Rainy days,
Bring me back down memory lane.
Overnight stays,
Keeping me from going insane.
Back to the good old times,
Seeing friends long lost.
Missing the sunshine,
Catch the ball that was tossed.
Rainy days,
Stroll down memory lane.
No one stays,
They just come back again.

Stay in the lines,
Bright and vivid colors.
Gentle wax shavings,
Filling a blank canvas.
To be a child once more,
And create chaos on a page.
On the walls of your grandma's house,
Or the kitchen counter.
To ignore the lines society set in place,
And be free again.

I bleed my words onto this paper,
My pain,
My thoughts.
Crimson red flowing,
Forming each letter carefully.
Every word,
Reveals my true self.
Bled out onto paper,
Nothing but words,
Nothing more.

I close my eyes and there you are,
Looking gorgeous as ever.
Your soft cream colored skin,
Your lush pink lips.
I want to reach for you,
Pull you close to me.
Feel your heartbeat race with mine,
Sense each compression of your chest with my own.
Every time I reach you slip further away,
Farther from my warm embrace.
I never want to open my eyes so I can hold on to this moment,
The tighter I close my eyes the more you slip.

I can't be the guy standing outside your window blaring a song for you,
I can't be that guy waiting in the pouring rain.
I can't be the guy who stops you from getting on the plane,
I can't be that guy who chases the cab with you in it as it drives away.
I can only be one person,
I can only be me.
I can't stop a wedding, bullets, cars, or trains.
But you can stop my heart,
You can make me lose my breath.
Life is nothing like the movies,
I just want to be that guy from the movies who gets the girl.

Sitting in the darkness,
Wanting nothing,
Needing nothing.
The emptiness surrounds me,
No light for miles,
No hope to be found.
The darkness breaks me down,
Drains my spirit,
Drains me of life.
The darkness makes me cold,
Consumes me,
Corrupts me.

For those who stand before me,
And for those who fell behind.
May good fortune shine down upon you,
May you taste the sweetest wine.
Then one day we will meet again,
And share a laugh or two.
Until that day let’s drink some more,
I heard the next round is on you.

Starry skies of old,
Meets new dawn of sunshine.
Moonlight emerges,
Only for a moment.
Then slowly fades,
Into the darkness of space.
Only to find others like it,
In the same space and time.

The words I've written,
The words I say,
Bring me comfort on a rainy day.
Your presence felt,
Your presence lost,
I'd try to hold you at any cost.
As the sky falls to the ground,
And no one hears the mournful sound,
I shall go.

I once was a drunkard of love,
Now I am hung over and angry off the feeling.
Dry mouthed,
Head throbbing from every sound.
No more will I drink from the poisoned cup,
Taste the once sweet now bitter nectar.
The passion for the want of love I had,
I have spilled every drop on the floor.

Cloudy day rolls through,
Light drizzle of rain.
Eyes closed to feel the gentle mist,
Sense the cooling droplets.
Silent intensity in the breeze,
Chilling to the bone.
Cold winter day,
Bitter winter night.
Once green grass,
Becomes a blank white canvas.
Deep breathe of sharp coldness,
Exhale the warmth of a spring day.

Befuddled,
Tongue Twisted,
The things I become when I talk to you.
In hope of finding the right combination,
The exact thing to get you to smile.
Flabbergasted,
Twitterpated,
Feeling something I haven't truly felt in years.
Butterflies in my stomach,
Twisting and knotting trying to contain something.
Fighting myself,
Unsure what to do,
When all I can do is think of you.

I have cast you like a stone,
From my life once again.
The burden of fighting for you,
Wanting you has been lifted from my shoulders.
I wanted nothing more to be with you,
Now I want nothing more to be rid of you.
You have tormented me,
Tortured me.
Left me broken,
Left me for dead.
You managed to weasel back in to my life,
All on my own stupidity I let you in.
I want you gone,
Not only now but forever.

I may not be the one you want,
But I am the one you need.
The one who will lift you up,
When I'm blind or drowning in the sea.
I have the strength to make you whole,
I will be your shield.
Protect you from everything that scares you,
Lay with you in grassy fields.
I may not be the one you want,
Give me chance and you will see.
I can make you happy,
Help you stay strong and believe.

