I left my broken heart in a box outside your door
But you left it in the freezing rain
Each widening crack as the ice seeped in
Led to one more nightmare
Another shattered dream
We had it all my darling
At least I thought it so until my money ran out
Then it was my time to go
Is that truly what it was all about
You had everything you ever wanted
Until the cash ran out
So was that all you wanted
The good life I once could give
You said you truly loved me
That I was the reason that you lived
Now my shattered heart lies outside your door
Frozen by the bitter winds
And each and every lonely night
My sleep is haunted by one more shattered dream

This is well outside my comfort zone but I had to try it

Hypocracy

Hypocracy

What is it about Christmas that brings out worst and the best and in people?
I have to have the biggest and best dressed tree
The presents I give cost a fortune
In fact I'll probably still be paying this time next year
Throwing a big party again, inviting people of influence
Even though I hardly know them
Christmas morning and egg nog for all the neighbors
I don't even like most of them
But I have a position to maintain
Jim down the road now he's real white trash
Shabby unpainted house and unkempt yard
BUT
The cheap cards he sends are sent with love
Sure he'll invite a few friend round on Christmas eve
Share a few cheap beers, maybe a pizza
Real and true friends who don't expect much
Sure his kids will get presents, nothing fancy but paid for with hard cash
No egg nog for him on Christmas morning
Just a family gathering giving thanks for what they have
Who do you admire the most?

When I say I I don't literally mean me, I'm speaking as the third person

Good Night Insomnia

Hello my night demons.

You're different from my other demons
clouding my ability to reason,
I have hated you and blamed you to a degree
but I should have known that it was always me.

But still you are demons and I feared for my sanity
as I layed in my bed screaming silently,
praying that the shadows would let me go
Insomnia is unhealthy, yes I know.

My demons stop this torture here
you have never been welcomed my dears,
so get the Hell out of my head
I want my demons to be dead.

If I have to fight them one by one
then **** I will and I have won,
those demons have not been back for 5 nights
I think I have finally found my light.

Good Night Insomnia

I know it's wrong
To ask you to hold me because I know that you can't stay
But I'd like to enjoy the wholeness of my heart
Before you leave and break it on the way

I know your a million miles away
On the other side of our bed
But If you'd just roll over
It could be five hundred thousand instead
And who knows maybe then
It'll be just close enough
For you to love me again
See im still to sick to admit
That theres an end to this
Forgive me i might be prejudice
Or bias could be a better word
But admitting defeat is obscenely absurd
I cant learn to yearn for you in the way that youd like
Like a friend in the day, and not even a thought in the night
I dont believe them when they say i cant make you love me
