Leave Behind

Comparing feelings through it all
Brought upon by challenges unsolved
Retracing steps to understand
Changes that could not be made
Trying to restore all thoughts
To regain composure and control
Mind over matter just might work
Learning to cope with all this hurt
Knowing that the love must go
Emotions are harder to leave behind

*March 1996*

Tous ceux qui l'ont vécus,
le savent déjà et ne seront confus.
Tous ceux qui ne le savent déjà,
seront confus jusqu'à ce qu'ils l'auront vécus.

*Février 1996*

Bouleversé en confusion

Toutes émotions bouleversées dans cette confusion
Aucune chance de remettre ce qu'il y avait dans le passé
Mon opinion se fera jamais entendus sauf lorsque
j'y mettrai l'effort de me faire entendre
Toutes choses qui m'est si précieux ne vaux
rien sans en avoir lieu
Pris pour acquis, je comprends
Mais personne peut respecter ma discretion
de vouloir mon silence et ma paix
Retourner en arrière, c'est impossible
de changer ce qui est le passé
Prenez garde et évitez tous
blocages de pensés

*Février 1996*

Unfinished/Untitled

No more tears
without our fears
Where we shall hear
All who are near

*February 1996*

tortured souls and minds cannot
describe pains that subside within the
hearts of fragile children playing
isolated from all harm brought
upon by evil souls that make us wary
of things foretold by those insightful
of such matters complicating life in
ways that make differences seem
so alike without clarifying subjects
that are forbidden by a simple
touch from deep within completing
tasks that fought to come out
saying words that hurt so much
creating unforgettable sorrows leaving
imprints within minds untouched and
unchanged even when brought
the chance to change past
events...

*February 1996*

Untitled

Courage found in ones dream
Can be broken off at the seam
Truths forgotten what they mean
Unforgotten is this pain
Dark clouds filled with rain
Complete sadness of one's slain
Broken hearts brought to shame
Can be so fragile never tame
Always spoken with such pain

*February 1996*

Untitled

Love is known to some
but few
Respecting something quite
so true
Keeping all as once
we knew
Sorrows lost reaching out
for you

*February 1996*

Untitled

Feeling better
By being there
Shows how much
You really care
Special smiles
Without fear
All's forgotten
When you're near

*February 1996*

Forced

Forced upon this gentle parcel
All memories of this one hassle
Forced to stay and hear
All memories of that one year
Forced upon this innocent soul
All memories of lost control
Forced not to speak that night
All memories concealed in fright
Forced to keep eternal silence
All memories of awful violence
Forced silence to tease and taunt
All memories that come to haunt
Forced pain, sorrow and agony
All memories of uncaught felony

*January 1996*

Indecisive

Indecisive, we aren't free
Caught, between one, two, three
Mixed, feelings locked inside
Truths, unsaid that may hide
Blue, skies turn to gray
Unknowing, nights throughout the day

*January 1995*
