Seven Thousand Raging Rivers
Seven thousand raging rivers, a second broken wall
The last day we had alone, we tried to end it all
When everything seems to burn, we turn to the hatred
Last time I saw someone laugh, I realized that was sacred
The ten thousand broken bodies, lying on the ground
Not a single soul had wept nor gathered ‘round
And then I saw her, crying all alone
Like an angel she just sat there, nothing but a stepping stone
She wept like nothing mattered
Her clothes were torn and tattered
She looked like a tramped flower
It’s like she knew; this was her final hour
I just walked, straight to her side
Within her, I finally did confide
Today was m
Pencil down a chamber
Lock yourself in
Change the looks the size
You are trapped here
Better make it last
Run around the city streets
Causing panic and disbelief
Change the way the road turns
You're free at last
But now you need back
Pencil down a chamber
No doors and no escape
Change the roof the floor
You are trapped here
And now you need out
3 years ago my wife died, I failed to keep my promise to always protect her. There was an armed gun-man who came into our home, he went into our eldest daughters room, she was 17 at the time, now she’s moved out an on her own. I went to protect her, and when I threw the man out of my daughter’s room, he raced into my wife and my room. 2 shots. I heard 2 shots and when I got into the room my wife was on the floor and the man had jumped out of our window. I couldn’t protect her. I got very sick afterwards. My eldest son, who at the time of the shooting was 19, was looking after me and my other 2 children, who were 14 and 12 re
The face I hide:
I don't show it well
It is the real me
It is kind and cruel
Cold and warm
And everywhere in between
The face I show:
I don't hide it well
It is a me I created
It is blunt and true
Luke warm to the touch
There is no extreme
The face I want:
It is hidden and shown
It is a perfect me
It is true and warm
Cold and blunt
A me that has never seen light
The face I hide:
The face I am.
I am a sinner
You are a saint
I don't cuss, nor spit
You don't preach nor pray
My life is dark
And you are my light.
365 days I would spend crying
I would live them all again
Just to spend another with you.
I would spend my life miserable
If I only get to spend some time with you.
Because you are my light.
You are a sinner
I am a saint
You preach and pray
I cuss and spit
You are the light
To bring into my dark.
Sometimes I wish you understood
Just what it means to me
That you stand here next to me
To you I feel like a loyal dog
I may not be always by your side
I may get affection from elsewhere
But I remain loyal and true to you
And I'll always come back to you
When I'm away from you
The loss suffocates my heart
Like a giant snake
With its fangs sunk deep
And a slow killing venom
Pulsing through my veins
Slowly draining my life away
And you're the only anti-venom
When I worry about you
It's like an eagle sunk its talons in me
A sharp, excoriating pain
Which I may fall to my death at any time
Should the worry become too heavy
Or
Like toxins in my blood
My hate for you grows
Slowly killing me each day
Soon, way too soon
One of us must go
Before my veins run cold
And one of us lie dead
Sorrow pools within out hearts
Growing, growing growing
Like a sprouting apple tree
Coursing through our hearts
Our thoughts merge as one
Both clouded and misguided
And one of us lie dead
Both within our caskets
Souls free to roam
But somehow we find
We find one another
To complete this task again
Never breaking its course
And both of us lie dead
Though one time
Our paths my cloud
Destiny's withdrawn
We live with one another
Only one we trust
Like toxins in my b
Overrun, too many expectations
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go
A loving girl locked in a hateful world
Scars on my wrists, and down up my legs
A broken heart and wounded body
A girl without a home
Shut down with no emotion
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go to
Just a hollow boy in the dark
No scars on my body, but a million in my mind
A broken soul and mind lay on the ground
I am a shattered boy
Met by chance, fell in love by fate
We can run to each other's arms, to home
Two souls repairing the damage done by past
Kisses on the scars, and love to the wounds
A boy turned man, and a girl's now a woman
Two souls with a new home
