Back to the start
Alex John Peace Apr 2015
Back to the start,
To fix my heart.
Up goes my wall,
Up goes my guard.
Show no emotion,
Don't want people to see my pain,
Paint on a smile and tell them I'm OK.
This is not the end of me.
I never give up,
I'm battered and bruised,
But I'll come back.

Broken Promises
Alex John Peace Mar 2015
Broken promises,
Faded dreams,
Everything is not what it seems,
Sleep cures,
But it doesn't last,
Dreams take over,
But reality comes back.

Times change,
People don't ,
Want to love you,
But i wont,
Close your eyes,
No more lies,
Can't go through,
Not for you.

Sister
Alex John Peace Mar 2015
And then it happened,
In a blink of an eye,
She was gone,
As i say my last goodbye,

She was such a happy girl,
With a beautiful smile,
Although her life was short,
She made everyday worthwhile.

My sister has gone,
With smiles and good times,
I have no one to sing our songs,
No best friend to sing our rhymes.

My little sister,
My heroine,
A true fighter until the end.
I never thought  i'd be the one,
To lose a little sister who was so young.

Sleep tight
Alex John Peace Mar 2015
Sleep tight my angel,
Sweet dreams my dear,
I kiss you one last time,
As my eyes fill up with tears.

To see you laying there,
So motionless and grey,
It breaks my heart,
As people struggle with what to say.

My stomach turns,
With a empty feeling deep inside,
This pain,
So strong i can not hide.

Don't give up
Alex John Peace Mar 2015
What do you do when your life comes crashing down?
Everyone you loved is no longer around,
You try so hard but keep getting knocked back,
In the end you say "**** it" and hit on a bottle of Jack,
Nothing is going right in your life,
And you cry yourself to sleep at night,
The only thing that sounds appealing,
Is commiting suicide.

Don't give up,
Don't give up on life,
because some day,
Your life will go right.

Life is a rollercoaster,
It has it's highs and lows,
But it's no one elses decision,
But yours on which path you choose to go.
Sometimes we're right,
Sometimes we're wrong,
It doesn't mean you don't belong.

All the people we've loved and lost,
We pray for guidance from up above,
So before you go and grab that knife,
Think about it,
Don't waste your life.

Don't give up,
Don't give up on life,
Because some day,
Your life will go right.

lust
Alex John Peace Mar 2015
Your lips so soft and red,
The thoughts of kissing you is stuck in my head,
your beauty so bright and warm,
Shining through  the darkest storm,
Your eyes like fire,
Light my day,
Through darkest night,
you lead my way.

Your neck a vision,
A road to bliss,
A trail from which i plant a kiss.

Your voice like music to my ears,
The sweetest sound of your laugh,
I long to hear.

listen to the lyrics
Alex John Peace Mar 2015
Listen to the lyrics,
Feel the beat,
As it ignites your heart,
And moves your feet.

Listen to the lyrics,
Watch it move your soul,
the sentences you hear,
Give you shivers
Like you've never had before.

Listen to the lyrics,
Let them take you for a ride,
A rollercoaster of emotions,
Run through your mind.

Listen to the lyrics,
And you will see,
It's more than a song with a beat,
It's poetry that can melt your heart,
It's memories and scars,
It's inspiration from deep within,
it's music filled with sin,

Listen to the lyrics,
And you will see,
It's more than a song with a beat.

Count down before Christmas
Alex John Peace Mar 2015
Photos, memories of you and me
Us lot smiling together like a proper family.
Why did they have to come and take you away?
Now we're left broken, trying to be brave and pretend that everything is okay.

11 months now since you passed,
I can't believe the months have gone so fast,
And i can't stop the tears from running down my face
As we count down to Christmas Day.
This poem was written about my little Sister who died on 31st January 2012. I wrote the poem on the first Christmas after her passing.

— The End —
