"The Hit Of Love" 
 
The tears she cries
aren't tears of joy
The pain she feels
is cold and dark
 
They tell her they're sorry
But if she wouldn't talk back
they wouldn't hit so hard
They use to tell her
It was a hit of love
But now she knows
it is a hit of hate
 
The hit of demons
That will scar her last minutes of life
This is her last thought as she picked up the knife
She felt a rush of blood and the light disappeared
They found her on her bed, her pillow soaked
with her last tears....
 
Dedicated to a friend, lost so young to abuse.
 

"Hero"
 
Oh what a beautiful sight
A miracle is born
She has her mother's eyes,
and his life is full of joy
 
Soon the mother is gone
Guess she didn't care
But life must go on
So he takes the next step up the stairs
 
It's very hard for a man to raise
A baby on his own
So with love in his heart
He searches for a mom to make a new home
The baby grows up
As daddy's little girl
and she never tells him
He means more than the world
 
Now that she is older
She has come to realize
The hero she is searching for
Has always been right before her eyes.
 
Dedicated to Orias Wade Butler,
my father, my hero
 

"Nightmare"
 
Shadows in the dark
Figures clutching to the tree's bark
Sounds howling in the night
Creatures killing their prey
Will all their might
Your standing here, all alone
Listening to the night's awful moans
Your body tingles with fear
Your soul releases a bewildering tear
 
Your eyes flitch back and forth
Looking for a burning torch
He steps out from behind the trees
And your mind says for you to flee
But your trapped in his web
Like a spider's butterfly soon to be dead
He grabs hold of you not planning to let go
You strike him with meaningful blows
You knock off the thing hiding his identity
But you are not ready for what you see
Because this is a man made up of space
For he is a mask without a face.
 

" I Will Not Cry"
 
Though I may miss the walks among the trees
and all the dances to the song
"Wind Beneath My Wings"
I realize the sun will not shine
as brightly as it did in your eyes
As I put so many miles behind me
On this lonely dark road
I finally realize I wasn't free to hold
The memories will never fade
The feelings I felt will always remain
That night I felt as if I could fly
And now my heart keeps reminding me....
I will not cry....
 
Dedicated to Shay Barwick,
another beautiful soul
lost before his time.

 
 
 
 
"I Could Love You"
 
The way he talks is very dear
The way he listens is sincere
He is a man of character
A man filled with love
 
The words he uses
bring tears to my eyes
The sound of his voice
brings me alive
He is a man of life
A man of happiness
 
I'll remember every dialogue that we speak
The words that make me so very weak
He is a man who cares
A man worthy of your trust
He is not just a dream
He is reality.
