i let him read my poetry
as he flipped through the pages,
i hoped
he wouldn't recognize
the ones i wrote about him

There will be days
Where I'll reach out to touch you
But will only touch a patch of grass

Love
so misunderstood
Think we can just have it
but it takes work
It take loyalty
so many of us are scared
we are learning as we go
we aren't thinking
we are just dreaming
about our happy ever after
we don't understand
we can't stand it
we act like we can
when i say i love you
i don't know what i mean
when i hear you say i love you
i think i know what you mean
but we all love differently

Happiness is where challenges await.
You turn to what you hate.
Like lambs becoming wolves for life,
Abandoning innocence to survive.
Things always change.
Is it strange, or is it fate?
Or perhaps you simply grew,
Seeing the world from hue to blue.

The way Bertha is described
She more woman
Than I could handle
You'll get more than
A Silent Echo
When you yodel
In that canyon.

i hide the feelings
all the sounds
even fear
i keep in all my tears
Wont say what's tearing me down
I'm loosing so much
even myself
