Walking down the Road to Nowhere
Towards my destination while talking to my partner
We never knew the night's outcome
Sleep and talk
Play the games
Must survive the next two hours
Smoke a cigarette
Look at watch
Just another hour until another cigarette burnt
Sweat fills my helmet and vest
Looking out onto darkness over the barricades
My soul fills with laughter and cheer of childish games
The sandbags around the structure crumble
As I sit down and grab my Night Vision Goggles
Nothing to see so I put them back down
Continue to play childish games
And sing childish songs
Then we begin singing Pop goes the Weasel
And all Hell b
At the Moon's Light,
We are the ones
That begin into this world
Struggling with life
Clawing Our way free
Day in, Day out
We die at the moon's light
We take forms
To please the people We love
Just so, We don't lose them
Then losing becomes Us
Day in, Day out
Just to die at the moon's light
Sacrificed it all
To be freed
Only to be chained again
By those same lies We tell ourselves
Day in, Day Out
Again, We die at the moon's light
One last time
We go for freedom
But those chains never hold Us
Only carry Us
Day in, Day Out
Finally, We die once more at the moon's light
Stay up all night with me, and
Hold my hand in your hand.
Hold me tight and don't let go.
Let's make angels in the snow.
I would whisper in your ear
As you wiped away a tear.
We can be together forever,
Fulfill our every endeavor.
I don't want to be alone.
I'm still fearing the unknown.
I just want you next to me,
Want you, don't want to be free.
I try so hard now not to break,
Put on a smile that's too fake.
I try so hard not to be fragile.
I have a void only you can fill.
I need you here by my side.
Anything else is a lie.
I won't be okay without you here -
No, not without my beautiful dear.

The Broom Sweeps Onward.
Swept away, unable to care
Lost in the moment,
Despite knowing it's not fair.
You're hopeless, it's true,
In this situation you're in.
Yet your friends try to help you,
Try to make their amends.
You laugh as they lunge,
Desperately wanting to save you,
But forever you plunge
Refusing to cling onto
-Those who hurt you so deeply
You cannot forgive.
Those who treated you so cheaply
You had nothing left to miss.
The broom sweeps onward
Leaving you lying in dust.
You must choose to move forward
Or just lie there and rust.
Dreading the nightfall
She fled from this place
Clutching to her, a shawl
And covering her face.
Cold nipping her bare skin
Her old wrap tattered and worn.
Yet, not trapped in her prison
Like a phoenix, reborn.
She fled south as the winter fell,
Snow turned to slush in the heat.
The shawl rewoven with little bells
Earth loved beneath her feet.
Sunlight kissing her now life-flushed cheek,
The bird's future, no longer so bleak.
Clink and click as the washers move around
Fresh lemon and others fill the air
Dirty becomes clean
Strange people form around the dryers
Their eyes radiate
Their minds are blank
Fold, crease, over again
Looking down seeing thread bare
Wishing for more, wanting less
Needing this and watching them
Wondering when the strike will happen
Just maybe they wouldn't notice too much
Then in one swift moment
And they was on top of me
Choking me
Killing my vision
I wished and prayed to get away
While I just died and died again

This Life Is No Longer My Own
It started a year ago on November 21st 2013
With a single phone call my world would begin to have a new meaning
From that single day on I knew there was something about you that I couldn't dismiss
It goes back to that very first kiss and to the emptiness I feel because you are dearly missed
I tried my best to not pay no mind
But the feelings that were slowly starting to surface I could no longer hide
Each day that passed I fell more into a dark hole
The one who I thought loved me actually showed that he didn't at all
Painful words and harsh words dove into me like a sharp sword
I felt like life was at that point...well pointless
My thoughts b
