The Answer

Already heard
the answer 

Made my decision 
right or wrong 

Will believe 
in
that answer 

Made clear
and
so profound.

My Heart Aches

My heart aches 
My soul longs 
for times of joy 
all long gone. 

No more to be 
no more to say 
loving words
I heard, heard
yesterday. 

Now has come 
a time of pain 
sorrow 
my heart aches 
my soul knows there’ll be
no tomorrow.

Why Haven’t You

Why haven’t you held me close 
Protected me from the worst, the gross 
Why haven’t you? 

Why haven’t you heard my pleas 
My calls for help 
Why haven’t you? 

Why haven’t you seen the worst 
And fell upon the evil that has me cursed 
Why haven’t you? 

Why haven’t you seen, heard, felt or been
The one I need 
Why haven’t you? 

Why haven’t you?

Heard

You heard me speak
You heard me say
Words that you took away
Making us forever friends
Even til today.

I heard you speak
I heard you say
These words I write
I write today.

I Have Not Heard Of This

 

 

 

 

I have not heard of this
I have not been this
I will not ever become this

 

I know not what this is.

Better To Speak

Better to speak and not just the words be heard.
