THE MONSTER UNDER MY BED
underneath my bed somewhere, hiding in the dark
I know a creature lies in wait though I hear no growl or bark
it has no sharpened teeth, it has no wooly hair
there are no red eyes glowing, though believe me I am scared
softly spoken whispers, screams roaring in my ear
though a fire is blazing, I lie trembling with fear
the sweat has dowsed my body, my teeth I grind away
the hammer of my heartbeat continues every day
for years and year I've pushed, fighting with the pain
but yet I seem to keep it, it's quite simple to explain
although they're filled with torture, the memories must last
because, to tell the truth, I can't forget my past
so I shall sally forth, living in days gone by;
the fear and pain shall haunt me, until the day I die
PARADOX
subtle words are spoken, the moistening of lips
kisses in the moonlight, my heart begins to rip
the oars begin to row, the boat begins to glide
love begins to burn, but fear rages deep inside
my heart has been torn, so many times before
it makes me think that I, should fall in love no more
yet once again you'll see me, dangling from a rope
I can't give up on love; without love there is no hope
