Though now I lay you down to sleep
I won't be sad, I will not weep
If the pain I feel shall never cease
The love we had will bring me peace
I'll count the memories day by day
Until I too shall pass away
Life's a vapour, a momentary mist
A distant echo the wind has kissed
You're the blessing that grew a smile
But now you walk your final mile
And though we pause the life we've known
Be not afraid, you're not alone
Tears were made to reflect the pain
The reflection fades, but not the stain
And though you're in a better place
This road is rough that I must face
You've heard the words by our dear Lord
"Child enter in to your reward"
So look for me, for in only a while
I too will walk my final mile

Who shall lament at my demise
When this world below I leave?
Who bears proof with blood-shot eyes?
Will one among you grieve?
Who will stand when I cannot
To trumpet deeds I've done?
Am I the one that time forgot
The name that people shun?
Who will walk me to my grave
And mark the place I lay?
Will one step forth, he who's brave
One strong enough to pray?
The seeds I've sown have fell in vain
For the darkness steals the light
They'll simply say, "He was insane"
Because of things I write
If not one tear shall fall for me
The world will one day know
I need not your sympathy
For I am Edgar Allen Poe

Sometimes hidden behind a smile
We can find our darkest places
The laughter will last for only a while
For it's something the darkness erases
No words exist to even explain
This feeling of total despair
You try your best to hide the pain
And pretend that it's not there
It steals the soul in tiny pieces
Until there's nothing left
And though your joy slowly decreases
Your mind is aware of the theft
That's when life seems closer to death
Than you ever thought it could be
You ponder each and every breath
While hoping it sets you free
We should consider depression a crime
It replaces the joy with lies
It has a way of distorting time
Until the laughter dies

Buried deep in an unmarked grave
A child is given birth
Born to a corpse, now death's slave
He claws he way through the earth
He's not quite dead nor alive it seems
As he tinkers on the fringe
Conceived by the sound of his mother's screams
Hell bent on taking revenge
His mother lived only nineteen years
Then killed by a gang of three
Born through the hate in his mother's tears
Now karma has set him free
He searches the earth, both high and low
Till he finds his heart's desire
Making them suffer and all die slow
As he drags them through the fire
With the gates of hell now open wide
His deed on earth is done
But remember this warning, you can't hide
So beware of Karma's son

The whole world watched
As they fell to the ground
A multitude was lost
Only a few were found
An unseen evil
Came from the sky
Innocence, the target
We're left asking why
Mothers and Fathers
Sisters and Brothers
All lost their lives
And so many others
He came from the east
With death in his heart
He thought he would break us
And tear us apart
It only made us stronger
When the Twin Towers fell
For we trust in God
They're screaming in hell

As I listen to whispers trapped in my tears
I'm haunted by regret
A shadow that's followed me all of my years
Making sure I never forget
Time has recorded the mistakes I've made
And stores them in the past
Long and winding, the path that I've laid
I didn't expect it to last
Twisted and broken as days pass me by
Time will never relent
Uncertain, disheartened, as tomorrow draws nigh
I fear it's too late to repent
I see the world with a reprobate mind
Confused in all that I see
Today is so clear but my future is blind
Whatever will be, will be
Forever I'm tied to the path that I chose
Be it Heaven or be it hell
Will tomorrow bring judgement? nobody knows
It's still too early to tell

A silent emotion mixed with ink
A memory that just won't die
An ocean of tears brought to the brink
When you're much too broken to cry
A place where your pain can go to hide
Or a grave to bury the past
A sad goodbye to a love that's died
Or a future that didn't last
A place where your dreams just fade away
For you realize they wasn't real
A voice to those with nothing to say
When you're much too damaged to feel
Regret is spoken without a sound
Where "I love you" is just a waste
Where "I'm sorry" can always be found
"Forgive me" is uttered in haste
Words in this poem are now my life
Our marriage, nothing but a theft
I once was proud to call you my wife
Now these words are all that is left

Sorrow only hangs her head
While walking to the floor
Pride wants all the attention
While Greed keeps seeking more
Shame hides behind the curtains
While Anger demands his way
Fear is too afraid to dance
Impatience just wouldn't stay
Joy was dancing all over the place
While Lust's heart began to burn
Love just watched with stars in her eyes
While Patience was waiting his turn
Confusion didn't know what to do
While Surprise was doing the twist
Shock was so appalled of it all
While Temptation just couldn't resist
The Broken Hearts just sit and cried
While Doubt didn't believe it was real
Now you've seen the dance of emotions
So tell me, how do you feel?

My wife said to embrace my feminine side
So I thought I'd give it a whirl
And though I said I'll do my best
I don't make a very good girl
So I tried my hand at cooking
And now the chicken is crispy and black
The laundry was just my first attempt
And it almost broke my back
I even took a bubble bath
With candles on the side of the tub
But when I tried to shave my legs
The only thing left was a nub
And even though I must admit
I look pretty **** good in a dress
Those dadgum ***** hose were cramping my style
As you can probably already guess
That make-up made me feel kinda funny
And made me look just a little bit weird
I think it clashed with the leftover breakfast
That was hanging out inside my beard
My wife said I made an ugly girl
And she laughed so hard she cried
She said she'd never ask me again
To embrace my feminine side

A momentary lapse of reason
Has brought me back to you
Even though I'll always know
The hurt you've put me through
With blinded eyes I come again
My heart won't let me leave
I can't deny the tears I cry
The evidence, on my sleeve
Doubt has now replaced the hope
That made my world worth while
Dread and fear will reappear
And steal away my smile
Like a puppet on a lonely stage
My strings are in your hands
I have no will to even feel
Just following your commands
Broken dreams your voice commands
My will no more my own
A lonely seed, a useless ****
That you alone have sown
I'm just going through the motions
Tired and feeling used
I tried today to stay away
But again, my heart refused
