Life A-Z
Another day of loneliness,
Betrayed by you, which causes a
Closing of my heart, that makes me feel
Dead inside.
Eviscerated is my soul, and
Fucked is my mind
Gone is my hope
Hell is my life .
Intentions mean nothing
Justification,there's none
Killing me is what you've done.
Love no longer exist
Missing what I had
Never did I see this twist.
Over the edge I've fallen
Plunged into darkness
Quiet are my screams
Restless is my
Soul, born in
Tragedy, raised in an
Unsightly and addictive ...
Betrayed by you, which causes a
Closing of my heart, that makes me feel
Dead inside.
Eviscerated is my soul, and
Fucked is my mind

Hell is my life .

Justification,there's none
Killing me is what you've done.
Love no longer exist
Missing what I had
Never did I see this twist.
Over the edge I've fallen
Plunged into darkness

Soul, born in

Someone like you
I Traveled the world you see
To find someone like you to love me
Even though you've broken it in two
Here I sit with a tube of crazy glue
Shatter it into pieces if you must
And then grind them to dust
Out of these ashes a Phoenix will arise
To take us beyond a new sun rise
Even as two became three
And we started our own family tree
Hacked away you did
But my love could not be out bid
So I sit here and wait
For you to open the gate
And let GOD in
To free you from sin
And wait here I will
Until your heart has had its fill...
To find someone like you to love me
Even though you've broken it in two
Here I sit with a tube of crazy glue
Shatter it into pieces if you must
And then grind them to dust
Out of these ashes a Phoenix will arise
To take us beyond a new sun rise
Even as two became three
And we started our own family tree
Hacked away you did
But my love could not be out bid
So I sit here and wait
For you to open the gate
And let GOD in
To free you from sin
And wait here I will
Until your heart has had its fill...

Alexander Joseph Cappel Revis
This one is for my son. If you should read it know that I'm still searching for you.
For years now I've searched for you
But I still can't find my little boy blue
The tears I've cried and blood I've shed
Yet my heart is filled with such dread
Never will I forget that look on your face
When I held you close in our happy place
Or how your eyes lit up with glee
When we crawled under the Christmas tree
I still think of you laying in bed at night
I will never give up this fight
God this is so unfair
Is what I think when I hold your teddy bear...
For years now I've searched for you
But I still can't find my little boy blue
The tears I've cried and blood I've shed
Yet my heart is filled with such dread
Never will I forget that look on your face
When I held you close in our happy place
Or how your eyes lit up with glee
When we crawled under the Christmas tree
I still think of you laying in bed at night
I will never give up this fight
God this is so unfair
Is what I think when I hold your teddy bear...

Casting the lot
Why did you cast this lot upon me
I don't know if I can handle it
I don't know if I want to
Or if I have the strength
I know I know, you gave me the knowledge,the wisdom
And the heart needed to own up to the task
But I don't know if I can
Forgiven Them is easy
But leading them to your light
That's the hard part
So I'm asking for strength, courage
And the motivation to take that first step
To leap into the abyss,
and have faith that you will catch me
I don't know if I can handle it
I don't know if I want to
Or if I have the strength
I know I know, you gave me the knowledge,the wisdom
And the heart needed to own up to the task
But I don't know if I can
Forgiven Them is easy
But leading them to your light
That's the hard part
So I'm asking for strength, courage
And the motivation to take that first step
To leap into the abyss,
and have faith that you will catch me

Stolen
You are a thief, taking more than i knew
My innocence stolen
My love also
My time, gone to never come back
My belief that I was part of something real.
My life, or at least several years of it
My faith, in that which we shared
My dignity, never have I felt such humiliation
My pride, always the last to know
My happiness, built on lies
My friend, stolen by him
My seed, taken under false pretense
Yes you are a thief, taken more than I know
My innocence stolen
My love also
My time, gone to never come back
My belief that I was part of something real.
My life, or at least several years of it
My faith, in that which we shared
My dignity, never have I felt such humiliation
My pride, always the last to know
My happiness, built on lies
My friend, stolen by him
My seed, taken under false pretense
Yes you are a thief, taken more than I know

In your pocket
Inside of me there used to be
A place where I could go and hide
Until you came along singing your sirens song
And opened the door with your key
Gently you took my heart from its nook
And placed it in your pocket
There it was still when you swallowed that bitter pill
And dropped you pants onto his floor
And when you picked them up you didn't give a fuck
That my heart had been forgotten
For too many seasons without rhyme or reason
My heart was on his floor
Then that day came and brought all the shame
And you...
A place where I could go and hide
Until you came along singing your sirens song
And opened the door with your key
Gently you took my heart from its nook
And placed it in your pocket
There it was still when you swallowed that bitter pill
And dropped you pants onto his floor
And when you picked them up you didn't give a fuck
That my heart had been forgotten
For too many seasons without rhyme or reason
My heart was on his floor
Then that day came and brought all the shame

Salt in the wound
Will I ever get what I want, probably not. I ask beg and plead, but you still won't. I don't know why it's not a hard thing I'm asking of you. Only that you tell the truth, stand up to those who don't have your best interest in mind, admit what you've done. It could be worse, I could ask you to leave me alone never to call or come over again. Your lack of action speaks volumes, your words mean nothing. It seems that it Does not matter that your hurting me more, only that you get your way. Why? Have I not always been honest with you, faithful and loving as well. Have I not done what you...

The ring
How can it weigh so much? It's just a small gold ring.
Laying cold on my chest, tangled with the cross.
So heavy I think the chain will break.
I remember when, working late in many kitchens.
I would raise my hand and kiss this ring, thinking of you, our love, our home, our dreams, our desires.
It seemed so light, so warm, it fit so right
It was my totem, symbol of commitment
Each kiss a promise, a touch, a song sang in my head to you.
But no more does it feel right,
No more promises made, songs sang.
Now it just lays cold and heavy on my...
Laying cold on my chest, tangled with the cross.

Medley
This poem was originally written by my father for my mother. Is so beautiful I had to share.
If I could create the world anew,
I would start with just you and I,
Lazy summer days,
Tall yellow flowers,
And cool evening winds,
Each day a rainbow,
And Each night, a falling star,
I perhaps a poet,
And you, just as you are
If I could create the world anew,
I would start with just you and I,
Lazy summer days,
Tall yellow flowers,
And cool evening winds,
Each day a rainbow,
And Each night, a falling star,
I perhaps a poet,
And you, just as you are
