Lonely is
As lonely can be
Where is the soul
Made just for me
Missing parts
And wasted years
Broken heart
River of tears
Trapped outside
Looking in
Jaded fears
Thin my skin
Stiff upper lip
Smile through the pain
Hiding in shadows
Left by the rain

Lonely is something
Unfortunately I know
Mocks my every step
No matter where I go
Although I am happy
In my own skin
There are many distractions
To mask the pain within
Where is the soul
That matches my own
Where is the woman
To soften this stone

Bye bye Miss American Pie
We wish we could save you
Or even knew how to try
The greatness of our country
Seems faded away
While Democrats and Republicans
Try to keep each other at bay
Have our days of glory slipped by us
Stashed away in our checkered past
Are we now the modern day Rome
With our downfall already cast
Only time will tell
If we can save her from this hell
Or if we are just along for the ride
Together or alone
Someone must cast the first stone
In attempt to turn the coming tide

I find myself
A broken man
With broken heart
And broken hands
A thunderous love
Just whispered away
What could have been
Now starting to fade
The words you spoke
Suddenly ring untrue
Those three words you said
I Love You

Words and their meanings
Seem duly parted
Where love is concerned
For the brokenhearted
Never mind the lines
The truth lies between
Though seldomly spoken
And rarely seen
Pain colors the world
In eerie ways
Makes me long for the palette
Of much happier days
I don't know if time will heal
My broken heart
The only thing I know
The end is the start

I reach out to you
But you push me away
Leaving me to wonder
What it is I should say
Is there one word or phrase
That could break down your walls
Or are my thoughts better left unsaid
Since your concern seems so small
We've spoke the words of love
Gave in to our desire
Then you pull away
But my heart is on fire

The sadness has killed the light
That once lived in your eyes
Resentment has taken hold
The hatred wells up inside
Trading shattered dreams
For a broken heart
Now the best laid plans
At the seams come apart
All the seeds that were sewn
Become stillbirth at best
Can there be no relief
Besides the illusion of death
Could I polish your heart
With the grace I have left
Please open your eyes
Before your light has set

Can you tell me now
Of the darkest color you know
Is it as black as the night
Or as murky as my soul
Is it as dark as the space
Where all your demons hide
Or as black as the box
That you keep your happiness inside
Is it darker still
Than any color that's seen
Or even darker than that
The color of a nightmarish dream
Into every darkness
There must peer a little light
I wish I could be that ray for you
And be perfect in your sight
I long to shine the light of love
In to the places you don't dare go
I want to split the darkness
So I can make you glow

What do I do
When I feel your love slipping away
Do I just let it go
With so much left to say
Do I fight for a love
I can't make you feel
Resign myself to sorrow
Return my heart to steel
Do I stay to the bitter end
Until all hope is gone
Or do I just lick my wounds
And try to soldier on
After all that was said
And promises were made
How can I live my life
In a world where your love fades

I've been a rescuer
All of my life
Give me the underdog
With an armload of strife
I take to the lost causes
And things unattended
I have a longing to help
When the world seems ended
Strays and mongrels
Hold kinship with me
Those who hide in the shadows
The ones unseen
Wanderers and lost souls
With holes for hearts
The ones who are lost
Right from the start
I AM YOU
