NEVER
NEVER
I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HUMANS
I NEVER COMPREHENDED THE BREED
I NEVER KNEW ONE TO BE SELFLESS
BUT SELFISH BECAUSE OF THEIR GREED.
I NEVER WAS TENDERLY TOUCHED
I NEVER CHERISHED, FELT
I NEVER KNEW THE TASTE OF LOVE
OR HOW IT LOOKED OR SMELT.
I NEVER HAD A HAND TO HOLD
OR SAW A HEART FELT SMILE
I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO FEEL SAFE
OR PASSED A SECURE AND SURE WHILE.
I NEVER FIT IN WITH ANY GROUP
BUT HUNG AT THE OUTSKIRTS OF FEAR
THEIR DAGGERED EYES WOULD PIERCE MY HEART
AND SAY "YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE."
I NEVER GOT TO LET DOWN MY GUARD
I NEVER GOT TO BE
THE PERSON THAT I AM DEEP INSIDE
THE PERSON THAT IS ME.
MY PARENTS MADE ME RUN AWAY
THEY DROVE ME FROM MY HOME
THEY TOLD MY FAMILY THAT I WAS DEAD
AND SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ALONE.
SO LIFE HAS BEEN A LONELY WALK
AND SMILES, THEY HAVE BEEN FEW
BUT CAME THE DAY YOU LOOKED MY WAY
AND I FOUND A FRIEND IN YOU.
AND NOW I SEE THAT I WAS WRONG
MISTAKEN WAS MY HEART
JUST WHEN I'D BROKEN DOWN MY WALLS
YOU TORE MY SOUL APART.
BUT THAT'S OKAY, I'VE HURT BEFORE
I KNOW THAT PAIN SO WELL
MISFIT AM I, BANNED FROM THE SKY
AND BARRED FROM THE GATES OF HELL.
A LONELY WANDERER, NEVER HOME
WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT CRY
A PART BUT NOT REALLY, OF THE HUMAN RACE
AND NEVER KNOWING WHY.

Shades and Shadows
Shades and Shadows
Shades and shadows
Overcast the great green ground
Of Earth and sky and sea
And people and tree
Their tingling fingers touching
Hearts with coldness only
Human hearts can feel
And only human souls
Can dismiss........
It spreads
This darkness too dark to see
Too dark to taste
Too dark to fight
Without a supernatural light
Shades and shadows
Looking down and
Looking out and looking
Upon
Like overseers keeping watch
On underlings and landlords......
Lording greedily over property
We feel them but we do not know what
We touch them but we recoil unaware
We see them but we do not recognize
The shades and shadows standing beside us
Hovering in the corners, hiding behind the doors
Walking inside our minds and haunting us
In our dreams
They have always been here
Long before us, long after us......
In ageless fields we cannot see
And do not want to visit
But there is something they do not know
And never will:
When this age is over
They will cease to exist
And we will be reborn.
