I have no intention of hurting anyone
Or making them feel pain in their beating hearts
But i seem to accidentally tear them apart
God help this poor soul of mine
I'm not trying to buy time
I'm just hoping you'll understand what i'm trying to say
How many times do i have to mess this up?
I'm so sorry i'm this ravaging idiot
I hope you can forgive me, God
I hope i can forgive myself
I hope they can forgive me
I carry toy guns with bullets
Expecting foam bullets
I'm just a man who wants peace and love
I am flawed to the core
I'm not sure if i can take this much more
It's usually another day in the office to feel this way
But i always get one of those rare days
Where everything isn't feeling my way
I'm on my knees, praying for some solace in my adventure.

To Write Love on Her Arms

I will
write love on her arms
so many and so deep
that it courses through her veins
and into her
heart.

I will
write love on her arms
so she can stop hurting
even though she loves the pain
which is the
hardest part.

I will not
stop loving her,
even if she lets me go,
because through all of this
I'll let her know she is loved
by everyone she knows.

I will not
abandon her in her darkest times of need
I will not however
be her knight in shining armor
gallant and proud
on a strong new steed.

She will not know that
this lowly peasant
comes from a nothing more
than a small house
with nothing to call my own.
Where the hardest part for me
was finding a different dial up phone.

So she walks,
so she talks
and seems okay,
but as her friend
who loves her so,
I want her to walk away.

From the pain
the sadness,
the misery,
I want her to walk on her own,
and far away from me.

I am her crutch,
but I am not her life,
and alas poor Yorick,
she is not to be my lovely wife.

But still I shall
keep her lifted up, safe from all harms
if only for a chance
to write love
all on her
arms.

Unrequited Love

Hickey

He made sure to show I belonged to him.
And of course his trade mark,
was a bruise.

Unity Beyond The Grave

We live in a time of war,
Of suffering and of pain.
We forget to be united,
And that is just insane.

We should be united,
With our family and each friend.
As they march into battle,
And fight until the end.

We must continue to be united,
To the end of that dark cave.
Continue to be united,
Way beyond the grave.

Remember When

Remember when I broke my arm
you held me and promised
I would come to no harm
You lied

My arm was snapped,
you’d finally hit me too hard
No one believed me
they said my lying had gone too far

Remember when I won my race
the way the crowd cheered
I was on top of the world
But you weren't there

The pub meant more
your head was pounding
I wanted to tell you
but I didn't make a sound

Remember when school phoned
They saw my bruises
you said I was learning to box
That was true

I had become you're punching bag
Never dared to hit back
you would only react
So I just stood there

Can you remember when she left
we were torn apart
I was missing a key part of my life
You weren't

You told me it was my fault
But I knew it was yours
She was too scared to run
You pushed her over the edge

Can you remember when I left
You didn't even say goodbye
instead you let out a sigh of relief
That was the final straw

I’m back now
This time I won’t back down
you have got away with too much
Now it is my turn

A stone through you window
All your bottles smashed
I torched you car
My heart is detached

I’ve got my revenge
It has all come to an end
I hope you’re glad
I will never call you dad

I See You Everyday

I see you everyday
And everyday it hurts
I don't know what to say
But everyday gets worse

This feeling in my heart
Is torturing my soul
And when we are apart
I feel so alone

If only you could know
What I feel for you
If only someone told me
What I have to do

What I have to do
To one day make you mine
Can it one day come true?
Can happiness be found?
