Good-bye Old Friend
We were close high school friends
You promised me a friendship with no end
We were sisters with different mothers
We stood by each other like brothers
I was always on your side
To support what you decide
Whether I agreed with you or not
Never did I question your intentions
Where did I go wrongyou never mentioned
Why did you think it was better to divide
What we once agreed would never die
When did you decide its easier to say goodbye
I hope you realize that Im not the one to break ties
I hope you realize that Im not the one who lived a lie
I hope you realize that a friendship takes two people to try
I never said good-bye.

A Plea With God
Why did you create me if only to enslave me
To a life where solitude is my only friend
What was I in the past to deserve such a curse
Is this the life you wished me to bear
A prison of heartless people with no one that cares
Honesty and trust are words of undefined meaning
Why did you open this door if this was not my destiny
What lesson do you wish to teach me
That people are cold little be told
They kill with their smile burning on my back
A world where political beaucracy is the silent law
Who am I-Who was I? ? ?
Why should I make amends for a life with no hope
Its so much easier to play the fool, and use them as a tool
Is this the fate the stars fortold
That Im a monster with no soul.

Can Hope Alter Distress
Just a moment in time
How I wish you were mine
Half a glance, half a stare
How could I even dare
Look into your eyes
As you pass me by
With this shame over me
Dont ask what I see
At the sight of your face
You screwed up my pace
What wouldnt I do
But play the fool for you
String me along with your poise and your charm
Tomorrow will bring me no harm
Looking down with no regret
I would do this all again
Just a moment in time
Half a glance, half a stare
I would give anything of mine
To relive this small crime.......once more

Doom
Im sitting here in a cold room
Wondering what tomorrow will bring
Quite possibly the day of doom
Ohh what songs of happiness Ill sing
I feel the walls closing in on me
Sufficating-Let me breathe
Its no use-my voice is silence
All conversation falls on deaf ears
All visions are in dreams
All I see is what will never be
Words of sorrow, words of lust
Ohh what words will settle this dust
The secret lies of no tomorrow
Will I ever overcome this sorrow
Reaching high and searching yonder
I have nothing but my wonder
Will I ever fill this hollow
Pour me a glass of emptiness
Give me a taste of distrust
Will these stitches cure a dead heart?
