Anew by Ms. Hansen

Tears down cheeks they trickle
Love and life are surely fickle
A friend today but not tomorrow
A piece is lost, I’m drenched in sorrow
But from that cloud, a rainbow found
strength and hope do me surround
A helping hand, a smiling face
the pain a hopeful heart replace
No longer closed in fear and pain
I’m free to share my heart again

Night Creatures by Molly Mahoney


Night Creatures
Green grass
Turning Brown
Blue skies
Turning black
Howling winds
Picking up
That is when they like to play
Scurry, scurry
Home you hurry
They are coming
Oh no, oh no
Picking victims
Not so choosy
Fresh blood
Is just like love
Scurry, scurry
Home, you hurry
They are coming
Oh no, oh no
Cannot you here them
Sly as a fox
Hunting you down
They are right behind you
Scurry, scurry
Home you hurry
They are coming
Oh no, oh no
You cannot run now
They trail you expertly
Grinning like mad men
They are not sorry
Scurry, scurry
Home, you hurry
They are here
Oh no, oh no

Time Bomb by Molly Mahoney


Tick
Tick
Tick
The clock
Clambering on
Sounds like a time bomb
About to explode
Tock
Tock
Tock
We look at each other
But what is left to say
We have argued, cried, and screamed
So nothing
Tick
Tock
Tick
We may sit like this
Forever
Praying for one more chance
That will never come
Tock
Tick
Tock
I guess our time is up
So I start to cry
You nod your head
We have been defeated
Tick
Tock
Our time is gone
Forever

I have been waiting
For the day
And time
When I can escape
This hell on earth
This place
No one can call home
This place where
Witches write their evil spells
And demons dwell
You cannot begin to imagine
What has come and gone
In this house
What bittersweet love
Has had its last testimony here
What lullaby song
Has screeched its raging tongue
For all children to hear
With glasses breaking
In the public hall
For all the guests to see
Where alcohol and anger mix
In one parent’s greed
I live in this place
Where everybody knows
What goes on
In these suffocating halls
And suffering rooms
Where someone is
Always crying
And
Where witches write their evil spells
And demons dwell

Rain by Molly Mahoney


Drizzle
Drizzle
Pitter pat
Sweet raindrops
Tap
Tap
Tap
I dance
I spin and twirl
While the rain
Come tumbling down
Splash
Splash
It falls harder
Mating down my hair
Tight curls unwound
Swish
Swish
Swish
I sweep through puddles
Dreaming of more raindrops
The high wind pulls and tugs
Whistling in my ears
Howel
Howel
I pull the soaking coat close
While the rain comes down
Drizzle
Drizzle
Pitter pat
I guess we say goodbye
But I hope to see you again
Sometime

"Cry"

It was five o’clock in the morning
Walkin’ down that street
All I could see was the stars and you

It was like a story
I had so often heard
So when you leaned towards me and kissed me
I wasn’t scared

It started out beautiful
Like every fairytale
From Cinderella to Snow White
I know you’d be there
To catch me when I fell

Oh and I fell
But you didn’t catch me that time no~
You let me slip through your arms
And I crashed into the ground

It was so beautiful
That it almost brought tears to my eyes
But I wouldn’t cry
Not in front of you
Never in front of you~

Do you ask yourself why?
Why did you let me go?
I’m coming back to you

I’ll never cry for you
‘Cause you not worth my tears~
I can’t cry for you
‘Cause you aren’t the one in my heart
I guess I just moved on



"Come Back Home"

Looking back at the night sky
As I run from you
I wonder where I went wrong
I remember those days so clearly

I remember lying in the grass
And looking at the clouds
I remember when we were children
You said one day that you’d marry me
What went wrong?

What happened then, please tell me
Why did you have to go?
You promised me first not those others
Will I ever see you again?
My soldier boy

Three years have gone by
I try so hard to just forget you
But I remember those days
Almost like yesterday
Please tell me why!

Why did you have to go?
I keeping asking myself this question
I’m down here on my knees now
My soldier boy~

So I’m standing here today
You don’t know how much I miss you~
I know I’ll always ask myself this question

Oh why, did you have to go?
‘Cause I know that if you didn’t you’d be with me
And now I cry to myself in this crowd
And the flag closes gently
My soldier boy

I have been waiting

For the day

And time

When I can escape

This hell on earth

This place

No one can call home

This place where

Witches write their evil spells

And demons dwell

You cannot begin to imagine

What has come and gone

In this house

What bittersweet love

Has had its last testimony here

What lullabye song

Has screeched its raging tongue

For all children to hear

With glasses breaking

In the public hall

For all the guests to see

Where alcohol and anger mix

In one parent’s greed

I live in this place

Where everybody knows

What goes on

In these suffocating halls

And suffering rooms

Where someone is

Always crying

And

Where witches write their evil spells

And demons dwell
