What are the chances?
A lifetime isn't forever but the passing of time so short and insignificant the world will never catch a glance at such beauty, at such beauty as yours. Until the darkening days from which you fall from the heavenly arches the place where we used to call home. Let us hope for an idea to unravel ourselves from the bindings of our own decay This time, we won't look back, This time, I won’t let you down I will find a way to outlive a lifetime. Tainted eyes Blinded by others judgement We can’t ever find ourselves. Lives and novels, Deaths and songs, The telling of our stories to the children. What is truth when all we are, Are fragments of pictures trapped together? You are my open heart A black page to which I write I love you. The world falls apart To the sound of burning, You arrive from above With such beauty you strike the earth Hold me close dear, For the ground is falling from beneath us.

Lifelines
Staring at all the reflections in your eyes Exploding in the darkness. I watch the dying stars passing by Hoping something special is Shining back at me. Silhouettes of giants falling As heavy as my heart Weighing down my conscience A reckless choice, spins through my head In wonder and awe, I'll see through young eyes, What was meant. Dragged out a million miles Out from where it feels most It's a long journey back, When the line that follows My heart has been cut short.

Lines
Do you know where I am? I'm holding on for dear life And I can't see a way out. Your storms of sorrow Block out all hours of daylight You stand alone The world holding you down I gasp for air trying to save you But I'm losing the strength To pull you free My touch glances' your cheek Yet you can't feel my love So close to your warmth The cold bites my finger tips I'm losing a battle To win you from all obscurity We're lost in here together, Between two continents Sailing oceans far from home Stars that used to guide you to safety Now fail in the dim light. I can't find a way To get to you To see this through I've lost my faith Drowning in your distress Trapped within this shipwreck

Anchor
Tied down to my mistakes A worn path never re-grows it seeds My emotions like wild flowers Skirt along the edge in light Gently swaying in summer breeze I watch the clouds pass by A moment captured, then released I run, across green green grass Down different roads past carvings on tress Mend broken bridges That led us to golden beaches and start again. But your eyes hold me to this path Your heart guides me through this pain And I can only follow the trail Of your memories for so long And time will let me stumble on my own To find a clearer path to travel, To find a life without you.

Countryside
Here, in a field of light I shall lie alone. And if you ever need me If you ever lose your way You can always find me In this ocean of time, Where your dreams And realities collide. You stand in a place Where time never stops The past is forever moving And you try to remember But the image is too vague Washed over by the tides Of your ever expanding sea And I have all the memories Reflecting in my eyes Playing over, and over Over, and over and they will never cease. It's in those lines that lies the truth A promise I can not make. And as time continues to unfold I will fade from your memories Travelling short of the pace You will leave me behind.

Time
I'm trapped with all the others In a vast dying meadow We'll sway together Unable to stop ourselves From wilting in darkness. The chill in the air Helps me stay calm In the company of wolves I feel no warmth Only the delicate touch Of something I've felt before. I find comfort in The traitors who hold my heart, No-one else to hear my cries Amongst the wolves I'm all alone. Fake words and meanings Lies that please my feelings. I'll trust and obey With everything I have Just to be accepted, just to have Someone.

Instinct
I am regret, The sentiment exposed through your bare eyes. Raw and passionate it resonates throughout the air around us, Expanding its ever indistinct presence gently upon your shoulders. Where you feel, I feel. What you see, I see. And we fall into depths Thousands of thoughts profound Subtleties turmoil constant Sharp movement’s progress Further and further Intensity grows Like the weight of regret

Regret
We ran from forest to cliff edge From cities through fields To where we stood now breathless. Your eyes caught mine, such sorrow I saw beneath the reflections The moonlight cast the tree’s its shadows Drifting with the wind intertwined. We followed the light of the east coast harbour And sought salvation in the stars Can it ever be ours? The choices and decisions? Are we all but just who we are Made from the opinions and thoughts of Everyone who surrounds us? Our friends are all we are worth Worth nothing without them And I knew you needed this To escape from what you had built To get away from all that you knew. And its only pride that has got you this far alone But it can’t stay like this forever We all fall to our knees In search of something greater We all lose sight of where we’re going. You left the world behind and I followed In the search for who we were We found each other’s hands in the darkest of lands And we travelled back towards our friends To the place where our eyes and hearts called home

Placement
Out of sync with time falling backwards Pieces of me fragment towards home. Time effortlessly cascades over existence Like water over small pebble stones, On shallow banks of lost hope. Shards of dignity escape me Breaking apart my very essence. I wait silently in sleepless grandeur Re-living moments of memory The sun in all its warmth and glory Basks upon your perfection, Yet it's nothing more than recollection Jaded time worn frames of thought Instinctively played by design. I look to sepia polaroid's of dying hope A realisation of futility Sparks the world to collapse in on itself My heart, a beautiful glass construct lies at centre, Memories, emotion, time merge into one Compressing all that remains into a single shining pearl A light so intense it burns endlessly In hopeless desire to find you again.
