Gun

I've calmly put away the gun
Decided there must be someone
To help me stand up in the night
And get me thru the bright daylight
I know full well it must be wrong
It's with the living I belong
But there are times within my head
I'm alive but envy the dead
Since angels took you far away
Fight these demons every day
To die, to end it all like this
Moment's pain, forever bliss
And be with you again my sweet
At Heaven's Gate is where we'll meet...

But it is such a deadly game
I'll rekindle a lover's flame
Lock away my exit route
Not quite ready, it doesn't suit
There'll be someone to take your place
Radiant, smiling, full of grace
Happiness will come my way
Just need to live another day
But if I can't convince myself
The bullets lay upon the shelf...

silent suffering

I tried to be strong. I tried to be secure. Not only for me,. But also for her. Trying so hard to be tough. But I'm just putting on an act. Nobody knows anything is wrong. It's courage that I lack.

Bullshit

Tired. Why even bother, Trying. Lying is easier, Dying is easier. Time. It's only a matter of it Before I lose it, Before I throw a fit. Ostracized.

Rubie,It Might Never Happen

All your mates are dead, You got madmen's thoughts whirling round your head, Your boyfriends left you, And you feel like leaving too, But cheer up, rubie.

Coping

I've not had it for a while, But that's my coping style. Random, spontaneous crashes. Where tears adorn my lashes. I may not cry at their death. Or at the funeral when they've left.

Pain Inside

This maybe a little explicit. Just wanted to vent about feelings I had in the past. I sometimes worry it'll all come back when times get hard. I'm sitting here alone and quiet.

Self-worth

Turn off my emotions. Turn off my dread. Turn off my anguish. Leave me for dead. Turn off the lights. Turn off the time. Turn off these days. Tell them that i'm fine. Turn off my thoughts.

Pain Inside

This maybe a little explicit. Just wanted to vent about feelings I had in the past. I sometimes worry it'll all come back when times get hard. I'm sitting here alone and quiet.

Why You?

Why you, why do you have to be ill. Don't dare talk to me of your last Will. How I am I supposed to live. When you have no more to give. What's wrong with you. Why lie to me like you do.
