they came and grabbed
our backs they stabbed
thought for good they came
only to leave our lives lame

our land they put to use
resources were profuse
all we enjoyed as sweet
soon was under their feet

our fathers saw it
that all was no more fit
advantage of our trust
to subjects was ******

they ran without food
hidden deep in the wood
for their land a sword
for freedom their blood

no longer to be subjects
for the masters as objects
they saved their freedom
and regained their kingdom

for all they fought
with their blood bought
the freedom they wanted
with pain to us they granted

but who draws from this well?
we fight but never tell
the waters they fought for
to get we struggle before
She gets everything,
No matter what it is,
She gets
Whatever, Whoever,Whenever,
It’s not fair to the people,
The people that actually have to work,
Work toward what they want,
Work toward what they need in life,
Then there’s always,
That one person that comes along,
Not even moving a finger,
But she takes it all,
I wish I could be like her,
But no,
She’s too pretty without
Even trying,
She’s a ***** but,
No one cares,
She has the perfect body,
And eats what she wants,
Tell me,
How do I become her?
Flipping through
the contents of
my old wallets
I found your note
and your name badge
and your ID
and you all ate
me
alive.

And as a lay in bed
for hours on end
I try to create my own
lullaby.

For my dreams
have seemed to run away,
and nightmares
are the only thing that keep my company.
Leaving each night
a never ending race
for sanity.  

Like a sweet breeze,
I whisper
into the silent
soft air
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
And I am reminded that my tongue will never get tired
of the taste of those words.

And every night,
As I watch you walk away,
I can't help but follow.

No matter how long it will be,
your tune
will be stuck in my head.

So for this one last night,
I beg you
too sing me to sleep again,
with your
sweet
sweet
lullaby.
In hopes that one day
I can sing my own.
this one is kinda old and definitely needs some editing, but a friend asked to see it so yes, here it is.
As the days go by the colder I get
I hide in the dark hoping to forget
Yet, silently I sit as my life ticks by
Hoping my hero would save me tonight
A long while does pass before you're brought back to me
To finally silence my inner screams
You stand before me, glowing as red as my sins
A sly smile on your face and a fiery glow to your skin

After all these years, you were brought back to me
As I feel your touch I know I am free
Free of the tears I have cried every night
And as you hold me fast, I cannot feel your burning light
But, when you let me go I can tell something's wrong
For instantly, everything I felt was gone
Your eyes glow fiery as you reveal your true self
As my very own angel, sent to bring me to Hell

You apologize for leaving and withholding the truth
For causing all my pain from your love that is true
I contemplate what to do in this mess
Should I leave you now or is staying the best?
A frown falls upon your perfect, pale lips
But I fix it easy, drawn to your deadly kiss
Suddenly, the ground opens as the world shifts
And what should appear, but Hell's Fiery Pit
You look at me quizzically with a sadness in your eyes
My only way out of this world is below, so I kiss you in reply
We jump at the thought of immortal love; so exciting!
Who knew Hell would appear so inviting?
Addicted to my wicked dreams
Where everything's not as it seems
All these things in my head
Wondering why you haven't left me for dead
Just like Romeo and Juliet,
This love is as tragic as it gets
Star-crossed lovers
Who only care when they're under covers
And when you sit alone at night and feel empty,
I know you feel pain and resent me
It's contradicting, what you do to me
Make me think you care
Then just flee
I wonder how you go so easily upon this
All I wanted,
Was your k i s **s
Warm water around my ankles
I watch the waves sink in then slither away
I watch the moon rise before the day
Watching the stars rip their way into the sky
These battle scars, I wait for them to fade
While watching the moon rise and the sun set
Everyday
Yet the scars only stay
I wish I could stop for how much it hurts
How much shame weighs on me
How disgusted I feel
Like I let you all down
Like I let myself down
Like I'm never going to change
Like they might never fade away
Like I lost this fight
These are the times I wish
*I could fade into the night
