It is dark in this head of mine
a dark night with a moonless sky,
pitch black.

I need the light,
I need to soak up the energy it sheds upon me,
send me your thoughts, send me your dreams, send me your hopes,
it is these objects I am fascinated with.

I am your help,
your wall to support your heavy burdens,
I want your hurt, your pain, your stress,
I will take it from you and harbor in within myself,
as long as it is not within you.

Give me your doubt and I will make you confident,
Give me your shackles and I will make you free.

I don't want to die alone,
but without her I am afraid
It feels as if I will,
my soul fades
My heart has broken so many times,
love is an interesting game we play
We move slow when we are together,
feeling everything, every touch, every look
We move even slower when we are not,
filled with memories, written in pages like a book
We both write this story,
but there is so much left to be written
Words lay to paper,
every day, every hour, every minute
It is her I long for,
it is to her I write
So much love, so much passion,
not enough life.

Once told make good the promises of youth
I said **** that, let's see what this baby can do.
I read grasp by wing the empty sky
Said alright, now I'm flyin'.
Learned take to task the soil of earth
Worked my *** off, now I'm tired.
Overheard Sail by sea tho waves be high
Puked my guts out when I tried.
Preacher man said I should harvest the bounty of friendly ways
Uncle Sam taught me to shoot first and make friends when they are dead.
Poets say love requiting all your days
I've loved and learned a thing or two, then got left blue (can you blame 'em)
Philosophy 101 lesson learned Let age grace you with humility
Marlboro Red says that I'm the hottest cowboy in hell
Life's golden rule Grace this place with your tranquility
I've rocked and rolled my way all through.
One thing I've learned: life can be zen but zen is boring.
Zen's for old age, now's for roaring.

I still love you
but unfortunately
I lost my self
in the process
of loving you...

I do a handstand
so that my feet dangle in space
It feels as if I am holding on
like grasping the memory of you
The stars pull me outward
but I hold on

I do a handstand
head over heels for you
Love can not be explained
like the gravity of this world

It pulls me back to you
I let it
