Mama, I found the prayers
for me, in your tears
Mama, I found the peace
in your happy face!

Mom, you are my heaven
and my precious gem
Mom, you're important
to me than my dreams!

I won't leave you alone here
and go anywhere
Mama, I will be your shore
and won't hurt you anymore!

Mama, let me feel your pain
Lmme make you smile again
I have no one like you, mama
and you are everything to me!
I abhor a bore
Don’t you?
I’d adore some more
Thank you.

Embarrassed to even post that.  It went on and on, but only got worse, so I spared you.

Gonzo goes out
with a 45 blast.
He was kicking *** in Aspen,
we knew it wouldn't last.
The rambling, gambling
man of journalism
put Fear and Loathing on
the map,
but in the end,
he couldn't stay.
It's bat country.

Everyday that dawns,
you slip away a little more.
The distant stare,
the apathetic eyes.
Your love is as dead
as the roses in
the trash.
Your heart is an
abyss that I'm
lost in forever.
Belladonna drew me in.
The poison kept me there.
Clutching my sanity ever so tightly,
My fingers cramp at the effort.
I don’t know how long I can hold on.
The life in that other world
Creeps up behind and grabs me.
I’m gone before I can say no.
What happens if I lose my way back
To this reality’s landscape.
Fighting to stay in the here and the now
I feel that I’m losing the battle.
My legs ache from running
And my arms hurt with swinging
But I mustn’t accept their kind invitation
To take up residence in that misty place
And finish my life with those other people.
I mustn’t let go - I’ve got to hang on.
If only I had a guardian angel.

Sometmes my daydreams seem a little too real.
None of it works for me
Not dance, not music, not even art.
Not words or rhymes or fairy tales
That talk of ever-after.
All of it is useless in this void.
