Dear Father
You are there when I am sad,
you are there when I am mad.
You're soft to the touch,
I love you so much.
I clutch you real tight
when I'm engrossed in fright.
When the cool wind blows
and tingles at my toes,
You comfort me,
so I can sleep.
When the night was dark,
and I was lost in the park,
You found me,
and did not flee.
You are my father
and without you... I could not stay together.
you truly are a saint.

In the Dark
I'm left alone in the dark,
I do not know what's going on.
He is like a big black shark,
and I am just a lonesome swan.
He keeps it all in a box,
he locks it up with a single key.
He doesn't know I hare the talks,
while I strive for a bit of safety.
I fooled myself into loving him,
I also thought he loved me too.
I fill my glass up to the rim,
because there is nothing else I can do.
His heart is beating for another,
my heart has stopped and will not start.
The only one that loves me is my mother,
My whole life is falling apart.
I'm left alone in the dark,
there is no light, I cannot see.
Playing with him in at the park,
is where I would much rather be.
I'm all alone in this lifeless twist,
I'll dry my tears and start over.
For you are the only one I've kissed,
In the dark.

Running from the Past
I run alone in the rain,
wishing I will never see him again.
As the water beats on the window pane,
I hope no one saw my pain.
As he slapped me across the face,
and they saw me weep in disgrace.
He ripped my blouse full of lace,
and bruises I cannot trace.
I try to run to a different land,
where the ground is pure sand.
And there are no demands,
someone will lend a hand.
I will get my life back in order,
and take my heart over the boarder,
so it will not lay in the horror
Of the man who killed my soul.
(He can have my soul, he can take my toll, but I will not love him, for that - I control)

Nightmares
I have problems sleeping at night,
I wake up in a cold sweat
All my dreams are filled with fright
I wake up shivering and wet.
I have long endless dreams
of monsters, goblins and ghosts
I awake with a horrible scream
big scary mummies I fear the most.
I have dreams that I'm falling down a big black hole
Oh no! Is there something behind my closet door?
I have dreams where I'm trapped under a clear glass bowl
I can't take this anymore!!!!
I think I'll go to bed early tonight,
and skip my dreams of horrid fright.

Effect of Rumours
I heard the other day,
the whisper of the wind.
It spread rumours,
in a flash of lightning.
When this massive,
freak of nature
struck the ground,
the Earth trembled.
It shook with such terror,
that it broke open,
and still did not stop shaking.
It was not until
Masses of its soil
tore off and floated
amongst the stars,
that the violent movement,
subsided.

Don't be Blind
You didn't see me crying,
when my heart was torn in two.
You didn't see me laughing,
and I know this is true.
You didn't see me leaving
from the place I call home.
And you didn't see me whispering,
when I felt all alone.
You didn't see me sighing,
when I was caressed.
You didn't see me drinking,
when I was depressed.
You didn't see any of this,
yet you still knew,
That in my heart there was amiss,
where I was sad and blue.
You didn't lend a hand,
you didn't really care.
Do they call you a friend?
Because you've caused my heart to tear.
If you are a friend,
then don't be blind.
Unless this is the end,
if so, then...
Goodbye.

Love Me
Sometimes I wish that you were mine,
but your heart is with another.
The love between us only you can find,
Oh please say you'll be my lover.
I can give you my heart,
she will only leave yours broken.
We will never have to part,
I just sit here hopin'.
I want to be embraced in your arms,
the fire between up will grow stronger.
The heat will set off alarms,
and we will have to wait no longer.
Our passion will grow,
we'll share our fears.
The words will flow,
the only thing I wish to hear
is...
Laura, I love you.

Did You Ever love Someone?
Did you ever love someone,
and know they didn't care?
Did you ever feel like crying,
but know you'd get nowhere?
Did you ever look into his eyes
and say a little prayer?
Did you ever look into his heart,
and wish that you were there?
Did you ever see him dancing
when the lights were turned down low?
Did you ever say "I love you"
and "I'll never let you go?
Don't ever fall in love, my friend,
it isn't worth a dime.
It only causes broken hearts,
but it happens all the time.
Don't ever fall in love, my friend
you'll hurt before it's through.
You see my friend, I should know,
I fell in love with you.

If I Should Die
There is a prayer that I do know,
that I shall say until I grow.
"If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord, my soul to take."
And with my soul, please take my heart,
so they will never, ever part.
And with my heart, please take my love,
so it will not be a lonesome dove.
I will pray until I die,
and then my love, I'll learn to fly.
I will fly, across the plain
and I won't stop, until the rain.
And when the rain starts to pour,
I will not, wait anymore.
I will go up to the cloud,
and you, my love, will be so proud.
I will wait until your time,
and you won't cry, remember you're mine.
Keep on living, don't be sad.
If you are not, I shall be glad.
There is a time for everyone,
just you wait, for yours to come.

Well, that's it. I do hope you liked some of them... if not all.
Love Laura.
