For my little redwood

I want to watch you grow.

From the top of your head to your little toe.

Your branches and roots and and all of your bark.
You make me think and you give me the spark.

I write for you and I write from the heart.
Something simple for you that you might call art.

I'll water you and feed you until you grow tall and strong.
I'll never hurt you for being in the wrong.

You have nothing to fear and no worries to be had.
Because I will do my best to never make you sad.

You inspire my light and shine through my dark.
From the moment I laid eyes on you and sat in the park.

My heart may be locked but you gave me the right shove.
I've never been more sure, and never been this in love.

I promise to love you

I promise to love you

I promise to love you when things get real hard,
I promise to love you and sing like a bard.

I give you my words, that they lift up your spirits,
And realize it's real and want you to hear it.

I'll travel the world to bring you the stars,
And kiss and love every one of your scars.

I'll keep you safe and make sure nothing harms,
Protection, and love and care in my arms.

I'll write you bad poetry and terrible letters,
And smother you from afar with lots of my sweaters.

I'll love you forever, for always, for life,
You bring me no worries , no possible strife.

You are my love, my heart and my light,
I'll never give up, and I will always fight.

You're worth it my dear, of that I am sure.
Now love me like I do, because this is that pure.

The Girl with the sky in her eyes

To the girl with the sky in her eyes and fire in her soul. I do love you.

You've got passion in your words and love in your heart. I do love you.

You've got kindness in your lips, and caring in your touch. I do love you.

You've beauty uncommon & brains beyond measure. I do love you

I could tell you a million times over, how much I need you and you're still there. I do love you

Alone for Christmas

The night before Christmas and all through the rain, the only thing stirring was the rage and the pain.

No stockings to hang by the chimney, who cares? No children, no presents, no Santa right there.

I lay here in pain no nice dreams for me. Just pain, misery and nightmares to be.

Sweet darkness calls for me, I won't make a peep. Alas again, I'm only asleep.

Tick Tock

Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Time never Stops
It haunts me
It taunts me
But sleep never arrives

Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Sleep isn't here
It taunts me
It haunts me
But it never appears

Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Tick Tock
I've been waiting for hours
It taunts me
It haunts me

Nightmares

When the night is cold and dark. When the rain is pounding hard.
When the fears come running back.
That's when you haunt me.

When the peace is finally here.
When my mind has finally stopped.
When the days don't seem so bad.
That's when you haunt me.

When the pain is finally gone.
When I think I'm finally done.
When you stop crossing my mind.
That's when you taunt me.

Why won't you leave me alone.

A Crumbling World

As the world crumbles around me all I can see is the sweet relief of death looking at me from beyond the veil of my happiness. It's always there, begging me forth. It's there when I'm alone and when I'm not. Asking me when is it time, when will you join me.
I'm drowning in the endless depths of my mind, adrift in the seas of my loneliness. Wanting so bad to finally stop struggling against the current. But those who need me here each have a lifeline tied around my soul. I stay for you.
I'm not the monster I've been painted to be, just a man in pain. There is a great and mighty beast within me, ready to pounce the moment I'm ready. Ready to **** and devour me when I can no longer fight.
There are many in my head who fight for control. Some are stronger than others and they win more than they lose. When they are in control I don't know who I am but I can't stop them. I add my strength to the ones I want to win, but some days we all lose.
The Sun and Moon. Light and dark. Heat...life... Happiness. Or. Cold...death... lifelessness. They rise and fall like the tides. I've got no control.
The silence is when I'm happiest. Just me and my monsters. No one to hurt or be hurt by. No one wants me. I don't blame them, I don't want me either. Too many people. Too close. Touching me. I don't like it. But they won't go away.
