Shadows

What can be seen through blinding, unending tears but the blur of motion and shadows?
How would the world have ever been beautiful?
What can be heard over the cries and sobs of those who share your pain?
What can relieve us but the lack of oxygen from such rapid breathing that lulls us into a sleep unshaken by anything but nightmares?
Who can wake us from such terrors, pull us from the dark?
Who can stop the cries, who can stop the fear?
Who can save us from such endless misery?
Who can recover the fragments of our minds?
Who can rescue our hearts?
Is it you?
Or are you just another shadow in the light

Someone

Someone to love, someone to hold,
someone to support me in acts that are bold.
Someone to love me, someone to care,
someone who i know is open to share.
Someone who's happy, achieving their goals,
someone who looks for a meeting of souls.
Someone who warms me when I'm feeling cold,
A strongest of loves even when we are old.

Thrive

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I guess I wasn't right for you.
But while lemons are sour,
Candy is sweet
and there's somebody out there I just have to meet.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I guess I wasn't right for you.
But while my heart is beating,
While the world is alive,
and while people need helping, My love with thrive.

Flowers

I wanna be given flowers
I wanna be asked to dance
I wanna sway beneath the moonlight
Give this love another chance
I wanna fold into your arms again
Touch you lips to mine
I wanna be in your embrace my sweet
I miss you more with time

Bone from Bone

Another summer alone,
Another lover is gone,
Another challenge I face
but I'm such a disgrace.
Another sad bit
and a corner to sit,
Another pained day
where I don't care to say.
Another cold floor,
Another closed door,
I'm hurt and I'm sore
and there seems nothing more.
No crack of light,
just fear, just fright,
just loss, just pain
over, over again.
For with no more love,
not from you nor above,
My summer's alone
and I'm torn bone from bone.

Sway

You're begging me back and I'm starting to sway,
Say you see your mistakes more every day.
Promised to change and promised it's true,
Promised to show me a better you.
How do I trust feelings unsure
when it comes to my heart, when I'm facing the floor
And how can I trust that your feelings won't sway,
that you won't just forget to love me some day.
I cannot decide, I cannot be sure
Are you able of change, do I open that door

Drown

How do I stifle this feeling, this warning of danger foreboding
How can I ignore this guidance, this obvious warning of drowning.
How do I pretend not to know what the world is giving to me
That something great is coming, and it's something I don't want to see.
It will overwhelm me with feelings, the kind that I try to avoid
And struggling, choking, drowning, all my strength will have seemed to've deployed.
Once again I'm alone and I'm drowning, in uncertainty, in pain and in fear
But with each night the dawn is approaching and I remember the light is quite near..

Silence

This silence, it is eerie, it's messing with my head
If only you would talk to me you'd put my fears to bed
But as long as it is silent, I'll always have my doubts
And doubts are what is killing me with tears and fears and pouts.
Do you truely love me, or do you truely not
I want to know what's in your head, to see your every thought
I wish to understand you, to avoid foolish mistakes
To see when I've annoyed you, and not put us at stake
I do my dear, I love you, They're words I need not say
But I share them with you anyway to keep my heart at bay

My Own

I'm alone in a castle of my own mind.
Of my own pain.
Of my own despair.
I'm in a castle of my own creation, and all I want to do is leave.
I want to taste the clean fresh air of the outdoors, swim the rivers that start high in the mountains, and feel the earth between my toes.
But I am stuck in a castle of my own mind, of my own pain, and of my own despair.
I'm locked in a castle, alone.
A place that perhaps once held great things and housed great people, is once again beginning to crumble.
Fraying at the edges.
But to stop a dress from fraying, you burn the edges, and what good would that do for this castle of cold stone.
I would still be alone. Even if the walls ceased to crumble.
And what good is a castle when you're alone?

.

I feel I'm alone in this pit of despair

Darkness

There is darkness within every heart, and Every heart is capable of creating pain.

Yours

These are the words that I'm too scared to say

These are the feelings that fill in my days

These are the times that I cherish and keep

And these are the love notes that get me to sleep.

