Poems
How long does it take to make a light so great?
How much pain did you suffer, how much hate?
How much love did you give, how much of you did it take?
How much was you and how much was fate?

Why do the brightest lights, take so long to fade away?
Why do you still seem to listen to what I have to say?
Why are you all I think of when I try to play?
Why have you made me feel this way?

Have you said all you had to say?
Have you played all the games there are to play?
Is tomorrow going too finally be your last day?
Then what will I do when I have bills to pay?
Who do I turn to when no one will listen to what I say?
Where do I go when I just want to feel at home?
Oh God please don't leave me all alone.
Fuck it I am going to go get stoned.

At least I don't feel so bad.
At least I don't feel so sad.
At least I don't feel so mad.
At least I don't feel so glad.
Oh God what about my dad?

What is he going to do?
How will he carry on with out you?
Even though you're still here,
The last thing you are is near.
Why are the only feelings left inside you: feelings of fear?
Fuck it I am going to go drink more beer.



At least I don't see the problems grow.
At least I don't see the evil that is so damn slow.
At least I don't see your glow.
At least I don't have to ever let you go.
Oh God what about my bro?

What will be left of him?
With out you he doesn't have a friend.
With out you will he see things to the end?
With out you will all his troubles be mine to mend?
With out you will all his money be mine that I send?

Why have you forgotten all the things you know?
Why can't you just let the rest go?
Why don't you just rejoin with the flow?
What is left, what will the hands of fate sew?

Finally now you're gone.
Did your hair turn from gray to blond?
Was he there, or did he break your bond?
Do you have all the things, of which you were so fond?
Now it's so much colder in here.
Where did you go my dear?
Now I am all alone I fear.

Fuck it I am going to go crazy.
At least I don't need an excuse to be lazy.
At least I don't need an excuse to have a future so hazy.
At least I don't need an excuse to sit and watch the sea.
At least I don't need an excuse to go and climb a tree.
At least I don't need an excuse to feel free.
Oh God what happened to me?


Fleeting horrors, ink that is smeared.
Crying babies, sheep that are sheared.
Running ragged, eyes that are teared.
Screaming lunatics, fists that are feared.

Now I know what must be done.
It's time to grow up, time to not be outdone.
Time to prove you were right.
Time to prove you did have the insight.
Time to show off all my might.
Time to show how you made my thoughts so tight.
Time to make my light as bright.
