People call him crazy
I guess maybe it's true
"When it comes to war,
You do what you have to do"

The faces never leave him
When he's alone and in the dark
The lives that he has taken
Leaves a scar upon his heart

"Why?how could you ****"
The people all would say
He'd give a half-hearted chuckle
And turn and walk away

He did it not for medals
For money or for spite
He did it so the rest of us
Wouldn't have to fight.

Your picture I've seen
And admit nothing else
Just the thought of that picture
How my heart melts

I've known you forever
At least that's how I feel
Never have we met
Though it all seems so real

Someday I'd search
I'd walk every path
Swim 'cross the ocean
And find you at last
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
Did you ever lay by the ocean
Lover close by
Their hand in yours
No thought of time

Hours pass like minutes
You wish it wouldn't end
Time should stand still
No want to leave

Inevitably the moon appears
What a beautiful day
You and your love
Asleep by the bay

Worlds away
Oceans between
Love knows no boundaries
When will they meet?


You send me your love
Of that I've no doubt
Oceans to cross
My times running out

I'll see you my love
In my dreams
In the night

All now seems possible
Our future is bright

Starry,starry night
Snow reflects
Blue,white light
Starry,starry night

Come o weary souls
To the house at the end of the road
Where many a man
Had met his end

Some had come
Looking for truths
Some had found
The hanging noose

Last steps taken
Through the trees
Lonely whispers
From the leaves

Answers given
Those that seek
Will you laugh
Will you weep.
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
Starting to get tipsy
A bakers dozen down
The pain,I still can feel it
"Another drink please now"

Pain is now subsiding
Numbness in my brain
I wish I could melt where I stand
And go straight down the drain

No pain, no thoughts, no anything
No yearning to go on
I feel the tug of sleep now
I'm going to lie down

And dream of pleasant mornings
With the hope of coming dawn
I' ll do it again tomorrow
Until I can't go on
