Henry Yarbrough May 2013
Once knew a girl
She was starshine
Near her grace
I did lose control
Knew deep inside
My  She never was mine
Look in my eyes
She has wasted my soul
She danced through my life
Without caring
Yes,she knew
She was just having fun
Listen ,you will hear
My heart tearing
I no longer walk
In the sun
That lifes  not fair
This is my understanding
My tears are the pain
Reesa never would see
So when you fly
Beware the landing
Or one day
You will be me.                   Hy

Where is the god
They had sold me
To whom my mother
She taught me to pray
Through these eyes I have seen
So much tragedy
Ah,the world
She has gone so astray
I need to have this answer
Why all the madness and greed
What use in bleeding the dancer
We shall never
Fill all that that we need
And what has become of the righteous
In gods name untold numbers are slain
Yet the hollow words of the pious
Say how he feels the worlds pain
Where is the god
They had sold me
I fear he is gone in the light
Fool,open your eyes
Then you will see
He no longer cares for the fight.          Hy

I the poppy
Grow in the field
I **** of profit
By law
A good harvest yeilds
So much for so many
I will take you to the wall
Ride the dragon
Once is for kicks
Can't do any harm
Buy me,sell you,live it up
Oh, now you stick needles in your arm
Reasons, needles
In a life that burns
Conscience  will not fit
Play hound my friend
When backs are turned
and feed the need with it
The evil without
Is now the evil within
This has always been the plan
I will never let go
Though you rage
And you shout
You never were much of a man.                  Hy

She played me for a fool
Gifted her my pride
I swear the ***** was laughing
Her eyes told me she lied
Oh,yeah the wound went deep
My soul now screaming
Me out of this sleep
     To late,
I cry n cried,
My world came crashing
Down straight from on high
So don't tell me what you think I need to know
Cause I know,I know......I know.          Hy

What do you have faith in
What do you believe
There is no one you can trust
And in your dreams
You hear the screams
Of a life bleeding to rust  
When your so called friends
Have turned away
A soul just gathers dust
You need to have a look inside
And see what all is there
Wash away your foolish pride
And see no ones to care
The devil is a poet
He's got your number
And you have his no doubt
This is the way , we stay in play
Is what life's all about
So play the game
Let nothing slip away
You may go lnsane
Is what they all will say
Just play the game
Till all there is left to do
                     .........is pay.        Hy

Woman I an sorry I hurt you
That you still hate me
This cuts deep inside
Please undrerstand
I lost something to
But young men
Often wash treason in pride
I can never take back the tears
Or the pain that is caused
When love dies
I never did think
The price of my fears
Would forever cost me these ties
Our true reason
Was the child of my fire
For her alone
I did give  u my heart
Yet life rarely gives
What we think we desire
Not even
As we tear lives apart
I won't ask for your forgiveness
I deserve how you feel about me
When all that we gave
Somehow came down to this
I'm sorry is all I can be.           Hy
Henry Yarbrough May 2013
Where is the love
Life had promised
I am lost
With no one to hold
Somehow I missed
While paying the cost
What she was saying
Without being told
That it was me
Is my understanding
Her need to be free
Made her distant and cold
I gave her my love
It wasn't enough
Now my heart
Will pay out the toll
I am lost
And I don't really like it
Sadness is eating me whole
For just one more chance
I never will get
I  would trade what is left
Of  this soul.     ........hy
