Ashes to Ashes
[Editor's note: I love this one Mercy!]

Ashes of Fire
Ashes of Love
Ashes of Rain

A Spring
Running Spring
Fresh Water Spring
Clean and Pure

Flooded with ashes
Ashes sweep away the spring
It's filled, full of ashes
No water, just ashes

Consumed, Consumed.
There is no water
Only Ashes
Only Ashes, Ashes

Ashes of Fire
Ashes of Love
Ashes of Rain

Cry, Cry on Me
I'll give you My shoulder
You can cry on Me

Rest, rest in Me
Lay your head down
And I'll give you rest

Love, I'll Love you
No matter what you do
I promise, I'll love you

~Mercy Lewis

Hello
Time and Again
You come to say hello
Sometimes you stay
Sometimes you go

I see so often
Your face, your soul
I wonder,
'How many times will you say "Hello"?'

Will you stay now
Or will you go?
Do you ever stop saying hello?

You cause me to run
You cause me to hold on
I can never seem to let go
Because you said hello

Do you ever stop?
Do you ever leave?
Do you ever run?

No one else seems to hear
You say hello

On a Road
[Editor's note: this is the most poetic one, one I wouldn't be surprised to see published.]

I'm starting down
On a road
I don't know-
How long it will last
I don't know-
Where it will go

Day by day, step by step
Softly down this road, I'll bet
No one knows, no one cares,
The comfort and pain you find

I see, every day
The world go by
As I'm on this road-
Which never really ends
And it never really begins

~Mercy Lewis

Why Can't I Fly?
Sitting down
I'm looking outside
I watch the crowds go by
Wondering, 'why can't I fly?'

I wonder aimlessly
Looking around me
Everyone goes by
And tell me, why can't I fly?

I watch day to day
I see everyone
Life seems to go by
So tell me, why can't I fly?

Someone looks at me
And I run and hide
Then they pass me by
Not telling me, 'why can't I fly?'

~ Mercy Lewis

It's a Mystery
It's a mystery
No one understands
It's a mystery
That no one really cares

It's a mystery
When you watch crowds go by
It's a mystery
When you can't see outside

It's a mystery
When no one knows why
It's a mystery
And no one can know why

~Mercy Lewis

Anna
Anna, you're hurting me
I've seen you before
You've caused me pain

But yet I still let you stay
I still let you in
I still hold on

Anna, I don't know
Somehow, I need to let you go
You're part of my struggle

Will you ever say 'good bye'?
Or will I see you forever?
I don't want to

Anna, I don't know
What should I do
Should I continue?

~Mercy Lewis

Destruct
Life's not easy
It hurts
So what are you gonna do?

Some bear it
Some don't
So will you hit destruct?

I've tried it
It's no fun
Don't hit 'destruct'

If you do
Be prepared
It won't help anything

It won't
I promise you
It will only get worse

Good luck
Don't destruct
Instead, take it as a gift

It's okay
You can cry
But don't let it kill you

I've been there
I've hit 'destruct'
It's not worth it

I'll cry with you
I'll pray
Just promise you won't destruct

~Mercy Lewis

Pain

It lasts so long
At least this does

This wont end
I want it to
Everyday is a struggle

I want to be ok
Please Leave
Don't haunt me

What is wrong
I want a moment
One free of this

I fight alone
No one knows
How to fight with me

~Mercy Lewis

Missing You
I am sitting here tonight
Writing this
And I am missing you
I can't help it

I am still in love
I love you for who you are
I am sorry, I just fell this way
Please be not angry with me

You often are in my head
Though you do not know this
I love you
An I always will

~Mercy Lewis
