Don't waste my time with long sentences
Simplify it for me
Easier to go on living
Knowing life is simpler
With nothing to gain
And nothing to lose

Everything I know
I learned from you
Life is complicated
I have been granted that knowledge

With you to guide me
The journey is safer
To twenty hundred miles to where you stand
Arms waiting to embrace a child

Nothing stays the same
You have taught me to embrace change
With open arms
And love life

With you
Life is a roller coaster
Hitting turbulence
With you, life is good

Far, far away
Love in the time of trouble
A past shrouded by pain pressured on
Difficult to imagine
But so easy to find love

Far away
There is a land
Only one knows
The true meaning of love
For a lover, and also a child

To know him
Is to gather trust
Friendship a must
All smiles and genial
To know a boy, a friend, a lover, a father

A cup of fresh brewed tea
To relax for the evening
A solemn eve
Serenity at its best

Chamomile to relax
Exhale for the night
As I say a prayer
And drift off to dreamland

Blood shed
Bullets ripping the pure body to shred
Tainting the body with poison
Screaming in agony

Just a reminder
A silent battle amongst friends
Is as deadly as those across

Rotting flesh in air
Stench of death
Bittersweet smell
Of a victory lost

Love is in the air
To feel that eternal bliss
Longing for someone

Here we are again
Same old routine
I know it better this time
And I have been practicing it
For a long time
I can prove it now
That I am the bigger person
That will not apologize
For you have wronged me without reason
I know forgiving is necessary
But I refuse to listen
Or apologize
