Old And painful. I need somewhere new Pleasant Exciting Somewhere I can have an adventure But adventure isn't for the Worn out Beaten down All together overwhelmed Adventure isn't for the tired Bruised 9-5 Small apartments and empty fridges. I need out! I need energy I need to be free of this apathy I need out of the old, stale place Where I'm too afraid to show my true face I need something warm Welcome New Fresh.

Fresh
The tears fall to the floor from the child's eyes. She can't stand the fighting, tired of the lies. You do not notice, or maybe just don't care But to a child this just isn't fair. I can't pick a side! I love you both And what happened to that sacred oath? For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, At least until Daddy buys a ***** At least until Mommy speaks her mind At least until Daddy makes her cry. For better or for worse, what happened to that? Those are the words upon which your marriage shat. Now the child is married herself. Your marriage sits broken upon her shelf. She refuses to make an example of it Because her marriage will never be ****

Divorce
I saw the sparkle in your eyes And I took it the sure sign You loved me- it was in your smile I thought you'd be there, stay awhile. I thought I lost you, very near. Never, never again dear. Long as you want, you're mine forever. In your arms I find my shelter. We're young now but we won't be always. Our lives will end on our last days. I want you to be there as I close my eyes And leave this body, my disguise. When I am wrinkled, grey, morose You will be my beauty's dose. When my bones are waste and I can't do much You will be my comforting touch. My love, my joy, my peace and protection Never doubt my great affection For you my knight, my theif, my own; This heart I give you is not a loan. So hold me now, forever then For my love for you will never end. Take these words, let them sink in And know me now and my soul therein.

My Husband, My Soul Mate
Sitting at a stop light "Turn green!" You yell and curse. Your brow is furrowed- lips pursed. But 18 years ago today 12 people passed away. 4 of them would have come of age But there were no stop lights that day. SMASH! CRUNCH! The cars were obliterated No light to keep them safe, yet still hated Now we've ended up so jaded. What happened to the value of life? Our will to strive? Will you just throw it away like everyone else or cut it with hate- an ice-cold knife? I think it's time we re-think time. Life is weird. It won't always rhyme. But don't just plow through life Rushing through lights Days asleep and working nights Always getting into fights. Where's the happiness in that? You're not living. You're just barely alive.
