The Games You Play

I'll let you play your games
Yes your games that show your lack of shame
You, who so many try to tame,
You are your very own claim to fame
I guess you will never change, always the same

She called your bluff
So you got revenge, a little bit rough
I'll let you play until I've had enough
You know you'll never end up in cuffs
Because I am there to clean up your ruined stuff

You're a dangerous dark horse
Never been one to show pity or remorse
So much pain to which you are its source
You take what you want, maybe resort to force
And you win every time, not one fail of course

But at the end of your day
When all the poisons have been put away

Subdued Emotion

Never once forgot your eyes
The colour so vivid and alive
Shattered by their evil lies
Now hiding is how you survive

There’s something lost
In those lonely tears
There’s a high cost
Placed by your peers

But it’s your childish smile
That lights the way
Finding it took a while
Now you show it every day

Even in that smile there is pain
Something hidden deep inside
Like tears in the frozen rain
Tears hidden in a heart so kind

This Sweet Street

Walking down a street
Happy people I meet
Oh see the colours and smiles
See the sun shining for miles

The houses are small but neat
On this content street
I see the families so close
‘Look at our street’ the people boast

So look and you will see
Even if you are blind to life like me
For I shall tell you what I saw
In that perfect streets outer core

I saw the money passed underhand
I saw people owning stolen land
I saw the children chased off this street
Into the wild just to keep this street petite

Mine

This may seem sappy and may seem weak
But I wish to find what so many seek
A happy feeling with neither reason nor rhyme
A simple perfection that only I can call mine

Some may say that what I wish for is not real
That I act like the starved before a glorious meal
But I so desperately want to feel so free of any confine
To lay beside, to walk alongside the one I call mine

They say that what I seek is nothing but a fairy tale
But I truly hope to succeed where others may fail
Find the one who holds my tears, makes everything fine
I wish to hold their heart and for them to hold mine

So I will listen to my soul and not these broken fools
And find the one that my possessive mind can't rule
I know first-hand that I have some major flaws
But I hope I can find the one to which I can say ‘I am yours'

Final Goodbye

It really hurt you know
Every time you would go
It's getting harder to hide
That It's killing me inside

For once you left me alone
I never left that phone
I couldn't even look at others
I didn't even think of lovers

Now you can't come back
And now there's just this huge crack
In my life and my mind
It's like I've become blind

The first time they said
‘He made us proud the life he led'
I knew you were so long gone
And I broke, everything was wrong

Oh So Simple Question

I have a question
I have a simple thought
I am the border obsession
I am the clever, the taught

You have my aggression
You have a complication
You are an angry expression
You are the unheard conversation

We have a serious problem
Something simple yet trying
You understand, you look solemn
You know exactly what question I’m implying

Now concentrate, ask it now
Your eyes beg not to be told
Tell it now, but tell it how?
How to tell this question I hold

Long Since Lost

I see you there, all dressed up for the night
I'm thinking about the past and it feels so right
I want to gather my courage and begin to walk
Walk to you; take your hand and just talk

It seems so long since we just spoke
My lungs burn as I inhale the smoke
My nerves dance on flames and so does my heart
How I wish I could take us back to the start

I remember you sleeping in late, your lazy smile
How it was so easy to get you all riled
The little scar that fit you so damn well
All the secrets we would never tell

I recall the time you told me truths
Oh how naive we were in our youth
And when we stood face to face
I felt like I had been caught up in the chase

Telling Lies To Those Eyes,

There’s something I want to say
But that look in your eyes take my words away
I never thought I wouldn’t be able to speak
Never thought I would become this weak

Don’t look at me with those downcast eyes
How the hell can I say these trusted lies?
If all you do is act so kind
And now use those bright eyes to bind

So stop that stare that sees my soul bare
Let me run and hide if you really care
I simply let you take my heart
Because I’m too weak to finish what you will start

Stop it, don’t take it all away
I know I hurt you too much that day
Please you know I love you I beg you don’t go
I know what I did was wrong I’ve never felt so low

Fooled By Jealous Lies

You don’t see my smile
Its been hidden for so long
I feel like your words are my trial
Coz my innocence is so long gone
Does this mean our end?

Well let me tell you this
Now that I am once more free
No longer staving for your kiss
Well I hope you can see the real me
Coz I still only see you in this light

But you know that my tears are there
Although I swore not to turn round
Being alone is just too much of a scare
So I will run back to where my peace is found
And I know that I was wrong to accuse

I saw the sadness in your eyes
Coz I listened to her and let her win

Lullaby

Tears fall to the ground
But my heart breaks with more shame
And it breaks without a sound
So why can’t you take the blame

You promised me eternity
Oh how sweet was your word
The way you crippled me was a pity
Now I leave you as a flightless bird

‘I love you, you’ll never be alone’
That was your cute alibi
Those words now chill me to the bone
The words that were once my deadly lullaby

You gave me a new life
Your reason was just and right
Now your lies attack me like a knife
Just tell me again where you were that night
