Crown of Roses

The rose of red sits basking in the glory of her slander
She thrives upon her role as a holy pretender
With beliefs that she is destined, to sit upon the throne
But not an ounce of mercy has this holy flower shown
This queen of scarlet plots and cheats without a second thought
And feels no remorse for the evil deeds, the trouble she has wrought
For she silences and murders, those who in her path stand
The color of her petals match the blood upon her hands
Ambition was their greatest downfall, accompanied with lies
It brought about their destruction and pitiful demise
All for the want of power, the symbol of the crown
In greed and thirst for greatness, all the roses drown
The white rose is a shadow behind his brother's reign
Upon his brother's death the throne he seeks to gain
So he back stabs and betrays, two of his own young kin
Only in cold blooded murder, the crown he comes to win.
Ambition was their greatest downfall, accompanied with lies
It brought about their destruction and pitiful demise
All for the want of power, the symbol of the crown
In greed and thirst for greatness, all the roses drown

The Fall

She gave it a second chance, though he ripped her heart clean out of her chest
When he betrayed her through a glance,and a tempting ruse ending with a kiss
She thought it was eternity, the love she had discovered in him
But in this cruel reality, very few things can last forever.
Second chances bring greater heart ache, this girl came to learn through his blow
But the love she had known wasn't fake, this tragic ending couldn't be real
She had to hold on to the thought,that he would come back to her once more
This ideal vision she had sought, came crashing down through its fragile frame.
They say that time heals all wounds,
But then why is her cut growing deeper?
That it's all about the climb,
But then why is her hill growing steeper?
She knows that it's best to let go,
But she's afraid of the fall.
He threw at her, a fatal blow,
She wants to forget it all.
And cease to exist...
Every night he was always there, every morning he kissed her goodbye.
Now she turns to find his side bare, she doesn't know how she will do this.
It was becoming much more real, this realization hurt even more
How could something lose its appeal, for him who vowed he was so in love
They say that time heals all wounds,
But then why is her cut growing deeper?
That it's all about the climb,
But then why is her hill growing steeper?
She knows that it's best to let go,
But she's afraid of the fall.
He threw at her, a fatal blow,
She wants to forget it all.
And cease to exist...

King Of Hearts

I know who you are, you are bitter you are ugly
And you weave your words into patterns like a thread
You are a usurper, a manipulating monster
And you ripped the crown clean from my head
You used to be the king of hearts, but now you're the king of lies
I'm glad I finally see you mind, removed the blinds from my eyes
If opposing you will bring my end, but your ambition dies, so be it...
I will rule my own heart again.
You gave me your word, and you told me that you loved me
And I let your poison creep into my heart
You battered me, you bent me, and I know you meant to break me
But now I see you for what you truly are
You used to be the king of hearts, but now you're the king of lies
I'm glad I finally see you mind, removed the blinds from my eyes
If opposing you will bring my end, but your ambition dies, so be it...
I will rule my own heart again.
Do you feel remorse, as if you were in the wrong
Do you lie awake at night and wonder what could have been
If you had not been selfish, power hungry, corrupt?
If not, I pity you
You locked me in a tower and you threw away the key
You buried my soul hidden under the stairs
But now I am resurfacing, I'm looking for vengeance.
My heart and my mind now agree as a pair.
You used to be the king of hearts, but now you're the king of lies
I'm glad I finally see you mind, removed the blinds from my eyes
If opposing you will bring my end, but your ambition dies, so be it...
I will rule my own heart again.

Eulogy

The rain is falling, but you don't care;
Heavy boots collide with the muddy ground.
Water drips from your uncombed hair,
You come to a halt at a large gray stone.
Tears mix with rain falling to the floor,
The name's engraved on the stone and your heart,
But her face you won't see anymore.
It's a mere memory in your mind.
The wind picks up and grazes your ear
Recalling the whispers she saved for you
Her voice is all you're longing to hear
But you're now deaf to her sweet melody
The air is cold and so is your skin
All the more 'cause you will not feel her warmth
Those nights you held her, never again
Will you taste the sweetness of her kiss
She's the rain on your shoulders, the birds in the sky
The flashes of memories burned in your eye
She's in all of the beauty that's passing you by
You see her face everywhere
She's the warm summer breeze, the wind's gentle sigh
The leaves of the trees circled in flight.
She's the beat of your heart, the reason you cry
Her laugh still rings through your ears
She is slowly disappearing now
The pillows no longer carry her scent
It's hard to handle, you wonder how
The memories now are becoming so dim
Her eyes, her smile, the hue of her hair
Are now foreign, staring through your old frame
The fact that she's fading is not fair
You're sinking deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper...
It's just the rain on your shoulders, just birds in the sky
Faint flashes of memories fade from your eye
She's so hard to remember, it's passing you by
You can't see her anymore.
Not in the warm summer breeze, the wind only sighs
As leaves of the trees circle in flight
The steady beat of your heart gets you to cry
She's gone. Now, she's truly died.

