The Truth Be Told
Everything Is Starting To Unfold
The One Thing I Was Told I Couldn-‘t Do
Is Suddenly Painfully True
It-‘s All Too Much
I Can-‘t Even Eat My Lunch
Looked Into The Eyes, I Knew Were So Very Blue
My Glaze Stuck There As If It Were Glued
It Was There I Found Some Truth
The Undeniable Proof
That He No Longer Cared
Even After All The Time We Had Shared
He Spoke Of Being Friends, And Friends We Shall Stay
That-‘s Fine I Say, After My Thoughts Had Already Strayed.
These Days I Can-‘t Help But Cry
Doesn-‘t Matter How Hard I Try
Fifteen Years Is Quite A While
My Brother Could Always Make Me Smile
We Were Two Of A Kind
Always Had The Same Thing On Our Mind
My Brother And I
Had Always Loved Cherry Pie
How I Miss Him So
These Days Seem To Be Slow
Over A Year Ago, I Watched Him Go
To The Airport, He Was Took
Never Even Gave Me A Second Look
Please Stay Here With Me Was My Plea
He Didn-‘t Hear, He Took His Flee.
As My Heart Wants To Scream
My Nephew-‘s Pull Me From My Daydream
Beautiful Smiles On Their Face
As We Play A Game Of Chase
Such Innocence And Common Sense
These Boys Would Always Be The First Ones I-‘d Miss.
Never In All My Sixteen Years
Have I Had A Bigger Fear
Of Not Being Here-Â…
Their Mother, I May Not Be
Though I Would, If The Choice Was Up To Me.
I Sit On My Bed
And Watch The Sunset Overhead
Reds, Oranges, Purples, And Pinks
All In The Sky As Beautiful As Can Be
Staring At My Paper, Pencil In Hand
I Imagine A Place
Where No One Knows Me By Face
Then I Lightly Trace
As If The Picture Is Already There
I Sketch Away My Despair
Draw And Draw Til It-‘s Right
Taking My Time, Long Into The Night
And At The End, It-‘s My Tears That I Must Fight
Tears Gone, Drawing Done
Time To Go To Sleep
I Lay Down, Close My Eyes
But I Only Start To Think, And Then See
Past, Present, Hopeful Future, All Images
Running Through My Mind,
Til Finally I Drift Off To Sleep
At Least Until My Dreams Wake Me.
Six A.M., Monday Morning
Time To Start My Week
Call Him Just To Hear Him Speak.
Always A Sweet Treat
Silently I Smile To Myself
When He Asks What I-‘m Thinking
Cuz Only I Know What-‘s In This Mind Of Mine
