I was born to dream
with the sun and the
bright blue sky’s
many moon’s a go

I was born
to be who i am
and this expression is mine
but born so so many moon’s a go

January will come
and once more
it might snow
on you and me
and the frost will bit our toes

But I was born
to be only me
and see the earth
though blue painted eyes.
i made you flowers, the prettiest you've seen
red and yellow, blue, purple and green
made from paper and glue
because they reminded me of you
mama put my teddy bear next to your arm
because he will keep you safe and warm
i wanted to send my night light, in case you were scared
mama said that it was the thought, that she knew i cared
but grandma would find a light brighter than what i had
and i couldn't help the tears that came because i felt so sad
i thought you'd always be there
this isn't right and it isn't fair
oh grandma, why did you have to go?
you won't get to see me grow
but i will carry you in my heart
whisper my secrets in the dark
because i know you'll be watching over me
and when i'm sitting beneath this old tree
beside your grave, i don't cry
it's not my place to question why
but this isn't where you rest
and just remember i love you best
As i look into time
i find myself no more.
so heavy, she wore her sadness like a coat
swam in it, never knowing if she'd sink or float
and all the dreams that drifted away
left her empty, with nothing to say
she cries but no tears will come
can't even remember what she's running from
only that she has to go, further and faster
away from this life, self created disaster
she hangs her head in guilt and shame
feeling like she only has herself to blame
not knowing how to fix all that's wrong
she's holding on but for how long
when the night seems too open, too dark
the silence is deafening, save her pounding heart
and it's fear, always the fear
that something bad is near
within her, like a fire burning bright
sometimes she feels too tired to fight
He promised her the sun
Promised her the moon
Because she was his only one
He never meant to leave so soon
He said she was his whole life
And she'd always have his heart
He wanted her to be his wife
He knew this from the start
In his arms he'd hold her tight
Whisper words so sweet
He'd watch her sleeping through the night
Listen to her heart beat
She never knew a love like this
So real and so sure
Magic in each and every kiss
All that she was waiting for
But life isn't always so kind
Not everything meant to be
And she would soon find
A life she didn't want to see
On a night so dark and cold
Even the angels wept
So many things left untold
To the boy who slept
Because he was her whole world
She promised him the moon
Something broke inside the girl
When death came too soon
Now her tears are plenty
She's lost her smile
It hurts to be so empty
She only had him a little while
She's sure she heard the angels weeping
Heard her own heart break
And now he's gone and sleeping
It feels like more than she can take
blackness, it's all that I see
when you're taking this from me
uninvited, unwanted, trying to say no
it's the beginning and you won't let me go
held down, broken, the pain of being used
never thought it'd be me being abused
this isn't me, it's not my choice
but I can't speak, I have no voice
I'm shocked, lying here bleeding
no sounds, just my heart beating
and you're gone, never looking back
my world crumbles, turns to black
this is me, *****, full of shame
you didn't know me, not even my name
but you thought you had that right?
to make me cry, scream & fight
now there's danger lurking in every place
I find myself always on guard, looking for your face
I hope someday I have my turn
To watch you suffer, watch you burn
