A Simple Story

On a silent day, beneath a golden sun
A lonesome soul walks by
His head bowed low, his lips a frown
His eyes show he had cried
And then he sat, the world he shunned
And wept till tears run dry

And then a soul walked by once more
And sat beside the child
She rest her hand on his heart that's sore
And whispered words so mild
"I love you so, perhaps much more
My heart you have beguiled."

He looked into her eyes
He spoke words so soft
"I love you so, I could not lie
My heart you've caught aloft
But our love won't last, it will die
We shouldn't be so daft."

"Don't say such words my precious one,
I promise our love will last.
I'll do all I can, your love I've won,
I won't lose it to our past.
Please stay, you can't be gone.
My heart you musn't cast!"

He stood, he didn't fight.
She stood beside him still.
He held her so close, so tight.
With tears her eyes were filled.
They walked into the night,
With happiness their hearts are filled.

My Angel

Farewell my angel
You've shed your wings
And now you're falling

I cannot hope to catch you
For my arms you've bound

I cannot hope to save you
For my soul you've blinded

Farewell my angel
Farewell forever

Sanity in Question

I am at the edge of sanity, my mind almost at insanity
Holding on with one hand, oe by one my fingers slip
Slowly, I tumble into the darkness
The light of sanity slowly fading away

But the darkness of insanity is what I wished for
Sanity is my fear, my weakness, my hatred, my former love
Insanity is what I long for, what I wanted to have
The broken mind is my sanctuary

The crazy need not care for others
The mad need not wish for help
The insane need not love from others
The broken minds need not other people

This is my mind speaking at its last moments of sanity
My heart grew silent in its sleep
My soul grew tired of the world around it
And softly, I say farewell to the world I used to love

Old Friend

Hello old friend, so long we've last met.
You're fine my friend, my life isn't fair.
Others cast me off like an unwanted pet,
And threw me to my life of despair.

My heart is dying, that much I'll tell,
And my soul is waning, to sleep forever.
I have loved a friend, in love I fell,
In pain eternal, in pure woe and despair.

But so long I held on, I spared no thought,
Of my sake nor others but only her smile.
Her heart I held, for I have fought,
Only to feel the pains of denial.

Now I weep in the sorrow of what I have felt,
Now I cry in the midst of other's laughter.
My heart is now dying, my soul will soon melt,
The pains of my heart, of emotional slaughter,
I have felt all the pains in the world.

Long Ago

'Twas long ago that first we met,
'Twas long ago beneath the sunset.
The orange sun low on the sky,
Your smile smile beguiling, I can't deny.

But all had died, all has ended
You cast me off like nothing.
Then you left, as though nothing happened,
You broke my heart, destroyed everything.

Let others weep, let others cry,
Let them wail 'till tears run dry.
But I'll be strong, I'll not shed a tear,
I shan't weep, this pain I'll bear.

Long before, I used to cry.
But never shall I weep again.
My heart is dead, my tears are dry,
I will not weep, this is the end.
