Make it Hurt

Folder: 
New Lyrics

 

No more empty stares

No fortune and fame

No more hollow prayers

Done playing this game

 

Take away the tears

Take away the shame

Take back all these years

Take back all the blame

 

If you could

Make me feel something

If you would 

Let me feel nothing

Just do what you're gonna do

But whatever you do

Could you make it hurt

 

Take away the tears

Take away the shame

Take back all these years

Take back all the blame

 

If you could

Make me feel something

If you would 

Let me feel nothing

Just do what you have to do

But whatever you do

Could you make it hurt 

 

If you could only make it hurt this time

 

If you could

Make me feel something 

If you would

Let me feel nothing

Just do what you have to do

But whatever you do

Could you make it hurt

Sadness

Sadness 

 

Rules, my soul.

While my heart, lays waning.

I miss each touch, and every kiss.

And still, my body...., lays, wanting.

Love.

Never, more...... I'll be.

Not, once more, will I see.

And while my lips, crack, and chafe.

In dreams.

I only think, of those, long.... dead.

N kiss, lost .....forgotten lovers.

Only ever thinking, of the past.

So my wish, is, not,.....to dream.

For my past, is my future.

And, so, it ...... remains. 

Tomorrow, will be, yesterday......

While today, will ever be .

The day preceding .... My death.

While

An emotion

 

Stole my soul..,,

As Sadness can manifest itself….

Times in 2023

As Sadness can manifest itself….

 

In many forms. 

A once forgotten moment . 

Of a joyous time. 

Which brings forth tears. 

A sigh ..,..

because….of a memory.

Of missing part of your life.

Left longing, 

for those tender moments,

once shared…..

Memories of days when ..,

skies were blue.

And in the evenings, 

when we reached …..

For the stars and the moon. 

No impossibles.

No signs of sad times

Only …together dreams. 

Never a fleeting moment, 

Just a list …….

of many. 

Where.

A melancholy, moment.

Was only one.

Leaving you to think.

Sometimes 

 

you just want to look at the moon

Forever in your heart

Forever in your heart!

as the time for me and you draws near
as we say goodbye our hearts are full of fear
never forget even thou were really far apart
i will always be forever in your heart
even thou i am not with you out there
know that i will always be right here
the time we spent together never will depart
my love goes with you anywhere forever in your heart
in life our paths will lead us down a different road
and when the sadness goes into overload
just look inside yourself way past all the hurt
thats where you'll see me im forever in your heart

Unfinished Masterpiece

Folder: 
Published

I was asked if I believe in true love, 

I was asked, how do I know it's real? 

My answer is yes, 

I truly believe it can be real,

But I really don't know. 

It's something I've never got to feel. 

I've had sweet lies, 

And stories told about happy endings that never happen. 

But me? 

I'm just out here with my easel and paints, 

Setting up camp with broken souls, 

The ones I think will look beautiful,

Painted next to my own bruised and damaged soul, 

And painting blindly, 

Hoping to create a masterpiece.

I'm not sure if this is done yet ...... 

Death Of My Dreams

 

I watched...

while silent tears, of one-sided grief,

slowly ran in rivulets down my cheeks.

Last rights were spoken, but did nothing

to undo the wrongs.

 

DNR, written in blood red, screamed from off

the charted page of an empty file.

Life support was removed and helplessly I stood,

watching, waiting,

until the colors drained, a last breath was drawn

and all that remained, was white-sheeted regret.

~~~

No mourners, save for myself,

cared to view or grieve, or even offer comfort

to this bereaved soul.

 

I sat alone, in a high-backed, burgundy upholstered chair,

while somber music wafted past my ears

and parlor scents permeated my senses.

 

I eulogized out loud,

speaking of wasted time,

unmet goals, long-held regrets,

and unhealed scars,

but my words only echoed back, in taunt,

in the hollowness of the vacant chairs.

~~~

I, the lone mourner,

in single-filed procession,

marched,

unaccompanied,

past the weathered stones of others. 

I said my 'goodbye' graveside,

as a soft rain fell, in a mingling of tears, and dirt, to mud...

 

Tossing one red rose

and a handful of rich, brown soil,

There...right there,

I buried my dreams,

a mere six feet below

my hopes.

I'm not sorry

I'm not sorry for giving you up!

I am sorry I was not given the tools to be a better mother.

I am sorry for all the pain and suffering you endured over the years. 

I'm not sorry for walking away, as I believe it would have been worse had I stayed!

I can not change the past.

I live in the present and look to the future.

Dwelling only prolongs the pain.

 

I'm not sorry for giving you tuff love.

Sometimes it's the only way to love.

I don't have all the answers,

I have my feelings, emotions and experiences!

I'm very happy that you were able to break the cycle,

able to raise your children.

I am sorry I was not able to be a part of your lives.

I'm sorry I missed out on so many memories.

I am not sorry I gave you life.

I regret not being able to care for my children! Addiction and mental illness can and does rob us of so much!

The Day My Heart Died

Folder: 
Depression

With this letter I say goodbye,

As the daylight fades to night,

Tears roll down my cheeks,

Pen trembles in my hand,

My lungs gasping for air,

The monsters under my bed,

The voices in my head,

Hypnotised by the shiny metal,

I feel numb and dead inside,

Totally zombified but without purpose,

Lies and lies that have been said,

Pumped full of chaos,

Traumatised by the outside,

For as long as I can remember,

I have wanted to die,

Feeding off my broken heart and mind,

Despair swirld round like smoke,

Emptiness becoming normal,

Fill my veins with formaldehyde,

The day has finally come,

The day my heart died.

What To Feel - January 31, 2018

Folder: 
Chapter Three

I don't know what to write

or what to say or what to feel.

I want help but I'm too afraid

to show anyone what is real with me.

 

I can't seem to bring myself to terms

with my thoughts of a different future.

I can't change what I am

but if I could, I don't know that I would.

 

I won't let you go, but it's what holding me back

I won't face what I have, it's control I don't have.

I won't stand up to her and say I don't need you

because you're the worst drug I've ever had.

 

Let me start over, I swear I'll do better.

Let me have some faith in myself, I might

sleep a night without the toxic thoughts.

Let me feel like I've done something right.

 

Only the drugs and the alcohol make me

forget where I am, make me forget that I need

them to float above the sea, stop from sinking and

remembering everything and start thinking

about the failure that has given up.
