Question



Body my house
my horse my hound
what will I do
when you are fallen

Where will I sleep
How will I ride
What will I hunt

Where can I go
without my mount
all eager and quick
How will I know
in thicket ahead
is danger or treasure
when Body my good
bright dog is dead

How will it be
to lie in the sky
without roof or door
and wind for an eye

With cloud for shift
how will I hide?

If These Walls Could Talk


If these walls could talk,
you'd know my body is dead,
my mind has been taken over,
that's why I am so scared,
I can't control it,
anger is making me blind,
I've been left here on my own
chained to a hate of some kind.
If these walls could talk.

If these walls could talk,
you'd know about my fears,
about all those nights I screamed for help,
about all my fallen tears.
You'd know about the demons
haunting me at night,
you'd be able to help me
keep my fire alight,
if these walls could talk.

If these walls could talk
they would say that it's all right,
God sends His angels
to look over me at night.
They'd encourage me,
say though I am alone
it doesn't mean I‘m on my own.
He watches me, from above
and showers me with all His love,
if only these walls could talk.

'You Won't Crush My Dreams'

You can forget I live
Leave me sitting alone
Push me aside
Like I've been disowned

You can break my heart
Ignore that I'm here
Cause me more suffering
Your time one day nears

Leaving me alone
You play on my fears
Each hurtful word stings
Whispered, only I hear

I look out my window
The sun, it still shines
Birds are still singing
When I open the blinds

You can't take my heart
My love for you is real
I lived these moments
Those you can't steal

You can't take my will
Or silence my screams
These things are my choice
You won't crush my dreams

Just be there beside me
Keep holding my hand
Don't turn away
I need you to stand

I won't ask for much
Or get in your way
Just need you with me
Till my final day





isn't it good?
