a lifeless soul lying there
water filled eyes trying not to stare
the empty body fills the room with despair
because this is not the man we love and share
who's body is in front of my eyes?
should I go and say my final goodbyes?
I do not want to remember him like this
for he was more than just a farewell kiss
who's body lies so dead and weak
yet people compliment his physique
I cry I cry I cry I cry
I will not say my final goodbye
close that casket for I will not stare
I don't know who's body is lying there
I softly shoot my glance that way
but it is not right to not let his body decay
he is dead
dead as dead can be
I refuse to remember what I see
he was a man full of love and laughter
yet this dead body changes how I remember him after
close that casket for I will not stare
I don't know who's body is lying there
I do not wish to remember your body dead
I will remember the days before and not ahead
I know you were more than just a body in the ground
I love you always, please sleep safe and sound
use that satin pillow for your head
now close that casket, for he is dead.

Life is Beautiful
yet sometimes clouds will fill your sky
Life is Short
yet its the longest thing you will ever do
Life is Full
yet it will always fill with emptiness
Life is Clear
yet a fog will always pass you by
Life is Amazing
yet it will have days that are rough
Life is Planned
yet it will always leave you feeling lost
Life is Great
yet it will forever have ups and downs
Life is Beautiful
we owe it to ourselves to always remember that
no matter what
Life is Beautiful

you are so full of love and emotion
such a strong devotion
you tell me how you feel
it doesn’t seem real
your love seems so strong
where does it go wrong
you lie and you cheat
I take a backseat
this is an ongoing streak
you have made me so weak
manipulations to expectations
why do I make accommodations
I need to learn to understand
I need to handle this firsthand
I was so full of love and emotion
I had such a strong devotion
but now is my exit, my final motion

we were so happy for so long
we thought we thought
but we were wrong
our lives became one very sad song
there was no hope or feels inside
we sat, we shook, we screamed, we cried
I just can’t believe that he lied
lied to the only person there to confide
oh we were so happy for so long
but now I look stupid cause I was wrong
I just hope I can be strong...

Ouch. my heart bleeds
the blood drips down my shirt
help this pain spreads like weeds
for I am so hurt

the blood it drips so fast from my heart
I wish I could have a brand new start
this deep heart rupture, I need a cast
please help, how long will this feeling last

the pain so hard and strong
it eats at my soul all day long
I cannot move a muscle or tendon
frozen in time, yet I still defend him

Ouch. my heart bleeds
the blood drips down my shirt
help this pain spreads like weeds
for I am so hurt

Can you erase a face of the past
can you leave that look in the dark
will you ever put that person last
or will you always feel that special spark
someone so close and special one time
has turned into a simple poem or rhyme
was that really all that they meant to you
or can the rules of love be bent for new
are there special exemptions
or certain redemptions
i was never taught how to feel love
or how to let it go like a soaring dove
should you release what you cannot hold
before it turns so cold and old
or should you keep what you maybe can fix
try and build it up like a stack of bricks
so many different twisted situations
will your choice meet the strict expectations
or can you erase a face of the past
can you leave that look in the dark
will you ever put that person last
or will you always feel that special spark?
