I wish I could explain the way, The Sunlight dances across your face, And erases all my pain, With its glow. And sometimes I'm jealous of the rain, And the grey skies that wash away, Every summer day I share with you, Within your soul. And even if I wake one day, To an empty bed where your head once laid. I won't regret a minute of the days I had, When I held you. I wish I could explain the way, The Sunlight falls below the sky somedays, Taking with it every single shade of blue. But even if my sky turns grey today. Every single part of me, Will smile at every drop of rain, For ever falling for you too... - B.K.S.

Jealous of the Rain

I wish I could explain the way, The Sunlight dances across your face, And erases all my pain, With its glow. And sometimes I'm jealous of the rain, And the grey skies that wash away, Every summer day I share with you, Within your soul. And even if I wake one day, To an empty bed where your head once laid. I won't regret a minute of the days I had, When I held you. I wish I could explain the way, The Sunlight falls below the sky somedays, Taking with it every single shade of blue. But even if my sky turns grey today. Every single part of me, Will smile at every drop of rain, For ever falling for you too... - B.K.S.

You walk alone, You carry on. Looking ahead, Forgetting it all. Your knees are week You struggle to stand. You fight to hold on, With trembling hands. Each step feels higher Each mile feels longer. You walk a little slower, As the days grow colder. You walked away from who you were. You turned away and watched it burn. You shed your skin and became a new man. But your heart always remembers who you were back then. - Brandon K. Stephenson

Ashes Of Your Past

You walk alone, You carry on. Looking ahead, Forgetting it all. Your knees are week You struggle to stand. You fight to hold on, With trembling hands. Each step feels higher Each mile feels longer. You walk a little slower, As the days grow colder. You walked away from who you were. You turned away and watched it burn. You shed your skin and became a new man. But your heart always remembers who you were back then. - Brandon K. Stephenson

Looking back I think about how, How we would be if we were together right now. We were young, we didn’t understand. We had something beautiful and let it slip through our hands. Now here we are living two different lives. In love with different people, Falling into different eyes. But even then, as each day goes by. Our hearts always remember. Our hearts remain tied. I know this hurts and it doesn’t seem fair. But there are other hearts involved now, Hearts that love us with all they have... Honest and without fear. I will always love you, But I found someone else. She has my love now, I have nothing left to give. - Brandon K. Stephenson

“Nothing Left To Give”

Looking back I think about how, How we would be if we were together right now. We were young, we didn’t understand. We had something beautiful and let it slip through our hands. Now here we are living two different lives. In love with different people, Falling into different eyes. But even then, as each day goes by. Our hearts always remember. Our hearts remain tied. I know this hurts and it doesn’t seem fair. But there are other hearts involved now, Hearts that love us with all they have... Honest and without fear. I will always love you, But I found someone else. She has my love now, I have nothing left to give. - Brandon K. Stephenson

Lying here, alone with my thoughts, I search through the chaos to make sense of it all. My chest grows tighter the farther I fall, Suffocating me slowly in a sea of my faults. I spiral downward with every regret, All the memories and pain I never could forget. Intense with shame and hate all the same, I closed my eyes only to wake in my bed. Alone with my thoughts, Alone once again... - B.K.S.

"Alone With My Thoughts"

Lying here, alone with my thoughts, I search through the chaos to make sense of it all. My chest grows tighter the farther I fall, Suffocating me slowly in a sea of my faults. I spiral downward with every regret, All the memories and pain I never could forget. Intense with shame and hate all the same, I closed my eyes only to wake in my bed. Alone with my thoughts, Alone once again... - B.K.S.

Well... Here's to the Hell, Here's to the struggles you were dealt, All pain you ever felt and every tear that ever fell. When you walk through fire, you grow a little stronger. And whenever you fall , You always rise standing taller. Life is a gift we take for granted as if it's borrowed. Learn from your past, Know your sorrow, Live each day with no promise of tomorrow.

