Memories
I picture you as plain
As if you were really here
I know that is impossible
You died just last year
I would not change a single one
My memories carry me through
It truly is the best thing
That I have left of you
I think about the good times
And bow my head as I smile
I am thankful that I had you
Even for a little while
So now I have my memories
For all the good in me
I follow on the path of this
Learning to be free
These memories though they haunt me
Always give me hope
Through all my pain and suffering
They taught me how to cope
I continue to love you
And look for you there
I'll see you in my memories
Since life isn't fair

Mother Made Me Burn
My Father's Picture
She stood behind me,
poked her finger
into my back.

A couple steeped with age, sits in rocking chair
Both with wrinkles on face, and silver their hair
Back and forth they rock,

I have carried with me,
through every town I chose to flee
into every house I tried to make my home
the only thing that
YOU CAN'T FORGET
You hold your chin up,
higher than you should...
you have so much more pride,
than I ever could.
You walk so
Whisper wind, through the remaining chimes
distant, weak.
The house is peeling, like my skin
The sun is blaring, like my mind.
