When I return home from school
I see Mom and Dad fight a lot
And I am the only audience
To a wrestling match that’s fought
…
Daddy punches her in the gut
Poor Mommy shouts, “It’s a crime.”
But Daddy pays no heed to her
Because Daddy wins all the time
…
They come to blows so easily
I think they simply must love to fight
They always fight during the day
Sometimes they even fight at night
…
Daddy has no bruise to name
While Mom’s got scars on her face
Dad always takes the winning prize
While Mommy keeps second place
…
Sometimes I really wonder if
They would for once just cease to fight
It’s hard to get my homework done
Without any sort of calm or quiet
…
Today on returning home from school
I was greeted by an unusual sight
There was no sound of violence
There was no sound of a fight
…
Mom stood smiling in the kitchen
Dad lay bloodied on the floor
No more fights there’ll be in this house
Mommy has now settled the score

LOL
I thought it was love
When we used to laugh together
Though the joke was always on me
…
I thought it was love
When you introduced me to your friends
And we spent hours together
Laughing, and having the time of our lives
Though the joke was always on me
…
But then I realised
That you actually thought me a fool
That you relished making fun of me
In front of your friends
In front of everyone
I thought it was love
But the joke was on me
…
But I forgive you
For you weren’t laughing
When I stabbed you
A hundred times
You didn’t laugh
When I exchanged
Your laughter for screams
You didn’t laugh
When I wrote on the wall
With your very blood
LOL
I thought it was love
Now the joke’s on you
There Is Evil Watching Me
There is evil watching me
There is evil following me
Like a shadow of the day
Asking me to go astray
…
Evil greets me in the night
When I can’t put up a fight
All the good is left behind
When the dark evokes my mind
…
The light of the next day sun
Brings me to where I’d begun
I curse the Devil and his name
I don’t know if I’m the same
The Demons’ Cue
All my angels whisper to me
“Be good to everyone you see.”
The demons in my heart just say
“Don’t listen to that fallacy.”
My poor soul caught between the two
A middle road it will pursue
It will listen to what the angels say
While following the demons’ cue
The Hand
In the dark of the night
I feel a hand touch me
There is no one in sight
Whose hand just could it be?
I switch on the light
It blinks along with me
I shiver full of fright
Whose hand just could it be?
In the flickering light
A hand is what I see
Chokes me with great might
Whose hand …
Poor Cat Poor Cat
Poor cat poor cat
With a noose ’round her neck
Poor cat poor cat
How did she get into that?
Poor cat poor cat
Did I do this to you?
Poor cat poor cat
I do not have a clue
Poor cat poor cat
After I killed my wife
Poor cat poor cat
You were the only life
Poor cat poor cat
Now that you are gone
Poor cat poor cat
I’ll find another one
Her Transparent Nature
I fell in love with her
With her strange, mysterious ways
Her calm and soothing voice
Her scary, haunting gaze
Her transparent nature
Her wild and violent head
The way she made me fly
And hover above my bed
I fell in love with her
But she could never be mine
Not today, not tomorrow
In this world or time
I had to leave it all
That’s what hurts the most
Love’s too small a word
When you love a ghost
When She Hears My Whispers
I always used to love her
And I love her still
She controlled every heartbeat
My mind and my will
When I said, “I love you.”
She bid my heart goodbye
“I couldn’t live without you.”
“So find a way to die.”
Now my spirit is free
Yet she’s still the one
She never understood me
But I’m having fun
To see her stressed and frightened
Running for some light
When she hears my whispers
In the dark of night
She Sees Things In The Dark
She sees things in the dark
She suffers every day
With her I also suffer
Suffer in every way
Sometimes she sees ghosts
Sometimes; ravens and crows
Sometimes she just cries
Reasons that only heaven knows
Tonight she woke me up
I felt her sweaty hand
She said she saw something
Something disturbing again
I asked her about the matter
She mumbled with a heavy breath
She held my hand tighter
“I think I saw your death.”
An Ominous Vision
I said, “I had a vision
Doesn’t feel too good
We should pack our bags now
Leave this town for good.”
But no one ever listened
They thought it was a joke
Everyone just laughed at
The warning that I spoke
It wasn’t long before they
Realised their fault
Everything just stood still
The town came to a halt
With every rat that came out
With every worm in town
All the ravens fluttered
To bring the moonlight down
That’s when it was certain
We had reached our end
There was no escaping
The terrors of new friends
Everyone was eaten
Not a soul was spared
Then they came up to me
A new king was declared
Then I woke up from my
Dreamy premonition
Is this what it’s like to
Have an ominous vision?
