His touch, like a jolt of lightning
Made her sizzle, without the pain
His voice, a stormy reminder
Of a love, forever, in vain

A tremor, of which, there is no control
Wrestles my being, invading my soul
Carries me down, into the darkened abyss
How much longer, can I go on like this!
Looking for mercy, from the pain that’s inflicted
The horrors, and heartache, that have me restricted
No movement can ease, this demon inside me
Under my pillow, perhaps I can hide me
From dealing with this, again and again
And others who look, with obvious disdain
They know not what it is, I am truly feeling
Or how much destruction, I’ve been concealing
Am I never to find the answers I seek?
Or is it just that I’ve gotten much too weak?
Should I try to put this pain, and misery to rest?
And forget all this time, I am still quite oppressed

Someone please explain to me
About the Easter Bunny
I’ve never seen a rabbit lay eggs
I find that rather funny
Yet every year it happens
They’re colorful and bright
A basket full of Easter eggs
That used to be just white
I tried myself to make the eggs
As pretty as can be
But somehow all the colors
Wound up all over me!
So, I’ll leave it to the bunny
As he goes his merry way
And hope he stops at your front door
This blessed Easter day.
