The lights have dimmedThe crowd grows silentAs I step up to the microphoneMy voice wavers ever so slightlyBut no one noticesThey're too enthralled with the musicEven the misty tears go unseenAs I put all my heartInto this final chorusBecause it is dedicated to youAnd as my love and heartbreakReverberates around the roomCouples draw nearerTender smiles...

The air is so humidBut I'm still so coldIt lingers inside meThese icicles of lonelinessEncasing my heartIt's a frozen shieldI've designed to protectFrom further painBut to shut out the hurtYou must also block outAll the simple pleasuresLike a baby's smileAnd sweet roses in bloomI can only be whole againTo seek what life offersWhen the radiance...

Passages of light reach deep within me, but it does nothing to dispel the darkness. The glare of stained glass windows, the provisions of sun hurt my eyes and make me reel as it searches out the corners of my mind. Where to hide? Nowhere to hide from this invading force as it seeks to... Continue Reading →
Here I am, I'm all alone I have nowhere to call my home Another's bed is where I rest The Others tell me, it's for the best I eat and drink what The Others give And let them say how I must live I have my dreams, they're buried deep I only live them in... Continue Reading →
The hours of the damned are long and they're bitter The sweet taste of life has long since been gone I sit in the cold alone and I shiver Waiting for the clock to say hours are done Sweet dreams my loved one as you snuggle down under A cover of goose-down keeping you warm... Continue Reading →
I watched a child approach me, with a question on his mind I looked into his solemn face, and the smile I gave was kind He said to me, dear lady, please tell me, tell me true Why is it that you're clothed in black, never red or green or blue I stopped and thought... Continue Reading →
