all my stuff on this pc is old, my newer stuff is on my other computer. these are a few of mine.
This is one of my better ones. They aren't separated into stanzas, because I dnot' think/write like that. I just write lines taht sounds good together.
Lesson learned.
God, I cant believe youd do this to me. It drug by so slow, I just want you to know. Thinking back, I knew it true. Why? because I know you. My heart crumbles more each second. But you should know. Ive learned my lesson. I look at you sitting next to me. Heaven and Hell are fighting again I see. Youre a fallen angel. Ive taken that apple that you dangle from the tree. Why do you tease me? I purge whats left from my system, thinking, god help me I still miss him. I saw the real you a second too late. By them Id taken all I could take. In your eyes I see a hollow surprise. But its not a shock. I already knew. So this is the lesson I take from you.
I wrote this as a song for a guy in a band. I don't know if he used it or not.
The Puppet Master
Lead like a puppet
By hand and heart
Into this land, Kept like art
Always to follow, never to lead.Forever blind, never to see
The world is lain out. The path is picked.The puppet master will now finish her trick.Look deep in the plastic puppet eyes. You now see her dark surprise.Through the darkness. Through the light. The puppet walks blank, in a blight.She sees nothing, she wont feel
See is as dim and dank as the watery eel. Falling deeper into the web, nothing sacred will be said.But then the bow broke, and the puppet did fall,Path, mind, strings and all
The puppet stood up. The master looked down.This wasnt in the script! She was dumbfound.Looking around she tore off the strings. For the first time in forever, she heard the birds start to sing.She was free, she broke the hold.This is the end, her story is told. The puppet walked away that day, not to be lead a different way.
That is one of my favorites, and one of my longest.
