We Are Born In Our Graves

we are born in our graves
we lift ourselves up by the strength in our arms
taking one deep breath
hold it for as long as our life is
and then fall back

Love Poem

I've only known you a few short weeks
But you have made my life complete
You've been there to care and comfort me
When I've been frightened in my sleep
You just say it will be alright babes
And cuddle me and I go fast off to sleep
So please remember baby I want you by my side
When you're not with me it hurts inside
And the love for you will never die
I want to be with you day and night
But I know that's not quite right
But I know I'm head over heels in love with you
And that feels just right
But someday we will be together
Waking up side by side
I will be with you till the end of time
So baby I will love you forever
If you will say you'll be mine

Pain

Somehow I always thought that I would get through this pain
Give me five minutes and I will be back once again
Ten thousand years have passed
Now I should start to heal
What makes me different from the wounds that I always seem to feel?

Life boils down to a different thing
When you're the only person left to feel this
HATE, If not for you then for myself

You chained my spirit when my soul began to flee
Inside my body - It's now an integral part of me
This fear grows deepest under blankets of pretty lies
Pull back the cover from the HATE in the pantomime disguise

Life boils down to a different thing
When you're the only person left to feel this
HATE, If not for you then for myself

I fall softly to the floor
But you laugh
You get high on it all
I scream inside but kneel before
Kneel before you
And obey

Light falls into shadows
Hope gives in to fear
Of who I am and what I've been through
Of who you are and where you've been
Day falls foul of darkness
Truth gives in to tears
So I run to hide my feelings
So I smile to hide my fear

Somehow I always thought that I would get through this pain
Give me five minutes and I will be back once again
Ten thousand years have passed
Now I should start to heal
