Paul Bourget

Some day you will know for yourself that it is almost as true to say that one recovers from all things as that there is nothing which does not leave its scar.

Old scar, new scar

Old scar, new scar
Stitched together by excellent tailor
Old scar on the hand
New scar on the head
Same pain, different trouble
First came shock
Then hurt became blue
Blue’s gone leaving scar
Old scar, white scar
New scar, hidden well
When morning’s gone, nights always come
Craving old scar, leaving new scar
Old scar, new scar
Stitched together by excellent tailor

Scars of the ego.

The fall of the leaf is the scar of the tree.
The scar indicates the tree’s seasoned strength.
The loss of the love is the scar of the ego.
The scar reminds the ego of its worth

He Should Be So Lucky......... :)

Ill try not to scar you with my words
But theres an issue i wish to be heard
Warning it may leave thoughts that scar
But ill start from this point, thus far

For years my mans had a dream
One which sets an unusual scene
Can't help laughing at his audacity
As every time i vision his suggestion
Just tickles me...

He stands and announces what he thinks
After one too many
Drinks
A game he seems desperate to play
But im not that type of girl
And our mates, nor are they....

He dreams of a large mat on the floor
Circles of colour, by the living room door
A tussle of balance and true skill
Naked Twister! ! ! !
Is he for real?

Thick skins

A scar for the scar is bravery.
To ignore a scar is chivalry.
To forgive it is exemplary.
Then, you must have a thick skin
To be branded a coward.

A Legacy

When I leave you
I will leave you
Things that might not help you
Things that might
Problems that I never solved
Dreams to keep you up at night
As I leave you
I will leave you
Things that stick for ever
Things that slide
Mysteries I swallowed whole
Happiness I couldnt share I will leave you
Promises I never kept I will leave you
Stories that I never told
Principles betrayed or sold
Love I tried to spread too wide I will leave you
Muscles you can grow in hate I will leave you
Summer darkness
Winter light
Young mans shame and
Old mans pride
When I leave you
I will hate to leave you
Thats the heat that grows
With growing old
So never let me leave you
Never let me leave you
Cold

Depression

Oh horid ways of emotions.
All actions tryed are of no use.
All actions acted are usless.
No matter the action its all in vain.

I cant go anywhere
Running is usless and of no point.
I cant go no where.
Even if the option were open.

Oh depression horrible depression
Hold me back ever more
Pin me down with the force of your grace.
Depression my one true friend.

A sad dark and lonely place.
Sit upon the walls.
Its so sad and vacant.
Vacant like my happy days.

Depression takes me
More and more each day.
Feeding on my sadness.

This is an everelasting scar
A scar not to heal
A scar not to mend.
It will bring me to my end

Leave This Man Alone

(Justin Hayward)
Ah, leave this man alone, Ah, leave this man alone
Young girls with long faces come to me at night and stay the night
Why am I so lonely?
Tell me is it right? (Is it right?)
Leave them, leave them, leave them, leave those things alone
Leave them, leave them, leave them, leave those things alone
Someone said I loved you, but I can't think where (I can't think where)
You know so much about me
So don't stand and stare, stand and stare
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave my mind alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this
(Instrumental)
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this
Someone said I loved you, but I can't think where (I can't think where)
You know so much about me
So don't stand and stare, stand and stare
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave my mind alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ahhhh

Here Comes That Sinking Feeling

Have you ever heard the sound of disappointment?
It tangles your head like a winter rose.
Comes up eager and shining
And it likes to leave a scar before it goes.
Here comes that sinking feeling
(cant keep it to myself)
Nobody hurts me like you do.
You cut into me like a poison dart.
Creep into my sleep at night.
Break into my dreams and tear them apart.
Here comes that sinking feeling.
Have you ever felt the sound of disappointment?
It pounds in your head like hammer blows.
Comes on gentle and smiling.
And it likes to leave a scar...
Here it comes again no.
Here comes that sinking feeling.

Shying Away....

it is not the falsity that makes
someone shy away
it is the truth that like a turtle
plunges deep inside a pail
of left-overs
showing its head only
when all of them
leave

and as he again recovers
his privacy
he finally shows the house
of its body.

A Strange Arrangement Of Colour

A strange arrangement of colours
You found your feet where you put her
I'm after you, you're after me
The things that we say, the things that we see
We've got to be reminded, Where did you go?
And what did you see, when you were there?
What did you leave? leave? leave? leave?
The light that is reflected
The times that you rejected
Your after me, I'm after you,
The things that we say
The things that we do
We've got to be good looking
Where did you go? And what did you see,
When you were there?
What did you leave? leave? leave? leave?
A lie that is rejected
A time that we reflected
I'm after you, you're after me
The things that we say, the things that we see
We've got to be reminded, Where did you go?
And what did you see, when you were there?
What did you leave? leave? leave? leave?
A strange arrangement of colours

As Has Been Taught

From one's observance,
It can be determined...
A true placement of values.

