Two In The Morning
Well, as of right now,
Today hasn't technically started!
It's after two in the morning,
Not even dawn has broken yet,
So I cannot deem it to be "tomorrow"
Or "today" until I see that morning sun.
I know it will come sooner than I expect,
But right now it is dark,
And I am cold,
And I am alone.
Scratch that,
I still have my cat for company.

You insist on having no voice
Keeping your secrets locked down
Inside your throat, sealed below
With a melancholy frown
Your eyes refuse to see the
Morning daylight from the sun
You push back that unfathomable
Night and choose to run
Your memory is tainted by
That dreaded night's curse
You say that you're fine
But you're just getting worse
Let me help you, my friend,
In any way that I possibly can
Don't submit yourself to secrecy
Because of some sadistic man
Open your mouth and tell the world
That should have the right to know
Because you're safety is important to me
And I don't want to let you go
END
I shouldn't love you, but I have no choice
My heartstrings tug just a little bit every time
Your name enters my depressing thoughts
My face flushes when your beautiful words
Reach down into the sensitive part of my soul
Warming happiness spreads from my head to
My toes when I see you smile
You manage to scare away all the fear and
Doubt that resides within me when I'm upset
Your passionate language throws me off guard
So often that I'm afraid to respond to your message
When I think of the past, so harmful to my spirit,
You think of the future, where our love will play
In the leaves of tomorrow
For forever more
END
The world that I live in is nothing too great
I honestly hate living in this unconscionable state
Of mind where nothing seems to goes right
Where the flicker of hope goes out like a light
I feel like reality is slipping away from me
And I can no longer reach the door I must see
So I reside myself to my darkened thoughts
And remind myself that I don't need to be taught
I sit in a corner in my brain
Trying so hard to keep myself sane
From the chaos that surrounds me so
Ignoring the people that seem to know
More about life than they let on to
Too bad nobody believes it's true
I cover my ears to block out the lies
I can't stand the

Little Black Bird
The little black bird sits in her cage
Lonely, afraid of the outside world
Or, more precisely, afraid of the people in the outside world
She sings her songs from the bars of her cage
But nobody ever listens
They just nod and move on to continue with their daily lives
Not even bothering to see that the poor bird is dying
Dying from lack of love
Lack of heart
Lack of life
And just when she thought she was going to have her chance to fly free
It was taken from her
Taken away from her like a piece of candy, as if it was no big deal
She never talks, never says a word
The little black bird just keeps singing about a new day
But how c
