  A raven with a broken wing, is not much of a raven indeed, A raven with a broken wing is how I've come to think of me.  A raven with no home to call his own, No home is all that raven's ever known.  A raven with no branch to perch, No branch to perch causes that raven's stomach to lurch.  A raven with no mate with which to share, No mate with which to share leaves that raven lacking care.  A raven with a child under wing, A child under wing leaves that raven to worry what the future will bring.  A raven with a heart so cold, A heart so cold makes that raven quickly grow far too old.  A raven with a head so full of doubt,

  Never paying much attention, Nor does one ever think to question.  One day passes and so follows another, Neither or none remembers to cherish the other.  The sun slips into the darkness, awakening the moon, Still no notice taken to honor what could be lost far too soon.  A love shared and never spoken of, For what? Because you don't like to speak or think of that word?  A lover cherished every hour, every moment of everyday, A Lover now gone so far away.  There aren't words enough to say, There aren't words enough to take the pain away.  The lesson one and none must learn, A lesson repeated oh so many times and causes so

 You're never happy and never will be, You said it yourself, so why not give up the fight here with me? Obviously this is what I want, So why attack me with words that cut and haunt? I love you in a way I'll never have words with which to explain, It's tragically comical because whether I stay or go, I'll still feel the very same pain. You're suffering with an internal fight, You're so afraid to commit and even more afraid to feel, especially in plain sight. Lose your fear and take my hand, We can make it, just take a stand. Stop searching for flaws in me, Learn to see the good and be happy with all that we could be. I guess

   It was four years ago today, Four years ago, that we walked away.    And looking back now, I wonder, How could we have ever let such a love go under.    I apologize for ever doubting you, It hurts me more as I see the man into which you grew.    I watch you almost every night, I feel I've lost all sense of wrong and right.    Deep within my soul I wish for a second chance, But I know it will never be and so it is with him I dance a Liar's Dance.

    Troubled waters toss and churn, While searing memories burn.    A needle quietly stitches the heart, The heart with many wounds, once so close to tearing about.    A clock chimes in the distance, It knows of my prior resistance.   The lone drunk sits in a bar, He ponders his life and surveys his scar.   A sudden ringing brings me back to reality, The ringing was not ringing at all, but the tolling of a far off church bell, that had startled me.  I realize now quite suddenly, the needle that stitches the heart, is you, for you are healing me.   A quiet laughter echoes in the night, Your laugh sounding so hypnotizing as y

         Lies and betrayal surround, The air is heavy, pushing me closer to the ground.         Questions gone unanswered once again rise, I'm starting to think it's me I despise,         I am split in ways never before,' I love you and here is your place, but at the same time I can barely stand to look at your face without thinking of the whore.         I know I am wrong to rinse her hands in this blood, But I cannot control these feelings, running over like a                               flood.         It angers me that she has yet to see, After all she's done and robbed me of, she's stilling trying to take you from me.

      Silently I can pretend, But for how long before I am forced off the deep end?      Into your eyes I can look, But when will they take on the color of a crook?      I feel our embrace grow loose, But around my neck, tighter, does grow this noose.      Quietly I can sew my lips shut, But will there be enough thread to mend my heart that has been                              Cut?      Inside I feel the numbness settle in, But how numb will I go before I can no longer feel the sting of your                              Sin?      Now I sit here and stare out the window into the endless dark, I wonder if we can fix this

        So many things rushing through my head, Not enough breath in my lungs to say all the words that need to be said.        There's not enough drugs in the world to erase the memory, But nothing in this world could come close to what you mean to me.        I promised myself I wouldn't succumb to the hurt again, But running away would take strength I don't have and the courage to                                              pretend.        As we laid together on your bed, I tried so hard to ease your troubled thoughts as I caressed your head.       Seeing you so lost and scared weighs heavy on my heart, But worry not my lov

                     Beauty disguised between lies, Forever hiding the hurt in her eyes.                      Sitting beneath a pale moon, She wonders if she'll be rescued soon.                      A life of broken promises and forgotten truths, Labeled as one of the unclean youths.                      Lain with a hundred men or more, A tool of pleasure and lust, not knowing there's more to live for.                      Quiet sobs in the night, From a lost girl battling life, and losing the fight.                      Never knowing who she was or could have been, She fades in among the Geisha women.
