Through the walls of narrow minds
walk the paths they guide
within these walls
the sparrow finds
a nest to feed it's pride
burdens drag as dusk descends
sleep may hold the key
for in the dark
the bravest bend
the weak a chance to see
follow that which follows you
pull the deepest root
dilemma soon must leave the nest
to bear forbidden fruit

Our relationship wasn't built to last
I didn't think you were "the one"
I had no dreams of a life in a big house

I just loved you with every ounce of me
For as long as you would let me

But now that you don't want my love
I don't know what to do with it

I hadn't looked for a future in you
But I hadn't planned for an end either


It was abrupt and it hurt
Big and rowdy,
loud and lovely
it stands on my porch
sprawling with filiform tentacles
the thorn-armored canes
my bougainvillea uses as
claws to etch indelible memories
of unforgettable summers on my mind.

She can't see that hate I hold
It darkens my entire soul
Oh I wish to be set free
From this self imposed slavery
But here I sit alone and sad
Gave up on the friends I had
Waiting for my body bag
The reaper comes his touch is near
He'll take me far away from here....

please I beg you

hit me in the head

so I may forget

everything he said

all of the lies

that I somehow believed

all of the pain he caused me

but hey it was my fault for believing

please I beg you

hit me in the head

so I may forget

everything he said.
