"Final Happiness"House full of happy people
Drinking and laughing
Including him
But he was different
He was alone
He had all the friends
He was so popular
Yet he had no one
He left the party smiling
He drove away waving
He turned the corner and cried
He simply didn’t care anymore
No thoughts came to mind
Except the ones of loneliness
He couldn’t take it anymore
The smile he had on his face
As he was covered with the white sheet
Was the happiest smile he’d ever worn---7-4-98---
"Fall Asleep"
It is hard to get to sleep
when there is too much quiet
but then I hear it
and there is a strange comfort
as well as pain in my heart
It is the whimpering
I am to hear every time he yells
she sits and cries
while he stands and screams
it is always the same
there is never a change
in the process of sleep

"True Hatred"
monster with evil eyes
piercing my calm world
forcing hate into my head
killing the me inside
shrinking the pride I had
misleading the path I led
is hate the only thing felt
is there anything left inside
inside the monster with evil eyes

"Saddest Day"
How do I show you that life is meaningful
How do I let you know that I care
You don’t believe me when I tell you
So how do I make you listen
You say you know how much I care
But you don’t seem to believe
You can’t take life to the extreme
No matter how you are tempted
If I tell you I care
And explain how I love you
Even if I am simply your angel
You mean so much to me
Yet none of this changes your mind
If I am not a reason for you to live
Then why am I still alive
Maybe it would be better if we were both gone
Maybe then life will be meaningful
After we are both gone
Maybe then you will care
Maybe then you will love again
Even if I am the only one that cares
That should be reason enough
I have a job to help all that come to me
If I can’t help you then I fail
There is no reason for me to go on
If I have failed even once
So if that is how it must end
Then this is the saddest day of my life

"Let Me Rest"
first i lay down
eyes shut tight
too much quiet
then it arrives
the yells and obscenities
the whimpering and crying
knees pulled against her
the pain in my heart
the tears joining hers
only then may i sleep
