When I Close My Eyes
When I close my eyes,
It all goes away.
The screams,
The yelling,
The violence,
All relinquished.
Fading into grey,
As the torturous truth,
Leads the way.
When I close my eyes,
It all goes away.
The words,
The sighs,
The cries,
All released.
Fading into black,
Your words still linger,
The silent attack.
The Benevolent Shepherd
Somewhere in the distance,
where trees no longer grow,
sits a merry cottage,
surrounded in snow.
Nobody visits,
And nobody’d dare,
But as they walk by,
The inhabitant stares.
And alone in that cottage,
A poor woman hides,
And she waits all alone,
While the rich live their lives.
Then one day,
A shepherd walks past,
And when he sees the cottage,
He walks to it fast.
And he knocks on the door,
Of the cottage, so gay,
As the woman inside,
Looks up in dismay.
She answers the door,
With a frown on her face,
As the visitor beams,
Her frown is replaced.
The woman grins,
And points inside,
She offers him a meal,
But then he denies.
He gives her a sack,
And then walks away,
She opens the sack,
And then starts to pray.
The man turns around,
And smiles to himself,
He was somehow happier,
Without all his wealth.
Maybe It’s Because I Love You
Maybe it’s because I love you, that it hurt so much,
The truth, the lies,
Now combined,
But, boy, I miss you so much.
And still to this day,
I want to do it over,
Try again.
Breathe again.
Love again.
Maybe I’m a dreamer,
But it’s your word against mine,
Sure I’m a believer,
But, son, you just crossed the line.
Don’t hide,
Or run,
Or walk away.
Don’t leave,
Or cry,
Or curse the day.
Maybe it’s because I love you, that I never want you to go,
Or maybe, just maybe, you didn’t know.
