I may be insane
Or maybe im just in pain
But I will not strain
To be contained

Your actions will not stain
My choice to stay
In a world in vain
Day by day.

You sting like a bee
You're the cut on my knee
But I still have that need
To be trapped, and not freed

I have a need to wrap you up in my arms
A need to hold you in the dark
A wish to still feel your warmth
And the power to stay during the darkest storms

Even though it sometimes hurts
I will love you till we're as old as dirt.

So tired of begging
And pleading
For your precious time

Just a simple conversation
Would ease
My worried mind

But here I sit
Alone
Once more

And even though
You are near
Our souls could not
Be farther apart

Words seem insincere

I know it may be difficult
Or impossible
To understand

But if you felt
The pain in my heart
You would know
Without a doubt

Control is not
What I seek

I only need your hand.

- Brandi R Lowry

You may be stubborn
You may be sweet
You may be the kind of person I want to meet
But until you stay with words unspoken
These walls I built will be left unbroken.

Your smile lies
Just like your eyes
You try to hide the pain
But I can see through your guise.

You dont understand why
But I know the life
Thats why I try
To keep you alive

Because in my mind
Youre my life
So If you die
Then so will I.

So please dont go
Just turn off the show
Open up to me...
I can help you breathe.

Birds will sing
Words might sting
But with one little ring,
You can become my everything.  

It starts from one little voice.
One simple choice
Just make a noise
And you'll hear my voice.

Im not done
Until the setting sun
Starts to die
And fails to rise.

Because in the end
Your only friend
Is truly shown
Through what you think you might know.
