I followed you down the snowy sidewalks Of these winding streets and unknowingly you led me here, to the crossroads of your heart and I looked around to see you'd disappeared Without a trace You' left me here lost in the arcs of your body, the cold of your dark eyes enough to freeze my heart in time. The mysteries of your mind throbbing within my arteries Firing up my life blood, Keeping me alive, love In this frozen eternity.

Freeze
After days of waiting near the remains after days of clinging on to hope, You start your walk alone, towards the great unknown You alone walk this terrain You walk through slowly, tirelessly Where there is no end in sight, But you know that a certain light will ignite the fire inside you It will keep you warm, You don't know it yet, but that is your mission That something that was extinguished when the whirlwind of disaster struck The spark that was dimmed, You will soon find it, Use it to rev up the engine of your heart, And ride among the clouds again.

The Crash
It never did. The minutes turn into hours, Hours in weeks, Weeks into months, But I still don't understand. A wise woman says, "Let go of wanting to know There are things in life that have no answers." But still I cannot be at peace. And maybe I was naive to think That deep down there was something Something unmovable, something unbreakable But instead, I found feathered flight and brittle bones.

It doesn't matter
A rainbow erupts in your little heart I was hangin' out with blue You were a little chummy with sunny orange Too bad red don't want to be friends with us no more A spectrum erupts in your little heart Did I miss out on a chance at the real thing Because I was distracted by the fog? The fog's turned to smog, And in this smog it's the clearest its ever been all along But just a glimpse of hope is all I ever needed To realize that everything is just a dream That here and now, and this and that All the specifics have turned Upside down and inside out and Become permanent spots in our vision.

You peered into the camera once, And you cried And I held you I should have realized then That all the love in the world Would not make the damnest difference

Camera
I cringe every time I hear this word It reminds me of how you could never let go of the past Clinging on to anything else Than the most important thing to me- the moment we were living in I was building memories then The ones that play over and over in my head now And you were trying to forget then I think you must be an expert in forgetting now I wonder if you think of us, nostalgia and all And it makes me cringe, all over again

Nostalgia
I made you laugh, I made you cry tears of happiness, I loved every part of your body, And though I doubted, I always came back. I fed you, cooked for you everyday I touched you tenderly when you needed it I kissed every part of your body I inspired you to achieve your best I walked with you Took care of you when you were sick I held you when you were scared I reassured you of your goodness I loved you, completely, unabashedly And did everything I could to show you just how much you meant to me I have no illusions about this thing Sometime people regret having not done enough, Or having done too much But I know I only did what my heart told me to do And I found that I have the capacity to love For that I have to thank you Its sad that your own heart cannot let you see how much of myself I have given to you But I am grateful that you handed it back to me That one day someone else might hold my heart in the right place.

No Illusions
From the sky it came crashing down, one sunny morning. Only in retrospect you think, How did you ride those clouds all this while? Smooth sailing, or light turbulence, You floated along unawareness You were invincible, But that sinking feeling In the bottomless pit of your stomach Only got deeper and deeper. Until that fateful day When all the emergency lights went on and the gas mask drops down to your lap. The seat beside you is empty now, Parachute missing Looks like someone got to it first Looks like he knew it was coming, And he saved himself first. A certain risk is always taken, unknowingly Didn't you, in essence, place all your bets in one go?

Remember He loved you deeply But he also hurt you deeply Remember That while you hurt He hurts too Remember That you must fight your own battle Not yours and his Remember That he began this descent Pulling you in This is not your fault, nor his Remember That there is no option And that he cannot love you anymore Remember That that is the hardest thing to accept And please keep your head up, Because you are still lovable
