Twas wee hours of the morning,
'course she'd come early
she's always been a morning person
yet I never was
so we ushered the morning
in throes of pain and tears
shouts and crying
some of joy, some fear
But as she breathed her first
I found love
and as little hands lay on my chest
I thought,
maybe this morning wasn't so bad

lie to me love
forget that I hurt
forget my past traumas
push the knife in my back
promise me forever
though you'll never stay
leave me breathless
then rip my heart out
remind me that love is pain
future hurt guised as affection
promises are just words
waiting to be broken

Sing me to sleep once more
Don't let the shadows take me
Where sorrow dwells
With the soft caress of tears

For a moment
I close my eyes
Breathe deep and envision
The sunshine now lacking
As I exhale
Open my eyes
Despite the looming darkness
I clutch on the sliver of hope
Hope
That, that which once lost
Shall be regained
Despite the tragedy that seeks to drown me.

Light me up with new memories
Make me forget the old and gone
Burn into me
Passion and love
Treat me like glass
Make me forget I was broken before
Hold me tight in your embrace
And let me feel safe in your arms
Let's rewrite history
Like it was never before
And paint the grey sky.
In brilliant colours.

Shadows loom around
There is no sunshine today
The clouds are thick with rain
The air saturated in gloom
The children of the earth
Don grim faces
Eyes hold terror
But no tears fall
Tis the fear of the unknown
The powerful hold their fates in their hands
No one knows whether they will nurture or crush
But the odds don't look to great in their favour.

So you accidentally cheated,
***** a young girl to death,
Preying on other's wives
Stole your employer's cash
Committed several atrocities,
You were all smiles till you got caught,
Someone got to your head,
It's witchcraft
So you play the victim
The demons were at play
Beg for forgiveness
While you blame it on the devil.

I'm a bird setting flight,
Touring new lands,
Leaving the nest behind,
Taking part of the flock with me
Deserting things I thought I'd love forever
Testing the waters I never thought I'd ever tread on
Approaching new heights
Forming new nests
Wherever the wind takes me
Bearing through the storms
Home draws near
New seasons have arrived.

For all the times you held my hand
When I rode through the waves
When my tears seemed never ending
When my screams almost got you deaf
To the days I didn't want to talk
The days I forced a smile
When my nightmares woke you
When you held me as I cried myself to sleep
Reminding me how beautiful I was
When I looked like a wreck
Pushing me to achieve my dreams
When I felt like quitting
Celebrating my successes
Even more than I did
To the happy days
When we nearly suffocated from the laughs
Laughing at morbid jokes
So I wouldn't feel too weird
Watching sappy shows
Though you never liked them
For better or worse
You stuck it out
You never left
You braved it all
I will forever be grateful.

You never appreciate life
till you've seen death,
Happiness without sorrow,
And bitter is the kiss of death
That took you away from them,
Longing for your tight embrace,
The gentle smiles of love,
The stern gaze,
The scorch of scoldings.
They watched your candle dim
Helplessly but with brave eyes
Not once betraying the worry and fright
The turmoil they brewed inside
Now you fly with the angels
To the journey of unknown
You live on in their memories
They hope you watch over them
Find comfort in hoping you're in a better place
Free of pain and suffering
That the good Lord called you home
Where you will finally rest.
