Take me to your garden

With flowers of red and violet and yellow

The lilacs and daisy's are waiting for me

Beyond this wall of sorrow

This great big stone wall with overgrown moss

Moss grown from pain and boredom and betrayal

Why is it that moss grows on damp places?

Why does it cloud my vision and crawl on my face?

I've scraped and pulled the moss away

But it ...

I used to pick little flowers

Out in the backyard

They were scattered here and there

And finding them wasn't too hard

I'd gather a bunch

Then sit in the grass

I'd pluck the petals out

Carefully, as though they were glass

"He loves me, he loves me not"

I'd repeat the saying

And when I got love

I'd smiled and continue playing

Fallen memories

Lay scattered on the barren floor

Moments of glee and anger

Sadness and disgust

Is all that remains of a life once lived

Many things are forgotten

Like Autumn leaves

Being swept away by the wind

Everblowing into the depths of the past

Disappearing into an untouchable space

Wish not for the fading to end

For staying brings only

Emptiness...

I saw you last night

In the solitude of my dreams

You cried silently

And apologized for everything

I hesitated

But we all know how good you are

At Persuasion

I wrapped my arms around your waist

The memory of hugging you still ingrained into my mind

But dreams are delusions

For those who wish for things to be as they once were

And nothing is as it was once...

The last gift you gave me

Was small and beautiful

Like the hands you held

Like the children I thought you loved

It is made of gold

With hearts intertwined

Like our hands during a drive

As you sang old country songs 

It stays with me always

Like the memories of us

Father and children

Love and life

When I take it off

I can see the dent in my fing...

A little browned-eyed girl

With freckles here and there

Would cry at every little thing

The world too hard to bear

Her scared little eyes

Her uneasy smile

A heart beating too quickly

As if she’d run a mile

She wished she could stop

That her heart would slow down

But no matter how much she tried

She always wore a frown

But now that she's older

S...

I saw the color yellow that day

In the sky

Through the light of the peephole

On your face

You were my yellow

A light that brought warmth to the cold stillness of life

Perhaps that's why I couldn't see it

I was blinded by everything I saw in you

All of the good things

Memories I cherish so much I can’t bear to write in words

That day I last saw you 

You tr...

It was last december,

When I thought about killing you.

In the fading glory of the world,

And the dying light of your glow,

I thought about killing you.

I took you through the woods,

We watched the gleaming stars.

I saw the way your amber hair

Glistened in the moonlight.

You were beautiful.

But

I thought about killing you.

When did we meet?

How...
