One day I’ll rise
Stand and dress
Hear no more cries
Or feel any less
I’ll be stronger
In my mind
Cut cleaner
More refined
The devil in me
And the demons to
Will let me free
And not think of you
For now I close my eyes
Each and every time
Next to you he lies
You pay me no mind
I don’t want to be here today
Let alone tomorrow
Death must be the way
To ease all my sorrow
But I can’t leave behind
Those which we have made
Have them scatter my ashes
Where I want to be laid
Life is so short
Eternity is not
When happiness is fraught
With loss then what
The battle within
Is won and then lost
Me giving in
Knowing the cost
A price you will pay
All you left behind
One broken day
The pieces you’ll find
Ragged and worn
With deep scratches of hate
Bereft and forlorn
My soul as of late
As I picture you two
They too pass in my mind
Because of those few
The strength I will find
I will not be a nothing
A no one no more
To you I am something
I’ll live for you four

My passion is words, when I write it usually takes no more than half an hour to bring to life what I’m thinking... if I leave it inside my head i obsess over the thoughts and they transform into something I can’t express...