Heart Exchange

I told myself I was done giving my heart away
No more vulnerability, heart ache, pain
Because the hurt that followed far outweighed the happiness
I vowed to never love again
Now that I am yours
Body, heart, and soul
I need to be sure
This won't end in pain
I cannot begin
To think about the cost
I have everything to lose
But even more to gain
Sorry I am broken
I just need to see
That in place of my heart
You've left yours for me.
I tread around you cautiously 'cause I was afraid
Though I knew you'd already fallen for me.
I made a pact with myself that I would not break
But those bright blue eyes got a hold of me.
Now that I am yours
Body, heart, and soul
I need to be sure
This won't end in pain
I cannot begin
To think about the cost
I have everything to lose
But even more to gain
Sorry I am broken
I just need to see
That in place of my heart
You've left yours for me.
I thought that a part of me died when I was betrayed
The love that I had really ruined me.
But you have awakened the doused fire in my soul
My sore heart is now allowed to be free.
Please don't take this lightly, know the wound is healing still,
With it may come insecurities.
My heart is now yours, but it's still very fragile
Take care with this responsibility.
Now that I am yours
Body, heart, and soul
I need to be sure
This won't end in pain
I cannot begin
To think about the cost
I have everything to lose
But even more to gain
Sorry I am broken
I just need to see
That in place of my heart
You've left yours for me.

I feel a hole in the pit of my stomach,
The ticking of the clock screams "time is running out."
I always say I try to live in the present
But the future's about to slap me in the face.
So can you please take my hand, and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead, I can't do this alone.
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you,
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too
It's like I've come to the end of a good book,
I can't bring myself to finish the last few pages
'Cause once I read them, the story is over,
And something is missing from my life..
So can you please take my hand, and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead, I can't do this alone.
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you,
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too
I fear regret, I don't want the "what if's" looming,
My goals from the past, haunting the future me.
So, if you're willing to stand by me through it all,
I'm not saying goodbye to you.
My friendships will dwindle as we go our ways,
There will be an emptiness I feel as they leave,
But if you will trust me, the job will then be yours
To sew together the gaps
So can you please take my hand, and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead, I can't do this alone.
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you,
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too

Remember that night when we first kissed?
When I held your hand close to me
And you smiled... and said
"Hey, I think I'm falling for you."
Remember that time inside your car?
You were heading out of town
And I smiled... and said
"Hey, I think I'm falling for you."
Hey, I think I'm falling for you
Hey, I think I'm falling for you
Hey, I think I'm falling for you
Hey, I think I've fallen for you

You and Me

For the past two years I've been trying to hide
All the things that I have left behind
But why, why can't I listen to my mind
Is cluttered with all these images
Of your self inflicted bitterness
And this is what it's come to
You and me

The Weeping Tree

She waits as his last fleeting thought
Filters to gray...
And she left his apartment.
So she thinks to herself
"This can't be right."
She gave her best yet she never was alive.
It's been 4 whole years since...
The light's been on and
She knew she could come home.
Her memories seem to haunt her
everyday.
The past is a demon stuck inside her brain.
"Yet, this is what I must do..."
She says as
She catches a cab headed out of town.
"There!" she shouts,
"Stop the car!"
She pays the driver and runs towards the hill.
The weeping tree...
The weeping tree...
She comes to a hault
In awe, she thinks
"This tree... makes me feel so alive."
So she presses her head
to its trunk
and listens to its heart.
"Oh my God
What a life
What a tragic, sad, sad life."
"And now I wonder...
What's the point?
There's really no use in living anymore."
So she climbs the tree
and ties a knot out of
the old swing that once hung there.
"And this is where I belong..."
The weeping tree...
The weeping tree...
