I never knew you could
feel at home with someone.
Safe in someone's embrace.
And then I met you...
You didn't give me flowers,
you planted me a garden.
You didn't just tell me you
loved me, you showed me.
You didn't hurt me,
you saved me.
I was waiting for the
emptiness to engulf me,
but you came along and gave me
a safe haven.

I wonder
what it is like
to have a soul
that is tied to stone,
that is happy with
the littlest amount
of love shown.
I wonder
are those the souls
that can withstand
the strongest winds
in the worst storms?
I will never know.
I have a soul
that is lighter than dust.
In one gust of wind,
I am gone,
like a dandelion
dances in the wind,
after it is blown away
to make a fragile wish.

I like it when you hold me
When I can look into your eyes
For you are beauty, a sense of familiarity, the feeling that you are all I need in my life.

oh Olivia you look beautiful today
well thats what they say
when my hair is curled or done a certain way
not when its natural or messy
oh how I love your outfit
thats what they claim
when my shirt and pants are uncomfortable
or my shoes pinch my toes
i just wanna be you*
Woah
yeah ok
be the girl who has such low self esteem
that smiles and laughs every day but
cries so hard she screams
who can be afraid of herself and who she truly is
all because she's afraid everyone will leave
if she's anything less

riding warm wind
inside-out outside-in
mouth christenings

lost and found
inventory on skin

remembering who
forgetting where
I am

your eyes unbind
and tie

penetrating unsaids

Never been a sunshine and rainbows guy
I prefer a crescent moon against a dark sky
While spending late nights questioning why
Children have to die and widows have to cry

My life really hasn't been all that bad
But walking with broken souls drives me mad
Meaningless tasks make me empty and sad
And if it all crumbles then I'll be glad

There's not much worth to the life I lead
Not many needs just nicotine and ****
Maybe a bandage for my heart that bleeds
A blindfold to hide mans evil deeds

I prefer thunderstorms to sunny days
Because light taunts me in the cruelest way
Justice costs money whereas crime pays
So I like lightening strikes and sky's that are grey

I've been beaten down until I was weak
But I've heard the voice of Mother Nature speak
As  I wandered along trails, streams, and creeks
She showed me peace within the mountain peaks
