Bleak and Elysian Tears
There are so many things, that I’ve never had
And there are so many things, which have never made me glad
the one tear that’s creeping, down my sorrowful cheek
It leaves an invisible line, that’s wet and bleak
as it passes and lands, on the wet ground below
Silently the blue tears, start forming and flow
as memories of the past, come flooding in
Fast and colder the blue tears begin
As I come up to emotion, that’s never been said
My hearts ripped out, and my blood is shed
as I remember times, when I’d actually smile
The bleak line on my cheek, becomes a violent Nile
it’s so hard to remember the terms of my past
Because most of my smiles never really would last
I kept on thinking those things would change
But they never did and I became more deranged
As my tears begin to slow, and the pain is withdrawn
I leave everything, buried in the forest of foregone
There are so many things, that I’ve always had
Just never saw the truth, the friends that made me glad

My Grandma
A beautiful angel
With a heart so warm
Sent from heaven
In a woman’s form
She helps others
In their time of need
She does so much
And has no greed
Always on her feet
Going here or there
Not wasting any time
And always being fair
It’s amazing how
She can do so much
She must be an angel
With heaven’s touch
How else can you explain
The goodness of her ways
This woman’s my grandma
She never seizes to amaze

Bridge
As I cross the bridge
It crumbles and it falls
I thought I had everything
I thought I had it all
I can't see his face
But I sense he is there
He comes in my dreams
I believe that he cares
He may be my angel
He may be my friend
I hope he can hold me
Until the very end
I crossed that bridge again
But as it started to fall
My angel gave me wings
Now I know I have it all

Fake Smiles
I hold my tears in
But inside i cry
i live life out
as it passes me by
i always seem happy
but inside i am not
it's just a fake smile
that i never forgot
i put it on daily
so no one asks why
i never have to tell them
that on the inside i cry
everything has changed
i'm lost and confused
back into my past
i was loved and used
thats why i wear a smile
that is untrue to my heart
whenever i feel truly happy
the fakeness is far apart.
