Because "blind" is not a four letter word,
     and you can't hear
     a thing I'm saying.
Because life is an object,
     and your soul is taken
     for granted when you say
     you don't care.
Because you'll always be
     and that's how you'll come to find
     that the world doesn't adjust,
     you do.
Because from now on
     there's nothing stopping you
     from making your own choices.
Because that's life
     and everyone's alone
     at one point or another.

Keepsake
Roxanne Pepin Feb 2010
We'll keep it the way we want it,
Preserve it for all to see,
The love I have for you,
And the love you have for me.

Don't Swim
Roxanne Pepin Feb 2010
Drown yourself in sorrow,
Keep the tears for 'morrow,
Today is where it ends,
You're left alone to fend.

No One Cares
Roxanne Pepin Feb 2010
The power of the Devil,
A love, never unconditional,
The sun never sets in hell,
You'll be missing out and no one can tell.

Ouin,
Roxanne Pepin Feb 2010
Why continue life with lost hopes,
       Not a thing to be said, I won't sit here and mope.
Why would I try again,
       And find nothing but failure in the end?
Why go on without you,
       Going through life without a clue.
If only I hadn't misunderstood your words,
If only you'd spoken to the birds,
And told me,
                                                   Baby, I'm saying yes.
You'd have to understand that ouin in french means yes, and it sounds like why, to understand this.
