I lied today,
As I do every day.
I can’t help it.
I don’t mean to,
It just happens.
It’s become natural to me.

“How are you today?”
They’ll ask me.
“Well, I’m great.”
I’ll reply with a smile.

It’s that smile.
It fools everyone.
It hides my emotions,
The ones I really feel.

No one seems to see past that smile.

I Died Today

I died today,
But nobody noticed.
It happened so slowly,
The pain was unbearable.
And then it was over,
I died.

*But nobody noticed
They only see the smile.

Broken

Is this all in my mind, or is it reality?
The darkness is taking over again,
And I need you more than ever.
The tears are threatening to fall,
But they won’t come, I won’t let them.
‘Cause when they start, they’ll never stop

As Every Day Goes By

As every day goes by,
I love you more and more.
I’ll think of you and I’ll sigh.
This, I can’t believe.

As every day goes by,
You’re always there with me.
I know that this is no lie.
Because this, it feels so real.

As every day goes by.

As every day goes by,
You’re still here with me.
And I always wonder why
I have someone like you.

As every day goes by,
You keep me company.
As your lips touch mine,
We are here together.

As every day goes by.

As every day goes by,
It’s you I fall asleep to.
In every thought of mine,
You are the one I love.

As every day goes by,
You are always in my dreams.
You’re a certain kind of high,
I just can’t get enough.

As every day goes by.
I love you more and more.
I’ll think of you and I’ll sigh,
Because I love you with all my heart.

As every day goes by.
As every day goes by.

Howl of Hope

I run through the forest,
Wind blowing through my fur.
The leaves barely crunching
Beneath my paws.
I stop at my den, my mate
Waiting patiently,
And I hear a distant howl.
I throw my head back
And I begin to howl,
And we sing in harmony
Of a world of which
We would be safe from
The terror of humans.

Unnoticed

I am only a quiet whisper,
    A hushed sigh,
        Barely audible
To those who don’t care.

I am only a silent scream,
    A cry for help
        Gone unheard
In the darkness of the night.

I am only broken loneliness,
    Faint sadness,
        Unseen tears,
*I’m only waiting to be noticed.

I Spend My Days

To be honest,
I spend my days
Just thinking of you.
You occupy my mind,
Making it hard to
Concentrate on
Anything else.
