Heart! We will forget him!
You and I — tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave –
I will forget the light!
When you have done, pray tell me
That I may straight begin!
Haste! lest while you’re lagging
I remember him!

A slash of Blue –
A sweep of Gray –
Some scarlet patches on the way,
Compose an Evening Sky –
A little purple — slipped between –
Some Ruby Trousers hurried on –
A Wave of Gold –
A Bank of Day –
This just makes out the Morning Sky.

Red Drops
it seems
i’m bleeding
My heart
broken
shattered in pieces
countless
No one to help me
to collect my heart
to collect my feelings
Red pool
blood pouring
i lose my wil to live
i died …

Weep you no more, sad fountains;
What need you flow so fast?
Look how the snowy mountains
Heaven’s sun doth gently waste!
But my Sun’s heavenly eyes
View not your weeping,
That now lies sleeping
Softly, now softly lies
Sleeping.
Sleep is a reconciling,
A rest that peace begets;
Doth not the sun rise smiling
When fair at even he sets?
Rest you then, rest, sad eyes!
Melt not in weeping,
While she lies sleeping
Softly, now softly lies
Sleeping.
O Death, O Death, rock me asleep,
Bring me to quiet rest;
Let pass my weary guiltless ghost
Out of my careful breast.
Toll on, thou passing bell;
Ring out my doleful knell;
Thy sound my death abroad will tell,
For I must die,
There is no remedy.
My pains, my pains, who can express?
Alas, they are so strong!
My dolours will not suffer strength
My life for to prolong.
Toll on, thou passing bell;
Ring out my doleful knell;
Thy sound my death abroad will tell,
For I must die,
There is no remedy.
Alone, alone in prison strong
I wail my destiny:
Woe worth this cruel hap that I
Must taste this misery!
Toll on, thou passing bell;
Ring out my doleful knell;
Thy sound my death abroad will tell,
For I must die,
There is no remedy.
Farewell, farewell, my pleasures past!
Welcome, my present pain!
I feel my torment so increase
That life cannot remain.
Cease now, thou passing bell,
Ring out my doleful knoll,
For thou my death dost tell:
Lord, pity thou my soul!
Death doth draw nigh,
Sound dolefully:
For now I die,
I die, I die.
It’s hard for me to tell you I love you
As I’m standing over your grave
And I know I’ll never hear your voice again..
I’d go to hell and back over and over again
Just to prove to you how much I need you here
There is nothing that I wouldn’t do
I’d cry for you
I’d lie for you
And there’s no doubt that if I could take your place in heaven
I would die for you
I would rather give up my life
Than to spend my life without you.
I thought I was ugly
Until he said I was beautiful
I thought I was dumb
But he said I was brilliant
I thought I was worthless
He said diamonds don’t even to begin to hold your value
I thought I was weird
He said you fit in tighter than a too-small shoe
I thought I was smart
Until I heard that he was lying
Falling Down,
Nothings Right,
Losing Fast,
Dark as Night,
Can’t Wish My Way,
Out Of Here,
Nothings Okay,
I Shed a Tear,
Screaming Loudly,
I Look Down,
Seeing My Life,
On The Ground,
I’m Going Nowhere,
Losing Fast,
Because of The Regrets,
Of My Past.

Looking At This Young Girl,
Her Dark Blue Eyes Stare Back
Face With No Expresion
Heart Is Just Pure Black
As Tears Fell From Her Eyes
She Wipped Them Away Quick
Because She Could Not Be Hurt
Peoples Pain Made Her Sick
It Was Clear To Me That THis Girl Was In Need Of Help,
Help Fom Her Problems And Help From Herself
I wish There Was Something I Could Do
But The Pain Seemed So Deep
Dark Circles Under Eyes
She Was Loosin Sleep
Sometimes I Understand This Girl
Sometomes I Wish I did
So I Just Stare At Her Wondering,
Who The Hell She Is
Shes Sittin On The Bed Now
I Cant See Her Anymore
I Can Only SEe The Mirror……
Smashed All Over The Floor
