A House Is Not A Home
A house is not a home
and now neither is ours
the day you left there world
left our faces with a throne
and though you were ready
we still wish it didn't have to be
cause a house is not a home
when its filled with sadness and misery
Bickering and arguments
left this family in pieces
as rules and laws are bent
and friends go away like diseases
a house is not a home
if a smile no longer comes
and time no longer stops
a house is not a home
if a heart beat feels like a stomp

Solitude
I sit in solitude
watch the clock on the wall
listening to every stroke go by
as my heart beat increases
as i slowly lose consciousness
my eyes shut and open to
each passing sound as i sit
in torment this
wait is killing me
slowly from the inside out
my only friend is George
but i know sooner or later
his gonna leave. The way he sit
arched on the wall looking at me
all hundred eyes gazing through me
like spares through the soul
oh George if only you wasn't a fly

Nightmare
this nightmare seems endless
no end to my pain
these demons look real
oh father heal me this pain won't
heal
i got knives cutting my self
ovee and over again
can't stop why o why
take me away i want to leave
this game
laying in a pool of my blood
i search for a sign as i cry out loud
save me someone save me
as i loss my last breathe
my head hit rhe cold concrete
as i see this whole new me
rocking back and forth singing
this lalabii

Day Of Recongning
upon the world i stand
with my scar torn back
among the midst of the wind
i blow a kiss
to sound up the trumpet
my fathers bidding is the
last bidding so repent children
of the father cause the final
moment is and the finest
moment by far
as we see the beginning of an empire
the downfall of eras
look as heaven armies conquers
land, air and sea
my father is that of the lord and let all
records show he is that of the world
judge jury and executioner
it time his children came home

On Life's Road
am a wreck on life's road
a train crash in a subway
permently stuck in my own
downfall destruction of a new era
a solo era in which my heart is
as cold as ice frozen off from
emotion and the effects of tears
damn i loss track of the road
i see clearly but yet am blind
creeple but yet i walk as i move on
day but day i walk along this path
lost as a child with out the parents
no one to save me as i sit in solitude
looking at the stranger in the mirror
as life goes on without me

How I envy Them
i see them sleeping
and man i envy them
cause in time it seems
they are at peace
they love the fact that
they get to sleep
no nightmares no fears
but i cant i just cant
for i am always in pain
i close my eyes and don't dream
vision keep running through
vision of you
the one i cared for and cherish
man these event have made
me cold,
and my heart done seek love no more
cause nothing last
i just rock back hoping to one day
be free, free to sleep, free to love
untill then time just goes by

Your Sweet Memory
bed rested and badly wounded
body in a twisted wreck as i lay
on my back losing consciousness
my eyes slip away as your
name whispers into my ear
i feel your warm lips press
against mine as
the hours time hold still
as am here wide awake with only you
on my mind, i visualize a place where is
just us no pain no
shame roaming freely
with love as our passion
i cried out for savior
and received a blessing
as i lose consciousness
i see your face in my
dreams as i smile and pass away

Let Not
let not the tears in your eyes
be of my death my love ones
but of words left unsaid
stuff left undone
and love left unportraied
let not those simple i love you's
go to waste cause life is short
and allow not the brewing war
to put a damp on your smile
but may it spark a revolution
for a growing civilization
let not the scars on the body
be the wounds on your heart
for it what hurt the soul we should
worry about as the pysical wound
heal with time as the mental scars
last a life time

Your Sorrows
I cry my self to sleep every night
as i wish you was here in my arms
a place where i can build you a fortress
and knight you queen as i listen as you sleep
see i know you're in pain
just by the way you fidget in your sleep
your teeth grind together to prevent you
from weeping, no shame when bug women cry
its ok cause you're hurting
and though you keep it bottled inside
the tears and fears on your face you cant hide
it hurt you deeply as i know you're dying inside
but outside you're looking fearless

Alone
being alone in this world
the peace takes over,
most men contemplate suicide
yet cant pull that trigger
because theres always a way out
from the peace, a reason,
and i found that reason i read
your notes and your feelings
i looked in your eyes and saw love,
and i gave it all up to go back,
back to the peace, where its
just me, and i don't hate it but
i don't love it either, so i stood
strong on top of that building
ready to jump
but........but.........
there a purpose i don't, .................
