In the shadows dark
Amid an illusion cast
I hide the real me

An off limits place
Where I store all my real fears
My mind seeks solace

Thicker than water
Like blood running through your viens
Your child too runs there


Sun about to rise
Say what you have to say soon
Darkness is my friend

About surrender
It is heavy on the heart
White flags show no blood

Made many changes
Loneliness the by-product
Your heart strayed away

Who wants to fail
Life and death are parallel
Lest we fall off track

What were you thinking
My heart afire still yearning
Embers thrown in trash

Saw a train wreck here
It's all about bad timing
You and I no chance

Put my foot in mouth
Need Heimlich maneuver quick
Words hard to swallow

Patient lost both legs
Left expensive pair of shoes
Good news or bad news

Neath the burning sun
The flowers slowly wilted
As I too dry up

No heart is the same
Especially if broken
Need help with repairs

I am not a God
Still you seek me for answers
Pray I not be one
