You’re just a gift unborn
A few months along in life
I was never alone
Cause my heart you did reside.

You’re sisters not ready
But I’ll know she’ll be in time
In just three months
Your love will be all mine.

And I sing to you softly
For now and all of our life
Can’t wait to hold you
And look deep in those eyes.

I woke up cold to the snow
And somethings not right at all
Just a few hours later...
I got the doctors call

Now December tore my soul into pieces
I can’t see a future without your presence
And I wish I didn’t have to remember
The excitement I felt about your big entrance
  
I feel alone
in this dark winter haze
My heart feels scorned
I’m tired of strangers embrace

Now it’s Christmas Day
And I’m thinking about your life,
how it was so short lived
And I’m still in the dark as to why.

You gave into the life of rock and fame;
Dove into to crowds that screamed your name.
But you broke your vows along the way
And took comfort in these vices that mixed up your days.

You let that devil on your shoulder put his voice in your head
And wound up with schoolgirls asleep in your bed.
And the angel that wept in the back of your mind
Has dwindled to nothingness after all this time.

You walk this tightrope between “good or evil”
Deluded decisions you made from that needle.
And with each and every step you take
Yet another young girls soul sure breaks.

You’ve poured in their mouths deceit from your spoon
And the strings of innocent hearts become untuned.
And I wonder if you have regret in your heart
From tearing those lives who loved you apart.

Spreading your sickness to all those around.
Poor victims that fell for your melodic sound.
But one day someone will break down your empire.
And set that rope you walk on, on fire.

You are somewhere between
my unhurried steps and
the unhurried stars that
break free and easy from
the branch of rain that
hides half the world.

You are something between
the wild words of Yeats and
the wild words of your own,
handed to me across
the four hour sea,
full of firsts.

My thunderous roars entranced you.
I pushed you to me with howling, heavy winds.
I Surrounded your heart with blackened clouds
And drowned your soul with the water beneath them.

On the waves of stormy emotions
I dragged you from the safety of the shore
And mindlessly you came to me
A more broken man than you’ve been before.

You chose to hear my song of solemn
Resonating within my familiar hymn.
When you arrived with eyes glossed over
you pleaded in broken cries for me to take you in.

When I kissed your lips to drink your warmth
My mouth caressed your sorrow  
I felt you praying for this day,
Wishing to never see tomorrow.

I sang you into that gentle sleep
And did so painfully
For I kissed away the pain you felt
That I’ve only seen within me.

She plays violin on her wrists
Sinfully beautiful symphonies appear on her skin
Like paper sheets her blood will flow
With eyes determined on the price
She watches the last bit of her soul seep out of her wounds
A lonely sound escapes her lips
The last lonely sound she'll ever make
Now she's in a different place
And replaced the violin for clouds

Boys and girls grow up and out the front door.

those kiddy lawns to grandparent’s domain.
That blue sky, however, remains the same.
