Darkness and Mystery Insanity, strife Written of the tempest chaos Of this man's mind The master of words The craftsman of night Bending and twisting The word called light His dreams on paper The nightmares that haunt Creepy, despairing Murmurs that taunt Torment of Twilight Author of Anguish Edgar Allen Poe Is the Master of Madness

Nathaniel Aleczander Gasc-Lewis Adopted 2/23/2017 March/30/1994- July/16/2017 I know you’ll never read this But I was thinking of you today I wanted to write a letter Of everything I wish I could say I wish I could say I love you And hear you say it too I wish I could tell you everything All the dreams I want to come true I wish I could see you smiling Just one more time at me I wish I could hear your laughter Contagious to all you meet I wish I could hold you one more time Just one more is all I ask I wish to hold your hand in mine A memory that would always last But wishes went up in smoke When firemen were too late to your door My heart, my brother, my friend-gone My heart shattered on the hospital floor

I think if I were an animal I’d be a magpie Collect all the wonders of the world Collect all the stories across continents Written, read, and told New worlds, old ones, All the knowledge I could hold Collect paintings, sculptures, symphonies Till my heart has no room Hallelujah chorus ringing deep inside me Starry night swirls to the tune Find the magic in a hummingbirds wings Find beauty as a church bell sings Find peace in a soft trickling streams Find the wonder in collected dreams

I walk like the world is watching Every day I’m on a stage Stand tall, just keep on walking Don’t fall, don’t think of stopping. A spot light on every step Keep walking like the world is watching The sun in the sky is burning Till twilight comes and darkness falls And only the stars are watching.

Walk Like the World is Watching

I walk like the world is watching Every day I’m on a stage Stand tall, just keep on walking Don’t fall, don’t think of stopping. A spot light on every step Keep walking like the world is watching The sun in the sky is burning Till twilight comes and darkness falls And only the stars are watching.

I'm not afraid of growing old. No, I fear not remembering and dying alone I'm not afraid of the dark. No, I fear the empty silence and the unknown. I'm not afraid of the end of life. No, I fear I will leave nothing behind I'm not afraid of death. No, I only fear dying with too much life left.

Death and the Unknown

I'm not afraid of growing old. No, I fear not remembering and dying alone I'm not afraid of the dark. No, I fear the empty silence and the unknown. I'm not afraid of the end of life. No, I fear I will leave nothing behind I'm not afraid of death. No, I only fear dying with too much life left.

When we met I knew You're so much more than a one night stand I knew I'd want to hold your hand I wish I had the guts to say something Cause I know you don't see How perfect you are to me. With you, I want to lie under the sky Wrapped in your arms I want to make wishes on shooting stars. But I'm scared I don't know the real you. And I'm scared you'd run from the real me. What happens when you realize I'm crazy. What happens if you find out I think about you every day? What happens if you walk away? I want to say all this to you... But I know I'm going to erase this And pretend I never wrote it. I'll tell myself to keep it in, To guard my heart Because it will never start. But what would happen if I sent this to you now?... I wish I had the guts to find out.

The Message I'll Never Send

When we met I knew You're so much more than a one night stand I knew I'd want to hold your hand I wish I had the guts to say something Cause I know you don't see How perfect you are to me. With you, I want to lie under the sky Wrapped in your arms I want to make wishes on shooting stars. But I'm scared I don't know the real you. And I'm scared you'd run from the real me. What happens when you realize I'm crazy. What happens if you find out I think about you every day? What happens if you walk away? I want to say all this to you... But I know I'm going to erase this And pretend I never wrote it. I'll tell myself to keep it in, To guard my heart Because it will never start. But what would happen if I sent this to you now?... I wish I had the guts to find out.

Feeling lonely And kinda tired Of living But not of life Once I thought My time had come To leave this world For the next Life was trouble Not worth the pain. I tried to die, then I had to learn to live again I longed to live A life full of joy I never thought All I had to do Was to just keep Moving on

Dragging my body outta bed Remembering the night before Getting back at 3 am Never wanting to stop Kissing good bye Remembering every sore muscle Being rubbed out With hands that were strong And impossibly gentle Remembering a new soreness In places that are secret Remembering that There are no secrets left Getting outta bed With 6 hours of sleep Smiling like a fool Walking to class Because I was remembering A night with you.
