Dark Corners

The pain and hurt,
He feels inside,
If you look close enough,
You will see it,

 in his eyes,

The torment of losing,
over and over again,
A cruelty that's known to him,
Of who he is,
and who he should be,
Just to be close again,

Not one to take control,
Never to say,
but gives his heart,

whole,

Never believed in anything,
Never had the opportunity,
Left alone to pour out his soul,
He could be,

you or me,
The teardrops fall,
As he writes and draws,

A painting of a lonely soul,
Left on his own,
Wandering,
Thinking,
What might have been,
Walks through the darkness,
No one's there,

Just his dreams,

A horse in the field,
roaming alone,
With no one to shield,
from the pouring rain,
To call his own,
continuously beating,
Again and again,

Sadness and pain,
Returns yat again,
Who,
Why,
Does he feel this way,
No one knows,
No one can,
He is the child,
Who became a man.

She's Gone

He stands there watching,
as the rain falls down,
He's thinking of her,
as he stands alone,
Do you think of what's happened,
think of the times,
It took place so long ago,

He stands there watching,
as the rain falls down,
He's patiently waiting,
waiting for his wife to come home,
As he began to remember,
what others had forgot,
The teardrops fell,
and hit the ground,

He stands there watching,
as the rain fell down,
He thinks of the nights,
that she came home,
But now he just stands there all alone,
His wife was now gone,
Never to come home,
Hit by a driver on her way home,

Now he stand there waiting,
standing alone,
The rain keeps falling,
when no one can see,
He stands there waiting for eternity.
