Haunting
I try to sleep, but it's always the same
It'll never change, and I'm always to blame.
I lay in bed thinking of everything,
What's so wrong and will never fade.
I have the same nightmares every time,
All of these problems and how many I've made.
It's so useless to even try,
But no matter what I never cry.
The image of everything, the life I live.
Is nothing anymore, I have nothing to give.
Everything's wrong, I will never sleep.
And these bad feelings are haunting me.
It's so unreal, it's all the same.
Why do I try when I know it will never change?
It's so useless to even try,
But no matter what I never cry.
So take me away bring me back,
It still won't change the happiness I lack.
So why won't it go away, just make it better.
One more day.... Take it away.
I try to sleep but it's always the same.
It'll never change, and I'll always be to blame.
Everything's wrong so I will never sleep,
And these bad feelings are what's haunting me.
It's so useless to even try,
But no matter what I never cry.
I try to let it go, but I still can't sleep.
These bad feelings are still haunting me.

MY PROMISE
Last night I dreamed that I was dead
I dreamed that it was over
There was no torment in my heart
No sorrow lingered
Prescription drugs on tap,
More addictive than crack
Drugs flowing freely into the minds of people whose thought processes
by Ronnie Jay
You know that hangdog feeling
When life's kicked you in the crutch,
When the world seems ranged against you
And to breathe
by CanCan
There you are in the mirror again
Looking for hope and even a friend
The blemishes you find that no one else sees
You cry in
A shadow flees through the night
Swift and stealthy
A demon
with glowing red eyes
She stops
in front of a bistro
Moves in,
closing
