Yin Yang

The melody made her cry

Like she never had before

It left her feeling empty

And her heart so very sore

It was the wrongness in the right

It was the sorrow in the joy

It was the hate that came from love

And the broken pieces of her favorite toy

The silent whispers made him quake

In fear and hate and loathing

It left him feeling lost and alone

In the shreds of his ripped clothing

It was the wrongness in the right

It was the sorrow in the joy

It was the hate that came from love

And the life that he destroyed

He could have let her live

She could have let him die

But now they're lost together

And can't help but wonder why

They dance this tango

Of lies and deceit

It started with the music

And ended with six feet

It was the wrongness in the right

It was the sorrow in the joy

It was the hate that came from love

And how their lives were destroyed

Christmas tears

On the first day she cried,

The second day she laughed

The third day she sighed,

And the fourth day she cracked

On the fifth day he came,

And held her in his arms

On the sixth he was gone

And with him all her charm

On the seventh day she smiled

The eighth day she raged

The ninth day she yelled at the wind

And the tenth day she aged

On the eleventh day he wrote,

And said he’d come home soon

On the twelfth day he wasn’t there

And she fell in love with the moon

And when the epiphany finally came

He was left behind in the dust

She rose up like a shining star

And he was left in the rain to rust

A Dozen Roses

He gave her a dozen roses

Six pure white, six dark black

He said ‘these represent our love,

The things we have, and what we lack’

She threw them into a river

And said to him, ‘I’m done’

She didn’t want to be with him,

If he couldn’t see the fun

So now he watches the river

The petals floating by

And wonders what went wrong

When the love began to die
