the world has not yet met the peace, when this battle's taking place
the men in their camo, doing us right
loved ones, and strangers doing their best
to keep the world peaceful, they fight

for all that is good in the world
they sacrifice by leaving their land behind
we pray for the strength of the courageous
and we give out our all to the ones who have died

while our loved ones are over seas serving
we'd love them to be safe and unharmed
although she's away, i'll think of her today
while she lays her pride down, and bears arms.

while we await their return from the treacherous journey
families eager and anxious to finally embrace
with their trooper that has been gone for so long
to finally see her face to face

they unboard the passengers, dressed head to toe in grey and green
as women men and children jump ut of their seats
cuz we all know, that now she's home
that hole in a families heart, that missing part, is finally complete <3
This poem is dedicated to my cousin, Erin.

I don't care where were going
Or how we get there
If it carries my freedom
I'll travel anywhere

I want to run free of shackles
And breathe in the pride
I swear I won't waste one more second
Of this beautiful ride

Now that I've actually
Seen and been through bad times
I must come together
And hear the Earth's chimes

Listen carefully
To what he had to do
He sacrificed his life for us
For the sins existence of me and you

So look over his actions
And don't waste your life
Live every moment as if it's last
Overcome all grief and strife

Take a walk through a meadow
And listen to his creations
For what he's made there's nothing like it
His extraordinary sensations

Baby, there's no other,
No someone else,
It's hard to balance this love,
Feelin' like my heart's on stilts

Can't look down,
No, I can't turn around,
They say to love with your life,
But, I don't know how,
Baby, these walls,
They're crashing down,
Just wish you were here to see me now.

Her heartbeat gets faster,
At last her,
Lungs give out,

She's bleedin,
Just wishin' she was dreamin',
She don't want this life no more,
So used to droppin' and leavin'.

But this game she's playin',
All it does is mess with her heart,
Her soul shatters,
And falls apart,
At the scene,
Left with senseless scars.

Now she's screamin',
As her death's redeemin',
"I don't want this pain in my chest!"
Lord, put me to rest!

Never wake me up, bury me deep,
Make sure it's deep enough that n one will hear my screams.

No rear windows,
Can't change what's done,
Her soul lifts beyond the sun,
It wasn't supposed to be her, she wasn;t the one.
Lucky for her, the guilt lies within the holder of the gun.

So this is my fate?
This Rock hard
Silver Slate
Of Metal...
Stick it to my wrist, then shove a little.

Leads me t my thrush holding dream
Take me away to destiny,
Fantasy,
All my blood inside of me

Gushing Out,
Rushing out,
No other ways to get out!

So I depart,
Broken heart, new start.

No more decisions to be decided
No more laws to be abided

Hell, Imma do what I want, and say what I like,
Yah know why ******'? I run this life.

Ain't no one gonna tear me down,
Shoo, listen hear baby, I own this town.
Don't waste yur time trying to flip a frown
This one's solid, like cemented ground

If yah like what yah see
I'll break down to my knees
Begging you to set me free
Emotionally, mentally
Anyway, let go of me!

Burst my brains out, so I know how you feel
Baby, these emotions are too unreal

As I leave your ring
Beside your bed,
Kiss your head,

Light the match,
No lookin' back,

Burn myself to the mother ******* ground,
Ashes, ashes, my body falls down.

You're my honey, my sweetheart, my one true love,
Your touch releases me, as twelve freed doves

Everytime I dance into your unescapable stare,
I frequently realize the pure burning we both share

As our feelings flee, hands melt to eachother,
When I look into your eyes, I can't dream of loving any other.

I couldn't imagine a life, with any meaning at all,
As i sink into my black hole, you are there to catch my fall.

You made my heart beat with a more vast sensation,
Your lips on my neck, now I'm losing concentration.

The love and lust are what keeps my soul alive,
You were what was right for my spirits to rise.

Will we ever see eachother eye to eye?
Or will everything you told me turn out as a lie?
Everywhere I turn, I see your name, it's on the wall.
Too weak to bear this heartache, my hope begins to slowly fall.

Hope for happiness has vanished, nothing to look forward to.
Wearier to discover my love was but a joke to you.
My whole body begins to shake as I imagine a life without a guide.
I still feel the spark between us, even after you cheated and lied.

I'm beginning to notice all of this is a game you've created inside your head.
I set my heart to every lie you fed me, believed every 'I love you' said.
As I wollow, becoming more hopeless with every shortened breath.
To careless to live, awaiting for the day of my welly yearned death.

My dripping wrists are being scraped with this tiny shard of rust.
So this is my alternative to our passionate lust?
If pain is all that gives me drive to live.
I'll pick up every scent of my blood and breathe it all in.

I've replaced the moaning and pleasure for sobs of agony.
If only you did care that soon, you'll be the death of me.
Exempt from a heart beating in my chest, I start to drift away.
Her whole body, numb and broken, getting sicker everyday.

No one cares for her goodbyes, as she prepares to leave.
Her only choice was to die without love, or so she did believe.
With bloodshot eyes, and her soul still shading rotten.
Her red blood goes out to the girl this cold world has forgotten.

Why do I try oh so hard
For love I never will recieve
I convince myself to fall for you
And your sickening lie, I believe

I give it my all, for us
To be passionate together
But I'm wobbling on this platform
And your heart controls the lever

My heart has been blackened
Beyond what most would attempt repair
Left sobbing in pure darkness
With brown eyes flooded with despair

Heartbreak's first form of agony
Awaiting pain to slash me deep
Just when I starve for your warmth the most
My heart to cold for you to heat

So I scream to the heavens "Why do I live?"
Am I doing this only to breathe
This forsaken love, that never existed
In which I still try to believe.
