Unfair does it have to be
Laying in bed in half a stupor
Dazed with sleepless pain
It is but another way to suffer

Deja vu in reverse, memories hated
Like yesterday's dreams of torture and malice
Plastic veins injected to hear the call
The disease returned upon us

You break down our walls
You take our moments and minds
with no purpose or intent
Fear will not keep us from living

You hide inside of us
only to mask your hateful crime
You run cowardly away
You have taken lives but you will not take mine
Lost many relatives to cancer and just found out my other sister has it now..lost a sister in Sept 15..both my parents had it... over 20 in my family
Look through my broken trunk of memories
Shuffling faded pictures of distant places and time
Those were the frozen moments
Captured by the flash of a Polaroid
Oh the good times, scattered but few

Lighting the flames to burn the past
Each moment, each word, each time

Many are friends everywhere
fewer are they that are dear.
some care but are rare,
while some can't compare.

Some are short, some are Tall.
with some, we love to talk
their ears are often on floor.
while some aren't there at all.

Tender as teddy,
priceless like an ancient log,
as old as the library book,
they are always on the hook.

Handle one with soft,
'cause they are fragile.
Be more humble,
sumptuous are subtle.
a good friend is a priceless jewelry.

I held onto his
small fragile body,
like he was my
own.
I cried because of
how beautiful life
can be.
I cried because of
how precious he
was in my arms,
I was literally
holding someone's
life in my hands.
I cried because of
how scared I was
to have him
brought into this
world,
scared because I
wanted to always
protect him,
scared because I
wanted him to
always be safe,
to have the happy
life he deserves.
As his little hand
grasped my pinky
finger,
A tear rolled down
my cheek and I
whispered, "i love  you
and I'm never going to
leave you.
"
when i was young
i had so much time
time to play the fool
and time to be so cool
when i was young
i could well afford
a few misses along the way
time was on my side
and comeuppance was new terrain
when i was young
i knew everything about anything
and the world was young like me
There's been a ringing
In my ears
A pain in my throat
Bottle these words inside an eloquent note
Wash upon the sea
These bones, these hands, these knees
Crawling
But never back to you

Every night I feel the gun reload
Expload inside this old head of mine
Unlocking this virtual mountain
I'll eventually  have to climb
Rain seeps in the soles of my shoes
A train creeps in my rear view
Depressed something manic
Stressed and I overthink I panic
Night turns to day
My mind decays
My body lay still
Cars passing out the windowsill
and with an evanescent glance
spilt dirt over a hideously fleeting romance
And with a kiss of a razor
My vessel collided, a glacier
You took me by my swollen wrist
Pain stricken by a twisted kiss
Tongue tied and mechanic
Young love sank the titanic
