Not Who We Were

Today I still love....

Love is hardly enough,

When fighting in a day's lies,

Trying to prove self is more important,

Than admitting defeat, To whats in my head,

And there in your eyes.

We don't exist together, We are even less apart.

Now neither is the one, the other loved,

You still carry that piece of my heart.

You tell me you don't want it, and yet...

It's still there in your hand.

What is it that you want, That I haven't given,

Tell me please, it is growing late,

Don't dare trust in your fanasty of Fate....

For false is the dream, you can't remember,

And shooting stars die faster then embers.

She's Something Else

You'll always remember,
When you found her, holding a red balloon,
Or how she sings lullabies to the moon,
Because she's something else,
You'll always remember.

Catching Fireflies,
from the riverside, just after the sun goes down,
Coffee at Midnight,
from the gas station, on the old side of town,
Pool Hopping,
she said 'being a teenager calls for delinquency.'
The Clock Stopping.
she believed that living is measured by moments, & not by timing.
Things you'd never have done without her...

You'll always remember,
When you found her, that girl dancing in the rain,
Or how she allured you to stay,
Because she's something else,
You'll always remember.

Pillow Fights,
a mood lifter, she knew you'd win, but started for your sake.
Facing Heights,
a fear conquered, from a road trip you didn't plan to take.
The Diamond Ring,
which you pulled out and kneeled in the dirt, while she sat in,
A Rusty Swing,
which is where you meet her on a sunny day, back to where your story begins.
Things you'd have never done without her...

You'll always remember,
When you found her smile warmed your heart to see,
Or how she asked, 'Why'd you choose me?',
'Because your something else.'
Yes, You'll always remember..."

Waiting For The Sun

Burning to find an answer.....
The day I knew has passed,
Living in the dark,
The peaceful night will never,
It's not meant to last.

Igniting the theory of games...
Blackest before the dawn
By your candle's spark,
My view inflames.
Shadows quickly are withdrawn.

Leaping light confinds the demons...
As the sun is sure to rise,
I've been angel-marked,
There's the feeling thats been missin'
Ablazed in my morning skies.

The Pounding In My Head

Days blended together,
Like a veggie smoothie no one wants to drink.
--That's what I suffering through.
Like a morning fog that never seems to leave.
...Pull me back.

Focus slipping by,
Like a contact lense washed down the drain.
--Thats what I'm clinging to,
Like a psychiatrist telling a patient that he's sane.
...Pull me back.

Nightmares from Nether,
Like a picnic table & a vampire's desire.
--That's why my visions askew,
Like a new moon waiting for the sun to retire.
...Pull me back.

One wordless cry,
Like an echo off the mountain peaks.
--That's my mind's inner view,
Like a love we deny, yet still try to seek.
...Pull me back.

And please, pull me back soon.
