The Color Black
Black is the color of authority and power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission. Priests wear black to signify submission to God. Some fashion experts say a woman wearing black implies submission to men. Black outfits can also be overpowering, or make the wearer seem aloof or evil. Villains, such as Dracula, often wear black. There is black everywhere.

Wasted ink
From the pen
Writing you a letter
She never meant to send
Promises of a future
Never forget the past
When hearts were being broken
And nothing ever lasts
Alone she sits and wonders
Alone she sits and cries
All the failed attempts
Pile on the lies
No guidebook to love
No secret magic potions
Tear her heart apart
Abuse her emotions
Tell her you’re over
So life can begin
Go back to your ways
Bury your feelings within
You’ll never be happy
The way you were
Because you gave up
On you and her
From the pen
Writing you a letter
She never meant to send
Promises of a future
Never forget the past
When hearts were being broken
And nothing ever lasts
Alone she sits and wonders
Alone she sits and cries
All the failed attempts
Pile on the lies
No guidebook to love
No secret magic potions
Tear her heart apart
Abuse her emotions
Tell her you’re over
So life can begin
Go back to your ways
Bury your feelings within
You’ll never be happy
The way you were
Because you gave up
On you and her
The Adventure
Our adventure together like a ship out at sea
Can’t help but think, we were meant to be
Waves come our way, and make the journey tough
But I won’t abandon ship because the waters rough
Its the calm and peaceful days, no heavy winds just a gentle breeze
With you in my arms, takes all the pressure, I never want to leave
You’re the air that I breathe, and the sun in my sky
The song that I sing and my reason why...
I wake up the next morning with a reason to live
A smile on my face and love to give
We threw out the compass, a map we don’t need
We’ll trust our hearts, and go where they lead
Can’t help but think, we were meant to be
Waves come our way, and make the journey tough
But I won’t abandon ship because the waters rough
Its the calm and peaceful days, no heavy winds just a gentle breeze
With you in my arms, takes all the pressure, I never want to leave
You’re the air that I breathe, and the sun in my sky
The song that I sing and my reason why...
I wake up the next morning with a reason to live
A smile on my face and love to give
We threw out the compass, a map we don’t need
We’ll trust our hearts, and go where they lead
The past
My mind starts to wander as I lay in my bed.
Thoughts about you now run through my head
I think back to good times like on the grass in the park,
Or walking the paths late after dark
I think how much I miss you when you’re not around,
And how happy you make me when I’m feeling down
There are so many choices in life we must make
But with you, I know it's not a mistake
'Cause one thing I know and this much is true
When everything’s done, I’ll still love you!!
You saved my life
I lay there in pain for what seems like a day
I turn side to side but it hurts any way
My heart is racing and my pulse is too high
And I can’t help but think, "why God? Why?"
My ribs are all bruised and my chest feels so tight
And I lay there expecting this to be my last night
But it can’t be over now, I have to try and fight
Then out of the distance, a light shines so bright
A man walks towards me, could this be an angel?
Someone I know? Or maybe a stranger?
As he becomes clearer I see that it's true
The most handsome man....that man was you
You knelt down beside me and place your hand on my hand
Then touched my fingers and said, "Now just try and rest"
It was like magic my pain had all gone away
But there were no words in my mind I could say
With all but a gasp I said, "You saved my life"
The reply I got back, "It’s my job, you are my life!"
I awoke with a breath like never before
Sat straight up in bed and put my feet on the floor
I realized again all you've done for me
Through sickness you've stayed and it’s helped me see...
...how special you are, how much you do
And all you are to me, I want to be to you
You’re amazing, you're smart, you're one of a kind
And I know for a fact, you're always on my mind
I love you so much and I’ll never let go
Cuz you're the greatest person that I’ll ever know
I turn side to side but it hurts any way
My heart is racing and my pulse is too high
And I can’t help but think, "why God? Why?"
My ribs are all bruised and my chest feels so tight
And I lay there expecting this to be my last night
But it can’t be over now, I have to try and fight
Then out of the distance, a light shines so bright

Someone I know? Or maybe a stranger?

