Muriel Ruth Emerson

For they die
As quickly as they rise
For I only had you in my arms yesterday
Hold on to your dreams
...

This Christmas I am all alone
This Christmas I have no one to hold
This Christmas is the day I fade away
Last Christmas I was happy
...

What is a warrior
Is it someone who fights
Though fighting is not wise
Or is it someone who knows when to fight
...

Angel of my nightmare
Come down and stop this pain tonight
Stop the hurt that's deep inside
Stop the me that want to fight
...

Every time I see your picture
I don't feel a thing
I have no feelings towards you
Every time I hear your voice
...

I sit in this pitiful thing we call earth
Surrounded by doubts
Surrounded by the past
By fear
...

I make love to feel the release
I love to feel a man bracing my hips
Thrusting his manhood into me
Making me feel like a woman
...

Dear Loved one,
You are struggling
I see the pain behind your eyes
The pain you try to hide
...

I am the unknown warrior
The one no one sees
The one no one wants to see
No one thinks I am a warrior
...

Memories clear as day
Are ringing through my brain
How do I make them stop?
How do I make them go away?
...

I don't forgive
And I don't forget
So think before you say something
That you might regret
...

Somewhere in the woods
The willows weep in fear
They hear the cries around the world
And weep for their sorrow
...

A dark shadow stands in the darkness
I feel the cold breath of death
Shortly upon me
The room went gloomy
...

The night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak, cold and alone are we
The emotions for which you pine
Flares once then dies
Swept away by your obsession
...

What have you ruined?
A black cloud of pain as feelings disappear
Once we were together in heaven
Innocent and hand in hand,
...

This blade glides across my wrist
Back and forth
Back and forth
Blood spoiling onto the rough carpet beneath me
...

I look in the mirror
Wishing to see nothing at all
Hoping for the day someone will love me
Hoping for the day I care
...

Sometimes in order to live
We must be willing to die
In order to die you must be living in this world we created
No respect
...

I want to be someone else
I want to live another life
To forget the past
And move forward
...

Though we met in my dreams just yesterday;
Life is all about seizing the moment if we're crazy,
Your smile makes me laugh
Your skin looks like heaven
...
