Life

One man's heaven, is another man's hell
Some see a pond, others: A wishing well
One person loves to dance in the rain
Another hides inside, feeling nothing but pain
One sees food as fuel
another, a jumbled mass of harmful calories
One sees a razor as only a shaving tool
another, a way to ease the pain
One sees life as a beautiful
another, nothing but sadness
One sees the other as weak
another sees the other as someone they wish they were.

*It's all about perspective

Dream

Dream

I close my eyes as I breathe in the ocean, I am happy
A little white house on the beach, you and I sitting on a verander facing the ocean
I smile as peace flows over me, this is my dream
My dream with u by my side

But you're not here yet, I am waiting for you
Where are you, why you not here
How long do I have to wait for you, for my dream to come true
My dream with you by my side

So often I believed you were here, but it wasn't you
I don't know your face, but I know the way you make me feel
I don't know your name, but I know the way you say mine
I don't know when you will come, but I am waiting for you
I am waiting for my dream, my dream with you by my side

So I open my eyes and look at my desk
I breathe as I wait, wait for my dream
My dream with you by my side

LOVE

LOVE

LOVE

A word made up to bring pain

A dizzier to create suffering

Why do we love only to be left behind

Why do I fear to love

Does love know it hurts

Can love bring happiness

Have I entombed myself in a invisible bird cage, where there is no exit, no freedom

I watch my fragile life from a distance, knowing it will dissolve into dust

I still dream of places I once explored, where the sun never sets and the darkness never comes

My mind so strong, like iron horse men advancing into battle, knowing there is no return

Hold

Hold

I hold my breath
As the seconds, minutes, hours and days pass
I hold my breath as if it will help you to remember me
To remember my kisses, my touch, my love

I hold my breath
As I wait for the phone to ring
For the next time I see you
I hold my breath as I pray u remember me

I exhale
As I have lost hope
The seconds, minutes, hours and days have passed
And u have not remembered me
I have to let go

Then you appear
And I have to hold on to this time
Because I don't know how many
Seconds, minutes, hours and days will pass till I see you
Again

Friend

Friend

You see me as strong, but my strength hides my weakness
You see me as happy, but my happiness hides my sadness
You see me smile, but my smile hides my vulnerability
You say you my friend, can you not see what I am hiding?

You mistake me listening as if I don't need to be listened to
You mistake my advice as if I don't need it too
You mistake me smiling as if I am content
You say you my friend, can you not see that I am scared?

I let you shine cause I am too broken to care
I let you sing cause I am too hurt to hear my own voice
I let you be cause I feel like I cannot be
You say you my friend, can you see that I am yours?

Hope

Hope

The jolting of your heart as you awaken and all is dark
The fear rushing through you as darkness surrounds you
The realization that there is no one around
Just you and darkness

You rush around, knocking into furniture and doors
Your racing heartbeat the only sound you hear
Anxiety as your fear overwhelms you

You sit on the bed as your mind imagines the worst
Demons under the bed, ghost watching you
You hear the tick tick of the clock, and your heart eases
You calm down because you know its only a matter of time
Before the sun comes up

Loss

Loss

That moment tragedy strikes our lives
The pain we feel is best described as anxiety
Where the heart and the mind tries to find a way back to the minutes just before we discovered that pain
Only time can ease the heart
Only time can make the mind understand

I hope that the time to get there is hasten in your loss

Mind games

Mind games

I am dancing with him, but I am dancing for you
I know you watching me, I am aware you want me
I sway my hips to lure you, lure you to want me more
Because you and I have played this game before

A game of cat and mouse, a game of the mind
A game of power, so when he pulls me close I don't resist
Because I know you watching
I sway my hips to the rhythm of the base, with him up against me

I know you watching, I know you want me
So when you come and take my hand
I know that I have the power, the power to make you want me
I feel your breathe on my neck, I am intoxicated by my desire for you

Seduced by the sensation of your touch
Encouraged by the smell of your perfume
I drown in the power of you!

Logic Killer

Logic Killer

Inside my head I scream and shout,
and say that you are now allowed,
to keep my heart all for yourself.

But at the same time it's a lie,
for I have neither strength nor will,
to steal back that which isn't mine.

So now there's no more heart to give,
when it clings to you... so constantly,
but this road is a straight dead end.

I'm afraid for my heart that's run away,
so treat it kindly, it's my only one,
and let it live to love another day.

~

You can't choose who you love.
The heart knows what is wants.
It's relentless, it doesn't listen.
It dismisses reason.

It's a logic killer.