And what is accepted,
Needs not to be assessed...
To point out to others.
Or be heard routinely expressed.

A true placement of values,
Has been obsessed.
And obvious it is...
Needing not to be excused or confessed.
Since if it was not wished it would not exist.

From one's observance,
It can be determined...
A true placement of values.

And what is accepted,
Needs not to be assessed...
To point out to others or be expressed.
It is what it is as has been taught,
To teach and be believed to label as is revealed.

As has been taught...
These things we see to leave as is believed,
To leave within our minds without questioning but accept.

As has been taught...
These things we see to leave as is believed,
To leave within our minds without questioning but accept.

As has been taught.
As has been taught.
As has been taught...
To leave within our minds without questioning but accept,
These things we see to leave as is believed...
As has been taught.
As has been taught.
As has been taught.

Can we show it prove?

Sometimes it's hard just to love me (true)
And I say some things that ain't really (true)

One True Love

All above me the stars are bright
And a sweet suburban breeze is blowing
And down the block are the parking lights
Of a hundred friends who I barely know and
Don't know me
Don't know me
None of them know me

And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
I could be happy if I could be
(In the dark with one true love)

And in the middle of everyone
I still find myself with my thoughts alone
And in the middle of all the noise
Look around myself at the shining toys that
I don't need
I don't need
I don't really need

And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(But all I want is one true love)

In this world I can see
Many billions waiting in the sun
So I'd love to believe
There'd be one of us for everyone
One of us for everyone
Enough to go around
But that's not what I've found

And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(All I want is one true love)
All of my life I've just wanted to be
(All alone with one true love)
Every day and night to be on my own with
One true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love

The Scar

There is a scar that marks me now
that will not go away
It will be my constant reminder
of how I let you play
upon my heartstrings that were taut
tightly stretched upon my breast
plucked by fingers that I loved
that now are put to rest

But I will endure this marking
and I will endure the pain
For dreams can dwindle slowly
though the scar will ere remain
The slackened strings will not vibrate
They will become quite still
The even breathing will return
but the scar's the bitter pill

A Scar On My Heart

With every scar, behind it is a story
a scar on my heart, it speaks of heart ache
a true murder of my love, heart break.

scars heal-yes, but fade-they do not,
a reminder that will be with me,
that tells a story that pains for eternity.

i had gaven you my heart, a beautiful piece of me,
your decision...to puncture it, a deep hole i need to fill,
my tarnished heart-you gave back, inside hurting until.

The War Is On

The war is on, the battle is already won. With the words you speak cut right into me. Such a wicked little dagger. Now i shall draw with some blood. Paint a portrait, that describes the truth. Wrap it around your neck like knoose. Choking you from the insides. Building you up to tear your down. Drowning in mixed emotions. A bruised ego. Your too easy. There you go again making more assumptions with a flare. Can anyone taste the rumor in the air. Its only what you know. Not which way the wind blows. The affliction of your fiction does not leave a scar. It doesn't even come close to matching up to par. The secrets you keep will be released like a disease. Exposed, hey now where are your clothes? No more being shielded from it all. You shall stumble, trip and fall. Just one phone call. Everything stolen from right under your feet. Please don't make me. I would rather leave things be. I don't want to put anyone in agony. I take no pleasure in this. Just leave me alone or the war is on.

Another Hole In The Head

I'm through
Thinking of things to say to you
It's true
I've said enough and so have you
Just arrived
You slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
Your turn
You'd rather leave than live and learn
That's why
You want an end and so do I
This time
Only leave it all behind
Tongue tied from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
'Cause I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe that you would leave me for
I believe that you would leave me for dead, me for dead
I believe that you would leave me for dead, me for dead
I'm through
Thinking of things to say to you
It's true
I've said enough and so have you
Just arrived
You slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
'Cause I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe that you would leave me for dead, me for dead
I believe that you would leave
I believe that you would leave me for

Scar of Scars

Scar of Scars.
Around the cut, some are smooth.
Moist and true.
Bereft of moss or beard.
Pie faced and candy..ooh.
Every life savers.
Candy cake is brandy wine.
More, many more and edgy.
Leafy rims pink petaled.
Sharp razors, just more sweat and juicy.
Either way it's coming in,
Through the floor.
and your consciousness is expanded.
Red faced and over the clouds the moon
does look closely down,
and Scar of Scars, dropps drippy more milky.
There is only one cup from every one, some
have two and being with certain preference's.
