Asking for a lot
By: Shawn Petrie (2-22-2002)

There’s got to be someone in this world
Who need the things I need
Who feels the love i feel
And loves the things i love

There’s got to be a place for me
Where no pain or harm can reach
A place where i can be with you
A place you might just wish for too

There’s got to be someone in this world
That will never turn away
When i ask them will they always stay
\when the harshest parts of me are strong

There’s got to be a life for me
That is enough to satisfy
That’s enough to keep me smiling
For more that just a minute

There’s no way i will ever know
Unless i just get up and go
And search for the dreams i feel inside
There’s got to be a pay off for me

– An Ending – By: Shawn D. Petrie (11-11-2004)

An Ending By: Shawn Petrie (11-11-2004)

When I asked where you were going
You replied with one simple answer
You said that you’d be going away.

Forever

You turned away and closed your eyes
My blood ran cold with your next few words
You said you couldn’t stand another day.

Together

I helped you pack because i was strong
I’m not supposed to show the pain
We split up all the things we bought.

Together

And when you left i died inside
It was then that i began to cry
And i knew that i would be alone.

Forever

– A taste of life – By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-31-2006)

A taste of life
By: Shawn Petrie (10-31-2006)

As I sit here alone
Remembering what we had
That pain that wells inside of me
Is almost too much to bear

But i must sit with it
I must live with it
What else can i do
Suicide was not for me

The hardest part has passed
So i know that i am strong
Even though i do not want to be
And wish that i had terminated my self

There’s a bitter taste
Of what i used to have
What i thought i would never loose
What i trusted and depended on

The taste is making me sick
As i try to wash it out
It will never go away
And it gets more rancid every day

Of course it wasn’t perfect
But it was what we had
And it was always you and me
Then one day it was not

And ill never know what happened
What turned you once and for all
What thought you got in your head
Or who look at you with lust

Who looks better than me
Or you think can offer more
They will never love you like i do
And they will never take care of you like i did

I lost what i had
Or maybe it was taken
Or maybe it was never really there
But it was for sure a taste of life

– A shade of hope – By: Shawn D. Petrie (6-19-2004)

A shade of hope
By: Shawn D. Petrie (6-19-2004)

I rub my eyes, I need sleep
A dive into a peaceful dream
Without rejection, tears and pain
A perfect place in my brain
A world where people, truly care
And you can count on them to keep you near
Common is security, a safe tomorrow
No debt to pay, for the smiles I’ve borrowed

A shade of hope, I can see
It helps me cope, it helps me breath
It pulls me closer, to my dream
Pushes me when, I forget to believe
We all must want to make this real
Take actions on the things we feel
Rise above pain and hate
Never believe that it’s too late

But I’m still alone, who else cares
Who else dreams of that place out there
Who else wants this world of new
Who else wants to make it true
Light through my window is shining on me
Through my front door I awake to see
We have been given, one more chance
To create true harmony, the perfect dance

To make a change, to make it last
Move away from our painful past
Pull ourselves closer to a better day
Learn from what history has to say
I step into, this new day
I try to put those dreams away
And focus on what can be done
To create a life where we all have won

– A COMMON MAN – By: Shawn D. Petrie (3-23-1999)

A COMMON MAN
By: Shawn Petrie (3-23-1999)

TIME AND TIME AGAIN
YOU TOLD ME HOW YOU CARED
ONE DAY I WASN’T LOOKING
TURNED AROUND, YOU WEREN’T THERE

WITH ALL THE LOVE YOU HAD FOR ME
I NEVER MADE MINE KNOWN
AND THOUGH I’VE ALWAYS FELT THE SAME
MY HEART WAS NEVER SHOWN

AND SINCE MY PAIN IS GROWING STRONG
I REALIZE THE TRUTH
THAT I’VE NEVER FELT A LOVE SO STRONG
AND I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU

I WISH I KNEW THE ANSWER TO
THE ONLY QUESTION ON MY MIND
WHY FATHERS RAISE SONS OF SELFISH PRIDE
AND SEND THEM INTO THE WORLD BLIND