"No Promise of Tomorrow "

Well... Here's to the Hell, Here's to the struggles you were dealt, All pain you ever felt and every tear that ever fell. When you walk through fire, you grow a little stronger. And whenever you fall , You always rise standing taller. Life is a gift we take for granted as if it's borrowed. Learn from your past, Know your sorrow, Live each day with no promise of tomorrow.

You've been asleep for awhile But when you wake I'll be gone Cause you used to make me smile But it faded long ago With every breath you take My heart breaks a little more All those nights I held you tight through the thunder of every storm I've bowed my head a thousand times asking why and begging please But I guess He just can't take us back to the way we used to be...

"A Speck Of Dust, The Memory Of Us"

You've been asleep for awhile But when you wake I'll be gone Cause you used to make me smile But it faded long ago With every breath you take My heart breaks a little more All those nights I held you tight through the thunder of every storm I've bowed my head a thousand times asking why and begging please But I guess He just can't take us back to the way we used to be...

...This time I won't let go, I'll hold on to you forever, long after we're old. You're all I need, My life’s favorite song Ahead in my head, You're always there. Beside me, smiling, without fear. Hand in hand, You opened your world to me, You accepted my flaws, You helped me believe. Because of this, I give you it all, All that I have within me that makes me, me at all With shaking hands, I hand to you a heart of stone A heart that will beat for you and you alone... With my heart in your hands I watched you hold it close. I can’t give you the stars, But I can make them brighter with you.. - Brandon K. Stephenson

"Ahead In My Head"

...This time I won't let go, I'll hold on to you forever, long after we're old. You're all I need, My life’s favorite song Ahead in my head, You're always there. Beside me, smiling, without fear. Hand in hand, You opened your world to me, You accepted my flaws, You helped me believe. Because of this, I give you it all, All that I have within me that makes me, me at all With shaking hands, I hand to you a heart of stone A heart that will beat for you and you alone...

Three tear drops, a lip stick heart and a cigarette burn signed love always. Every word of every line lit these memories into flames. "You were heartless so **** dishonest our love was the biggest mistake I ever made." And you fade away With the ink smeared on this page. It never crossed... my mind That I would ever hear you say, Goodbye... Ohh goodbye... Here I am on my knees Can't even cry, It's hard to breathe. I was so blind, I couldn’t see. I realize now, you're all I need. Goodbye... Oh goodbye... And we fade away With the ink smeared on this page. It never crossed... my mind That I would ever let you say, Goodbye... Ohh goodbye...

We search for wisdom and understanding throughout our daily lives. We watch as it all takes shape, Right in front of our eyes, But instead of learning, We let this knowledge pass us by. We let it go unnoticed, By pretending we are blind. Ignorance shadows us shading our sight It teaches us to look away, To avoiding mistake and lie, But by doing this we fail to realize, The reason ignorance exists and what it's designed to hide... By remaining blind to what you see, You are remaining blind to what is right. As our minds grow older. And our eyes grow colder. As our days become slower. And the pages of our lives fold over, Revealing our final chapter, Revealing our final hour. We begin remember what we pretended to forget. We remember and we begin to regret. Then just before our eyes close forever. We pass this knowledge down to one another. We give you the wisdom we chose to ignore With hope that you will see the image a little clearer, Than we did once before. So I only ask of you this final favor. Please take the message I left for you within the words of this letter. Use it to build a better future for all our loved ones here after. Learn to smile a little more. Learn to live your life with love and laughter. You only live once my son... Make it last forever. -Brandon K. Stephenson

I know Life is getting harder, The harder that we try. I know its getting to you. I see the worry in your eyes. I know I don't have much to show you, All I have are these words. I pray that somehow they help you focus, Even when it's all a blur. Trust that I am here for you. That I will always hear your cries. Know that I will fight for you no matter what the price. God brought our lives together, To walk through Life together. Our hearts beat the same, Our hearts bleed together. When the end seems never ending. When all your light seems to be dimming. Look into my eyes and breath In with me. Together we got this... Forever and Always You+Me - B.K.S.
