Lost Little Boy

Lost Little Boy

My lost little boy

Full of life and full of joy

I know you are here

I feel when you are near

Gone too soon

Lost within my womb

But the connection was unmistakable

Almost like words written in a fable

He knows you are around

You don’t even need to make a sound

He talks about you all the time

Your lives are forever intertwined

She doesn’t know you yet

But the sweet sound of your heartbeat I will never forget

I remember the night you came to me

Laid on my chest in the midst of my misery

I felt your comfort surround me

And finally felt a sense of peace

Your head on my chest

I truly felt blessed

It brings tears to my eyes

And the emotions arise

Always knew you weren’t meant to be mine

It was forever just a matter of time

My sweet and precious son

Our short time together had just begun

One day we will reunite

But it won’t be tonight

You will forever be in my heart

My memories of you will never depart

There will never be a day I say goodbye

And I am reminded of you every time I see a butterfly

I will love you until the day I die

And I hope you are always nearby

Isaac – you gave me so much joy

My sweet, lost, little boy

The Grown Up Boy

The Grown Up Boy

The grown up boy

With the sadness in his eyes

You see his pain

Even through his smiles

The scars fade

But the memories remain

How you wish

You could save him

Take his hand

And show him the truth

His love runs so deep

It scars his soul

So much conflict

Riddled with confusion

Your words make him wince

Your touch makes him flinch

The grown up boy

Trying to find his way in the world

It won’t be long now

He will look up at the moon

He will find comfort there

Just as you do

A mutual bond

Never abandoned

The dependent love

Between two friends

The Tortured Artist

The Tortured Artist

Fingers racin

For these dreams you’re chasin

Every note

Another step towards hope

Strummin along

Puttin a piece of you in every song

Sittin alone

In a place that is supposed to be home

Thoughts unendin

But it’s your past you’re avengin

Truths recognized

The fire in your soul has been energized

Future uncertain

Release yourself from the past that is hurtin

Guilt abounds

But for once it’s your happiness that will be found

Fly away

And stop savin all them strays

Find yourself

Only then will you experience the richest wealth

Driven

Driven

Driven by greed

Driven by lust

Driven by fear

Driven by trust

Driven by anger

Driven by sadness

Driven by hatred

Driven by sacrifices

Driven by madness

Driven by guilt

Driven by deceit

Driven by love

Driven by secrets

Driven by children

Driven by spouses

Driven by family

Driven by endowments

Driven by acceptance

Driven by rejection

Driven by happiness

Driven by affection

Driven by impressions

Driven by goals

Driven by reflection

Driven by souls

Driven by religion

Driven by society

Driven by media

Driven by sobriety

Driven by change

Driven by boredom

Driven by stagnation

Driven by misfortune

Driven by the heavens

Driven by addiction

Driven by the universe

Driven by affliction

Driven by the past

Driven by demons

Driven by the future

Driven by different reasons

Each and every one of us

Driven by something

Always better to be driven

Then to fade away to nothing.

The Changeling

The Changeling

Impulsive

Spontaneous

Givin a lot

Bein outrageous

Free spirited

Untamable will

That fire inside

Won’t ever be killed

Got a hot little temper

Feisty to a fault

All lessons

Someone else taught

Loyalty runs deep

In my blood

But oh boy

Can this girl hold a grudge

Gainin my trust

Is no easy feat

But if you get it

Don’t think it’s made of concrete

If it ain’t worth fightin for

Then it ain’t worth dyin for

That’s a truth I’ve learned

Over and over

I’ve heard

I’m addictive

Like a drug you start

And can’t get rid of

Maybe it’s the strength

Maybe it’s the mystery

Everybody wants to save me

Maybe it’s the misery

Put up a good front

But some see through the façade

Careful how far you look

What you see won’t be forgot

Being vulnerable

Isn’t my forte

And head games

Aren’t something I’m gonna play

Hidden away

Are my deep dark secrets

Feel honored

If you see my weakness

A privileged few

Get to know the real me

But for most

They have no idea how much I’m pretending
