Paint Me a Rainbow
ML Otto Oct 2017
Paint me a rainbow
Don't morn me in black
For I lived a life
I would not take back

Every step of my adventure
And every moment spent on earth
I'll treasure here in heaven
And remember all their worth

I'll look down on you and smile
As I know I had the best
Don't cry for me no more
For I truely am at rest

So don't mourn me in black
but paint me a rainbow
Don't cry no more tears
But instead let me go

Miles Away
ML Otto Sep 2017
Miles away but I can feel your pain
Wish I was there to keep you sane
I know you're hurting
But what can I do
Besides letting you know
That I love you

Miles away but I can see your tears
Rolling from your cheeks to your ears
Your pillow soaking wet
As you lay in the night
Trying to be strong
Trying to see a light

Miles away but I can see your strength
It stretch far beyond any length
I know you don't feel strong
As you search for an answer
To the question of why
Your kid has cancer

Miles away but I wish you could see
Just how great of a mum you can be
You put everything aside
For your dying baby's in need
Of your love, comfort and more
You're stronger than you perceive

Miles away but I want you to see
That you are more than you think you can be
You're already a hero
To a sick little boy
And I know you'll bring more
So much more of this joy

So don't give up, even though you feel
Like the world's crashing and it's not ideal
You can get through it
You've done it before
You're a rolemodel to me
But you're so much more

When the darkness stole you
ML Otto Oct 2017
I don't know what the darkness told you
When you touch it with your toe
Carefully testing out its feeling
Hesitant and slow

I didn't know how scared you were
Until I saw the fear
Buried in your soul so deep
When you touch the darkness near

I will never know the reason
You feared the darkness so much
For the darkness that you feared
Was just life's messy touch

I know now that I couldn't save you
When darkness stole you away
Just a touch if its great fear
Was enough to make you stray

No Bright Light
ML Otto Sep 2017
A buzzy bee in the window
Once shining bright
Could feel his little heart ache
Strongly through the night
It shattered into pieces
The day you flew away
A piece had since been missing
That he could not replace

You took that piece with you
And didn't even know
That the little buzzy bee
Needed it to grow
Alone and empty
With nothing left inside
The buzzy bee turned out
His once bright shining light

Goodbye little buzzy bee
I hope you find your way
Towards peace and love and happiness
Your next life now awaits

The Darkness Steal Secrets
ML Otto Dec 2017
Little do people know
That at night when their asleep
Darkness creeps inside
To expose the secrets we keep
The whisper through the window
The sound next to your ear
Is not the wind we thought
But darkness drawing near
It longs to hear the secrets
The ones we hide so deep
Those with the biggest secrets
Are the ones who cannot sleep

They lay awake for ages
Tryna’ find a way
To explain how their secrets
Have caused them to stary
Far away from the path
The sun had planned for them
Onto a dark and rocky road
That held little rythem

— The End —