BUT STILL I TRY AS ALL MEN DO
TO MAKE UP FOR LOST YEARS
BUT THE SCALES NEVER SEEM TO BALANCE OUT
AND ITS THE TOUGH WHO CRY THE MOST TEARS

– Another Moment – By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-17-2006)

Another Moment
By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-17-2006)

So fragile and weak
Can’t rely on anger anymore
Any moment could be the one
From which I wont return

Up and down my emotions go
I miss you so damn much
Trying not to blame myself
But i see so many faults

I wanted to be perfect for you
For our hearts to heal together
You promised me your love
You promised me forever

But the things we said that day
Mean nothing in this emptiness
That i occupy alone
And it is so agonizing

I remember your face
And every single touch
And everything I hated
And everything i loved

– After My Innocence – By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-12-2000)

After My Innocence By: Shawn Petrie (10-12-2000)

Thoughts blow up
Like gunshots at night
I feel so alone
But put up no fight

Social life flushed
Because I can’t stand to go
And talk to new people
That I don’t even know

You can’t understand
You’re less than a man
Open up your heart
Care for once if you can

My friends have all fled
Because I’m always too sad
Like a plaster mold of a crying clown
I always feel bad

Frowning for a reason
I cannot let you know
But if you promise not to tell anyone
I’ll try to let it show

I am longing for you and I’m dying inside
You left me alone, left me to cry
I’ll never know how you really felt about me
I just wish I had the courage to give it one more try

– A path of destruction – By: Shawn D. Petrie (12-7-2006)

A path of destruction
By: Shawn D. Petrie (12-7-2006)

In the deepest darkest depths of my mind
I am waiting for you
Pull me upwards, towards the light
Show me that i can love again

With your touch you bring me back
Everthing is new
It’s like i have been born again
And soon i’ll fall for you

But this time i;m aware
That this may not last forever
Thats something i will just ignore
Or it will set us on a path of destruction

– Beautiful Loser – By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-22-2000)

Beautiful Loser
By: Shawn Petrie (10-22-2000)

Hold me back I’m running too fast
Towards a light which burns too bright
Towards an illusion I created myself
Within my mind, artificial perfection

Close the door the sight is too strong
The stare too long my approach all wrong
Conversation splinters the silence
Eye contact is stronger than we can admit

Advice ignored, share this warmth with me
Show me signs that I can read, recognize this need
Show me the proper path so I wont get lost
Realize and except that I know what I want

Held over my head, this strange power
Engraved in us all especially the small
And some go too far, I have been an example
I have proven the fear, I have done that before

Left alone in the crowded room
Im lonely tonight, elevated to a new height
Pick up an old wooden box, I try to compensate
Lye my head down and wait for a new day

Broken glass and shattered dreams
Not the first time, imperfect mind
Things just aren’t the same
There never was a path to follow

Showcase my emotions, cannot hide
I try to disguise, I try to lie
Nature holds the keys to who I am
With an enemy like that I can never get ahead

Wait a little longer, anticipate a time
Opportunity will come but nothing will be done
Look through me into another,
Have you found what you want?
Don’t worry about me ill be fine

Keep my eyes open, someone like me
Not someone perfect
But someone impure and also unsure
Of who they could be, just what they need
Personality flawed, socially subdued
2 beautiful losers find each other and conform

– Battle Heart – By: Shawn D. Petrie (3-22-01)

Battle Heart
By: Shawn Petrie (3-22-01)

Despair in the eyes of the angel
Hello, I am the one you need
To show, to lead, to push you forward
I am the one to slow the bleed

Fear in the heart of the enemy
Goodbye, you cry as you go
You run, you hide, you close the door
Never again are you willing to show

Pain in the souls of the children
Standing back, walls collide
The structure we built has began to wilt
And the arms are no longer open wide

Death on the lips of the world
The end, from the day it began
The planets in pain, this life is a game
Do we all do the best that we can?

I hear the cries as the war is lost
The souls torn apart and forgotten
I live this life from day to day
But my will to survive is now rotten

The expression on my face is lost
As I can no longer pay the cost
I know the rules, but who’s the boss
Into the fire my body I’ll toss
