Back on the plane
Being rocked to sleep
One year old twins screaming
Causes a mother to weep

So many sounds
Taking off, touching down
People are sleeping
Snoring abound

Sneezing and coughing
A symphony in the sky
I try to remember
Why it is that I fly

I feel like a robot
Flying again
All alone
Never a friend

There's no place like home
Or so it's been said
I do love to travel
But I long for my bed

I think it’s time to re-evaluate my life
No more drugs and *****
No more cutting with a knife

I keep looking for love
For the bright shinny ring
Have I sold my soul?
Disobeyed my King?

Disappointment has been the shadow
That follows me like a dove
I try too hard
Looking for love

It’s time to move on
And do what is right
Stop trying to chase
My fantasy white knight

I shall do the right thing
Put my faith in the Lord
Live a good life
In his footsteps I’ll walk

I’ll live in gratitude
A loving attitude
If Love is to be
He will bring it to me

I can stop looking…. and start living again

Turn back the time
Change the channel
Erase the old tape
Move to Montana

Am I afraid of my past?
Or afraid of my future
What am I running from?
Please insert the sutures

When will I be whole again?
I lost my only friend
The bottle is empty
Here we go again

One day at a time
Doesn’t seem to go very fast
Every day is pain
I don’t think I will last

What ever happened to true romance?
Wining and dining, a kiss on the cheek
The dating game, the courtship dance

Those days are gone
At least for me
My dates are like chameleons
Colors change as need be

I still believe in love
Someone else out there must too
I just haven’t found him
Could he be you?

They don’t want what they say
They don’t say want they want
They play their games
They’re dating savants

I’m looking for love, could I be the only one?
Butterflies and goosebumps
And thousands of hugs

If true love exists, please let me know
I’m running out of faith
Should I just let the dream go?

I’m not good enough for you?
Was being honest a mistake?
I put myself out there again
And you cancelled our date

Who wants an addict?
I’ve been in recovery for years
The word itself scares humans
It brings me to tears

They will never get it
Nor give me a chance
You said you really liked me
But never made it to the dance

Why are you better than me?
No skeletons in your closet?
Can you throw the first stone?
Can you be that honest?

Do I give up on love?
Do I lie about my past?
I’ll just pick up a drink
That’s the part I was cast

Things too terrifying to remember
Yet too real to forget
Will the memories ever fade?
Will I always live with regret?

Ghosts surround me
Wherever I turn
They laugh and they haunt me
I feel the fire, the burn

I close my eyes
Try to shut down my head
They never leave me alone
They taunt me in bed

I drink from the bottle
The red liquid my only friend
The ghosts fade away
Or am I just dead
