The Coward - (Continued in the next post) He left before he got his reward For working 15 minutes 9 months before He drove off not a care in his mind Not really knowing what he left behind A young runaway soon to be mom Blown to bits by this personal bomb Left for the thrill of an altered state Not wanting to care for what he helped create So young and lost in a foreign place The look of failure upon her face Cold and alone nowhere to turn The hardest lesson she had to learn Drugs are controlling and most of all Dont trust the scum from the carnival Sure she knew him for over 3 years That just turned into 3 years of tears What do you do when its almost time And the world has no sense or rhyme This is real and not a game Do you give it away or do you give it a name Hes not there to help you out He wont be there at all throughout Keep it or give up for adoption To you the third way is not an option Cant give it normal due to complication Must remove the child by operation A quick cut and pull and its all over You cradle the child against your shoulder
The Coward - (Continued) The life you live is not for him So you sign the child over to them But one last look into his eyes You change your mind and start to cry I will not do what your father did So your life will not be up for bid So on the streets they were to roam For she had no place to call home For he left her with nothing on that day Only thing she could do was pray And lucky for her that He was listening For her life He watched with His eyes glistening A stranger came and took them in Not caring about her life of sin For he was a preacher and within he would look Not just reading the cover of her book He showed her the way that the good Book teached And she listened hungrily while he preached She found her way on got on her feet She found a home not on the street She raised that child with God in mind To love and forgive and to be kind She gave that child all that she could With no help from the one who should The boy grew up 10 fingers 10 toes 2 eyes a mouth big cheeks and a nose He never knew the one that donated He never came back not one hello stated He didnt know his son was alive For the drugs told him to take a drive He missed out on the life of his son And all of the great things that he has done No one knows if he is alive or dead Maybe he has cleaned up or instead The drugs took him on one last trip And drove him to his lonesome crypt It doesnt matter either way The son has no feelings to this day The way he sees it is simply this What you do not have you can not miss
Silence He said I love you She said nothing He wished she would speak to him She said nothing A tear ran down his cheek She said nothing */chorus/* So close yet so far away Growing harder everyday To handle the separation He doesn't want to move on Even though she's already gone She's the only one he loved */verse/* He cried the day she left She said nothing Left him with two kids She said nothing He asked why She said nothing */chorus/* So close yet so far away Growing harder everyday To handle the separation He doesn't want to move on Even though she's already gone She's the only one he loved */verse/* He said he missed her She said nothing He hit his knees She said nothing He laid the flowers on her stone She said nothing */chorus x 2/* So close yet so far away Growing harder everyday To handle the separation He doesn't want to move on Even though she's already gone She's the only one he loved
Okay Whats done is done There is no going back This time its for good The train has jumped track I walked away from all of this This empty life we shared Though I still think about The time we use to care But those days have set And new ones will dawn Hope your doing good Cuz' I have moved on I pulled myself together And I just wanted to say That even though its hard I am doing okay The memories we made Still dance fresh in my mind I continue to walk forward And leave it behind Too bad it had to end But tomorrow is another day For me to find another That will make me feel that way That day in the sun Your head on my chest Us staring at heaven Our love was the best I pulled myself together And I just wanted to say That even though its hard I think Im doing okay I dont think it will be easy To find another like you One that makes me happy And has a love so true My sleeping is erratic My days are turning grey The sun is slowly setting My smile has gone away I havent eaten in a while And my health is quickly fading I sit alone in the dark But I hear that you are dating I have fallen apart And I just wanted to say It was just way too hard No Im not okay
