The ****** Tried so very hard to please his crew But you see Out on the high seas Tensions run high But you cannot take words Back See the crew loved the ****** They just didn’t know how to show it In the night The ****** rowed on a rowboat Far away from the harsh crew The crew saw him Stop they yelled But the ****** was already gone Just Like That.

The ******
The pieces you left Your absence thought hard my love The pieces you left behind are still sharp I cant clean them up yet Shattered on the ground Fragile baby steps Around What you left Please come back And pick them up The edges are dulling The wounds Are scarring Just pick them up my dear They have been there long enough

The Pieces You Left
You unleashed your demons on me Your deepest darkness Sent to consume me You released it quietly They slid through the back door So as not to ruin the image Of the landscape in the front yard I was not ready to fight off your demons And you knew Innocence Can be taken very easily But my hands clutched it tightly I held on for so long But your demons were strong Dressed like angels They quickly lost their capes And unleashed themselves You watched and you knew Your cheek was turned yet your eyes watched Was I an easy target? Left alone Helpless You ushered your demons back in One day my dear They will come out the front And your house will not be safe

Unleashed Demons
I took my road and you took yours Madness un-resolved Tainted Words Crashing Heat Melding Your fires raged Screams spread among the night sky I read the stars I felt the heat The land pulsated with your heartbeat Quick pants Your desperation trickled Down my road My tires splashed For my road is healing Stay away Burn in the embers Of your depair

The Paths of Our Love
You told me your love came today The postman came And I looked and looked But I couldn’t find your love I searched in the postoffice But I couldn’t find your love You whispered My love cannot be sent For it is all around you my dear It is the sun rising It is the freckles on your face It is you my dear.

The Day Love Was Sent
I took my boat out Into the sea of fears A lonesome journey With the ambition to explore In my sturdy boat Nothing to fear! My boat is strong! But my boat was weak Cracked Fading And I slipped into the sea And hoped for the best For the sharks do come And the serpents do bite And the sea of fears was winninng I let the current drag me deeper Suffocating. Drowning. Slipping.

The Sea of Fears
Take me my love Take my fears Faults Flaws Take me my love For no one else will.

Take me my love
Pick up my armor Let my phoenix rise Release the doves You have not taken me My castle walls are still strong Do not enter Do not wake the dragon in its lair You have not defeated me. For the war has just begun.

Let my phoenix rise
The streets of my mind have run rampant Things Are Disappearing Scoundrels scavange Please! Don’t take that! They pillage my mind Taint it They are fleeing Memories running away Do not go! I can extinguish these fires! Please! Calm down! Abandon the city I have lost my mind.

They send you to this school And said fill your head with knowledge My head is full my dear There is nothing else I can learn! False. The mutterings in the hallway Cries in the night Ribs through the shirt Emptied my head Columbus does not teach you how to survive Aristotle does not tell you how to fight Hemingway does not teach you pain. They send you to this school And said fill your head with knowledge I emptied my head And filled it with what I learned. That’s what you wanted, right?
