The Painful Past
paul passero Feb 2016
No I didn't sign up for this,
This being alone.
Yeah I had no idea,
'Bout your heart of stone.
I was up there in the clouds,
Not seeing the signs.
Just falling further down,
Not watching the time.
Time watch it slip away,
As the days go by.
You're already on your way,
And I'm left behind.
Behind the dreams I'll never see,
Thru the painful past.
I watch you drift away,
Under the spell you cast.

Way Too Late
paul passero Feb 2016
Can't find the future,
I've lost the past.
My mind is shattered,
Like broken glass.
One too many,
A line too long.
Burn another,
The needles drawn.
Way too high,
Can't hear a sound.
It's way too late,
I'm six feet down.

YOU
paul passero Feb 2016
YOU
As my tears rolled into the ocean,
My heart took off to the sky.
What's left of my mind,
Is in restless scatter.
Can't see a thing,
With these blinded eyes.
Blinded by the pain you left here,
Burned by the path you blazed.
Confused and lonely,
Nothing feels right.
My mind's in a twisted haze.

I'm Done
paul passero Feb 2016
Same prayer every night,
Still seeing daylight.
Why won't he take my hand,
To the promised land.
Don't wanna work,
Hate paying them bills.
No one to hold,
Nothing to feel.
This life is so empty,
No time to ****.
I'm ready to pass,
Make this day my last....

The End
paul passero Feb 2016
Ready to go,
Wanting to fly.
Feeling like,
Lifes past you by.

Nothing to want,
No one to need.
Empty thoughts,
Hopeless  dreams.

No reason to wake,
No spirit to move.
Reality's gone,
Existence is through.

The Deal
paul passero Feb 2016
The stakes were high,
The pain is real.
The cards were drawn,
You cut the deal.

These flames will burn,
Your path alone.
No one beside you,
This deal's your own.

You've signed the deal,
The devil's spoken.
All lives are shattered,
All deals....are broken.
This is an old one, 1/26/04

VOICES
paul passero Feb 2016
I'm rolled up,
On the bedroom floor.
Dam these voices,
They're at my door.
They keep a knockin'
Won't let them in.
These haunting voices,
No way they'll win.
I'm much too strong,
They're way too weak.
My mind they want,
My soul they seek.
It's mine to keep,
My head they rattle.
They've got no chance,
I'll win this battle.
Be strong.....

The Twisted Path
paul passero Feb 2016
Here I go again,
heading down that twisted path.
Heading up on a downward spiral.
Did I pass you on this crazy journey?
Looking in from the out,
No one's in there but me.
Looking up from below,
It's plain to see.
Just empty space,
Where my life used to be.
Now here I go again,
Heading UP that twisted path,
My mind is now free.
This journey called life,
Not so crazy after all.....
To a very special person in my life....

Lying in bed
paul passero Feb 2016
Lying in bed,
awake.
Dreaming about you....
My thoughts are hard,
Wanting to touch you.
Your skin against mine,
Melting into one. ....
This place is on fire!
My tongue does the dance,
And brings you to that place,
We all desire.
Lying in bed,
Awake......

Awake
paul passero Feb 2016
Tortured with passion,
Tested by time.
Longing to touch you,
I'll be denied.
Thoughts full of you,
Etched in my mind.
I'll search for the answer,
Never to find.
A way to put,
These dreams aside.
Once I awake,
Your all that I find.

Destiny
paul passero Feb 2016
All the prayers in the world,
All the hope in our hearts,
We can't change a thing,
With wishes on stars.

There is no choice,
So make no bets.
The path has been chosen,
Destiny's set.

So don't ask for an answer,
'Cause no one can say.
Just live life to the fullest,
Like it's your last day!
paul passero Feb 2016
She sang like an angel,
When buzzed like a bee.
Laughed at the pain,
From her hands to her feet.
Her little white friend,
Right there by her side.
Her touch made me quiver,
Her smile made me high.
She took it all in,
Our dance was on fire.
The music we made,
Turned into desire.

Your Broken Heart
paul passero Jan 2016
Knowing it, will never be.
Knowing I'll, never see.
Still you fill, my heart with love.
Still you fill, my head with lust.

Once again, I took the ride.
Once again, I'll never find.
Standing here, all alone.
Burnt again, your heart of stone.

Someday soon, your turn will come.
Someday soon, no where to run.
You'll feel the ache, your pain will start.
Now you've got, your broken heart.

The Confession
paul passero Jan 2016
I have a confession,
I've never been here,
But I've been there.
I've never been high,
But I've been oh so low.
My next confession,
I've never been fast,
but I've been oh so slow.
Never told a lie,
But I've told no truth.
My last confession,
With nothing left to say,
But so much on my mind.
With half my mind lonely,
And the other half blind.

Through Her Eyes
paul passero Jan 2016
No one's right,
No one's wrong.
My lip it quivers,
I must be strong.

I fight the tears,
I hide the sorrow.
Whose house is it,
When I wake tomorrow?

I don't understand,
They just don't see.
That when they fight,
The hurt's on me.

I love them both,
Why not each other?
I miss....my dad,
I miss...my mother.
I wrote this as I was driving with my niece and sister. My sister was explaining to my niece why her parents were getting a divorce.

MY MOTHER
paul passero Jan 2016
Each day I awake,
I see the sun shine.
When I lay down to sleep,
The dreams are all mine.

All the joy that I feel,
All the pain that I hide.
She may be far away,
But she's right by my side.

She showed me the right,
When I did the wrong.
She gave me the strength,
When I couldn't go on.

The love that she taught,
Compares to no other.
She gave me my life,
There's no love like my mother's.

CHANGE
paul passero Jan 2016
The waste of a day
The waste of a night
Another change in the seasons
No change in your life

Wanting it different
To travel new paths
Losing the sorrow
Learning to laugh

Life is not easy
One must put up a fight
Just don't sit in your corner
That's a waste of your life.

— The End —