You’re amazing, you're smart, you're one of a kind
And I know for a fact, you're always on my mind
I love you so much and I’ll never let go
Cuz you're the greatest person that I’ll ever know
We can make it together
To all those around us it doesn’t make sense, how close we really are
They don’t understand, they can’t comprehend, how it's possible we've come this far
They don’t want to hear that we talk all day long; they don’t want to hear that we kiss
They don’t want to know I can’t stand when you're gone, and the only one I truly miss
They expect us to be friends and play by their rules; do everything they want us to do
But all I know is, at the end of the day, nobody means as much to me as you
Its tough when you're gone, and ya babe, I've cried. And at times I've wanted to scream
But I wait for the day when I hold you again, cuz that's like living a dream
It may seem insane and at times be so hard, but these rules won’t last forever
And I know we'll make it through whatever it is, cuz I know we can make it together
They don’t understand, they can’t comprehend, how it's possible we've come this far
They don’t want to hear that we talk all day long; they don’t want to hear that we kiss
They don’t want to know I can’t stand when you're gone, and the only one I truly miss
They expect us to be friends and play by their rules; do everything they want us to do
But all I know is, at the end of the day, nobody means as much to me as you
Its tough when you're gone, and ya babe, I've cried. And at times I've wanted to scream
But I wait for the day when I hold you again, cuz that's like living a dream
It may seem insane and at times be so hard, but these rules won’t last forever
And I know we'll make it through whatever it is, cuz I know we can make it together
Someone save me...
My mind is trying to kill me,
It haunts me daily with broken memories
It taunts me with visions of loves long lost,
It mocks me as the silent tears fall
Please,
Take me away.
Someone help me...
I cannot take this anymore,
These thoughts are too vicious
I have become a lethal danger to myself,
I am my own now-living nightmare
Please,
Let this end.
In this darkness...
I lie alone, waiting for a saviour,
No one cares to reach out a hand
And I still in this mind relive that moment,
Of a gentle kiss placed upon my forhead
Someone
Used to care.
Out of this darkness..
A child is born unto the world,
A creature of midnight, the daughter of hate
Her cries are piercing and bittersweet,
Her blood is as ice and her eyes gentle daggers
Save her,
She doesn't deserve this.
Blinded again...
I falter in this endless eternity,
I can no longer find my way back home
So disoriented, nothing's the same,
The guidelines have changed and rules are no more
Take me,
I cannot resist.
Weightless, drifting
My mind has wandered off again,
My body is present in a bleeding shroud
Covered in tears and cleansed in blood,
It seems another curtain falls, to lead me away
My role is over,
Done is this play.
Endless, faithless
I await my sentence, I watch for the doomsayer,
I know one approach to put me from my misery
I welcome this painless euthanasia,
With open arms and bleeding veins
End this,
I do not care.
Grandma
In times of trouble you where there, you always had my back
And every time I’d come over, you had fresh cookies on the rack
You could always tell when something was wrong, when something had me down
And yet you always knew what to say, to get rid of my saddened frown
I prayed so hard night after night, for God to keep you here
Cuz I knew it'd be so hard to say goodbye, to someone I held so dear
You wanted to see me "become a big girl" and turn the big "one six"
But I guess God had other plans, cuz that birthday you had to miss
What will never leave my mind; slowly watching you slip away
Getting the dreaded phone call, I’ll never forget that day
So I say now, what I never got to say, as your time came to an end
Grandma I love you, my tough love, my support, and my friend
And every time I’d come over, you had fresh cookies on the rack
You could always tell when something was wrong, when something had me down
And yet you always knew what to say, to get rid of my saddened frown
I prayed so hard night after night, for God to keep you here
Cuz I knew it'd be so hard to say goodbye, to someone I held so dear
You wanted to see me "become a big girl" and turn the big "one six"
But I guess God had other plans, cuz that birthday you had to miss
What will never leave my mind; slowly watching you slip away
Getting the dreaded phone call, I’ll never forget that day
So I say now, what I never got to say, as your time came to an end
Grandma I love you, my tough love, my support, and my friend
What you mean to me
Proof left on your jacket, stained by my tears
And the words "I just can’t do it” are left ringing in my ears
I try to stay strong, but inside I fall apart
'Cause every time I leave, I leave behind my heart
I dream of one day you saying, "sir I'm taking her away
Try as I may, try as I might, there’s nothing I can say"
You’re my world, my all, my everything
My reason for joy and the reason for the songs I sing
One thing we can be sure of, times will get hard for me and you
But I also know, with the love in my heart, we can make it through
People ask me how I manage, how I make it through the pain
I tell them "five letters" and babe those letters spell your name
And the words "I just can’t do it” are left ringing in my ears
I try to stay strong, but inside I fall apart
'Cause every time I leave, I leave behind my heart
I dream of one day you saying, "sir I'm taking her away
Try as I may, try as I might, there’s nothing I can say"
You’re my world, my all, my everything
My reason for joy and the reason for the songs I sing
One thing we can be sure of, times will get hard for me and you
But I also know, with the love in my heart, we can make it through
People ask me how I manage, how I make it through the pain
I tell them "five letters" and babe those letters spell your name
Story
There’s this guy, just normal at best
Nothing great about him, no “S” on his chest
There’s this girl that he’s known for a number of years
She’s been there through the struggles and there though the tears
They talked for a while, then drifted apart
Re-united on Easter, and that’s where we start
They began conversations, they talked and they joked
Yet neither was hurt by the humorous pokes
Inside jokes pilled up, and laughter was shared
Stayed up till early hours, but neither really cared
It seemed to be natural, how they talked every day
Hours and hours, with endless things to say
Then one day in the summer he got the time
And thought to himself, "How I wish she'd be mine"
Thoughts ran through his mind, how much he wanted to hold her
But there was no need for those thoughts with her head on his shoulder
He reached for her hand and his heart started to race
It ended up with a beat at incredible pace
He didn’t feel nervous, that’s not what it was
Yet his heart kept on speeding, but that’s just because….
…he cares so deeply, and didn’t want it to end
And can’t wait for a day when more time they can spend
Nothing great about him, no “S” on his chest
