Truth
Devon Rammell Jan 2011
The child cries, the mother begs,
The people walk by faster.

No one is willing to look them in the eye,
No one faces the truth.

The child cries, the mother begs,
The snow falls, blanketing them.

Morning comes, the child is quiet
Morning comes, the mother cries.

The angels take the child to the skies.
The people see nothing.

They keep on walking by,
They ignore the truth.

Heart
Devon Rammell Dec 2010
You saved my life and will never know it
You gave me strength each day
You have done so much more for me
Then I have done for you

So I offer you my heart in return
It isn’t much but it is all I have
It may be torn and a little *****
But it is all I have, it is all yours

Shadows
Devon Rammell Dec 2010
Shadows dance at the edge of my vision
Telling me what I should say or do
They are always there for me
Always giving me a sweet embrace

I stopped listening to them years ago
They hated me for it, they left me
I have never been more alone in my life
Also I have never been happier in my life

Who we are
Devon Rammell Dec 2010
We publish things under a false name
We don’t want the people we know
That we speak the truth
How we really feel or think
We are just a puppet for society to play
They make us dance and twirl and speak
Who knows what we actually think
Maybe the truth will come
When we realize that we are who we are
And that is all

They come so easy these days
The lies, the pain, the grief
It seems I am no longer me
Just a shadow that lost her heart

Cry
Devon Rammell Dec 2010
Cry
I just want to cry
To let the tears fall
To wash my soul
To cleanse my mind
To let the damage take its toll

Soon
Devon Rammell Mar 2010
Soon it will all make sense;
Why snow falls, why we love,
Why anything at all happens.

Soon we will decide on things;
Whether or not we go left or right
Or if we say yes or no.

Soon things will happen that will make us think,
Even make us lose faith in humanity
Or maybe even gain faith in it.

Soon we must learn that life goes on,
Nothing will ever stop that fact.
Keep faith in that life will go on.

Soon something will change,
You must not be afraid of change,
For without it we would not exist.

Soon we will find happiness;
We will also find love
And you will never know...

Too Late
Devon Rammell Mar 2010
Things I know:
You love her, I love you,
Only if she loved me
Could things be sane,
But no she loved you too.

I enjoy watching you
As you love her
For in my mind
She is me and you are you
But I have morals and you have her

I told you almost everything
I never lied to you, I couldn't really
I could never be right or wrong
In your eyes I was simply a friend
In mine, you were always my love

I was never good at this
Never could say what I wanted to
I always danced right around it
I just wanted to say that
I loved you, before you found her

But I was too late-- too late--

This Road
Devon Rammell Feb 2010
As I walk down this road,
I can not help but to wonder
Is this right, did i make the right choice?
Then i look to my side;
i see him him smiling at her
i know it will never be me;
but i am happy he at least
has a shot at it.

So as i walk down this road alonei
know i made the right choice
so i will continue on this path
knowing that he is happy.
with only the thought of:
"Life goes on."

As their yelling gets louder
I sink deeper into the abyss
The infinite colorless abyss I know so well
It accepts me back with no quarrel
As I sink, the noises silences
Soon it is just you and me
As we walk down the path
you tell me stories to keep my mind away
Stories of you, of me, of the world at bay
Anything to keep me from there
As much as i would like to stay
I know I must go back
But soon they'll get mad
and I'll be back again
Maybe one day I'll be able to stay
I will never have to leave
We will finally see the end of the path
and i will learn your name...
For now I will be happy with my visits
just for our walks together.

— The End —
