My best songs were about you;
full of pure honesty and hopeless desperation.
They were written in minor keys
on lonesome days when I needed you most.
And I still sing your name in my sleep –
a lilted melody that cuts deep
and wakes me from a nightmare that doesn’t end
when my eyes open to the empty space you left in my bed.
With sleepless eyes I drive until the sunrise
and the radio is playing our song.
It makes my heart heavy and my hands numb
but I still scream along at the top of my lungs.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.
It seems the morality of the world has thinned,
and it's hard for me to differentiate
how to be good, and how to be great.
There's so much bad stuff swirling around,
and unfortunately, as I have found,
it's so easy to get swept up by society,
and so easy to be remiss in one's piety.
I long to be a better person.
I don't want to just worsen and worsen.
Can you help me be a saint?
Make me in your image, the way only an artist can paint.
I just need your guidance and your aid,
I need to have more confidence in the me that you made.
Because if I stare really hard right into a mirror,
There's a person I'm becoming, and frankly, I fear her.
Help me to be in the world and not of it.
Help me to embrace my true self and love it.
And in the face of the world's ignorant braying,
help me to just keep on loving and praying.

You're not worth my words
but I still hope you hear them
and I hope you feel them, too.
I still wear your sweater
with holes in the right sleeve;
I didn't think you'd leave
so soon.

I don't care what you know,
I care what you feel
and if everything in your head is real.

........................................................................................................................
lost in midnight madness
I can hear the clock
tick tock
A battle against the voice in my head
"Don't go there”
“But it’s time”
“You’ll be fine”
“Lose your mind”
A breakdown of a different kind
an insomniac with no reason
or rhyme
“You’ll be fine”
I’ll only sleep when the sun wakes up

The moon lost her glow
when autumn turned to winter
and winter turned to cold.

I remember when you looked at me;
your eyes weren't brown
but they weren't green.
We were in the In-Between.
I loved you, but
I didn't want you then;
I regret all my bad decisions.

C'est la vie
and I feel free,
but I don't feel alive.
The world spins
and I'm standing still,
but I don't want to try.

There's poetry in symmetry;
you're the other half of me.
There's something about chemistry;
chemicals running through our bodies.
We can't forget history;
the war between our hearts of two.
I can't think of anything
to keep myself away from you.

I don't care where we go.
I've finished my drink;
You're thinking about
what's underneath my clothes.
So take me home,
and you can stay in my bed
until the moon becomes the sun instead.
Please be gone in the morning.
