WITH YOU


Dark skies turn grey

The tunnel light gets bright

Grass is greener

Looking into your eyes


Dancing like no one watches

Singing like no one hears

Smiling like no one sees

When you are near


Faith is easy

Hope abounds

Love is here

With you in my life



NO ONE


Blurry eyes

Heavy heart

Always alone

I have no one


Crazy thoughts

Beating hearts

Still lonely

Is there anyone



IGNORED


Don't answer your phone

Don't reply to email

Don't text anymore

Just ignore me


Forget I exist

Pretend I never did

I never happened

Just ignore me


I still write

Send an email

I can't forget

Don't ignore me


Tell me why

Give me closure

Let me know

Don't ignore me


Say goodbye

I want to know why

That's just me

Just don't ignore me



MISSING


So confused

Why call now

After so long

And talk like yesterday


So hard to let go

Even harder now

It was like yesterday

I'm so confused


Let go

Hang on

Wait

Move on


I don't know

Just so confused

Missing you

Is all I do



EMPTY


Is there anything inside

Anything at all

Something

Only emptiness


Any emotion at all

Hope, love anything

Sadness, fear

Are you there


Nothing is all

Cold, frozen emptiness

Is all that's left

I'm empty



RINGING


I dial the phone

Ring ring ring

Will she answer


What to say

Ring ring ring

Hang up now before


Wait maybe it's ok

Ring ring ring

Just her voicemail


I miss her voice

Ring ring ring

Hello; what do I say



BLIND


There once was a guy

Who had eyes

He could see

But was blind


He met a girl

Great as the world

Eyes of blue

As deep as the oceans


Lost his mind

A letter he sent

Went crazy he did

Her voice was missed


Fear so great

Now feels regret

Was he right

Will she forgive


Maybe or not

Time will tell

Who really knows

What should have been



PAIN


Pain

Many kinds there are

Physical, mental, emotional

Some good

Some not


Pain

Let's you know

Alive you are

Especially the good

Even the bad


Embrace it fully

Feel the life

Find the good

Forget the bad



THUMP


My heart beats alone

To the only drum I know

Mine own


One rhythm it goes

Thump thump thump

Only one beat it knows


One day it stops

Cause it's all alone

No more beats it's gone



COLD


I've caught a cold

From the ice in my soul

Fire can't burn

Cause the ice is so cold


The fire died

When the walls closed in

No oxygen to breathe

Fire can't burn


Heart so cold

Dying for heat

Walls so tight

Fire doesn't burn


Soul cold as space

Dying for warmth

So cold it burns

Fire doesn't burn in outer space



I AM REAL


Yes I am

Different than most

A romantic deep inside

More a lover than a fighter


Give me a chance

Take a chance

Experience real romance

For I am real


Open the door

I'm knocking a lot

I see a crack

Let me in I am real


Romance lives

As does chivalry

Smile and accept

Live a fairy tale

Yes I am real



TIME


How much time

Starting over seems too long

One step back is ok


Moving fast is too much

When you're scared

Fear brings excitement

And old pain


Time heals all they say

Does it really I say

It never goes away

Just waits for time to come


How much time is enough

To quell the fear

No one knows

So just forget time

And go for it



WHERE


Are you my love

Is your smile

Do you look for me


Is your heart

Is mine

Do they beat as one


Are your hands

Do my hands go

Into yours they belong



ALONE AGAIN


Never to know

What might have been

Frightened of course

Why oh why

Do I try

To not be alone


My destiny my fate

Never to love

Only alone

Last of my line

Alone forever

Never to love never to live

Alone all over again



NEW FRIENDS


Fate introduced us

Strangers at first

Hope he's cool

Hope she's cool

Time passes friendship grows

Fate tantalizes but

Strangers no more

New friends have grown

Yeah he's cool

Yeah she's cool

Friends evermore



MISSING YOU


My ears ache

Your voice cures

My eyes burn

Your face soothes

My skin melts

Your touch heals

My heart breaks

Your smile mends

Missing you drives me crazy

Seeing you keeps me sane


LONELINESS


Almost gone always near

Bringer of pain

Rearing its head

Down I say stay away

Only another can force it away

Looming and lurking

Hiding in the shadows

Hold my hand

Keep loneliness far away



NOT SO FAR


How far is far

Today it's much closer

Whether by train or car

Far is now near here

With phones and computers

The next town is now next door

Roads get bigger and faster

Bringing the far near

Technologies bring near to you

So how far is far now



WHEN YOU SMILE


When you smile

I forget to breathe

When you look at me

My heart stops

When you touch me

I melt

When you kiss me

I fly high in the sky

When I see you

Joy fills me



BEAUTY


Voice of melodies

Eyes like stars

Body of a goddess

Beauty incarnate you are.



NAME


I saw your name today

Still feel the pain

Seven short years ago

You were taken away


Just like yesterday

I feel the pain

Why did you go

So far away


Yours is gone

Mine lives on

Less today

It'll never go away


Locked inside

The pain hides

Lost the key

Till I saw your name today



LOVE & PAIN


What is love

What is pain

One leads to another

Love hurts


Love is grand

So is pain

Tied together hand in hand

Pain hurts


Love needs pain

As pain needs love

An endless cycle

Of pain and love



REMEMBER


I remember your eyes

Always bright

Always smiling


I remember your lips

Always soft

Always kind


Only now you're gone

Miss you I do

We'll meet soon


Memories are left

Fading to fast

Remember I will



WEDDING


Some day she'll come

She'll be the one

Waited so long

All the others so wrong


A woman to wed

Best friend indeed

Life so right

Together all night


The day is nigh

Sun so high

Wedding is here

So blessed are we
