I'm in the arms of a stranger
Pretending that it's enough,
I'm in the arms of a stranger
Knowing that it's not love,
I'm in the arms of a stranger
Pretending things will get better,
I'm in the arms of a stranger
that use to be enough,
But I'm in the arms of a stranger
And I no longer believe in stranger danger.
Inspired by a song.

If life with you is a cup of tea,
my love for you is the leaves.
The longer I'm in your life
the stronger my love will be.
I don't need the richness of honey
nor the sweetness of cream.
You are the water that fills my cup,
and your company,
your love,
is all I will ever need.
Life with you
is a delicious cup of tea.

I am flighty and I am free.
I can fight the tide
But it cannot resist me.
Fancy things and diamond rings
Hold to me no fancy, you see.

A domesticated, standstill life
Is not a life I crave.
There is a vast, inviting sky
In which I must soar; and I implore
To you, please do not stand in my way.

Don't fall in love with me.
I'm young in heart and mind
And I'm old in soul, you'll find.
Don't fall in love with me.
I'll only break your heart,
I'll cloud your mind
For this soul is destined
To wander until the end of time.
Don't fall in love with me.

There was a year when
I believed in a man.
But that love was then,
And I am alone now- free to roam.
A new adventure starts soon as one ends.

I am selfish, to be true.
Always chasing my dreams,
Leaving behind others like you,
I soar and I fly-
Tears of sorrow in one eye,
Tears of joy in the other.

Don't fall in love with me.
I'm young in heart and mind.
I'm old in soul, you'll find.
Don't fall in love with me.
I'll only break your heart (not your fall),
I'll cloud your mind
For this soul is destined
To wander until the end of time.
Don't fall in love with me.

I have warned you, to be fair:
Don't fall in love with me.
*You'll see.
I wrote this after losing someone I love. I want to move to my homeland in another country. He wants to live his life here only.
I stood up
From a small town
Worked up the wits
To become a city boy.
I had nothing
But my pickup truck
And the girl  I left behind.
A shame my locals said.
But I left to become a better man.
Not a breathless ******* as they said
But a solider  fighting for our country.
It is days like today  I have to remember
The things folks like you always forget.
There are people fighting
For you
For me
Should not be overlooked.
We are worth the cause
For me reloading my m16
Boots on the ground.
Head held high
Because  I'll  be home
To see the fireworks tonight.
For soldiers who have given everything.
And  to my brother Justice,
I love you
