Jack.

Jack

Jack, poor Jack, got captured by the Others
On the bleachers, Desmond told him, "lift it up, brother."
Caught in a net with Kate, above the ground they did hover
Even though Kate chose Sawyer, Jack told her he loved her

Pushing buttons in the hatch, he's not a believer
Locked Ben in a room for being a deceiver
Gave Sawyer some meds to help with his fever
Went searching for the cockpit to retrieve the transceiver

"You don't have what it takes," his dad once said
Kate sowed up his wound with a needle and thread
Went to Australia to learn his father was dead
Saved Sarah from being cripple, and then they were wed

Survived a plane crash with no broken bones
Oceanic 815, he should have never had flown
The survivors hopes of rescue ultimately were blown
Jack's words of encouragement: "Live Together, Die Alone."

Dear YOU....

I started writing a letter today
Dear YOU, it began, dot.....dot....delay
I paused for a moment. What should I say?

I wrote more of my letter before
Words of affection, like water they poured
In vain these words were, for you closed that door
But they are how I feel, of this I am sure

I re-read my letter in a moment to spare
It told of my love, of how much I care
It brought tears to my eyes, for you're unaware
You'll never know. This letter, I won't share

I finished writing my letter today
I sealed it and sighed, then put it away
I cannot show you, no how and no way
My feelings for you, MY feelings they'll stay

A man.

A man
A man who had everything
but still wanted more
decieved by a demon
involved in spiritual war
A man disobeyed
bringing sin into life
cast out of perfection
along with his wife
Trust was broken
death introduced
how could everything be right
with evil on the loose?
Without God, a man committed sin
with his wife he conceived
a race just like him
A race that was unholy
A race that couldn't escape
that which was inevitable
their sin-produced fate
What could be done
with God and man apart?
What could God do
to show the love in his heart?
A man came from heaven
A man crucified
taking the sins of the world
Nailed to a cross and died
Just as a man did wrong
and deemed us sinners in God's sight
A man, killed, broken and betrayed
Sacrified, to make things right

You're so pretty.

Designed carefully, brilliantly
in a sea of dim faces, yours radiates beauty
you conceal insight in soft, brown eyes
Breathtaking, unjust words cannot emphasize or describe

Bad Haircut?

Blood flowing from the wound
I wipe the water from my eyes
the pain eats away ad consumes
after inhaling, I let out a sigh

Everyday I say I'm tired of these feelings
and everyday these feelings take hold
Constantly thinking life has no meaning
so everyday I want to let go

Tired eyes can't close at night
lying down I stare outside and wait
for the darkness to fade and disappear
bringing forth another day to hate

Wounds close up but never heal
scars inside, tattooed, remind me
relentless pain, all I ever feel
my torment defining my identity