I've run out of things to write about.
Everything is going nowhere,
But everything is going somewhere.
Out of form and context.
Different approach to something defined.
No more heartache,
No more pain.
No more want of love,
No more want.
The inspiration lies within,
But it also lies without.
Everything from nothing,
Nothing from something.
Void

Watch the world from star filled eyes,
Guilded souls with fire on high.
Floating through the cloud bursts,
Lightening striking to enhance the sights.
Golden sunrays,
Black and silver clouds.
The people on the ground dancing like ants,
Birds flying through the air like the swimming fish in the sea.
Hold my hand and we'll take flight,
Just as long as you're with me tonight.

Let me go,
Why do you torture me so?
I'm done with you,
Do you not realize we are through?
Move on and leave me be,
Can you not see you are the death of me?

Push back the night,
And crack the sky.
Have you ever stopped,
And wondered why?
Why stars fall into place,
Where is love's true embrace?
For the sake of all,
For the GLORY of none.
With all thoughts aside,
There is still only one.
One reason to fear,
Only silence to hear.
Stretched across the distance,
Pulled through the air.
Could leave you floating,
Would you even care?
Care for the one who falls,
Listening to old telephone calls.
Awake in this place,
Of silence and despair.
Only to find,
No one is there.

I may not be the one you want,
But I am the one you need.
The one who will lift you up,
When I'm blind or drowning in the sea.
I have the strength to make you whole,
I will be your shield.
Protect you from everything that scares you,
Lay with you in grassy fields.
I may not be the one you want,
Give me chance and you will see.
I can make you happy,
Help you stay strong and believe.

I want to disappear from thisplace,Nothing but a dark shadow on myface.Hide from the world’s light tosee,That in the darkest hour I shallonly find me.The light of the sun has beenbanished,Everything that is seen hasvanished.I want to disappear from thisplace,Nothing but a black shroud on myface.

Sitting,Waiting,Clouds roll in.Look to the sky,Head starts to spin.Eyes close,Head drops,Heart beat stops.Fall toward the grass,All time has passed.Breathing,Bleeding,Dazed and confused.Everything is fuzzy,No time to lose.Jump up,Stumble around,Catch yourself,Don't hit the ground.

There is something in the way,Trying hard to put my finger on it.Is it in your eyes,That I have wanted to look deep into.Is it in your smile,That makes me heart pick up tempo.There is just something in the way,You make me feel out of this world.Your smile,Your eyes,Just you…

I want to help you forget,All the pain in your life.I want to be the one,To make you whole again.I want to be your world,And protect you.I just want to...

No matter how hard I try,I keep bleeding for you.You keep taunting me,Haunting me.Out of a clouded mind,I let you back in.Did my hurting heart take over,Or am I hoping for something unattainable?I'm bleeding out,You've cut me deep,And I let you do it.

If you could see the scars,Of how many times I've been shot down.You may wonder why,I am still alive.I don't think you can see,The damage that has been done to me.Afraid to get hit again,Is why you don't see my spreading my wings.You make me want to reach the heavens,Show my true colors and fly.To spread my wings and fly again,Are you the reason why?

Walking through a cloud of haze,Trying to find the other side.Trying to guide through the fog,Weave my way to find you.Thicker than soup,Unable to see my hand right in front of my face.Searching my way,Unsure what I am really seeking.You could be right in front of me,But I can't seem to see you.The fog is too thick,This cloud needs to lift away.

Trust me when I say,
Everything will be okay.
Just grasp my hand,
And understand.
Until the end of time,
You will remember this rhyme.
Trust that I'm here,
And always will be.
There is nothing to fear,
Trust me.

Forgiveness I will not beg for,Forgiveness that I need.Go for the big score,No warning to heed.

I fell flat on my face,
Just trying to keep with the pace.
Tried giving chase,
Stumbled to last place.
Tried to yell and scream,
Felt like a bad dream.
Lack of focus came in,
Corrupted by sin.
Train of thought lost,
Were you the cost?
Admission denied,
Heart deep fried.
Slapped cross-eyed,
Collapsed and died.
