Activities of Sam Betts

I lay in this bed and I haven't got long, but before I go I need to be strong.
I've got to speak with the boy when he gets here today it's not gonna be easy but here's what I'll say.

I'm not leaving you son I'm not going away, I'll be right by your side I'll be here night and day, so where ever you look just pause to think your old grandpa's right here with his smile and his wink.

II knew you before I met you.
You're in my mind not in a place, you have no form you have no face, you drift around with feminine grace, I knew you before I met you.

Oh I knew I knew, one day it would all come true, I knew I knew, I knew you before I met you.
...

Why can we not achieve blissful sleep, are all the thuds and screams etched so deep.
When we both hugged close in those times so wild are we forever entombed in the mind of a child.

That proud little boy
With his lovely hair and beautiful face he finally launched my days of grace.
I didn't know what was missing till he arrived feelings long lost he revived.
I love to see him every day his innocent intelligence aches my heart away.
...

You've gone again without me to your special place, the pupils of your eyes too large for your face,
You float off alone attached by a tether,
take me with you please we can enjoy this together.
Do I need the violet bruises to get that look upon my face, would we be there together in your special place.

A boy in a leather coat.
He had a long leather trench coat when first I did see the man who would forever be closest to me
He danced with a style that envied me till I stepped out of the side lines and I wonder still?
We next met again in a room on the med, the boy I did envy was next to my bed.
...

The monster
You're a monster that no one can see just myself and those closest to me.
How I adored you and I knew you could see but your lack of empathy made you oblivious to me.
The best part of me just dribbled what kind of monster to a child would that say.
...

At first your look a monster I thought not green and rotten but white and taught.
Why did you look this way your vacant eyes took mine and then did stay.
A soulless stare did you possess I thought this my final sight I would witness.
I gaze down your lengthened arms up to this face I have no fear has I leave this place.

On a hillside in France I heard my heart beat amidst smoke and fire they sounded retreat
My comrades ran past with out even a glance then the enemy approached that hillside in France
I stood and faced them I felt so calm I held no weapon I meant them no harm
To try to resist I wouldn't stand a chance

Dwight J's Time to sleep.
No shame right now it will never come no one will ever know all I have done
Every deed I ever did or mistake I did make
My mind has held a copy that proves I am a fake
