A Ghost

A ghost

by: Alex Leslie

 

Welcome to my life, always filled with doubt

I see you with my eyes, do you hear me out

Where did she go? Where is she now?

No one seems to find me, even when I'm there

Why can't you see me? I'm standing right in front of you

Then I realize what just happened

Now I'm dead, and I'm a ghost

Goodbye...

Depression Talks

Depression Talks

by: Alex Leslie

 

When did it start, when will it stop?

Depression waits for me to drop.

Tears rolling down my face

Depression whispers at a perfect pace.

I close my eyes and try to turn away

But depression says "I'm here to stay".

You can see a fiery hell in my eyes

My mouth spits words as cold as ice.

Depression whispers once again

"You're not the sinner, you're the sin."

Music In My Head

Music In My Head

by: Alex Leslie

 

I hear the music,

Playing in my head.

A song about,

Something that was said.

It was said,

But not heard.

Then it was free,

Like a flying bird.

Guided through the hard times,

Confident I'll make it through.

I bet you I can turn it into rhymes.

Finally it's finished,

I go back to bed.

But as I lay down to sleep,

I hear the music in my head.

The Girl I Once Was

The Girl I Once Was

by: Alex Leslie

 

I look out the window,

As the seasons go by.

As I sit in my bedroom,

I think about my life.

 When will I learn?

What do I know?

Until I find her,

I want you to go.

Even with people near me,

I feel all alone.

I fear that I'll never,

Bring her home.

I guess I'll surrender,

Drowned by despair.

I'm ashamed that I lost her.

The girl I once was.

Falling into the Abyss

Falling into the Abyss

by: Alex Leslie

 

I'm slipping away

Each and every day

As I say my last goodbye

I turn away and cry

My body shakes with every ragged breath

I say I'll just lie down and rest

I have no time for a goodbye kiss

Now I'm falling into the abyss.

Some Moments

Some Moments

by: Alex Leslie

 

Some moments are short

Some moments are long

Some moments are perfect

Some moments are wrong

Some moments are happy

Some moments are sad

Some moments are good

Some moments are bad

Some moments make us cry

Some moments make us laugh

They are just some moments

But some moments are all we have 

Beautiful

 Beautiful

by: Alex Leslie

 

I see the sun through the rain

Like little drops of golden paint

I'm seeing rainbows in all their colors

Come inside but don't close the shutters

Let it fall... drip, drip, drip

Like a waterfall or a nice smooth drizzle

Take it in, look through the glass

Because beautiful things don't always last

So keep them while you can

One Bullet

One Bullet

by: Alex Leslie

 

One bullet takes him down

Another one he's on the ground

He has no strength

This is his last

He takes a sip

And drops the glass

One bullet takes him down

Another one he's on the ground.
