He Wiped Your Scars Away
Once upon a time, I was a happy little girl
And the way I lived was seeing joy in all the world
Then one day I realized that there were bad things too
It happened long ago and it happened because of you

You took me by the hand and you told me I was pretty
I should never have trusted you when you gave me no pity
You used me as your plaything for your own twisted desires
The way I see the world now is just a sphere hosting liars

I used to never cry at night and fall asleep in tears
I didn't flinch at all mens' voices because of old fears
You took the smiles that I gave to everyone I trusted
Replacing them with twisted sneers- my face feels like it's rusted.

I look into my mirror now and see the woman's pain
I'm only seventeen, but I'll never be a child again
You might have ruined me forever if God had not intervened
And sent me an angel to polish my tarnished heart to a bright sheen

Beyond the pain I see a strength I've never seen before
You made me into someone that I hated and abhorred
Now that scarred and broken girl is resting peacefully
She has been healed and repaired and transformed into me

My guardian angel protects me now from memories of fear
He stands watch over all my dreams, his strength is always here
His influence over my outlook gives my healed heart wings
My Battlefield Justice giver has made me a new thing.











Dangerous Seas
Siren calling
Sailor falling
A helpless man surrenders
Drawn towards pretty embers
Strumming
Thrumming
Fingers nimble across harp
Ships wrecked, rocks sharp
Treachery and deceit
Wrecking mighty fleet
Lone survivors beg
Reaching towards legs
Hoping to acquire aid
Killed by malicious maid
Shredding
Threading
His teeth onto a chain
Start all over once again
Sailor falling
Siren calling.






Just Not Here
Tonight I'm sitting at a computer screen
Watching you smile on a webcam
It seems just yesterday you said goodbye to me
Now it's just another day alone with my grief
This is my life when you're gone, love
I'm so tired of saying goodbye to you

And I hate that tonight
My pillow is wet with tears
And I'm sleeping in the shirt
That you left over here
I'm cuddling with the bear
That you gave me last year
And no matter what I do
You're just not here

She's standing at a graveside stone
Watching her grandpa through the tears
It seems just last week he taught her to drive a boat
And now he's gone forever
Her grandma is going to be alone
She knows death came too soon
Looks up at the sky, his star always shone
But that star has exploded tonight

I hate that tonight
My pillow is wet with tears
And I'm holding the shirt
That you left for me here
I'm hugging the old bear
You gave me for my first year
And no matter what they say
You are just not here

He's running down a beaten dirt road
And I'm staring with love and bliss
We waited so long for that
Now miles cut me off from your kiss

And I hate that each night
My pillow is wet with tears
And I sleep in that shirt
It still smells like you, dear
I'm hugging tight the bear
You told me could hear
And I tell it that I love you
Cause you're just not here.
