I didn’t do anything special
don’t look at me with awe
nor shower me with adulation
Please, don’t place your faith in me
don’t place your trust in me
nor look to me for guidance
…I will only let you down

unsaid
This cannot be helped
what I have to say
is building up inside
it is ready to burst
This will eat at me
if I do not let it out
it could consume me
it is dangerous
This is maddening
What can I do about this?
Keep it bottled up?
Shout it out and make it known?
standing, waiting
She stands there
Smiling at me
My heart is begging me
To run and see her and hold her close
I stand here
Waiting for her
To give me the sign to give chase
I love her
She makes me feel
I can break free of these shackles
Which keep me
Bound and broken
Rising above it all and join her
Scenes from a Willow Tree… part 2
It’s another life,
another story
Just chalk it up to
something you
don’t wanna hear
A life of violence
a history of pain
All alone
she sheds a tear
In the shade
with his dying breath
he looks up at her
and smiles at death
Scenes from a Willow Tree… part 1
There’s always a soft, sorrowful sound
as the wind passes through the
Willow Tree
In the shadows of its weeping branches
you shall find me
In the shadows of the Willow Tree
you shall find me smiling at death
Forgive Myself
I could never forgive
myself for the mistakes
I made in the past
In my memories they shall stay
haunting me.
Cursing me
for giving them life
I only wish I knew how to change
and how to forgive myself
but I did this
I fucked up.
Now I am being
punished.
Not being able to forget…
I’ve been so blind
for so long
I want to learn to see.
I haven’t listened
to anyone
I want to learn to hear.
If only I could
learn to speak
how I feel for you
at the right time.
Please,
help me…
help me learn,
learn to forget
and forgive myself.
