Our children will be loved, I know that’s true
Because I will love them as much as I love you
For us to go through this cruel world together
That will be my ultimate prayer

A year has passed since I saw that face
You left me alone without a single trace
Memories came back, those which I regret
Memories of you I once struggled to forget

And there you were in a cold, breezy night
looking at my eyes, what a perfect sight
I wished the night wouldn’t let go
I hate to admit but I missed you so

Darkness awaits to conquer the sky
As the sun sets down and bids goodbye
We will gaze upon the stars of the night
As we hold hands under the moon’s light

You were my queen and yours was my heart
The one who completed my missing part
Your name was my one-word poetry
but your demise is my greatest tragedy

I never understood why I loved her so
She was wrong for me but I couldn’t let go
I was on a high when I was with her
She was my ecstasy, everything else became a blur

I have lost the path that you once paved
I continue to struggle as I look down your grave
I didn’t want to fail you I know you raised me well
If only you were here, there’s so much I want to tell

Who would've thought that you will be
the most beautiful woman I will ever see
My world changed the moment you came
and in yours, I promise to do the same

I so longed for you since I was a child
I'll never forget your touch; oh so mild
you were years ahead of me; I didn't care
all that mattered was your beauty; oh so rare

Teary eyes and police lines, I can’t forget
arriving at a tragic scene full of regret
Bullets were fired as dreams faded away
Why didn’t I just go home that day?

I will always dread Judas’ day of August
Forever will haunt me, you whom I lost
I should’ve been there to say goodbye
Now it’s too late and all I can do is cry

Our memories are all that remain
Your demise will be my greatest pain
As I lay by your stone I can’t help but wonder
Would my life be different if you were here my father?

I live this life without you and it hurts so much
I would give up everything to have one last touch
The devil devoured me by the darkness of hatred
I look into the mirror the monster it created

She was alone, damaged and broken
Lips filled with words unspoken
Her very soul conquered by fear
The least she did was to shed a tear

She bore the agony of a traumatic past
Nightmares haunted her like they’ll never last
Her precious innocence shattered like a glass
Her childhood slipped away as moments passed

But she grew stronger than ever before
Her lips were in silence no more
She learned to speak of that dreadful day
She stood up, looked back, and put the past away

Please don’t judge me by the way I look
What we read is the content of a book
I may not be pleasing to your discriminating eyes
but I have people who love me, they have reasons why

From the billions of the world's faces
A person comes once in a while
He tries to be in your good graces
putting up a fake but promising smile

He fools you about changing your life
but then you're about to know
that he stabbed you at the back with a knife
His true self has started to show

Your heart beats a bit more fast
You feel the person's demented wrath
You wonder when the torture will last
You're in the clutches of a psychopath

Let this be a lesson and guide
about knowing a person too soon
every person has another side
just like the dark side of the moon

Now that I’ve moved on, I should be grateful
You were a lesson learned, and now I’m careful
I cannot believe I ever became that stupid
to fall in love with someone like you, thanks a lot cupid!

I look at this concrete jungle
Skyscrapers racing to touch the heavens above
I can't help but think of all the people inside them
working tirelessly to make ends meet
People who don't necessarily love what they do for a living
Slaves to the corporate machine
Sacrificing the time that's supposed to be for their families
while those at the top of the pyramid laugh at those who toil
The consequences of being cogs of a broken system

I will never have another dad
All I can cherish are moments we had
My world changed because of your sudden loss
and I live this life bearing that heavy cross

I walk alone this empty street
too long have I waited
the woman I desired to meet
thoughts of her have faded

You tell your story like it’s an unending sorrow
yet there’s always a promise of a bright tomorrow
I know true love is what you always wanted
but loving him is wrong because he takes you for granted

Plutocrats reaping all the money
digging laborers' graves
while toilers work due to necessity
as corporate slaves

We were cursed for the sins of our past
because I knew what we had will never last
You will always be my biggest mistake
You will always be my greatest heartache

Millions cheer upon hearing his name
Basking in the light of glory and fame
The stage is set for another epic night
Crowd roars upon catching him in sight

His words awaken the most dormant of souls
Music made by a true legend of rock and roll
His guitar strikes the chords of any beating heart
Every one of his songs are genuine works of art

As the lights turn off and the music stops to play
He goes back stage and the happiness fades away
He patiently waits as the night starts to fall
and drowns himself with *** drugs and alcohol

He looks into the mirror as time comes to a stop
He realizes how lonely it is to be at the top
He leans his head on the white wooden wall
Maybe that bullet wasn't such a bad idea after all

I was your puppet your strings attached
caught in the spell of your beauty unmatched
my will and mind were overmatched
I was always at your dispatch

Still oblivious to reality
our precious little one
yet to face life's cruelty
your world has just begun

I mourn your mind's innocence
yet envy your pure heart
time is of the essence
your life is about to start

I smile at your naive words
you have a lot of things to know
Life isn't just rainbows and birds
something you'll learn as you grow

In this pursuit of purpose I continue to struggle
Every step I take I trip and I stumble
Maybe this life is just not for me
Call me a pessimist but that’s what it seems to be

Moments have passed and I discover
what I feared all this time
You found yourself a man, a lover
You are no longer mine
