Snow

I am weak
This I know
Like late winter snow
Down is the the way I go
I melt away when the temperature rises
Just to be ****** back into the sky
I'm a creature of habit
This should come as no suprise

Butterfly

A passing butterfly had caught my glance
I watched it float so free and weightless
I caught the bug and made it my own
I picked out the jar that it would now call home
Once inside it started to change
No longer did it hover with its beauty and grace
It just sat and waited to be free from this place
So I set it free because it should never have been mine
But just as it turned to look at me one last time
That beauty burst into a magnificent flame
The fire that lives inside me is the culprit to blame

Selfish

Peace, harmony, and love for your fellow man
Things all much less important than your own plans
You call yourselves humans but I disagree
A bunch of selfish animals are all I see

Tears of Orion

Listening to the sound of crashing waves
While cosmic rocks soar past my gaze
I watch the sky with awe and desire
Making a wish on each passing ball of fire
With a thousand chances that one will come true
I'll spend every one wishing for you

lies

Only I know what lies beneath
Under this stone facade of flesh and bone
The thickness of skin covers it so well
This liars grin hides what lies within

Silk Dream

Held together by strands of passion and excess
I hang onto the strings of abuse and excuses
Torn apart at every cross stitch and double seam
Woven into a nightmare by hands unseen
I cut the thread and slip into my silk dream

Gone

Missing my mother so I run for cover
Nowhere to hide
Can't escape what I feel inside
Turning my heart inside out
I can't go on with what I'm without
I need a safe place where I can lie
I need a quiet place where I can die

I'm sorry mother for all that I've done
This world has changed me
I'm no longer your son
The same cold emptiness always finds me
The pictures on the wall are there to remind me
They help me remember better days
The times where I still remembered your face

Ten years gone
It's been too long
Ten years past
Every memory has ceased to last
I still remember the very day
The day you died and your love went away
You wouldn't be proud of the things I've done
But I wouldn't be the same if you weren't gone