Yours are the eyes that can see the true me

Yours are the words that can help set me free

Yours is the love that can make my heart warm

And yours is the love that stops my world being torn

Alive

"At the core I'm a nervous person,

But you make me feel at Ease"

"And I'm a fairly depressive person,

But you make me feel Alive"

♥

Mislead

Love is a harsh word. Use it wrong and you're hurting the life of another.
Is that fair? Is it fair that we are foolish.
Do we really 'love' our friends, or do we only Love our partner.
Can we actually 'love' a band, a song, a sport.
Does anyone understand what love actually is anymore
or are we all mislead

Core

I am your Dreams

I am you Fears

I am your Nightmares

I am the core of your hatred

And your best friend

Closed Eyes

Shut your eyes to all around,
Close your ears and hear no sound,
Be alone and out of sight
to lull the pain and ease the fight

All my life

If all my life's in trust to you,
Would you still tear my heart in two?
If your heart aligns with mine,
Will it stay this way in time?
If I should place my hand in yours,
Would I come out with bumps and sores?
If I lay my head on your chest,
Will all my fears be put to rest?
If I should give you all my heart,
Please do not tear it all apart.

Warm

The only warmth I feel is that of the tears on my cheeks. The only happiness I feel is that of others. All I really want is the safety of a strong embrace. To be in the arms of another and feel at home.

Lavender

Did you ever close your eyes to feel the ground beneath your feet,
or stop listening to the freeway just to gaze upon the stars?
Have you ever known what it is to stop feeling
or to taste the rising sun?
Did you ever pass the roses to find the lavender instead
because in all of its simplicity, it smells just as sweet.

Empty Page

An empty page, a solemn cry,
A lack of words when tears run dry.
When all is lost and none is good
What light could not, the darkness could.
Candles flicker lusty light
that makes us love the black of night.
A loss of self, a dusty tomb
a grave we dig for ones own doom.
For who are we? Why are we here?
With lack of purpose, growing fear
Why are we here, what can we do
When all our hearts are torn in two.
An empty page, a solemn cry,
Do we live of should we die

Remember

If something else was on, would you forget
If you had to get up early, would you forget
If you had to work late, would you forget
If you had plans to meet your friends would you forget
If you were halfway across the world, would you forget
If you couldn’t actually see me, would you forget
If you had nothing, nothing at all other, Would you forget
I wouldn’t.
Please remember me..

Leon's Homework. That I did for him.

The darkness, it succumbs me, it’s screaming out my name
It’s drawing me towards it, to the centre of the maze
It wraps its arms around me and takes away my pain
All the misery and loneliness that haunts me in the days
The sting of burning daylight, it shows up all the flaws
It shows the failures and mishaps, all the cuts and all the scars
It’s light that, upon us, forces foolish rules and laws
But the darkness brings us freedom, like a lack of walls and bars
The dark is not an enemy, but an escape from being wrong
You see only what’s within you, what is not seen with your eyes
And all that stood before you does no longer seem so strong
You hear only words of truth and are never fooled by lies
The darkness falls upon us with the sunset of each night
It oozes from each crevice and returns each wrong to right.

No Words

There's no words for this feeling This lulling deep inside
Theres no way to convey this, but its something I can't hide
I feel as if I'm flying, my heart is on a high
My face reveals the way I feel, There's love in every sigh
I love the way this feels now, the calming of my nerves
Like every thing that comes my way is just a minor curve
There is only one for me who makes me feel this way
I wish that I could be with him at night and in the day
Theres no words for this feeling, this caring, calming love
but it's surely from the heavens, he's my gift from above

Times of doubt

He'll kiss my hand, he'll hold me tight, he'll keep me safe and warm,
He'll love me for a lifetime and he'll help me through the storms.
He'll have to know me inside out, he'll have to see my soul
to help me in the biggest way and fill the throbbing hole.
He will be so very handsome, from the inside shining out
he'll be there to stand up for me when I'm in times of doubt.
I don't know when I'll find him, or if he will be mine,
but love with him could surely last the strongest test of time.
