He has a heart of gold
Kept locked away in an iron box,
Curious, I picked at the lock
He lift the lid and showed me,
He showed me what was inside
And my heart beat for his.

Just a few short months
That's all that's passed
But still I feel I've grown
Even if just the slightest bit
Sometimes all it takes
Is a new setting
New people
and new a place
My eyes have opened
I know how lucky I've been
My family loves me
And I love them
This is all that is really needed
But I have so much more
A home to go to
Friends to smile with
Some don't even have a smile
Some don't have a home
Or a family that loves them
Yet I am fortunate enough to have this
Why?

A dream told my you left me
But it was just a dream, right?
You wouldn't really leave
Would you?
Then again we haven't talked
It's been ages since the last time
But I still love you, do you not?
Please still be there,
I don't want to come home
To find you gone
Please, I can't lose you
Not now, not ever really

How can I possibly help
When I'm the one so lost?
How can I give advice
When I don't know what I'm doing?
But I give the help
That I wish I had,
I give the advice
That I truly need,
But do I listen to myself?
No--
These words need to come
From another's lips
Before I can hear it
Another must speak
These words of encouragement
That I say so often,
But when I look around
There is no one there,
No one to help me when I fall,
I am alone.

Songs of past generations play
Bringing smiles to faces
That know the tunes so well
Taking them back in time
Back to when they where the young
The ones that caused the trouble
And made the grown ups shake their heads
And question the future
Someday that will be me
Remembering my childhood
And teen years of glory
I hope to smile like that someday.

The hols in his shoes
His ruffled hair,
The way he's so jumpy
A sweatshirt never changing,
The ***** shirt
That also holds blood stains
From fights past,
Holes in the knees of his pants,
His foul language
The anger beneath the surface,
Scars dealt by others
All of this and more,
His kind eyes
The glowing smile
A warm hug
His ringing laugh
All of this and more
Is why I stay,
Stay with him here
All of this and so much more.

Embracing, I am glad to see you,
See you again after all this time
Knowing it will be long till again
We see each other,
Picking up where we left off
Like no time had elapsed
The way you smile,
It makes my heart sing
People might thing us a couple
The way we act together
But that doesn't bother us
Let them think what they want,
This friendship, this bond,
It's something special
And as little as our paths may cross
It is something I will always remember.

She turns around in her seat
To see him sitting quietly,
A low hum rests in the class
As students pretend to do their work,
She takes a breath to say something
And he glances up,
Shyness overwhelms her
And she turns back to her work
The boy says nothing
And goes back to his
The girl bites her lip
Nervous, unable to focus,
She turns abruptly and speaks
The boy looks up in shock
A smile tugs at the corner of his mouth
A new friendship has started,
She soon learns
The boy is bullied
For his worn cloths
Yet she does not mind this,
In the halls after school
The boy sits against his locker,
The girl approaches him
Noticing his black eye,
An outstretched hand
Was all he needed from her
To smile again
And she did just that,
Their friendship grew
And blossomed into love
But he had another detail
One she did not know yet,
At his mother's grave
He speaks to her
Explaining the subtle scars
Her eyes water in sadness,
How could a father
Be so cure to his own son?
To hit him repeatedly
Until his skin broke,
This had to stop
He had to be freed
From the horrors of home
But he won't let her,
He said his dad would **** him
If he saw any legal authorities
She bows her head
Wishing, praying for his safety
On a cold night a siren awakes her,
Sitting up in bed she watches
To see the way
The emergency response vehicle goes,
Her heart stops,
She knows the path it took all too well,
Climbing out her window
And grabbing her bike
She starts after it
Her eyes stinging from the night air
She arrives to see
It was his father's new girlfriend
Who had made the call
To put an end to things
But it was too late
She hadn't reached the phone in time
The girl runs inside,
Past the medics,
To see his body at rest
On the floor still bleeding
She falls beside him
And cries out his name,
If only he would answer
Everything would be alright,
Holding his hand tight
She whispers her apology to him,
Sorry she never did anything
Sorry she didn't save him,
The father thrown in jail
The boy buried six feet down,
The girl stands at his stone
Vowing her heart will never love another
She places a single rose
On the cool gray stone
And turns to walk back to the road
Her head hangs low, eyes fixed on the ground
She never saw the car that hit her
She never heard it
All she knew was it was over and done
And she was in his arms once again.

For no reason
No reason at all
I have grown numb
To the world around me
No will to get up
In the early morning light
No care for those around me
But why, why be this way?
Nothing has happened
I've lost no one
Life is just a gray fog
The reasons behind it
Remain a mystery
But maybe that is why,
Nothing has happened
I'm at a stand still
Is it time for change?

Her dove flies among the highest clouds
Soaring and cooing completely at peace,
She perches on a golden twig beside a long lost friend
Happy with her reunion she looks down
And finds a gathering of people dressed in black—
She glimpses the tear stained cheeks,
Understanding she flies down—unnoticed
And sings her last lullaby,
Although it may be hard to hear
Just absorb the silence around you and listen—
Feel the unheard notes of her lullaby,
Soon she flies back to her perch
And is welcomed back
She continues to sing her song,
You can hear it in your heart—
Look inside yourself
And feel the soft touch of a dove.
