For Dean

Two hearts in the moonlight
Hands entwined and kisses wet and right
They live for each other and the romance of the night

The moon weeps with passion
She never saw a love so true
This is the love story that is me and you

Your touch so gentle, like nothing I've ever known
Our love so complex that it's simple
And it grows and grows

We dance on diamonds and ruby's
Because we our love is above those things
It's patient and celebratory
It sings, it sings

When I was sick and scared you dried my tears
Although it's only been months, I feel I've known you for years
Your arms like warm honey when you hold me
Your grasp sweet and pure
My emptiness couldn't be conquered
But your laugh wielded the magic sword

When anger strikes in a vicious flame
We always calm it down
We're always there to make the each other smile when one wants to frown

You hold the key to my heart
I once had it chained up inside
You freed my spirit
You kept me alive

I love you completely
You are the one always go to
You are an angel
Thank you for being you

Black Hat Girl

Look at you..
Watching me..
Circling hips and completely free

Sweat in my hair..
Blush in my chest..
Living with no regrets

Laugh like a goddess..
Smile like fire..
I can be everything you'll ever desire

Playing poker..
Winning bets..
Somebody should start cashing me checks

Boots heeled high..
Gypsy status..
Heart like the lost city of Atlantis

Powerful and confident
Tender to touch
I bet your curiosity has risen so much

Deeper Than You Know

They were best friends
They shared everything
Knew each other down to they heart's deepest dream
Who knew one fight could change everything

She felt alone
But her friend didn't care
Came up with some sorry excuse saying she was was never there
Both unaware deep down they knew being unfair
Guess that's how girls can be

She was so alone, had no one to call
She put all her marbles in one giant ball
Too late she'd forgotten it all
And forever she went to sleep

Her friend had too much pride to admit to herself that maybe if she were there her other half might not had died
But it hurt so much
And she cried and she cried
I guess that kind of sweet,
And she'll cry until the next time they meet
But they're not friends so admit defeat

From The Ashes

Waking up
Hello Starling
Don't give me that look
I'm no one's darling

Feels so good to roll in the tar
Get a little black on my wings
Yes, I'm turning dark
Goodbye childish things

Mmm, feels so good
Rub me all over
Venom courses in my bones
Vibrating, high when I'm sober

I want jump out of my skin
Scream, punch you, then let you in
Yeah baby, again and again

I'm the dragon of this castle
Princess at my worse
Conquer me, hah
If you can take my hurt

The Hardly Hollow Diamond

She'll talk and beg him for hours
But it just goes in one ear and out the other
When will they learn to discover, anything, but most importantly each other
She hates haunting reappearances of others,
The people he claims as brothers

Hide your head in shame Sally
You don't need any other lovers

They see her as beautiful, even under her make-up mask
That mask is filling her confidence up a little too fast,
Then, at last, It eats her head
To be silent is to be dead

But death would also be to say the things she hasn't said
Her fear of dying constantly complying with her fear to live
In limbo, unable to forgive pasts judgement and present enemies
Those who left her wounded with no apologies

She runs to the dark where she feels more at home
Moonlight kisses her wounds in the night in the fields alone
Stuffing stardust in her pocket
Wanting them to make her one of their own

Silence shaking her eyes and making up hallucinatory lies
Figures are moving in and she's in the pit of her soul
Wallowing in the dark that rots her insides
So many secrets she chooses which to share and which to hide
How can a girls so rare, so rebellious, so tainted that she's pure ever become so unsure?
If no one starts listening, we'll loose her for sure.

And to think I was going to give you my Stars.

I miss your satisfaction and amusement
I miss how you always made me feel right
I miss the rush and euphoria
I miss the sleepless nights

I miss the *** and the rock n' roll
I miss the illusion of love
I miss the smoke I used to blow
I'm missing you, my drug

I loved the endless ideas that would come streaming in
And never being home
I miss the secret hiding place
I miss the smell of rust with a paint thinner undertone

I miss the girl who started it all
I wonder how and where she is
We had only met a few weeks ago
But she showed me how that other half lives

I'm sorry I couldn't go through with it
My mother got me out
I know everyday I'm better off without you
A conclusion, that sometimes, I strongly doubt

The Lonely Mermaid's Song

Ahhhh ahha ahahaha*
*Love.
I sing of love.
Find me and make me whole.
Every man I've called upon, never makes it home.

Beneath the sea, I twirl and hum.
I lure men to the rocks, where I choose my lucky one.

I bathe in the sun, rocks warm my cold blooded fin.
Twirling my long, wavy hair.
I catch their eyes, all they can do is stare.
This is where I win.

They battle to see who will venture on,
Each thinking they are more worthy than the others.
My beauty so entrancing,
It can turn brothers against brothers.

There's only one I see who would be suitable enough for me,
I let out a delicate sigh, no chance his ears wont be free
The men look toward me and then at him,
I just show them my innocent grin.

They send the man over,
Ula, was his name.
He was the jewel to my sea,
And I did not know my life would never be the same.

We laughed and splashed,
Then dove deep underwater.
He caresses me tightly and plays with my hair
Forgetting about his fellow men and his need for air.

Now Ula stays with me, in the ocean deep.
I always talk with him, before I go to sleep.
