When you think, you do et out loud
Your shadow is so vague
That when light shines through you, no doubt
Your limpid aura reveals; you are everything but opaque

When you sing, your voice
Like whispers from a gallery
People echo silence like noise
While your flair remain boxed in a chandlery

Sometimes you get scared when you lose control
But their flaws dont reflect your soul
Their actions arent yours thats all
But you can be more than who you are
And thats what makes you individual

I don't wanna lose you
But i can never have you
So tell me what i gotta do
After all you put me through
That even someone new
Who's waiting in queue
Wouldnt be enough to
Fill in your shoe
Cause i know how much my love grew
That every color, every shade and hue
Turned brighter but now it's blue
On my paper i only drew
What i felt when my thoughts flew
When my sadness was overdue



Only i know what is true

You were my company
You were everything to me
My pain, my fear, my remedy
Before you, i was free

I let go of the little things
So to you i could cling
I: the arm; and you: the sling
After i, you cut the strings

I reckon that now, things wont hold like glue
That i better forget everything about you
Though you havent got a clue
I know you think about it too

Everynight i cry myself to sleep
I see you in my dreams
Cant help myself but fall
I feel ive been through it all

You **** out the best in me
You drain my energy
With every ounce of force
You take all what is yours

Then i wake up alone
I realize what is home
Home is not here
Home is whenever you are near

I couldve given you all i have
But it still wouldnt be enough
To me you are hell and ecstasy
I take whatever you can give to me

There was a bridge
Under the bridge was a tunnel
I was searching for a way through

There was this boy
A boy who was looking at me from afar
He was wondering

I heard something
Something like a twig was snapped
I was stunned

Inside the tunnel was dark, blank space
With such deafening silence
So it echoed the snap

I turned my back
I turned to see
What was behind

I never looked back
In hopes of finding that light
The light they say that I will find through this tunnel

I saw a lad
He was pale and shy
He pulled me out of the tunnel

I was surprised that I wasn't surprised
I trusted this lad
And then he asked

"What are you doing all alone?"
"I was looking for the light at the end of that tunnel."

"But there is no tunnel. Look, it is just an illusion others crafted to convince you that you are not where you are supposed to be and you are better off elsewhere."

While he was talking
I was looking into his eyes thinking
How incredible it was how much he knew about this facricated tunnel
I wondered where he had been all along
Then..

He whispered something into my ear
More often than not, people whisper secrets
But he whispered the truth

He told me, "There is no light at the end of the tunnel because the tunnel does not exist. Life is a forest as wild as it can be
where the light shines through the spaces between the leaves on the trees. You are free to wander because you are not anywhere you are supposed to be. You just have to be one thing.. and that one thing is to be.."

"To be me!"

He took of the blinders strapped onto my head
I've never seen so much in one place
The wise man..
The boy who snapped the twig..
And the lad who pulled me by the hand

Is now someone I call my best friend

Laurent, I want to thank you for
Breaking my heart before
'Cause now I know that love --
Is not being able to say 'you're mine'
But being able to say the perfect rhyme

The day you learned to play with my heart
Is the day I learned to play with words
Watch as I turn my pain into written art
While I watch your eyes run dry after the rain has poured
